On WeddingWire since 2017

Salem Convention Center is a banquet hall wedding venue in Salem, Oregon.

Your Day, Your Way!

Beautiful, flexible wedding venue to fit your dream, whether you’ve invited 10 people or 800. The Salem Convention Center boasts event spaces that are flexible and allow us the ability to provide the “perfect size” room to host smaller, medium, and large wedding ceremonies and receptions. Our venue is perfect for dodging the not-so-predictable weather that Oregon can provide but still displays the beauty of the outdoors with our floor to ceiling windows in our pre-function and ceremony areas - perfect for photographs! The Salem Convention Center's top-notch catering & bar services set us apart - your event will have an "all under one roof" approach - let our team of experts set up your event, serve your loved ones with a smile, and we'll even handle the cleanup! You will get to spend your day stress-free, knowing our team of professionals will handle your event details while you create the memories! Have your friends and family stay at our adjoining hotel, The Grand Hotel, or book your own honeymoon suite for a beautiful, relaxing getaway after your special event (ask us about our sleeping room packages!) Visit Bentley's, our onsite restaurant, for your rehearsal dinner, bachelor/bachelorette parties, or after party - the Northwest-inspired menu is a local treasure! Our venue is conveniently located in Downtown Salem, between Portland & Eugene, and we are easily accessible off I-5. Complimentary parking is provided for all attendees in our underground parking garage. SCC was built on the site of the hundred-year-old Marion Hotel, a premier downtown destination destroyed by a fire in 1971. The venue not only pays homage to Salem's past, but it has also helped revitalize Salem's historic downtown. SCC is steps away from unique shops, restaurants, and attractions like Riverfront Park and Carousel, Elsinore Theater, Reed Opera House, the State Capitol, and more. Regardless of your event’s size, menu preference, or theme, the Salem Convention Center is here for you! Contact our event coordinators today and begin planning an unforgettable, special event!

The staff at SCC was great in helping plan a surprise party for a loved one. I was planning the party from out of town, and Merrissa and Sarah were fantastic at helping me get every little detail correct! The staff the night of the party were also incredibly courteous, sincere, and helped make the night a memorable event for not only my sister but everyone else who attended. Thanks SCC team!
