McMenamins Edgefield Reviews

Anyone can say the venue made their event great, and most do. But when many, many people tell you it was the best wedding they have ever been to, you know something special happened.

My bride-to-be (now Wife) and I were already in our 50s in January when we started to plan our wedding in Portland, OR, with a growing list of 100+ guests who form a very diverse group - from our 2 year old Ringbearer, to my mother, who would be mad if I put her age here. We included at least 4 generations of family, proud Texas, native Floridians, Portlandians, high-school friends from California, employers, musicians, left wing, right wing, reborn Christians, Atheists, deep seated Democrats, staunch Republicans and more.

We had stayed at the Edgefield before, so when researching venues, it was easy to move this place towards the top of the list. At this point we were all ready watching this event balloon into a major to-do. To complicate things, this wedding was planned 3,000 miles away from our home in Florida, 1,500 miles from our coordinator and DJ, A2Z Music/DJXL were from Fort Worth, and our Officiant was coming in from Vegas. With rentals of 2 audio systems, stage lighting, fog machines, trusses and projectors I asked their staff for things out of the ordinary, like “hey do you have ethernet connections in the hall so I can hook up my own wifi?” And they answered honestly, quickly, and most of the time, with a resounding “Yes” we can make that work. And yeah… they have wired internet connection in the Blackberry Hall.

The planning and catering staff were amazing and very accommodating. We stayed in the hotel for a few nights, and everything was what you want when you are doing this. We never saw the event spaces (Blackberry Meadow for the outside ceremony near sunset, and the adjacent Blackberry Hall for the reception) until 11:00 am on the day of the event. Everything was laid out exactly as we had requested, and all we had to do was decorate, and install the audio systems, lighting, etc. Heck they had even added a projector and dropdown screen to the hall which we plugged in to and used for karaoke! This was the right place for our event. The right staff, the right ambiance, the right look, the right feel, and the right price.

We looked at several other venues before finding our venue with McMenamins Edgefield. They were recommended by a friend and I’m so happy they did. All communication with Caitlin prior to the wedding was top notch. The reception crew was spot on and communicated frequently with me and was more than helpful. I would definitely use again and absolutely recommend as well. All you really have to do is meet the food and beverage minimums and don’t have to worry about any other costs. Other than the 21% gratuity that really I think should be built in the overall cost.

My family and friends stayed the whole weekend on the property and enjoyed the concert, swimming, the restaurants, the bars, there is so much to enjoy on this property. This alleviated stress of feeling like you had to entertain everyone all the time. I worked with Rich, the event coordinator and they had my space setup beautifully. Food/Bar/Cake/Set up/Tear down/Linens/Tables/Tents.....all included! The serving staff was amazing, lots of compliments on the food and cake, most of all the hosted bar with our signature drinks. Best decision was choosing this as our wedding location.

We were very happy to share our special day on the robust and quirky grounds of McMenamins Edgefield. This place is a unique enclave of PDX culture. We got married in Blackberry Meadow and reception in Blackberry Hall. The Meadow was a great location for the ceremony. The one caveat is plan on direct sunlight! It was around 90 degrees that day, and the best seating arrangement keeps everyone in the sun.

We enjoyed how non-cumbersome the Hall was. It was big and open and fit all of our guests easily.

A swath of our guests stayed on the property, and other than the lack of in-room AC, people really enjoyed the stay. Word of warning during the summer, if there is a concert on the day of your wedding, plan on your guests ubering or arriving very early.

We would recommend McMenamins Edgefield for any couple that wants an authentic experience.

We were happy with the food and beverage selections, particularly the Terminator Stout.

We worked with Rich on the planning and the process was smooth and simple.

The best part was how much we could have done in house. It is really a life saver when you are coming in from out of town.

I sincerely applaud the Sales and Events Coordinator with McMenamins Edgefield for her excellent communication in answering our questions leading up to our wedding. We felt well cared for and were blown away by the service provided by the bartenders, catering staff, wait staff, and cleaning staff. That you for making our wedding celebration so meaning. What a stellar occasion of love, laughter, and fun!

Very quality customer service. We enjoyed our reception.

My first meeting with an event coordinator, we covered lots of topics like, ceremony & reception locations, Edgefield has 4! Catering menus and the options to customize, rainy day back-up, parking, bathrooms, music, lights, table placements, perfered venders, however their not required. My favorite perk is the free bartender with every event space.
So the pricing is different than most wedding venues. The venue and ceremony space is free. Which includes tons of extras like, tables, linens, chairs, staff and bartender. What is paid for is the food. Edgefield Mcmenamins requires that you exclusively eat their food and drinks on their property. To reserve an event space, you must pay for and meet a minimum food and drink catering order. In addition to the beautiful property and multiple options Edgefield Mcmenamins brews their own beer, distills their own liquor and makes their own wine, with actual vineyards on property.

We loved our wedding at the Blackberry Hall and Meadow! Everything about working with Edgefield was easy and fun. I definitely recommend the space for a wedding!

The grounds were beautiful. The staff friendly. All of my guests said they had an amazing time!

Planning our wedding went smoothly! Our guests loved visiting all the pubs and restaurants between the ceremony and reception. Blackberry Hall was the perfect size for our event. Food and drinks were delicious, staff was amazing!

The entire staff at Edgefield was great to work with! The venue is absolutely gorgeous and there’s so much to do and see while you are there. Great value for your money!

We really loved getting married at the Edgefield. The space was beautiful, the food was delicious, and the staff was so helpful. Catherine, our site coordinator, answered all of my questions in a timely manner and was very professional and organized.

We couldn't have picked a better venue for an all-inclusive wedding in the Ballroom. Our 50 guests had the best service, food, and surroundings to celebrate our wedding!

