E. Go Sent on 05/20/2023Gorgeous venue!
Gorgeous venue! The greenhouse with the plants and flowers looked beautiful on our wedding day! I loved how reasonable the space was. The nursery has a roof and collapsable walls if it’s too hot, and you can rent heaters if it’s too cold. The Blockhouse space also has a roof, heaters, and plenty of room for a decent dance floor. The inside space is very roomy. We rented the plant wall to fill out the area behind our ceremony. We also paid for the extra hour before our event for family photos. All in all a very reasonably priced venue. Everyone thought it was beautiful, and I agree. -

If you have a wedding under 100 guests, look no further than this venue. We recently tied the knot in early October with 70 people on our guest list and it was absolute perfection. Each and every one of my guests commented on how perfect it was. Blockhouse was the only venue we looked at - we knew the moment we walked in that it was the space. After booking, Emily and her team were impeccable. From helping bring the vision to life to day-of - everything was flawless. Huge thank you to this team for all of their hard work and wonderful customer service. Seriously, if you want a romantic venue and you have a smaller guest list, book this place! -

Something Special
We recently had our wedding at the Blockhouse with the added Pomarius event space. We had about 100 guests and even at that size, it felt so intimate. From the professional, friendly staff to the beautiful, lush green space itself, I would have to say everything turned out more perfect then we could have imagined for our fall wedding. If you are looking for a unique, warm, stunning venue look no further. I would have not changed one thing. I will be using the Blockhouse again for any private events in the future. Thank you Blockhouse and Pomarius Nursery. -

Perfect venue for our perfect day!
The Blockhouse is so unique and intimate that we couldn't imagine getting married anywhere else after we saw the photos of the venue. My husband and I were planning our wedding while living outside of Oregon and the staff at the Blockhouse could not be more accommodating with what we wanted style-wise especially on a six-month timeline and only seeing the venue once before the actual day! The day went seamlessly (even with a rain storm) and we have the Blockhouse to thank for that :) -

I can not say enough about the staff and the venue at Blockhouse PDX - their level of professionalism was outstanding, and they worked so well with our other vendors to make the whole planning process smooth for me. The venue was absolutely perfect for our 30-person wedding, and I loved that we were in a garden rather than being drowned out by a traditional ballroom. It was the perfect space for our intimate wedding, and I could not have asked for a better place to get married. -

This venue is a dream! It was the perfect size for our ceremony (70 guests) and we were able to have a therapy llama and alpaca at our wedding, which early on in the planning process quickly became a must for me lol. Blockhouse is the perfect union of nature and modern, beautiful architecture. We could not have imagined a better venue to represent both of our aesthetics. The ability to have an indoor/outdoor space was imperative to our vision and Blockhouse delivered! Emily was wonderful to work with and was right there with me every step of the way. She was responsive and gave great guidance on how to arrange the venue to best suit our vision for the day. The bar staff were also amazing! They offered to heat up a bottle for my 8 month old nephew and were so attentive to all of the guests. I can't speak highly enough of all the staff. I would absolutely recommend Blockhouse to anyone looking to host their event - wedding, dinner, party or otherwise, in their lush, beautiful, and truly unique space. -

Oasis in the City
Blockhouse and Pomarius Nursery were the gorgeous green setting for our wedding. It is beautiful and a photographer's dream. Our guests loved the unique and intimate space. Only quirk is that there may likely be a train going by during your ceremony, like it did during ours. But honestly, it added to the charm of the day. The staff is easy to work with, and their list of preferred vendors is comprehensive. -

We had our wedding at Blockhouse with the extended Pomarius space as well and everything was absolutely beautiful and ran seamlessly. All of the help we received from the venue staff was easy, friendly, and very helpful, Emily was especially great! These people really know how to run events! We have no regrets and our day was perfect to us! -

I was on the hunt across the world looking for a wedding venue for me and my fiancé. He is from Ohio and I am from Oregon. But since we are both military we weren't set on any state. I looked in both home towns, national parks, in our current cities and didn't find much UNTIL I found the Blockhouse.
The Blockhouse was a truly beautiful location to have our intimate wedding. We were planning to have around 100 guests but only about 65 showed up and it was the perfect space for the group. I could not get over how beautiful and unique the venue was. It is small and is only suited for intimate weddings but it is worth it.
Although it's not free use of the space even though you booked it for the entire day and vendors are allowed to set up starting at 12pm, you are allowed 1hr to take photos prior to the wedding in the nursery. Use this time to get those first look photos and family portraits! -
