Couldn't have picked a better venue.

We cannot say how grateful we are to have found the Nines venue. It was a BEAUTIFUL venue for pictures (make sure to get a picture on one of the balconies with your photographer on the other!) The attentiveness and detail that Andrew provided through the whole process was unmatched. He was one of the main reasons our wedding day went perfect. I would recommend this venue to anyone looking to get married in the heart of Portland.

Perfection down to the last detail

My husband and I were extremely happy with our wedding at the Nines. Everything went so perfectly and we receive many compliments from our guests for weeks afterwards. Charlotte (their wedding coordinator) is an excellent listener and she communicates with perfect professionalism. She really cared about things going perfectly. The rest of the staff as well were amazing and made our day so special down to the tiniest details.

My husband and I stayed at the Nines on our wedding night, as well as the following night, before leaving for our honeymoon. This hotel is my absolute favorite in Portland! The accommodations and hotel are beautiful, the employees are wonderful, and the rooftop is amazing! There is a restaurant and bar on the rooftop that has a great view of Portland from multiple angles and it has a classy vibe. This hotel is pricier compared to others in Portland, but it is the best and you can find some great deals, which we were able to do on Priceline.com.

I had my wedding reception at the Nines on August 8th and from start to finish, Charlotte at the Nines was an absolute pleasure to work with! She was very responsive, professional, friendly, and fun and I will absolutely send all of my friends to Charlotte if they want a ballroom wedding reception.
Charlotte, thank you again for everything!!

Charlotte Bell was our main contact person at the Nines Hotel though out the planning and execution of my daughter's wedding reception. I could not have have dreamed of a better person to work with, she was 100% attentive to our wants, desires and concerns, as well as just a genuine warm and lovely person! In fact every single employee of the Nines that we were in contact with, had the perfect mix of small town friendliness and expected professionalism! The Nines was our wedding center from Friday, October 10, 2014 to Sunday, October 12, 2014. No request of ours was too small to receive immediate attention, Our event had 300 guests, and from the cocktail hour to the service of the seated meal to the sumptuous post wedding day brunch, every detail was as perfect as humanly possible. I would recommend the Nines' (and especially Charlotte) without hesitation!

We worked with Charlotte mostly, and she was awesome. Quick to respond, patient, accessible, had great ideas, and was so pleasant. We also worked with other folks at the Nines as the wedding day grew closer, such as Chef Jami and Keri for the dinner and wedding cake, where the food and wedding cake were so beautifully presented and so delicious. We also worked with Micah for the A/V in the ballroom, where the ballroom was just stunning inside with the up-lighting and draping. Everyone with the Nines team, including the front desk, hotel staff, valet parking, etc. were so nice and did such an incredible job. I feel so fortunate that I was able to have my dream wedding at the Nines. The ambiance, atmosphere, and awesome staff at the Nines are second to none!!!

Like all couples, we had a vision for what we hoped for on our wedding day and wanted our reception to be a beautiful event that was a reflection of us as a couple. Not only did the space need to be lovely, it needed to be centrally located, and have nice accommodations for our many guests coming from out of town. In addition, we wanted to be able to serve beautiful and delicious food that was reflective of the Pacific Northwest and quality wines and cocktails. The Nines did not disappoint!
The entire evening was flawless, and the planning that went in beforehand was significantly more fun than we expected. The staff was so professional and accommodating, they truly made our wedding day everything that we had dreamed of. Our family and friends have taken to calling it the best wedding ever and we have to agree! It was perfect!

The venue is beautiful in and of itself. There were multiple locations which were gorgeous backdrops for the photography sessions. We did not need to worry about renting or buying additional decorations...we loved the room and the other spaces they way they were.
The tables and flowers set by The Nines were beautiful and elegant.
The food was fantastic, including the beautiful cake (some of the best cake I ever tasted!)
The best part about our event, however, was the staff! I was so busy that I had forgotten many of the details I had planned that were in their court and they came through and amazed me time and time again! There was no doubt that their main goal was to make our night a great success!!! The Nines staff helped make the planning of the wedding almost stress free!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