Larissa was great helping us with the planning and accommodating with our last minute changes and our event was flawless. The gardens were a spectacular backdrop for our photos. The food was terrific and the bar service was great. Overall, we could not be more pleased.

We got married in the Administrator's House Yard at McMenamins Edgefield. Our wedding day was absolutely perfect! We attribute the success of our celebration to our wonderful vendors. When you book with McMenamins, you book a venue, a planning coordinator, and a caterer all in one. Our coordinator was very responsive and helpful in the planning process. Our catering captain was communicative on the day of the wedding and our food and beverage service was incredible. Our guests loved the venue and enjoyed getting to experience a place that my husband and I very much love. We even arranged to have drink tickets given to our guests so they could walk around the property during our cocktail hour and enjoy a beverage elsewhere. I can't recommend this venue and their team enough!

I am so happy to have found the Edgefield for our wedding venue. We got married in the meadow and had the reception in the Blackberry Hall. Our sales coordinator, Cynthia, made the planning process easy with her quick responses and a few questionnaires to get everything in line for our day. The venue was perfect as we were able to stay the night before and the night of the wedding. We were also able to get our hair and make up done at this location. Everything was perfect- the service, the grounds, the food, etc.- I am very happy with they way our wedding turned out!

We absolutely love McMenamins Edgefield, so we knew we had to get married there. They have several beautiful places on the property to choose from to accommodate different budgets and number of guests. We worked with one of their coordinators, Cynthia Major, and she was so incredible. She helped us with everything, timelines, vendors, set up plans, catering, cake tasting, rentals, etc. She was so timely in her correspondence and was always willing to meet up with us to show us the space or just answer questions. She even saved us money a couple times!

The space we chose was the Administrator's House and Yard and it was beautiful! It is an outdoor space so we had to do a last minute order of rain canopies, but Cynthia did all the work for that. We had 72 guests and they all fit perfectly in the space.

McMenamin's catering was terrific! The food was way above what we expected. We did the BBQ buffet and guests raved about it. They even sent us home with the leftovers!! The staff was super friendly as well.

The cake was stunning and tasted even better than what we originally sampled! They baker even used the flowers and succulents that our florist provided. They boxed up the leftovers and we cannot wait till our anniversary so we can eat it again!

After the event ended, we were handed a our final "bill" and we were refunded the amount that didn't get used for the open bar! Have you ever heard of getting money back?! We were thrilled.

Overall, McMenamins Edgefield over exceeded our expectations. It was the perfect night! We will definitely be using them for any special events in the future.

Great experience! They went above and beyond and made my wedding day a breeze! The event coordinator answered all of my silly questions in a timely manner. The food was excellent. The service was excellent. I am so happy I chose this place. You don't have to worry about bartenders or catering or anything because they have all of that there:)

I cannot stress enough how much of a PERFECT venue Edgefield is! We hosted a wedding of 80 people in the Attic (all of us coming from Canada and staying in the hotel) and it couldn't have gone any better. Everyone loved spending time exploring Edgefield before and after our wedding and many want us to throw an anniversary part there! Jaclyn (the event coordinator at Edgefield), as well as other staff members were so easy and wonderful to deal with. Planning from Canada was a little more challenging but they made it so easy with their organization and willingness to answer my million questions. The event space was perfect and every detail for food and bar service was clearly thought out. We thought the price was really reasonable, especially for what we got. The food was fantastic and everyone commented on our delicious salmon and steak buffet. We went with sheet cakes from their bakery and they were so yummy! Lots of cake for your money! I ordered way too much. Edgefield is the best place ever for photos and we were able to go everywhere on site and get some seriously amazing photos with our photographer. We loved that we could choose the wine and beer to have available for our wedding and that they still did the fresh squeezed juice for the cocktails at our wedding. The hotel staff even handed out welcome bags to all my guests when they checked in. There isn't one thing I would change about my wedding. It seriously was the perfect place for us to get married and I loved every detail of the whole weekend!

Catherine has been a wonderful sales coordinator from start to finish! I can't wait for our wedding in the Attic!

Our wedding was on May 13, 2016. Larisa was amazing at getting everything together for us. We stayed for two nights and the staff was wonderful. We had a perfect stay and a perfect wedding. We would highly recommend having your wedding at Edgefield!!!

We loved holding our rehersal dinner and our wedding at Edgefield. Larissa was an amazing help. Edgefield was great with our guests. Our wedding went off without a hitch and all our guests were happy. Using Ruby's Spa for bridal party hair and make-up was an added bonus.

The advice, help, and service we received from our coordinator and other staff was top notch! We chose Edgefield for our wedding venue because of location, amenities included, and the fact that we could get rooms for the night. It turned out that our wedding was the same night as one of the summer concerts, but you would have never known that. The concert, and even the concert traffic, did not disrupt our event. We, and our guests, were given great advice on how to prepare for the large number of people that would be on site. If anything, it added to the ambiance. We're very pleased with how our event turned out.

This was a great, all inclusive venue situation. We needed no non-sense, efficient, and lovely. We received that and our guests we very pleased. Our wedding planner/coordinator at Edgefield kept us organized and relaxed. What a fantastic experience.

We had a perfect wedding last weekend at Edgefield. I can't think of a single thing I would change. The room looked beautiful. The table settings looked nice. The food was really,,really good and the staff wrapped up the leftovers from the buffet for some of our guests to take home. We are foodies and were truly surprised about the quality of the buffet. Larissa worked with me in the planning and did a great job! Even though it was Jerry Garcia's birthday and there were bands on the property throughout the day, this did not interfere in any way with our event and several if our guests were excited to be able to experience the music and the revelry. Everyone commented on what a wonderful wedding it was.

