About

We converted this historic theater into a gorgeous downtown Portland event facility with two beautiful ballrooms, a large bridal suite and a gorgeous fireside foyer that is perfect for cocktail hour! The entire building is yours for the day and includes two outside patios… One looking out at Portland lights (next to our classic lit up Marquis) and a completely private internal patio built patio decked out with café lights and cozy outdoor furniture.

The West End has a fantastic state of the art lighting system which you can customize to fit your perfect design needs. We also included everything you need to make the space uniquely yours! No need to rent anything more!

We are so excited to show you around and would be honored to be part of your day!

Beautiful venue, professional and friendly staff

This venue is gorgeous! There are so many options for a wedding ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception within the many spaces and rooms. The small side alley is super unique as well. Natalia, and Meagan on the catering side, have been very helpful, friendly, and communicative throughout our planning process and postponement. Our initial wedding date was June 2020, and Natalia made the shift to a new date extremely smooth.

Amazing historic venue with outstanding staff!

I am professional wedding photographer in Portland, and I LOVE shooting at the West End Ballroom. The historic building is photo worthy itself, but when you add a love story it becomes pure magic! I have been photographing at the West End for years, and it has truly transformed. While it has always been beautiful, the recent renovations have made this venue one of my favorite places to photograph weddings. There are so many options with this space to fit a variety of weddings, big to small. From the fireplace room, to the grand ballroom and back alley way, this is one of the most visually inspiring venues I have photographed in my career.

Aside from my love of the venue, the outstanding staff is what really makes the West End stand out. I have been privileged to work with Natalia Barwegen many times over the years and the experience is always memorable. She is the perfect balance between professional and FUN, which has put my couples at ease for their big day. I can’t recommend the West End Ballroom enough!

SO flexible and easy to work with

We unfortunately had to cancel our May 2020 wedding and change to a wedding celebration in June of 2021, but Natalia and Meagan have both been incredibly flexible with allowing us to change dates without any hassle at all. We have greatly appreciated them in making this switch as easy as possible and can't wait to celebrate at this gorgeous location!
