Company party was a great time. Good food and well organized! Looking forward to another one!

Meh pretty expensive. And we ran out of food so fast during our company party. Either they under sold us (group of construction workers +1) or there was a miscommunication somewhere. Also a coworkers friend tended bar there before. She basically got let go because she didn't share the same political views as the rich they also didn't have basic things for cocktails, like orange juice and lemons. WTH? read more

I am speaking only as an employee. I worked one event for Events Northwest. And was told I need to have a food handlers card and an OLCC card. I was told I would be bartending at an event would be paid $30 an hour plus my tips. During the event, I was given a bar back assistant. This person had no experience and could not operate the wine key or the beer taps properly. This person freely admitted to me that they did not have an OLCC license. I expressed my concern to the management at the time and was told not to worry about it. Later, I found that the bar back took half of my tips without my consent. At the end of the event only a fraction of the promise $30 an hour in cash and told that despite serving mixed drinks, beer, and wine I was now considered a server. If I were booking an event to this company, I would ask to show that all employees are certified and to sure that you are not liable lawsuits or legal action which might come from uncertified and untrained staff members. read more

Our friends recently got married and rented speakers for the wedding. When the big day came we were in charge of picking up the speakers up and taking care of all the sound equipment. Well, everything was perfect with NW Events except for one thing. The groom gave us clear instructions that we could pick them up any time on Friday or Saturday as long as they were picked up before closing. Fair enough. We showed up on Friday and the desk agent (maybe she was new?) looked at the paperwork and said that no, they are not scheduled until Saturday. One of her colleagues took a second look and corrected her that the speakers can actually be picked up anytime on Friday or Saturday as long as they are in-house. Which they were. This was probably an innocent communication breakdown. Example: So-and-so over the phone says sure pick-up the equipment at your convenience any time on these dates. But the front desk agent didn't realize or didn't get the memo. She just saw what's been documented. Perhaps that's what happened. But here's the thing. When you are planning a big event - corporate, wedding, party, etc - it can be very stressful and the last thing you need is some communication slip-up getting in the way of everything just flowing smoothly. The last thing we needed was to worry the bride and groom about the logistical details of their arrangements for sound equipment on the big day. We go the speakers minutes later. Easy. Lightweight. Worked fine. Returned them. Drop off was easy. The event was great actually. Now that's the smooth I'm talking about. read more

See all

It takes a lot to impress me, as I've been cooking my whole life, but I was impressed! The food was tasty, creative and beautifully presented. Amazing work! Hope I get a chance to try the food again. read more

What a hidden gem, I would have never know this venue could hold so many people (300+)! I attended a networking event at this venue and was impressed by everything they can do. From decor, to tech, and food they have it covered. read more

I attended a networking event here and the space is wonderful with so many different options for a large or small groups. The people working here were so helpful and it is evident they take pride in what they do. They have an in house caterer and the food was delicious. I would highly recommend them. read more

Customer service is terrible, they don't care to sale. And Brooke doesn't even try... wow won't recommend and never coming back!

My company held an all day meeting here. I was an attendee and did not have anything to do with the planning. We used the large main room as well as a few other smaller rooms. One of the rooms we used in the afternoon for a breakout session was very nice except the door would not remain closed (it was broken) so we were distracted by the sound of people in the main lobby area. The seating was comfortable and everything seemed to run smoothly. read more

Great venue space. Very impressive but they tried to push their expensive catering company onto our event. Wouldn't let us bring our own food or catering to meet our culture. read more

Nice place. Rude mngmt staff (thanks Matt). Be prepared to spend your children's college fund or spend the night bussing your own tables with them hovering over you. Read your contract carefully or you could end up paying to have water glasses on your tables without any water to put in them. Or you could pay for spoons at every setting only to find out they're short about 50 spoons and not every setting will get one. Not sure what happened to this place, they were really great 2 years ago, but now they're just getting to good for all of us low lifes. New staff maybe? NW Events is now The Almighty's gift to Hillsboro. You should feel honored to step foot through their doors. They are so booked and so busy that they can treat paying customers like second class citizens, so be warned. Honestly, there are several other venues to choose from around here with friendly staff and event coordinators that value customers and long term relationships. Your budget will go further and help the Hillsboro community more if you book elsewhere. You will have a better experience for you, your event team, and your group somewhere else, especially if you have an annual event. read more

I had the pleasure of working with the NW Events & Environments staff over several months for very large and complex events with my company. These events involved multiple room set-ups and changes, complex AV requirements, transportation for over 1000 people, catering, 12+ hour days by both our staff and thier staff, and an large amount of flexibility. I never once saw NWEE waiver in their professionalism or customer service. They consistently went above and beyond to not only meet our needs; but to surpass our wants as well. I saw them do whatever it took to get the job done with integrity and efficency. The level of customer service was as good as it gets. I would hire them professionally for a large event or personally for a small event without hesitating. The most heartfelt of thank you's to John, Rebecca, Jesse and the rest of the crew. read more

I've had the opportunity to be a guest at an event here, as well as a wedding planner for an event. Their catering and staff are fantastic! The ability to turn this venue in to a million settings is awesome! And if you don't want to worry about rain plans or parking, this place is perfect! read more

Lovely facility, clean and versatile with several types and sizes of space for rental. I have held 4 events at NW Events and the staff has been nothing but professional, friendly and helpful every time. read more

Did a sales event here recently. Everything was very easy and the venue was just what we were looking for. The staff was very helpful and on top of everything, and the food was great. The projector setup was nice and the projector itself was higher quality and more modern than most venues. They went the extra mile, even wrapping up some sandwiches and offering them to guests to go. Will definitely host events here again in the future. read more

Businesses beware! I emailed this company about their venue location, gave them our party size, the date we wanted and asked for a rate to rent one of their rooms. Jessica responded quickly with a quote saying she would give an additional $250 off the rate if we used their catering. I made an appointment to go check their facility out and sat down with Jessica who had emailed me the initial information. After going through sample photos of prior events in that room, discussing menu choices, and upgrade costs for linens etc, I once again inquired about the cost of room and deposit terms. At that time, Jessica informs me that since the party was on a Sunday and it was during a holiday month that they required a minimum of $10k to be spent to rent this side auditorium room! Shocked with this quote, I asked her "What happened to the $1650 less $250 discount if we used your catering quote??? Why was this very important piece of information not disclosed when I initially inquired???" Her answer was that she just found out. TOTALLY NOT COOL AND VERY UNPROFESSIONAL. I wasted an hour of my time to drive there and fight afternoon traffic to get back to work!!! Next time when someone calls and inquires, please make sure you DISCLOSE all major fees like that so that it doesn't waste either parties time. Very frustrating when I could have arranged to go see another venue location that was in my party's price range!!! read more