This venue has been nothing but amazing so far! They have all been so nice and accommodating. We are very excited to be getting married here in October. (This is also where the proposal happened!) It is beautiful and so US!!

We had a small ceremony with immediate family and were having a hard time finding a space/vendor that would accommodate a party of only 12 people; however, nothing seems to be to small or too large for Edgefield. The staff handled everything with promptness and with wonderful customer services. They addressed all of my questions with ease and the coordinators I worked with were really friendly gals. We had our ceremony in the Red Fox Room and dined at the Black Rabbit restaurant. Their property is so well maintained and gorgeous; such a lovely spot for photographs. Highly recommended!

McMenamin's Edgefield was the perfect location for our wedding. We got married in Blackberry Meadow and had our reception in Blackberry Hall. The fun feel of Edgefield made for the best vibe for our wedding. The entire property is gorgeous with plenty of activities for our guests to partake in. The food and drinks were also great. Our Edgefield coordinator, Mandy, was amazing! She answered all of my thousands of questions quickly and thoroughly. I hosted 2 different events at Edgefield this year. The first was not a wedding, but both events went perfectly. Edgefield follows through perfectly with all the things they say they will do with regards to your events. I didn't have to worry about anything they were going to be taking care of during the wedding.

Overall, we really enjoyed the high level of service we had from the McMenamins Staff from the planning phase all the way through the actual event. Our coordinators, Tiffany and Cynthia, made themselves readily available for all of our questions, gave us thoughtful responses and were pleasant to work with. The level of detail and clear breakdown of costs increased our confidence in preparing for the event. On the actual date of the event, high praise to the kitchen staff for making our bar and dinner service go smoothly; we appreciate their attention to detail, e.g. the toasts and cake. Many of our guests also complimented the high quality of the food. Based on our positive experience, we would not hesitate to recommend this property to others.

We loved celebrating our wedding at Edgefield!! It's is a fun, beautiful, venue! Our guests were so impressed with the location. So much to see and do! They loved the spa, art, and history of the hotel. We had our wedding and reception in the ballroom, and it came together just how we wanted it to. Larissa, the events coordinator is a pleasure to work with. Larissa, the Chef, and the entire staff there was so accommodating! The bartender, and staff that worked during our event were amazing! Great food and drinks during our entire stay, and the food at the wedding was delicious! A perfect wedding venue!

Couldn't have gone better. Cynthia was great! Service was great! Definitely recommend it. Especially if you're on a budget. Quality of food and drinks well worth it and for me (bride) I didn't have to worry about setting up and breaking down. Just showed up and had fun:)

Great price for an all-inclusive package. We had our wedding on a Monday, so it would be cheaper and ended up paying roughly $5,000 for the venue, food, drinks, and set up. So happy with our decision. Our families and friends all loved staying at the hotel. The soaking pool is amazing. Most importantly, our event coordinator from Edgefield was always easy to reach, a calming/realistic presence during the whole planning of our wedding, and all around a big help in making our wedding perfect. We 100% recommend this venue!

We had both our ceremony and reception in the Administrator's House yard at Edgefield.
It is such a beautiful and intimate space and was the perfect size for our 60 guest wedding. Having the entire house to ourselves was fantastic and provided us with fantastic privacy.
The food was wonderful- we had a vegetarian pasta buffet. Having all of the tables and chairs already set up, and torn down at the end of the night saved us so much time and effort.
Mandy and her team are so awesome and flexible and I can't thank them enough for making our day so great.
Plus, it was an amazing value and helped us have our dream wedding for our not-so dream budget.

We had an outstanding time at the Edgefield. Larissa was a great guide, helping all along the way and working well with our various vendors. The space is fantastic, just the right size, gorgeous and fun. Our guests loved the food and drink, the service and their time. Thanks for wonderful wedding!

McMenamin's has been a favorite family location for many years. We were so pleased that they could accommodate our daughter's wedding reception. The staff, buffet meal, venue, etc were all fantastic. The grounds and entertainment were a bonus for our party. Fun and fantastic!

I just want to do it again! Our wedding was amazing, it would not have been the same anywhere else. Our coordinator, Mandy, was endlessly helpful (and I was not an easy bride to please). Thank you, to the end of our days, for making the most special day of our life also one of the most enjoyable!

The Edgefield was a perfect place for our rehearsal dinner. We were given the ballroom on the second floor which had plenty of space for all of our guests. The food was delicious, great bar services, and the set up of tables was great!

We stayed here the night of our wedding, after having our venue at the roadhouse location . Edgefield staff were wonderful, grounds are beautiful.Our favorite part was the unique rooms and the gorgeous soaking pool.-Jeff and JeannineTurner

Edgefeild was easy to work with, and a great location since there is so much to do on the property. We booked off season on a Friday, which is a deal, but Edgefeild is already a deal even if this wasn't the case. In house catering, cake, most all the other services you need, chairs, tables, linens etc, some AV, etc. You need to rent very little, we didn't have to do anything. We did get cupcakes, not a cake. The in house bakery doesn't do wedding tiered cakes. If that's your thing, you can bring in a vendor. The cupcakes and the food got rave comments from our guests and everyone had so much fun on the site. It was really relaxing for my husband and I as well. We wanted a low stress wedding and we got it. The grounds are beautiful. We loved it! Since we were off season, we were glad to have picked an indoor venue on the property since Oregon weather is capricious this time of year, but the raid stayed away long enough for outdoor pictures. Staff was all awesome, professional and easy to work with.

My husband and I worked with Mandy to plan our wedding/reception in The Attic. She was fabulous. I know that she's busy and Edgefield hosts a TON of weddings, but she was professional, patient, and personal. They "have it down."

