Wonderful intimate wedding venue

Their Wine Cellar Room was perfect for our intimate 50 person ceremony, dinner and dancing. The food and service were excellent and the entire staff was there to make sure everything went well. Room accommodations great and loved the restaurant.

Casey was absolutely amazing! From the minute my fiance and I met him, he was easy to talk to and he followed through on everything he said he would do. We could not have asked for a better experience with Casey and the entire Hotel Vintage staff. Our wedding was perfect and there is not a single thing we would change! Thank you!

I don't know if I will ever be able to put into words how amazing Hotel Vintage and their entire staff was during my wedding planning process and the actual wedding. The coordinator there, Stephanie, is absolutely amazing at her job and I couldn't have asked for a better person to help. The venue itself is unique, beautiful, and absolutely perfect for what we needed for our wedding. The only decorations we brought in were flowers and a couple things for centerpieces. Other than that, the rooms were beautiful enough to need minimum decor, or the venue provided it. Stephanie was so patient and helpful during the planning process. She answered any question I needed via email, phone, even met with me when I needed it. She and her staff went above and beyond the day of. I felt like they were all my friends by the end. I looked at lots of venues in Portland, and choosing this one was the best decision I made!

Working with Stephanie at Hotel Vintage has been one of the best things to happen to our wedding. She is organized, friendly and fun. A perfect combination for someone who will be working with you a lot up until and on your wedding day. She has made the planning process for our reception as seamless as possible and I am so thankful for that.

When my husband and I were looking around for a venue we accidentally stumbled upon Hotel Vintage. We are so very glad that we did. From the moment that we first got in contact with Stephanie we felt really good about it. She was very informative, quick to respond, gave great suggestions, and was a definite pleasure to work with. We could not have picked a better place for one of the most important days of our lives. The hotel was gorgeous and I totally fell in love with the wine cellar (where we had the ceremony). The food was catered by the Pazzo Ristorante and it was amazing. Everything was amazing; the service, the accommodations, the way they made us feel special throughout the entire process. I can sit here and go on and on about how awesome they were. Just simply amazing!

My husband and I chose to have our wedding rehearsal dinner at Pazzo after reading several great online reviews of the restaurant and service. Although we were a little hesitant at the initial projected food and beverage minimum, we decided to book Pazzo after trying out the food for ourselves: delicious! We made an appointment to meet with the restaurant's catering manager, Krissa Swan, who was kind enough to sit down with us to create a custom menu for our event. Krissa was always helpful, and incredibly patient during the planning stages. We had several changes prior to our rehearsal dinner regarding menu items and guest counts. Krissa was always very understanding, and was able to accommodate all of our changes and requests. The night of our event, Krissa was on hand to greet our guests and make sure that our event went smoothly.
The Pazzo staff were friendly, attentive and fun. They provided fast and efficient service, and always with a smile.
We held our event in the Pazzo Wine Cellar which provided a private, intimate feeling. Surrounded by bottles of wine, wine barrels and candlelight, our guests enjoyed being in a unique space that possessed resemblance of Northern Italy.
For our menu, we chose to forgo traditional entree options and instead, hosted a "pasta bar" themed menu that included different seafood, meat, and vegetarian pasta options. Our guests loved it! The food was delicious! From the starter salad, to the pasta, to the desert options we had chosen, we received many compliments on our food choices.
We would definitely host an event at Pazzo again! The quality of food, service, and unique atmosphere is definitely worth the price. We feel that Krissa and the Pazzo staff went above and beyond to make our event a success. From the custom personalized menus and event headers, to the personalized service, we give Pazzo a 5/5 rating across the board!

We had our son's rehearsal dinner at Pazzo and it was wonderful. The food was excellent as was the service. We used the Tuscanny room for cocktails and the Wine Cellar for dinner - the venue was perfect for the occasion.

We had the pleasure of dining at Pazzo last year, but all of the planning was done long distance - we and many of our guests came to town from New York City. Regina, the Director of Catering, was very helpful in both the planning and the exectuion of the event.

Our wedding at the Vintage a Plaza was amazing! Even though we had a small wedding we were treated as if we were the biggest & most important clients they had. Regina helped up plan & implement every detail. She was fabulous before, during & after our event. Everyone was so helpful...right down to the doorman who retrieved my lipgloss from my friend and ran it down the street to me where our photographer was shooting some of our photos! Sounds simple but he just overheard me say my lipgloss was fading & boom...there it was. Now that is customer service! My husband and I will never forget the most perfect day of our lives nor the time & care Regina and the staff took to make it happen.

My wedding was this weekend in the Cellar room. It was awesome! Every last detail went smoothly and was everything I was hoping for. I can't speak highly enough about Krissa Swan, the catering and sales manager. She and all of the Pazzo staff are very polite, helpful and organized. I live in California, and thus planned my wedding almost entirely by phone and email. Krissa helped me immensely and provided me with great advice and suggestions along the way. The food was fabulous, the room was beautiful, and the transitions between ceremony, cocktail hour and reception dinner went very well. My new hubby and I are very happy with our decision to have our wedding at Pazzo!
We stayed for four nights in Hotel Vintage Plaza. On the wedding day we moved into the Garden Spa Suite, which was gorgeous. The hot tub on the balcony was fabulous. The only problem was on the second night in the Spa room, the hot tub was not hot when we originally got in. Fortunately, it came up to temperature in only an hour and we were able to enjoy it the rest of the night. Other than that one minor hiccup, we were so, so pleased with our entire experience with both Pazzo and Hotel Vintage Plaza.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
