Sophie was amazing during the whole process. She helped us and answered all of our questions in a timely manner .
We knew from the first meeting with Christina, our catering director, that we would be in the best of hands for our wedding. She executed our vision with perfection and was there every step of the way to answer all of our questions with patience and expert knowledge and alleviated every bit of nerves we had. The food was impeccable, the drinks were fabulous and the waitstaff and bartenders were such wonderful hosts for our guests. We had 120 guests, many of them travelling in from the East Coast and were so excited to give them a taste of Portland and the PNW. We hosted our welcome party at the hotel the night before as well and it was also absolutely perfect. All of the spaces were absolutely beautiful, and the waterfront location was perfect to show off Portland to our guests and to sneak out for some riverfront photos during our reception as well. We had to move our cocktail hour inside at the last minute due to rain and the change was executed with such grace and expertise that we barely noticed a difference. Many of our guests commented that they had never experienced such friendly staff. From top to bottom every minute of our wedding here was magical.

Located along the South Waterfront in Portland, OR, the RiverPlace Hotel is well regarded as one of the city’s only waterfront hotels. Perched above the Willamette River, the RiverPlace Hotel prides itself on a quieter approach to city travel. Guests are encouraged to enjoy the luxury lodge aesthetic, from cozying up next to real wood burning fireplaces, to nature forward bike rides to take in the beautiful Pacific Northwest scenery – all provided by the hotel!
Here at the RiverPlace, we like to slow things down. The uniquely situated hotel provides beautiful indoor and outdoor event spaces. The seasonally inspired onsite restaurant influences the seasonal catering menu, providing guests with the true taste of Oregon – with variation that will leave you wanting to return!
Whether you are looking for an intimate setting for your big day, or a celebration with a crowd, the RiverPlace Hotel offers some of the most beautiful views among Portland wedding venues. For a wonderfully intimate ceremony, reception, or rehearsal dinner, we offer our outdoor Riverfront Courtyard overlooking the majestic Willamette River and marina. And for larger celebrations, our magical Marina Ballroom boasts soaring ceilings, a wall of floor-to-ceiling windows, and a private Foyer.
