Sarah G. Sent on 12/02/2019The perfect space for our day
Castaway was a beautiful venue and the perfect space for our wedding. They were really helpful putting together our floorplan and helping us coordinate the flip from ceremony to reception. We used a tent on the patio since it was cold weather, which was a great space for our guests to use. All of our vendors were able to easily use the room and make it feel like a unique space for our wedding. Paige and her team were friendly, easy to work with, and super accommodating. We loved having our wedding at Castaway! -

Castaway was great to work with for my wedding. The staff is professional, responsive, and helpful. I loved that some items were already included in the rental price which helped with my wedding budget. The space has a lot of character and versatility for events. I recommend Castaway and I would host another event here in the future. -

Oh my goodness the Castaway space is a dream. The space is modern and clean but still has lots of character. I can't wait to see our photos from this beautiful space. We had 140 guests and it didn't feel cramped at all to have both the ceremony and reception in the space - not to mention photo booth, DJ, buffet, etc. The patio was also a wonderful addition so our guests could get some fresh air throughout the evening. We feel so lucky we got to have our wedding at Castaway! -

We could not have been more pleased to work with the incredible staff at Castaway.
My partner and I toured Castaway before the pandemic and were thrilled to use their beautiful venue. Like many couples, we sadly had our plans dashed due to the pandemic. Castaway's staff and management were incredibly helpful and supportive as the pandemic unfolded and completely supported our decision to cancel our reserved date and instead hold a small ceremony at home with immediate family.
The Castaway venue is a special place and is managed by a group of dedicated people who care about making sure their clients have an incredible experience. I highly recommend it for any future events, large or small. -

Castaway is just the best! We had the most beautiful wedding (and rehearsal dinner at Blockhouse) and we could not have asked for better people to work with. Emily was so responsive and had all the answers! -

This venue is incredible. The people Who work here are incredible, and the space is beautiful. They include the tables and chairs which saves you a ton of money, and paying for any kind of draping helps bring the room to life. Not to mention the amazing lounge room is perfect for getting ready photos! What an incredible space for an amazing price! Highly recommend also heading to fields park nearby for photos!! Only about a 3 min drive! -

Love the space!
Castaway was the first venue we toured when looking for wedding venues, and it was love at first sight. We loved the openness and the ability to make the space our own and the large windows that let in lots of natural light. The back patio was the cherry on top as we were looking for an indoor/outdoor venue.
We worked with Paige as we were planning our wedding, and she made wedding planning easy for us. At our first meeting, she was able to whip up a floor plan as we were talking and even altered it several times for us leading up to the wedding. She was such a pleasure and joy to work with and made the day seamless.
The best part of Castaway - the outdoor space was the perfect place to surprise our guests with the Wedding Llamas! The blue wall is the perfect backdrop and we couldn't have imagined a more perfect wedding at Castaway. -

I recently had my wedding at Castaway and I can't recommend it enough. The venue is such a convenient location and has the option to rent parking spaces at a nearby lot if you think your guests need it. Their list of recommended vendors was great, I ended up using a caterer and photographer off their list. The flow of the wedding was PERFECT. There was no awkward pile up getting in/out of the ceremony or cocktail hour, and we had 225 guests. We ended up tenting the courtyard due to weather, and even though it ended up not raining, I think the tent really added to the cocktail hour and made it cozy. We even got lights to hang around the edge. Overall, it was as perfect night and a perfect location and I can't wait to get all the pictures back to relive it! -

We booked Castaway while living abroad and Emily did a fantastic job painting a picture for us over FaceTime.
Our experience was everything you would want from a venue; organized, attention to detail, and great communication. We had our rehearsal dinner at Blockhouse and would highly recommend doing the same. Being able to work with Emily on both spaces made this incredibly easy and we wouldn't change one thing! -

Beautiful & Accomodating
We fell in love with Castaway the second we walked in if that gives you any idea of how beautiful of a venue it is. Not only is the venue beautiful but all of the added value they provide was amazing; 200 chair, lights, welcome table, tons of dining table options, etc., I could go on and on. Once we booked them we received a Welcome Email with a lot of information that was so helpful to have during our planning. Paige & the Castaway Team answered my millions of questions throughout the planning stage and was always happy to recommend her ideas or advice which was very helpful as a couple who had no idea what they were doing. The day of the wedding went FLAWLESSLY and throughout the whole day Paige was checking in on me, making sure I was comfortable and if there was anything she could do to help. I can't say enough good things about the venue itself and the Castaway Team and would 100% recommend Castaway as somewhere to get married in Portland, heck, even Oregon as a whole. Thank you Castaway for helping make our dream wedding come true! -

Ryan Sent on 09/30/2017We could not have chosen a more perfect venue for our wedding. We loved working with Emily, and the space is just incredible. We had our ceremony inside, and then our coordinator and caterers flipped it into an amazing reception space while our guests enjoyed cocktail hour inside as well. I just happened to be 98 degrees in Portland that day, but the space stayed cool and comfortable. Overall it was just amazing and we are so glad we used it! -

Emily Sent on 10/18/2017I cannot say enough about this amazing venue. It was a perfect size for our 250 guests. We were able to hold the ceremony in one half of the space, send our guests out to the patio for the cocktail hour, and when they came back in, the room was flipped and the tables were ready. The cafe lights and lights strung on the patio were beautiful. If you book Castaway, you MUST book the patio. Our wedding day was cloudy, and once the sun set it was in the 60s outside. It was the PERFECT place to cool off after dancing inside. In fact, it was so comfortable, I spent more time outside chatting with friends than I did inside dancing! Our guests raved about our venue, and one even declared that she plans to have her wedding there. If I redid my wedding planning, there are a few things I would do differently, but I would never in a million years choose a venue other than Castaway. Simply the best!

Jonquil Sent on 06/11/2017We chose Castaway as our venue for both wedding and reception because of the downtown (industrial Pearl) location, flexibility of space and options for both indoor/outdoor spaces. We learned quickly that our vendors loved working with Castaway too! The space is attractive (huge windows, permanently hung lights, big beams) while also being a bit of a blank slate. They included enough chairs/tables so we didn't have to rent. Camila was incredibly responsive, knowledgeable and flexible. Very easy to work with! Our wedding day was unexpectedly warm and the climate control in the venue was spot on. Also the outdoor spaces were killer and our guests enjoyed both the Versailles Garden during cocktail hour and the back "parking lot" during the wedding. We would highly recommend Castaway for events! -
User2975848 Sent on 02/14/2017The Castaway is a beautiful venue located in Northwest Portland Oregon. It has been such a joy to work with the staff and Cordinator. They have helped us meet our budget, plan out the floor space, directed us toward other vendors, and even helped us find a caterer. We are so excited to have our wedding under twinkly lights, industrial windows, and polished concrete floors.