The Attic is a small space, but for our wedding of 85, it was perfect. I can imagine it would feel pretty cozy with the 100 max they indicate. We chose to have the ceremony and then allow for an hour set-up break. An hour seemed like a lot of time to move chairs, but my guests went with it.

We had 15 people stay at Edgefield, and the only complaint was the noise. So, make sure you warn out-of-town guests that it's not your "standard" hotel.

If you are looking for a reasonably priced, quaint venue for a smallish wedding, I highly recommend The Attic-or any of the Edgefield venues. Our wedding was perfect.

We traveled from PA to OR, bringing friends and family with us to celebrate our special day, and everything was perfect! Everyone enjoyed the food, drinks, and service. Edgefield is very unique, theres nothing like it on the east coast.
I would recommend Mcmenamins to anyone having a special event, we had complete control over every decision in our wedding planning, and the staff at Edgefield was very friendly and accomodating.

I can't thank McMenamins enough for our AWESOME day! We were able to meet with Larissa prior to the wedding to hash out all the details and everything worked out great. I had about 125 guests and ALL of them said, "This is the coolest venue we've ever been to" We had family and friends come from all over, so it was great that they could stay at a place for the whole weekend and were never bored (even just looking at the walls is an outing!) I am NEVER getting married again, but I wouldn't hesitate to do it all over (the venue- not the planning) haha! I can't say enough about how happy I am about how everything turned out!

Easy to work with! Fun venue! I loved having the spa on site as well. Dream come true!

The venue was beautiful and fit the personality of my daughter and her new husband. The staff was helpful and worked hard to make the event go smooth. Everything was in order - just as it should be and I didn't have to think about anything but enjoying the wedding and reception.

Blackberry Meadow and Hall at Edgefield are beautiful spaces that are well maintained. The staff at Edgefield are helpful when determining menu and quantity. You don't need to order as much as you think - we had plenty of food. It is delicious. BBQ chicken doesn't present so well.
There is a fair amount of flexibility in how you want to set up the spaces, so if you want to do something, feel free to ask as they may be able to accommodate. We were able to do more customization than I expected (within reason of course). The staff who worked our event were awesome and very helpful.
Our guests enjoyed our ceremony and reception and I believe that is in part due to the professionalism of the staff we hired to work our event and the staff at Edgefield.
Ruby's Spa was a great place for me and my bridal party to get hair, makeup, nails done. We all looked great!
Overall, I do wish Edgefield catered a bit more to wedding parties although they do more than they informed us they would do - we had a bottle of bubbly waiting in our room. Did not expect that!

Our contact Mandy was terrific. She made the planning so easy - with great options, suggestions and overall responsiveness. I never did feel like all Edgefield was looking for was more billing - I felt they really cared about our event, and our guests. Mandy had great suggestions for menu, how to handle happy hour, and was great on helping price our bar minimum. She was right on!

We would give even more stars for flexibility if we could!! Loved the experience and highly recommend. If I had it to do over again, I wouldn't change anything.

Amazing day! Everything was perfect! Awesome staff, venue and hotel! All of our guest were blown away. Best wedding site ever!

Edgefield was nothing but wonderful. The catering was loved by all of our guests.

This venue was beyond supportive, responsive to every question with a list of quality vendors, professional and support, with great value. The wedding was in blackberry hall and the meadow. It was beautiful, the bartenders and support staff were professional and always available. It was a great event! Tiffany, our coordinator, was so helpful in guiding us through this special day. Thank you!

I love the Edgefield. My husband and I had already had some great experiences out there and it was my first choice for our wedding. They made everything so easy!! I am not detail-oriented or self-punishing enough to organize half a dozen vendors to set up a site from scratch. The Edgefield already has it all going on and they do weddings all the time so they are seamless in their set-up. I worked with Breanna Shird, one of their event coordinators, and she was awesome. Someone I could easily be friends with. Edgefield is so unpretentious and a great value for all the services they provide. There was a HUGE sold out convert the night of our wedding and a beer tasting event the same night as our wedding which was worrying- but they directed our guests to the parking set up for them and it never felt hectic. Thank you Edgefield!!!

These guys were great! We anticipated well over their "maximum capacity" for their meadow and they were super flexible with that. Bre, the coordinator was great at communicating with me and was really easy going with how hectic things were toward the end.
I would recommend this venue to anyone wanting a beautiful, yet fun and crazy wedding!

This. Was. Amazing. Dream come true - seriously. Having our wedding at Edgefield was beyond what I could have hoped for. My family and friends from out of town were able to stay there - which they LOVED. Most had not been to Portland before and were blown away by how awesome and gorgeous the place was. Tandy, our coordinator, and all of the staff were incredible from the get-go. We were married in the Meadow and had our reception in Blackberry Hall - idyllic. My bridesmaids and I got our hair and makeup done in Ruby's Spa. It was so fun to have everything in one, incredible place. So fun to run into our wedding guests in the halls and around the grounds. I can not recommend this highly enough. It was absolutely beyond what I could have hoped for in my wedding day and experience.Awesome to have everyone be able to stay there and have the wedding and reception all in one place. Made things so much simpler logistically to do it that way. Really really loved it so so so much. Our guests thought it was amazing, too. We also got married on Tuesday, which meant the cost of Edgefield was half for the wedding space, the grounds were less crowded and the rest of our vendors were more available on short notice - we got engaged in Feb of this year. Really, this is the best place ever.

Fantastic venue! Our reception was held in The Attic, a smaller area on the third floor of the pub house. Not ADA approved, but we had no complaints regarding the three flights of stairs. It was expected, and so dealth with.

