A home built for love, weddings, celebrations, and joyous new beginnings that have stood the test time. The historic Victorian Belle Mansion in Portland, OR was built in 1885 as a gift from David Cole to his wife, Amanda. A century later, the mansion has been lovingly restored and now serves as one of Portland’s most enchanting wedding and event venues. Located just 10 minutes from downtown, the mansion is a complete package, with historic décor indoors, and lush, expansive gardens outdoors, as well as exceptional service. This charming piece of history offers the warmth of a private estate without the worry of endless details. When you host your event at the Victorian Belle, every element, from the meticulously manicured 2.5 acres to the delectable cuisine, is unsurpassed.

We believe true hospitality is defined by inclusion and we welcome your diversity.

The Belle made our day

The Belle is an incredible venue. They make your day so smooth. Everyone who works there is a true professional. They are getting so many things done behind the scenes without you even knowing! The whole getting ready experience is so fun to do onsite. This place is an INCREDIBLE value. Couldn’t recommend more.

Highly recommend!

We had our wedding in July of 2024 at the Belle - working with them was super easy and the venue looked gorgeous. We had lots of compliments from our guests on how cool the property was.
Pros - _The venue is extremely spacious. We had our ceremony, cocktail hour, dinner, and dancing in four distinct areas. The guests could also enjoy the house as well. We had about 100 guests for reference. _There are many covered areas for rain or hot days, and the house has air conditioning and heating. Our wedding day was in the 90s and our guests were able to stay cool inside the house. _The team we worked with was always quick to respond, very organized, and overall just nice people who made wedding planning less stressful. The staff onsite for our actual wedding was great too. _So many rentals and extras are included compared to other venues. It was great to not have to deal with an additional rental company and it made it such a good value too._They have a lot of room for getting ready, and two distinct areas for each spouse to have their own space and privacy. 
Things to keep in mind - _The house is decorated very true to the era in which it was built, so you must appreciate old homes and style. This is definitely a pro for some people! _You need to use their catering and bar service. While the food was generally good and not expensive, it is Peruvian inspired which might not be exactly what every couple is looking for. You are able to bring in your own dessert and they cut and served our dessert free of additional charge. _You aren't allowed to bring in your own food or beverage even before the event starts / when you are getting ready which was kind of a bummer because they have a limited daytime menu.
Overall, it was such a beautiful venue to hold our wedding at! We would definitely recommend.

Highly recommend!

We used Victorian Belle for our wedding and are so glad that we did. From the beginning everyone we worked with there was helpful, friendly, and knowledgeable. I loved that they have their own in house catering service and that they provide so many items like chairs, tables, cutlery. It cut down on the cost we would have had to spend on an outside caterer and party rental company. Our party had a lot of dietary needs and they were to handle them all! As someone with a gluten sensitivity, it was so amazing to have a party where I didn’t have to worry about if I could eat something because they were able to accommodate my request to make almost all food gluten free.

Everyone at Victorian Belle were also great at helping our guests stay cool during an unexpected heat wave during our wedding. There was plenty of shade and they set up misters and fans. Although the wedding itself was all outside and under covered tents and gazebos, our guests were able to go into the mansion to cool off in AC.

I would highly recommend this venue to anyone planning a wedding. I will also be looking at their event calendar moving forward for the different High Teas and performances they offer the other times of the year.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
