Abernethy Ballroom
Newly Renovated, Timelessly Elegant!
Are you looking for an Oregon wedding venue with elegant indoor and natural outdoor space? Look no further than Abernethy Ballroom. This newly renovated venue has it all and we’re thrilled to showcase the recent updates!
In the heart of historic Oregon City, Abernethy Ballroom has been hosting weddings and special events since 2001. It’s our original event space, where we learned the magic of empowering love stories. The ballroom launched a couple of rural landowners into a passion for perfecting the art of events with extraordinary hospitality. [You can learn more about Abernethy Center’s history HERE.] Over the years, our property has grown, but this space remains wholly unique, infused with the love of our community and vibrating with the revelry of thousands of new beginnings. As we embark on a new year, we are thrilled to unveil a new look for the ballroom, continuing to innovate and expand our full-service venue offerings.

What Makes Abernethy Ballroom Special?
Abernethy Center is located about twenty minutes southeast of Portland on the east side of the Willamette River, just below Willamette Falls. We’re close enough to the city of Portland for easy access, yet nestled in natural landscapes that make you feel a world away. As some locals will remember, the ballroom building, once upon a time, housed the old Oregon City Post Office
The ballroom welcomes guests with a classic brick facade. Inside, a grand marble foyer sets the tone for a luxurious experience in the spacious and elegant event space. Full wall windows bring ample natural light and the majesty of the outdoors inside. Crystal chandeliers and full-wall drapery add elegance, and new wood floors brighten the ballroom making it feel contemporary and luxurious. An adjoining patio offers secluded outdoor space with string lights, fragrant climbing jasmine, and impeccably manicured foliage. It’s a thoughtfully designed venue with little need for additional decor and inclusive amenities.