As for everything else, food, decor, hospitality, value, etc... was amazing! My hubby and I had so many compliments on the food (especially the Portabello Mushroom Ravioli) and the elegent, yet rustic look to the room (exposed rafters with twinkle lights and great gable windows overlooking the complex).

Tandy, our point person, was excellent. She was always ammenable to any changes we had to make regarding numbers, table positions, food, rooms, and was always available and accessible. She gets a 5 star rating on her own!

The value for our dollar was incredible, too. The room cost was included with a food minimum, and this covered decor, dishes, tables and chairs, linens, and food service (clearing, etc...). I couldn't believe all that we got for our price! My sister is getting married next summer and I'm highly recommending Edgefield to her as a venue.

Working with Tiffany at the Edgefield for our wedding reception in The Attic was a great experience. Friends of ours are getting married in July and hearing their experiences with their coordinators and their pricing made me appreciate Edgefield and Tiffany even more.
The food was delicious and many guests commented on how delicious it was. The servers were efficient, really nice and prompt. Service at all the different McMenamins pubs can be ummmm, erratic at times (always nice but you are never sure what food you will end up with) but we had zero issues with the catering staff.
The prices were very reasonable and the options for food and drink were great. There was lots of flexibility in how you wanted your reception to go.
The whole process from setting up rooms for all our guests, to them helping us hand out tons of out of town gift bags, to choosing menu items, explaining policies, going over day of details beforehand was a snap. Everything is very clearly spelled out and there were no surprises along the way.
If you are a McMenamins kind of person, and not everyone is, you will love having your wedding at the Edgefield. Your guests will appreciate a fun, unique place to stay and your details will be handled professionally and the food and booze will be tasty. We are so lucky we chose Edgefield for our wedding reception and wedding weekend.

I had my ceremony and reception at Blackberry Hall and it was amazing!!!
Thank you so much!!!!!

Edgefield is absolutly gorgeous!! We were supposed to get married in the Administraters Side Yard. But two days before our wedding it rained and rained. The forcast was rain throughout the week. My wedding coordinater was great! She moved us to Blackberry Hall (which happened to be out first choice and it was available). Our rooms and the grounds were so beautiful and relaxing. We will be coming back just to stay or for a lunch date! The Black Rabbit catered and was so yummy!

Edgefield was the far best venue for affordability, atmosphere, quality of food and variety. Most guests commented on how excited they were to finally go to a wedding at Edgefield! Staff was over the top! I didn't have a single thing to worry about on my big day! Kara was on top of everything and always 2 steps ahead of me! Thank you everyone! Kudos to Gregory and his staff the night of our ceremony. He was fantastic! Most organized crew I have ever seen. Can't wait to go to someone else's wedding there!

We had a lot of people coming in from out of town and the ENTIRE staff at Edgefield did everything to make us feel at home.
Colleen and her team were there every step of the way for us and having planned the wedding from Ohio - I needed all the support. I could ask for opinions and I got candid, honest responses. The food was great and so was the service!
There honestly wasn't one thing that we could or would have asked for more than we kindly received from the staff.

McMenamins Edgefield was an outstanding venue for our wedding ceremony/reception. Colleen was a model of professionalism in helping our vision of a perfect wedding day come to fruition. The location is just spectacular for everyone involved, from locals who travelled from Portland to out of town guests who travelled across the country. There is so much to do on the site. Blackberry Hall was perfect for our reception of 120 guests. Our guests enjoyed the rooms, food, decor, The Soaking Pool, Lucky Staehlys Pool Hall, The Distillery, and the many other cool locations.

Venue was great making it an all-in-one service. Food, cake, venue, tables, chairs and all for one price. It was outstanding.

Edgefield was absolutely amazing for our special day. Cynthia was helpful, patient and all around awesome to work with. We did a pizza buffet with heavy appetizers. Turns out even the pizza is deelish. Our wedding was fantastic and we are so pleased to have had it here. The staff were great and everything came together smoothly. Corn hole game was a big hit! Ceremony was at Blackberry Meadow and the reception was at Blackberry Hall. This venue is fantastic. Check it out!

Mindy Orvis was excellent to work with. She helped us through the entire process. Her knowledge and planning abilities helped us to prepare and complete the wedding n a much better fashion. The site was great. make sure folks reserve rooms ASAP as they do fill up. The golf before the rehearsal dinner was fun....anyone can do it! There is a minimum to be spent, make sure you do so. Mindy or the other planners can properly help you do that.

We had our ceremony in the Power Station Theater at 1. The lighting was perfect and the space was great for our little ceremony. We rented the arbor and it served as a great backdrop.
The Barley Room was really fun and the staff was amazing with the buffet and the drinks that we chose.
It was a perfect little wedding.

I really enjoyed the place and we really like McMenamins, Food was amazing and service was very accurate and on time. I will always remember this place! One of the best in Oregon.

Our experience with Mcmenamins Edgefield was great. We did not encounter any problems what so ever. Tiffany Yasui handled everything perfectly for us. We changed our menu multiple times and had some special requests. Our wedding was amazing and went off without a hitch.

We booked the Administrator's yard for our wedding reception and our coordinator, Larissa, was great. We had all our questions answered in a timely manner and changes to our event plan never seemed to be a hassle for Larissa to manage. Everyone absolutely loved the venue and the option to spend the night onsite was an added bonus. No surprises... everything was well explained. Encourage guests to book rooms early.

We used the Blackberry Hall and Meadow for our wedding. It was beautiful. They were very helpful with choosing linens and menus. They have a huge wine and beer list and you choose over ten for your event. There is no fee for the space, you just pay a food and drink minimum.

