About Us

The Wedding Website of Jared Goldsmith and Samantha Soto
On Friday, February 25, 2022, Jared was celebrating his birthday (which was the day before) with friends, playing pool at McMenamins Bagdad's Backstage Bar. Sam was with out-of-town friends on their last night before heading home. As fate would have it, our paths crossed briefly at the pool table—Jared's group was finishing up, and Sam’s was eager to play. While closing out their tab, Jared turned to his friend and asked, "Should I give that cute, smiley girl my number?" Thinking, “5% chance she hits me up,” he decided to take a chance. He returned to the pool table room, handed Sam a receipt with his number, and said, “Feel free to hit me up sometime.” Sam replied with a bewildered thank you. Two days later, Sam texted, “Hi, it’s Sam from McMenamins,” and we scheduled our first date for March 3, 2022, at the Tulip Shop Tavern. It was at that same spot, nearly three years later, on November 1, 2025, that Jared popped the question.

FAQs

We will update more as the big day approaches- Check back soon!
Question

Are kids welcome?

Answer

We'd prefer a mostly adult celebration, but exceptions can be made, particularly for families traveling from afar - please let us know in the RSVP note.

Question

When should I RSVP by?

Answer

We kindly ask that you RSVP as soon as possible to help us finalize the details for our special day. The deadline for RSVPs is May 23, 2025 (6 weeks prior to the wedding). We appreciate your prompt response and can’t wait to celebrate with you!

Question

Is there parking for the ceremony or reception?

Answer

Ceremony: The church has a small parking lot, and additional metered parking spots are available in the surrounding area. Reception: There are a limited number of metered parking spots around the area; however, we recommend using the covered parking garage at the Brewery Blocks for more availability. The garage has entrances on 12th Ave. and 13th Ave. (between NW Couch and Davis Sts.). Alternatively, there are two outdoor parking lots at SW 13th and Washington St. Recommended parking garage address: 122 NW 12th Ave, Portland, OR 97209

Question

What should we do during the gap between the ceremony and reception?

Answer

With a little over an hour to spare, you have a few options! Feel free to head home to freshen up, grab a drink at a nearby bar, or explore the area. If you’re looking for a convenient spot, McMenamins Ringlers Bar is directly below the reception venue—a great place to relax before the celebration continues!
