Portland’s picturesque Kimpton RiverPlace Hotel is one of the city’s only waterfront hotels and embodies a luxury lodge feel while sitting within walking distance of the downtown action. Perched above the banks of the Willamette River, guests are encouraged to take advantage of the unique Northwest surroundings – all of which is provided by the hotel.

At Kimpton RiverPlace Hotel, nothing seems scripted or rushed. The uniquely situated hotel provides indoor and outdoor event spaces. The seasonally inspired onsite restaurant, King Tide Fish & Shell, will give guests a taste of Oregon, with flexible menus that reflect the occasion and group.

Whether your big day is to be shared with 20 guests or 150, Kimpton RiverPlace Hotel offers one of the greatest settings 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 beautiful hand-painted wallpaper.

Most Magical Wedding Ever

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.

Helped us beyond our wildest dreams

They were flexible and took care of ALL the details to ensure our wedding was not just great but memorable and as stress-free as a wedding could be. Every detail was considered and in the end we wouldn't have changed a thing.

We enjoyed working with the Riverplace Hotel for our wedding. Josh was our point person and day of wedding coordinator - he did a spectacular job! He was easy to communicate with, he helped us figure out our wedding timelines, and he ensured that the day went smoothly. Wedding planning can be so stressful and I am so glad we picked the Riverplace! The location is gorgeous and was convenient for our out of town guests who enjoyed exploring around downtown on foot. The dinner buffet option was perfect for our large group and the chef was willing to work with us when it came to food restrictions/diets. Our guests raved about the food even now. We are looking forward to going back and staying at the Riverplace to celebrate each anniversary. We highly recommend the Riverplace!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
