Easton Broad 

5.0

Portland, OR
  • Up to 150 guests
  • Select services
  • Indoor
  • Starts at $2,200

Voted Oregon Wedding Day Magazine's Best Portland Wedding Venue in 2024! Centrally located just blocks from the Moda Center, Easton Broad is an industrial-chic, city venue perfect for the modern couple. While we lean into the greenhouse vibes, with a collection of over 100 houseplants, this intimate venue is a blank canvas that can accommodate groups from 20 to 200. Hire your dream team of vendors or ask us for our personalized recommendations! Need a little more space? We can help you obtain the permits necessary to utilize the sidewalk, right outside our doors, for cocktail hour overflow. This will allow much more flexibility for ceremony to reception "flips" with a higher guest count, and is also a great option for food trucks.

Easton Broad made our wedding dreams come true. The venue itself is so beautiful that we had very minimal decor needs. Kelly was amazing to work with and the bartending team was fabulous. They also have great vendor recommendations and connections to make planning seamless.

Holocene is a unique venue for weddings and receptions — a soaring, modern space with a clean, contemporary mood, endless flexibility, a full-range of amenities, and a dedicated staff. The lofty white spaces, big windows, warm wood, and cozy lighting provide a great backdrop — the space looks wonderful with just a few brought flowers, or can harmonize with a more elaborate scheme. The distinct areas of the space let Holocene work perfectly as a combination ceremony and reception venue, in any season. We have a stable of excellent caterers, floral designers, rental companies, DJs, and musicians to recommend, or, you’re very welcome to bring your own. We have a big stage (and amazing sound system), a DJ booth (and gear, and moving lights and video and haze), a photobooth, dressing rooms, a kitchen and gorgeous full bar (with slushies cocktails, great draft beers…) — all included in the rental. Please get in touch if you’d like to discuss possibilities - including live streaming events!

Awarded Best of Zola
We loved having our wedding at The Evergreen! The staff were so friendly, easy to communicate with, and clear on all the details throughout the planning process. On the big day itself, everything went smoothly thanks to the venue's excellent coordination. The bar service kept pace with our thirsty guests, while the day-of coordinators attended helpfully to any little issue that came up. The cocktail hour in the Loyal Legion space was a huge hit with our guests - they're still raving about it! The beautiful, open event space with its exposed brick had our guests impressed, and the large dance floor was put to good use once the drinks got flowing. Overall, The Evergreen offered wonderful value and really helped make our wedding day bright and special. We'd enthusiastically recommend them to any engaged couple looking for a fantastic venue with friendly, clear communication, great vendor recommendations items provided in the rental and excellent service throughout the process.

The two-tiered lobby spaces dramatically merge Portland history and culture with state-of-the-art sustainable architecture. This setting provides the perfect backdrop for a beautiful and unforgettable evening.

They made recommendations and let me customize to my hearts content! They were clear regarding what we would receive and were the most helpful in making sure I’d be able to do what I wanted for my day! I live hours away from the venue, so communication was important for me and they delivered! The amount of money I spent was very reasonable, I definitely feel like I got the most bang for my buck! I could not give higher praise to any venue more than I would them. I recommend booking here every time. 10/10!
