Wedding Venue Special

Celebrate Your Nuptials In Our Favorite Seasons & Save!

What’s your favorite season in Oregon? Summer is always a joyful whirlwind around the Abernethy venues. Still, the time of year that really captures our heart is the first few months, and Portland’s recent heat wave has us daydreaming about mild temperatures, cool breezes, full creeks, delicate wildflowers, and newly minted leaves. We can feel the magic just thinking about it!

This month’s blog is a palate cleanser from the summer heat. We’re celebrating the loveliness of winter and spring weddings with a special deal on venue rentals for January, February, March, and April 2023! Ready? Let’s dive into the magnificence of getting married in the cooler season, and don’t miss our venue promo at the end!
