About

Invite your guests to step into the enchanting Leach Botanical Garden for your big day and feel the urban world fade away. The garden has a rich history, beginning in the 1930s when John and Lilla Leach bought the property and continues today as an evolving public, botanical and cultural garden maintained by the non-profit, Leach Garden Friends.

At Leach, we are committed to providing you and your guests with the experience of a lifetime. Our focus is to provide you with a breathtakingly beautiful location for your event. Our uniquely adjoining indoor and outdoor venue space is best suited for intimate gatherings of 45-85 guests. The Manor House features hardwood floors, knotty pine paneling and open-beamed ceilings. French doors from the Fireplace Room open onto an expansive East Terrace with a lovely trellis, fountain and seating wall. The main floor also includes the Dining Room, Butler’s pantry, kitchen (for food staging only) and 2 restrooms. There are 32 parking spaces, plus 2 handicapped parking spaces, and additional overflow parking available. The Manor House and East Terrace are considered our event venue space; however, after the garden closes to the public, it becomes a private space for your guests.

For more information on weddings, celebrations and business event rentals, please contact our Event Rentals Team at rentals@leachgarden.org or (971) 832-9081.

Sophisticated venue, supremely helpful staff

We had our micro-wedding at Leach in May 2024. Short version: it was a slice of heaven!

The entire Leach staff put us at ease from the moment we first toured the venue. Cheyenne is a true delight to work with, and she never seemed to tire of answering my very particular questions, both before and after we signed the venue contract. I’m an organized person, so I felt relieved to see just how on top of it Cheyenne and Kit were on all levels. They were always one step ahead and unfazed by any blips (or my anxiety lol).

Wedding day was a breeze. Again, this was a micro-wedding— only six guests! But we still had the trappings of a full ceremony, dinner, photos, cake, etc. Cheyenne and Co. executed the floor plan and timeline in the most unobtrusive, seamless way.

Having the Manor House and East Terrace all to ourselves after hours was pure magic. We felt like we were transported to an English countryside estate! My husband and I feel so lucky to have started our married life here. Leach is THE place for a sophisticated and intimate wedding!

Fairytale Wedding Venue

We just got married here and we can’t recommend it enough! Truly a beautiful venue! Our guests kept saying it was like a “fairytale.” Communication with Kit was great, she was so wonderful to work with, plus easy going and flexible which was especially appreciated considering the variability with COVID. Day of the wedding, it started pouring rain between cocktail hour and dinner. Kit led the charge to get all our guest tables inside the main house and we were amazed we were able to pull it off with our 50 guests. It ended up leading to a very intimate dinner that all of our guests appreciated. It was a perfect day and we topped it off with dancing in the rain in the East Terrace!

The perfect venue for our garden party dreams!

If you’re wondering if you can have a French-style garden party theme wedding in the middle of Portland, Oregon - you can and it’s at Leach Botanical Garden! The whole venue is so peaceful and gorgeous. We loved all of the recent updates Leach did that preserved the garden’s beauty while also having some cool modern touches. Working with the Leach Botanical Garden staff was a dream, especially in a stressful year planning with Covid precautions. They were so accommodating and wonderful when it came to shifting plans due to the pandemic, we appreciated their advocacy so much. On the day-of, Kit was amazing and made sure that everything was set up according to plan unbothered by the public. By the time the gardens were closed for just our wedding, it really did feel like we had our own private cottage and veranda for dinner. I couldn’t have imagined a better location for what we were envisioning.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
