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!

We had our ceremony here and really can't begin to explain how picture perfect it was. So many amazing photo spots through out their whole facility

Our guests really enjoyed being able to walk around the grounds before and after our ceremony, it really is a special gem in Portland.

Kit and the whole staff was great to work with as well, so patient and understanding through all the covid changes/rules

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!

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 booked Leach in 2019 for a 2020 ceremony, with a reschedule happening in 2021. Throughout all of the ups and downs, the staff at Leach were helpful, responsive and kind. The venue is amazing and their list of caterings is great. Not so much a 'party' kind of place, but a wonderful venue for our smaller, more intimate ceremony and reception.

Perfect for a wedding under 100 people. Very responsive and made it easy even to plan from far away!

The perfect setting for a ceremony and reception for 100 guests. A gorgeous garden-like setting, with patio and inside fireplace room. Staff very helpful with setup, reset for reception and take down.

Choosing Leach Botanical Garden was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. It is very affordable in comparison to most places, but I felt you got much more than what you paid for. I used minimal decorations (really just some flowers from the farmers market) because the garden and house were beautiful enough on its own. Of special note, Nadia, the wedding coordinator whom you can hire to help with the event, literally helped save our wedding. Since I had a relatively low key wedding, I thought I could get by without a coordinator. But when other vendors showed up late and the original set up did not work well, Nadia stayed to help with it all and made adjustments that allowed the wedding to continue on smoothly. I cannot thank her enough.

My husband and I got married when it was legalized last year, but wanted to still have the wedding reception - and immediately thought of Leach Botanical. And based on how our party went, we made the absolute best decision EVER!

First off, I have to say Leach is a well hidden gem in Portland. We have friends who grew up 2 miles from Leach, who said they didn't know it was there, nor that they knew how beautiful it was.

We met with Nadia, who is the wedding/event coordinator for Leach, and who is simply amazing. She guided us the whole way, meeting with us when we needed to, emailing or phoning other times.

We got to the venue at 2pm and found our caterer already there and working, and were introduced to the staff on site. Every time I tried to do something, I was told, "We'll take care of everything - go and enjoy yourself!".

The day was perfect and beautiful; we couldn't have picked a better one. Every guest that came in told us how beautiful they found Leach, and one even said they wanted to come back to do her daughter's senior pictures there.

We were so very lucky to find Leach when we moved to Portland back in 2002, and I'm glad that we were able to use the facility for our special day. I cannot recommend Leach Botanical and her staff highly enough! If you're looking for a beautiful, quaint, and intimate spot for a wedding or other celebration, you simply must choose Leach Botanical!

I am so happy we went with Leach Botanical Gardens for our Feb wedding! The event manager Nadia was amazing and extremely helpful throughout the entire process. They were so flexible and the grounds were gorgeous! We would have never guessed that in Feb we would have 63 degree weather but because of this we were allowed to move the ceremony outside at the last minute! We were able to get some gorgeous pictures around the grounds as well as in the manor house. I would highly recommend Leach Gardens for anyone looking for an indoor or outdoor ceremony location!
