    We recently were married at Urban Studio and it was for sure the best day of our lives. To be completely honest we were not looking for an indoor venue. As we searched the Portland area finding the place of our dreams might have meant waiting well over two years! Some of the outdoor venues we visited had strange OLCC laws prohibiting specific cocktails or a limited amount of time served. It felt like a headache but this all led us to Urban Studio. As soon as we met with Katie we were sold. She made us excited and relaxed as she assured us that there is really nothing we can't do with the space. She passed on excellent recommended vendors that worked perfectly with them in creating the wedding of our dreams. The food was to die for, the bar staff was amazing. Everyone was so kind and happy to assist in anyway possible. That is saying a whole lot because my mother is particular like there's no tomorrow. My guests told me the bar staff were laughing, dancing, and always smiling. As we were leaving one of the caterers gave the Groom and me boxes of food! They were marked "his" and "hers" and we chowed down in our Uber just gawking at how delicious it was. It was such a kind sentiment and the best way I can describe the hospitality and professionalism of this company. We hadn't had but a few bites to eat through the night and they anticipated that and sent us home happy as clams. We love Urban Studio, it was such a memorable place to get married. We look forward to stopping by when they open their doors for special event nights just to reminisce our wedding.

    I can't say enough great things about this venue. We had an event there and they were great from start to finish. The day of the staff was impeccable. Even Amy, the rep we worked with, came to our event and made sure things went smoothly. The space is beautiful, clean and so flexible for any event. We had a youth rally so we had a stage brought in and the students stood or sat on the couches and floors. We barely had to bring anything additional in from the outside beside our sound system for the large band and two stage lights. Urban Studio has a lot of fun light features available too like a disco ball! Even though we had an unexpected incident outside, I am thankful that Urban Studio and staff took it in stride. Thanks again, team! You guys are amazing.

    We chose to have our wedding here. We liked that the venue is sophisticated but also very versatile and we love the location. Working with Aurelia was an absolute pleasure. She was easy to contact and she answered all of our questions. Everyone at the wedding loved the food. Many said it was the best food they have had at a wedding. The staff that day was awesome...they were helpful, friendly and efficient. I didn't see anyone being rude or unfriendly. Everyone was all smiles. I loved being able to escape to the loft above the bar. I loved the couches. I loved the people walking by and looking in at our fun party. Everything was perfect and I am really glad we chose to have our wedding here. Our guests were all staying within walking distance so parking wasn't an issue for us. Thank you so much Urban Studio! It was perfect!

    Yum! Too delicious

    See all

We also used them at Alpine Events for our rehersal dinner with 52 people and the dinner was fabulous and the event space so lovely and personal for our gathering. Jan & Dani even decorated with the runners/candles/banner and flowers that we dropped off while at the rehersal. I can't say enough about them! Janey

They were also extremely flexible, which I think really sets them apart (and also being the most reasonable catering company we talked to and we talked to at least 5 or 6).

Julie from PCC was incredible. She was very responsive and flexible during the planning phase. She came to our venue walkthrough about a month prior so we could figure out logistics, the set up, and all our questions.

By 3:20, no one had arrived and I still hadn't heard anything. Around 3:25, I began trying to contact someone. After finally reaching someone after 3:30, I was told the kitchen had been extremely busy that day. At that point, I began to suspect the food might not be coming. At 3:49 PM -- just minutes before guests were arriving for a two-hour event -- I received a call letting me know the food had not even been made yet. I was told it might be ready "in a couple hours," and they suggested I order food elsewhere instead. We were left scrambling at the absolute last minute. We ended up ordering pizzas and salad from a local restaurant while family members rushed to the grocery store to put together charcuterie boards in the kitchen as guests arrived. It was stressful, embarrassing, and honestly hard to believe. I have worked in hospitality, events, fundraising, and vendor management since 2008 -- from hotels to nonprofit development work -- and I regularly hire caterers, bartenders, and vendors for professional events. In all those years, I have never experienced a caterer simply not show up and fail to communicate beforehand that they would not be delivering. To their credit, the contact person did apologize afterward and explained they were understaffed and going through staffing challenges. She also stated they would refund the order and help reimburse the replacement food costs. However, nearly a week later, I still have not received the full refund or reimbursement. I understand that difficult days happen in the service industry. What was most disappointing here was the complete lack of communication before the event and the position it put us in as hosts. Unfortunately, based on this experience, I would not feel comfortable relying on this company again for an event.

Both have ground beef, I honestly am not sure which one I ate, as it seemed like all that was inside was ground beef, but it was nicely seasoned. It was hot! Fries were ok, nothing too exciting. They were also nice and hot, although a few were soggy. They sprinkle dried herbs on them, which is a nice touch The cookie looked different from the pic on the menu; it looked like a flat, white, unexciting disc. In real life, it is 2 glorious, light, melt-in-your-mouth shortbreads sandwiching a generous amount of creamy, rich, not-too-sweet dulce de leche. I highly recommend the alfajores!

Everything from…read morethe planning, to the flexibility on the menu, to the presentation and aesthetic - they completely nailed our vision. We didn't want to do a traditional sit-down or buffet dinner and worked with Reedville to do more of a food station, heavy hors d'oeuvres set-up for our cocktail party reception. Every single item they made was seriously delicious, not just 'good' - NW salmon cakes, goat cheese tartlets, teriyaki meatballs for passed apps, and the charcuterie presentation was beautiful. Sweet chili shrimp skewers, thai peanut chicken, asparagus risotto, arugula salad, plus two custom items we asked for: pork belly bao buns and fried chicken sliders. Everything was out of this world. When we asked to do pork belly bao buns, they didn't bat an eye or even ask any questions - and then absolutely nailed it. The amount of food was perfect. They also tended bar for us with 2 signatures and a full bar and everyone was happy and drunk the whole evening :) The team was super friendly and professional, and Jessica's responsiveness was lightning fast. We would work with them all over again and highly recommend to anyone.

We weren't sure if we wanted to provide our own alcohol, or have Reedville do it, and Cam was so flexible with us the whole time.

I had multiple guest come up to me during the wedding and tell me, unsolicited, how good the food was. It was above and beyond many of our guests expectations of what kind of food they would be served at a wedding. My now husband wanted to order excess food on purpose just so he'd have more leftovers, I cannot emphasize how yummy everything was! The day of staff of servers and bartenders were all fantastic as well. While taking pictures during our cocktail hour and away from our guests, all of the servers made sure to bring us the hors d'oeuvres and cocktail each which was super appreciated! Overall I cannot recommend Reedville enough, they were fantastic!