I found that the event coordination staff was very responsive. I did all the wedding planning myself, and because the McMenamins locations host a number of events all the time, the coordinator is really experienced and was very helpful in providing information and helping me with "what other people have done and has worked well..." type information. This helped a lot moving through the process. Having someone who was such a good contact also helped with having a point person who could answer questions. The service was excellent, the hospitality was great. They do not do much with direction at the actual event, but they help with a lot of steps along the way. The cost was really good for what we got. We compared it to other options, and were very happy with the per person cost.

70 people, 5pm, wedding and reception in the same spot. The folks at the Edgefield could not have been nicer, from Cynthia and Caitlin helping us with planning to the staff on hand for the day itself. It was a destination wedding, with 2/3 of guests coming from other places. Of those, 1/3 chose the Edgefield and probably most of the rest chose to stay in air n b's nearby. We got to hang out with our guests the night before the wedding and this is now such a big part of the memory of the place. The Edgefield is enchanted. The #1 thing we later heard from guests was how 'amazing' the wedding was, not for any one thing, but for the whole. Caitlin and Cynthia were outstanding and so kind. I loved the staff all around - so many others whose names I never knew, from the wine expert who helped us taste and choose to the bartender who made great drinks to the friendly staff who were so kind to the wedding party as we nervously waited to walk down the aisle. Side note, and something I did *not* expect, even the other GUESTS at this hotel were lovely. I don't think I've ever had that kind of experience before. Wish I had before and after pictures. The Attic space is transformed by your planners, flowers, linens, humans. Highly recommend!

Edgefield's Blackberry Meadow and Hall exceeded our expectations for a wedding venue! Our event coordinators were prompt to respond to emails and phone calls, and they were happy to meet with us on two occasions prior to the wedding. They took detailed notes on our event so that everything would flow smoothly. On the day of the wedding, the tables and chairs were even set up a bit early so that my family could begin the decorating earlier than anticipated. My husband and I had not sampled our specific dinner choice, but we were happily surprised with the quality of the food and the professionalism of the catering staff. My reason for rating the venue a 4 on flexibility is simply that McMenamins Edgefield has certain parameters about times and decorations that need to be respected, but they are quite reasonable. I highly recommend this venue for a whimsical, fun wedding spot!

Don't book on a concert night. Overall it was awesome, just very crowded in the public areas.

We recently had our wedding in The Attic at McMenamins Edgefield and everything was absolutely perfect. The location was unique and beautiful, everyone loved the grounds at Edgefield and there was so much to do and experience. The grounds are also a very lovely and diverse place for pictures. The entire staff at Edgefield made planning an event there really easy and reasonable and, in some instances, they went above and beyond to make sure our wedding went as planned. The Catering staff did a great job on the food and setup throughout the entire evening to make sure the event flowed well. I would highly recommend this location for a wedding or other event or just for a fun, unique vacation.

Our wedding was awesome! They were very flexible and open to what we wanted, made it so easy to plan our wedding because their venue space is already so "mcmenamins style", you don't have to add a lot. The food was great, as well as the bar. The staff was also great and kept the tables cleared of dirty plates and kept everything running smoothly. Mcmenamins is the best! Makes for AMAZING pictures also! Very stress-free planning.

We love the Edgefield and it did not disappoint as a wedding party venue following our small wedding off-site. We booked the Barley Room and it was the perfect size for our 35 guests. The food was great and we were glad to have the drink-ticket service, both to avoid having to pay gazillions for alcohol and also to make sure people could drive home safely. On the evening of our winter solstice wedding, we also were surprised with a bonus service: carolers in costume came and sang to our group, including requests! We are now thinking of having anniversary parties here in the future. Oh, one more thing - we booked rooms overnight for ourselves and a couple of guests, and then had a lovely breakfast in the morning with them before leaving for our honeymoon. That turned out to be a great idea, and we highly recommend doing that, given that there is also a great spa and beautiful hot pool to send you off all relaxed and happy.

It was amazingly easy to plan, even while I was living in San Diego. Mandy, our event coordinator, was amazing. Total dream wedding.

Edgefield is obviously awesome. And compared with other places, it's surprisingly low-priced. We and our wedding guests had a blast out there, and I want to give it a full 5 stars, but there were a couple things on our reception day (wedding was the day before somewhere else) that knocked Quality of Service down to a 4...
But before I get into the negatives, I want to make clear that the event planner we worked with was awesome. She herself gets 5 stars for sure. She was always incredibly helpful and responsive, no matter how many questions or issues I threw at her.

The problems we ran into were these:
1) One of the drinks we were hosting at the bar was supposed to be a non-alcoholic beer (unusual but necessary in our families), yet when it was ordered, the bartender didn't have any idea it was supposed to be stocked, and it never managed to make it's way to our party. I'm not sure why that problem couldn't be easily solved, but for whatever reason, we never saw the non-alcoholic beer that we were supposed to be hosting show up.
2) When we arrived in the room for our reception, we discovered that the projector for the slideshow was set up on a table WAY too close to the screen. In order to remedy this, we had to re-arrange tables and find an extension cord for the thing. It took a considerable amount of our time that we were supposed to be spending doing photos, so that was frustrating. And it just seemed silly since they must use projectors out there enough to know how to set them up. Mostly we were annoyed that we had to fix the problem ourselves as no one who worked there was anywhere to be found.

Other than those things, a HUGE plus is that they let you take home the leftovers from your dinner buffet. What?! That's great! So I definitely recommend Edgefield as a wedding/reception venue, just make sure you double-check the details on the day, with plenty of time to spare.

Mcmenamins Edgefield was the perfect place for my wedding! The staff was excellent, very flexible and easy to work with. The prices are really reasonable and they have a variety of choices.

