My brothers and I could not have asked for a better experience for our mother's memorial service. The space was a great fit for our group of about 125 people - intimate but not crowded, warm and inviting, easy to get to. The CH team was incredibly kind and responsive, and made it as easy as possible for us during a difficult time. We are so grateful to have been able to celebrate our mother in such a lovely space.

Attended an event there recently and it was terrific. The space is remarkable. Very different from many other venues I've seen weddings performed. It's got a very good atmosphere, great acoustics and I like the fact that it's easy to get to in the Alberta Arts District. The staff was friendly and the catering was top notch. A hidden gem!

Beautiful facility for weddings and receptions. Wonderful staff.

Ainsworth House & Gardens Ainsworth House & Gardens Mansion Weddings

It's rare for one venue to endorse another - but CERIMON HOUSE is a great addition (2016) to the options for wedding couples in the Metro Portland Area, offering an urban vibe for small and mid-sized events at remarkably good prices, and without lots of extra charges. We at AINSWORTH HOUSE & GARDENS (Cerimon's Country Cousins, as it were,) are happy to endorse them ~ between us we can offer pretty much anything for the discerning couple on a budget.

We had the pleasure of working an event at the Cerimon House. Their staff and management were terrific to work with, the facility was beautiful, and overall was just a great place for any type of event. Looking forward to being there again soon.
