I coordinated a wedding at Ferrier Creek Nursery last Saturday for the first time, and I'm happy to…read moresay the venue exceeded my expectations. I remember speaking with them at a large Portland Bridal Show last year, and I was impressed with their politeness and down-to-earth feel. I like the fact that they allow you to bring in a caterer of your choice. This wedding had beer and wine, which the bride/groom were able to bring in themselves. The ceremony was outside on the side lawn, with dinner on the main lawn, and reception/dancing in the barn. The grass was green, and all of the landscaping was well maintained, creating a beautiful backdrop for the ceremony and dinner. The barn has an undercover area in the front, which is handy for a backup plan due to less than preferable weather. The barn has a smaller side, good for cake cutting, bar, guest book, or gift table. The main side of the barn is great for dancing. The upstairs area of the barn gives a great perspective for photos, bouquet toss/garter toss, or extra space for tables. There is a back walkway that is great for storage, or for a photobooth area. I liked that we could come in as early as 9am to setup, and we weren't required to be cleaned and out until midnight. This gave the bride, groom, and their family plenty of time to truly relax and enjoy the day. The venue provides plenty of parking, plenty of space, and exclusive use of the venue site for the majority of the day at a reasonable cost. They were very hospitable, and provided as much help as they could to make the day run smooth...even if it was outside of their contracted responsibilities. The only two things that I noticed were not perfect were: The lawn for the ceremony was being watered the day of to keep the grass green, however it made the grass slightly soggy, but not unmanageable, and if they incorporated outside lighting into their landscaping, it would not only enhance the beauty of the already wonderful scenery, but provide useful extra lighting when tearing down outside on the lawn after dark. On a positive note, they did provide one large industrial light that provided enough light to get the job done when breaking down the dinner setup on the lawn. Thank you Ferrier Creek for all of your help!

Kudos to Kim for making our weekend absolutely perfect…read more The house is located in such a beautiful setting, surrounded by vineyards, trees and more nature than you can possibly ask for. Our very active dog was in love with every inch of her garden/yard and all the room it afforded to run around in. The spotlessly clean loft was waaayyyy bigger than the photos do it justice. No detail was overlooked, from the abundance of toiletries, fully-stocked kitchen and drawers, board games, and the assortment of snacks for day trips. Owner Kim made sure we had a flash light for late night returns, left water bowl and bags out for our little guy, and even sent texts while we visited to make sure everything lived up to our expectations. You can really tell Kim cares to make sure her guests have an enjoyable time. One of the most thoughtful and memorable highlights is Kim's freshly baked muffins she had ready for us the first day. Something she is no doubt famous for already! I would highly recommend a stay in Kim and Paul's loft. We will definitely be staying with them again in the future and look forward to another lovely visit to the Aurora home Kim has made so ideal for her guests!

We had the pleasure of working with Lesley and her staff for our Tiny Coordinated wedding this…read moreSeptember. In May, I wanted to book our wedding in a timely manner due to needing to request time off from my work. Lesley was not available to show us the venue due to her being out of the country at the time but she was very accommodating and had Melissa come and show us the venue. We fell in love with Melissa right away. She explained all the different options and packages we could pick from. We gladly picked her Tiny Coordinated wedding option. Lesley sent us a reminder to apply for our marriage License 60 days before the wedding which was really helpful. She also agreed to officiate our wedding for us so she sent us a questionnaire to tailor the ceremony to our style. Then, once closer to the wedding she sent us a draft of everything she was going to say and gave us the option to adjust it as needed. It made our ceremony exactly how we wanted it. When we arrived to the venue, she had everything already beautiful, set up, and ready to go. She helped with getting any extra decor I had brought unloaded from the car. The dressing room was adorable with multiple mirrors to get ready at. We only used it to change into our dresses but we were very impressed with it and wished we would have booked more time to do our hair and makeup in there. My bouquet and the boutonnière made by Melissa was stunning. The flowers on the top of our arch were beautiful too. The ceremony was beautiful and Lesley did an amazing job keeping it short, funny, and tailored to how we wanted it. It was exactly how I had envisioned. She then helped us with getting our marriage license signed and filed it after the wedding for us which was a huge relief. She helped with getting all of the catering set up and our cake cutting organized. While my only complaint was that we ran out of tortillas, Lesley was able to get some more tortillas for us. Looking back on all of it, I was extremely happy with the experience we had at Lavender Owl Farm. It sounds like they are making even more improvements to make the venue more beautiful then it already is. The beauty of the farm-like style and flowery gardens speaks for itself and doesn't require much more decor. I would highly recommend to others looking to have a beautiful small intimate wedding.

When our…read moreoriginal plans fell through, I called Events Unlimited's Portland office and inquired about their availability. The phone call was quick and informative -- and we were able to arrange to rent the cabinet for the event, which was only two weeks away. The pricing was very reasonable, considering it included delivery and set up. Delivery was very prompt (they delivered on the early end of the window they quoted us) and they handled set up and pick up of the arcade machine without needing to interface with us at the event at all. I also found them to be very responsive to both our emails and calls. One small drawback of working with Events Unlimited is that they were not able to confirm final delivery time until the Friday before the wedding (the day before) -- because they had to finalize their delivery schedule. However, they did call us that day as promised and we were able to work with them to arrange a delivery timeline that worked for all of us.
