Baker Building Reviews

We picked Baker Building because of the ability to personalize our wedding in the space since having specific food and drink vendors was important to us. Because they have an open vendor policy we were able to have a wedding that felt unique.

We used the baker building for our December wedding. I had a feeling this would be our venue. After my husband and I went through the tour, we both looked at each other and said "this is the one!" It was a easy yes! It was such a dreamy place for our wedding. We were grateful that chairs and tables were included in the venue price. We did not have to rent any items because of it. We didn't have to add much decor because the space was already what we were looking for (hard wood floors, white wall, vintage feel.) The kitchen was also one of my favorite parts as it was very minimalist/clean look with plants. We had appetizers on the movable tables provided in the kitchen. The price of the venue fit our budget and was on the lower side compared to other venues. The two dressing rooms were helpful for the bridesmaids and groomsmen to get ready in. It was the wedding of my dreams!

We absolutely loved our experience at the Baker Building! The venue is gorgeous. We were able to truly make the space feel like our own with minimal decorations as the space is classic and beautiful as is. They had all the tables and chairs at the venue, and we were able to bring in our favorite caterer which was a huge bonus. There were extra rooms to get ready on-sight and so many extras (coat rack, extra furniture, even an arch for the ceremony!) We were able to provide free parking which our guests really loved. And venue owners are so sweet and easy to work with- they answered all of our questions and helped us talk through our wedding details so we didn't forget anything! Definitely 10 out of 10.

Everything was perfect Mark and jen were so helpful and accommodating couldnt of asked for a better venue The price fit our budget so affordable compared to other venues we checked out

We feel so fortunate to have found the Baker Building for our wedding. Their open vendor policy allowed us to bring in our preferred caterers for no additional fee. There were no hidden fees and everything was included in the quoted price. Mark and Jen were easy to work with and accommodating every step of the way. I would recommend this venue to anyone looking for a beautiful historic venue in North Portland.

My wedding was a beautiful day and the baker building was beautiful to work with

Very happy with this venue choice. Couldn't have picked a more gorgeous place to get married. The vendors were super helpful and quick to respond to my many, many questions throughout the months leading up to the big day. They were also pretty hands off as far as day of, which really allowed us to make the place our own. Venue had all the essentials, tables, chairs, ac(super important in a big white dress), PA system, kitchen area with plenty of space, two rooms to get ready and two adorable little bathrooms. You'd be surprised how many venues I checked out that either didn't have these things or nickel and dime you for it all. Plus there was free parking at the pcc campus just one block up and a beautiful garden a few blocks up for pictures! I would highly recommend the baker building!

This place was amazing! Was very happy working with the owners who responded to our questions so that our day would go off without a hitch. The venue is absolutely beautiful which made it even more special. My husband and I are so happy we found this place.

We loved our Baker Building wedding! Our 85 guests fit comfortably with room for dancing. The provided furniture drastically cut down on the rental costs that would be required at so many other local venues. The beautiful ceiling woodwork and lights paired with the stark black and white walls create such lovely ambiance; you can add all sorts of pizzazz and personality, or just let it shine in its modern simplicity.

My favorite part of this venue is how flexible the contract is. While the owners will provide suggestions for outside vendors, you are totally free to choose your own, or DIY everything! We were able to fully customize our experience to reflect our tastes, personalities, and budget.

The stairs do suck for loading and unloading, and they are an unfortunate, unavoidable accessibility issue, so it's not for everyone. But it is a great space if you're strong of limb and don't have guests with mobility challenges. This is obviously also not the choice for someone looking to sit back and let an all-inclusive venue do 90% of the planning and prep for them. For couples with creative vision and hands-on enthusiasm, though, the Baker Building is an unbeatable gem.
