Exchange Ballroom

this venue was perfect. The staff and Vibrant Table were easy to work with, which was great because we planned everything from a distance. The ballroom is an industrial, clean slate and makes the decorations you choose will really pop. We highly recommend doing uplighting.

to be so beautiful the day of.

Portland skyline, and the chance to take rooftop photos made for a prefect backdrop. It has a unique feel that was perfect for our style of wedding. The staff was very professional and easy to work with, and we felt perfectly at ease during every step of the process.

are attentive, efficient, and professional, and they are great in general to work with. It is in a great location, directly across the river from downtown Portland, and the west-facing windows show off the city skyline unlike any other venue can.

many months of planning every little detail to coordinating the day of schedule, they were there to help us every step of the way. They were so pleasant and easygoing; I really trusted that they would take care of us and make sure that our special day went perfectly and they did not fail me! I cannot say enough positive things about these guys, they were fantastic to work with. In addition, the venue was a beautiful blank canvas that fit our wedding style perfectly. We had our ceremony on the rooftop at 5 o'clock on the most beautiful day! We are still getting compliments on the venue and the view because it was truly spectacular. I would recommend for anyone looking for a real "Portland" wedding!

Highly Recommended.

rn place that fits my style. The Cascade Rooftop with it's breathtaking view of downtown Portland made my photos look stunning! Kyle Kornegay (the venue manager) was very patient with me and my gazillion questions, and very responsive to my needs and my requests. The entire VT Group team helped make my planning and wedding day beautiful and enjoyable! The Eastside Exchange Ballroom and Cascade Rooftop is the best place to celebrate your event at!

ce to get married any time of the year! I was planning our wedding from the east coast and we had amazing help and support from Kyle Kornegay and Kathryn Sobotka! They worked with me and my parents to create the perfect day from beginning to end. We have the most beautiful photos on the roof top and we got so many compliments on how fun the venue was. Perfect for dancing, dinner, toasts. You name it, it is all encompassing! I will be forever thankful for everyone's help here on making our day so special! So many great memories at this amazing venue!

rooftop view large enough for our wedding (which is hard to find in Portland!). After meeting with Kurt from Vibrant Table, I automatically felt comfortable and knew we would be taken care of during this whole process. Their communication was great throughout the whole process, and we definitely felt like they wanted to make our day amazing as much as we did (and they succeeded!). They even allowed us to visit the rooftop a year before our wedding so that we could time the sunset perfectly for our post-ceremony cocktail hour. Being able to get ready on-site and use the entire space was so convenient, and it really made everything easier. The team was flexible with our vendors and worked well with our coordinator to ensure that my husband and I did not know of any hiccups that happened during the day. We knew before we booked that by our wedding date some of the view would be blocked due to the new construction happening around the site. I have to say, it did not affect the whole experience on the day of the wedding, it actually gave an even more authentic city-feel to the night! The views were still fabulous! After the wedding, we have had nonstop compliments about the venue, the food, the drinks, and the entire evening being such an enjoyable experience. Our two moments we remember the most: entering the beautiful ballroom to our friends and family cheering, and closing the place down with the late-night rooftop dance party! What an incredible night!

nly place in Portland that I could see my vision at! I was really impressed by the space and was able to make it my own !

out the people who handled every detail, made every considerate accommodation, proactively prepared for contingencies and helped us not only stay within our budget, we were even refunded a credit because we spent a bit less than expected. They blew us away. We fell in love with the stunning view of the city and imagined how magical it would be at sunset and how pretty the city lights at night would be. It was all that and more. Our guests loved taking photos with the Welcome to Portland sign in the background, the pink and orange sky over the West Hills and the glow of the buildings as we danced the night away. We loved the food! We did heavy appetizers passed around by servers --the truffle mac and cheese and bacon wrapped sweet potatoes were big hits. A note about the construction: it gives you the most fabulous industrial chic photos and frames the beautiful view. You feel like you're in an oasis.

urt Beadell we had no doubts how great it was going to be. Our ceremony took place during sunset with the Portland skyline as the backdrop for our vows. (We cannot wait to see the photos!) Several guests told us it was the most beautiful wedding they have ever attended and everyone thought it was a great space. We also appreciated that they have so many tables, chairs, and bars on site and already available with the price of renting the space. Other similar appearing venues in Portland wanted to charge extra for each little thing, so we recommend that you ask about those "extras" from any potential venue. Bonus: the Eastside Exchange also has ample parking and they also do not charge extra to use the lot. Although we had our wedding in November, we completely lucked-out with a 63 degree sunny day. Due to the great weather, Kyle allowed us to rent the Cascade Rooftop at the last minute so that we could take pre-ceremony photos there. Speaking of Kyle, the venue manager, he was friendly and flexible throughout the planning process. For example, there were no subsequent events scheduled so we were allowed to pick up our remaining items from the venue on the Monday following our Saturday wedding. It was really great that neither my husband and I or our families had to worry about that immediately after the wedding, but obviously this won't always be possible. If you are looking for a modern indoor venue for your Portland wedding, you are not going to find a better spot than the Exchange!

om them... No follow-up email... Nothing. On top of that, the two exclusive caterers they have both COMPLETELY dropped the ball on the communication front. Between trying for over a MONTH trying to just get an appointment with one caterer and sitting in the darkness for a month and a half waiting for the other to just give me an idea of how much the food will cost me, I'm pretty fed up and disappointed. I STILL don't even know how much venue rental costs. Thought this was going to be the venue for me, but I guess not. What a HUGE letdown.