Our planning went very well. We had the opportunity to work with two event coordinators, and they provided a smooth transition. Both event coordinators were very responsive in answering questions, via email and/or phone, especially since we planned the wedding from a different state. They were also very accommodating to allow us to visit/view the venue multiple times. As the final details were made, our event coordinator was very helpful, responsive, and prompt to finalizing and making some changes to our event contract, up to the week before the event. The staff during the event were very professional and nice.

There was some confusion with the delivery of the final bill. The presentation and explanation could have been better outlined as to how our prepaid portion was applied and a better explanation of what remained our final bill. If we were clearly informed of the process before hand, it would have eliminated some confusion at the end. Eventually our questions were answered, and things were clearly explained.

Overall we were thrilled with our choice in venue! Our wedding day was beautiful, and Edgefield provided the atmosphere we desired. We would recommend any McMenamins venue to our family and friends.

Aside from the unique and beautiful spaces, one of the best parts of having a wedding at Edgefield is that they can handle so many aspects of the event in-house and at a very reasonable rate. When it was all said-and-done we came in at or below budget and pulled off a beautiful event without hiring anyone outside to put things together.

We had a great time at our wedding, and so did everyone else because the Edgefield is so fun! Our wedding Coordinator Larissa was very helpful leading up to the event and the day of. Our food was great, everything ran smoothly! The only thing I rated them not high on was Flexibility and that is only because the McMenamin's has various policies that we had to abide by. BUt in thier favor, these policies are all clear up front and by no means did they detract from the party (things like closing time, food outside, etc.).

I only had my reception at McMenamin's Edgefield, my ceremony was held off-site. Overall I was soooo happy with my service and planning with Edgefield. My events coordinator was Tiffany Yasui. She was amazing! She was always available for me and very flexible, able to change anything for me when I had even last minute changes the day before! The wait staff are bartenders were cheerful, personable, and fast :)

The only negative thing I heard from anyone that was involved in my reception was from my wedding planner. The folks that were supposed to set up tables were not as helpful as she would've liked/needed. She said when she asked for tables to be set up that had not been they told her that they didn't need to be set up until right before. She had a conversation with Tiffany who immediately resolved the issue.

I never even noticed, nor did my guests. Everyone had a wonderful time and the venue is so gorgeous and neat. I very highly recommend Edgefield to every bride!

My husband and I loved having our wedding and reception at Edgefield. Since our first date was at a McMenamins, it only made sense to have our wedding at one too! Tiffany and the other event staff were great! We couldn't have asked for better, even the weather cooperated.

I highly recommend anyone looking for a place to hold their wedding, consider McMenamins. Having our ceremony and reception at Edgefield saved us a lot of stress. The in-house catering, set up, and tear-down made it fantastically easy to enjoy our day without stressing out!

From start to finish, we had a great wedding at Edgefield. We are very familiar with the franchise, and this helped us as we worked with the venue coordinator to plan our dream wedding. All family and wedding parties were able to stay on the property for the weekend, which is a huge plus if your group likes to consume alcohol (how can you not, with the brewery, winery, AND distillery?) One downside is that McMenamins does not allow couples to taste catering menus before the wedding, which is a bit odd considering how much you pay Edgefield (for our wedding of 150, around $20,000).

I’m so glad I had my wedding at Edgefield. BlackBerry meadow was a beautiful place to get married and having it so close to the hall was so convenient. The hotel was tricky- my guests couldn’t stay there because I wasn’t told it books up a year in advance so I didn’t make reservations in time. There aren’t bathrooms in a lot of the rooms though so I don’t think the older people would’ve done well staying there anyway. The food was outstanding! Everyone commented on how delicious it was. They say you get a wedding coordinator but it’s more of a contact person and they aren’t there on your wedding day- still helpful though.

We love McMenamins and fell in love with The Attic the first time we toured the venue. I loved having everything provided by one vendor: cake, food, tables, linens, and drinks. They were great to work with leading up to the event when deciding details. Day of there was a microphone issue which resulted in us not having one. Also, I was expecting a little more communication from them checking in, but that may have been difficult as we did not have a wedding planner initiating those conversations. The food was good, but refill on the buffet was a little slow. Overall, we had a great experience and I wouldn’t have switched to another place even with the few ‘hiccups’. Please keep a few things in mind when considering this venue; there is no elevator for guests with mobility issues, the shape of the venue for a ceremony is a little awkward when walking down the ‘aisle’, and even in November it will get hot in that space if you have enough people.

McMenamins is a great location for anyone looking to have a small to medium sized wedding. Our wedding was about 35 people and we were able to comfortably seat and hang out in the room. It was also very versatile as we used our room for both the ceremony and the reception. The food was great, they were able to accommodate various food allergies even the the point of making our wedding cake completely gluten free. As someone with Celiac disease, it was a special treat to be able to eat one of the most delicious cakes I've ever had on my wedding day.

This place is great. It's very affordable, high quality and a lot of fun.

We had a beautiful wedding for 140 people in the Meadow with a reception in Blackberry Hall. The weekend was spectacular and we took full advantage of the spa onsite for hair/makeup, the Ballroom for a casual rehearsal dinner and welcome party for all guests and the golf course for pitch and putt the morning of the wedding. The hotel is small so our late partying guests and some family members stayed here - most guests who were older or had children stayed down the road at the Best Western. The service and food was excellent all weekend long and our local and out-of-town guests had a blast on the grounds. This place is perfect for a laid back wedding weekend.

We couldn't be happier with how our wedding day turned out! The event staff were extremely helpful throughout every step of planning and the venue is absolutely beautiful! Everyone loved the food as well! The only downfall was that we could not access the space until the morning of. Which made a rehearsal difficult. Thank you!!!

This is a wonderful establishment and we had a great wedding venue. Everything is beautiful and quirky and well kept. Everyone we worked with was very helpful and understanding. Definitely would recommend!

McMenamins is the way to go! You save so much money with any of their venues because each one has a minimum food and beverage price. Once you reach this amount, the cost of the actual venue is waived. Bar service, all staff, linens, tables, chairs, dishes and silverware are all included as well. Plus, you have an amazing "resort style" location where friends and family can stay the entire weekend. Our wedding wasn't just a ceremony and reception, but an entire weekend we spent with loved ones. Ruby's Spa and soaking pool was incredible, too!

The food is AMAZING! My guests are still talking about how great the food and drink was. My ceremony was in the Meadow and our reception was in the Blackberry Hall. Everything was set up perfectly and was more beautiful then I could ever imagine. All of my guests said that it was the most beautiful wedding they have ever been too. I also had my and all my bridesmaids hair and makeup done at Rubys Spa which also did a great job. Really have no complaints, but it is expensive... but worth the cost!

Beautiful location, great food, good beer. Jaclyn was really helpful & responsive; we had a fantastic time.

We rented the attic space and it was beautiful. The coordinator was exceptionally helpful and never seemed annoyed with my constant emails and questions. The food was AMAZING. One of the servers noticed I wasn't eating one of the salads, (I was pregnant and avoiding soft cheese) so she made me a special salad. The spa was great, but not included in the package price. I'd definitely recommend a trial run with hair and makeup first. I loved everything!

Overall, Edgefield was an A+ place for our wedding. The Administrator's House & Courtyard were lovely. The staff did a great job with set up & service, and the food and cake were lovely. The food is still praised in casual conversation when the wedding comes up. Cynthia, our sales coordinator, was wonderful & responsive. There were only 3 downsides...1. We had to shut down and clean at 10. This was expected, but it came earlier than expected. 2. There wasn't much to be done about the heat either outside or in the Administrator's House. I was really worried about my 75y/o mother in the heat. 3. There were some miscommunication about leftover storage...I was told everything would be kept in the bakery's walk-in, but we had to stuff everything in the little fridge in the house. I did prep my poc, but she had forgotten about this detail. She ended up throwing a lot away, which was a missed opportunity. Regardless, my wedding was beautiful, the food was great, the alcohol on point, and that is due solely to the work done by the McMenamin's staff.

Overall, very happy with McMenamins Edgefield for our early summer outdoor wedding and Attic Room reception.

This location is one our favorite McMenamins hotels -- expansive, green, self contained, lots to do and see even though its removed from the hustle of Portland. Tons of funky, eclectic art, more bars than any sober person can enjoy, movie theater, spa, brewery, winery, free evening entertainment...this facility has it all. Oh, and did we mention the INCREDIBLE gardens? This place is an adult Disneyland. Yep, this was the ticket for our outdoor semi-casual second wedding. Wedding party included bride and groom, teenage kids and families with teenagers.

Use of the facilities is free with a catering minimum. The cost of catering was average to high, depending on selection, but overall the value was very good. We had many wonderful compliments about the food and service. We chose to bring in our own wine and paid a corkage fee.

The only complaints we heard from our guests -- the room selected didn't have an elevator so navigating the stairs was challenging for our older guests. We set up a "Happy Hour" for hosted bar which didn't work out so well because we didn't meet our bar minimum due to the ceremony running late. (Believe me, people were happy to drink on our dime if the bartender didn't stick to the schedule ;-)) If you're opting for a hosted bar, don't time-box the contract (opt for # of drinks or dollar limit.) And the last "negative" (barely) was the heavy brown drapes in the room -- it would have been nice to swap them out for something lighter and more seasonal.

Overall, very happy with the experience. Mandy, our coordinator did an excellent job keeping us informed, always called the bride back within 24 hours for questions and was very attentive. Day of the event, an onsite event manager was in the reception room, tending to our needs right up to the time we shut it down.

Edgefield is beautiful and a wonderful place to have your wedding, like a village all on it's own. We chose to have our wedding in the Attic, because of the cozy feeling you got when you walked in and thought the stairs (no elevator) and the bathrooms (3 flights down) were worth it, and it really was. It took very little to decorate it since the space was so beautiful. The people who catered the event were fantastic. We thought that having only one bar would be an issue, but the bartender kept everything moving smoothly, the caterers were friendly, and always right there when you needed them. Our events coordinator always got back to us quickly. Our only problems we had all night were an abundance of dirty glasses, and tables collapsing due to not being locked into place..and having to redecorate them after they did collapse..thankfully before guests arrived. But those things seem pretty small in the whole picture of the day. We are happy with the venue and grateful to have somewhere so beautiful to get married in when options are limited in the winter months.

We had our reception in Blackberry hall, and it was absolutely beautiful! The staff was very helpful in the entire process of planning our wedding. They gave us our hotel room for free the night after the wedding, which was a surprise to us when we went to check out! The only issue is that the staff didn't set up enough tables - there was one missing. So, all the guests that had table "number 18" didn't have a place to go and had to track down a staff member to get an additional table set up.

We recently had our wedding at Edgefield. We did the ceremony outside at the administrators house then a cocktail hour. The reception was in the attic. It was a wonderful venue and all our of guests thought it was amazing. We worked with two coordinators, both extremely helpful and responsive to all our questions throughout the process. The day off everything went extremely well in regards to the ceremony and reception. The cocktail hour was my only complaint. They only had one person serving the bar and were making mojitos from scratch, which meant it took almost the whole hour for some guests to get even one drink. Also didn’t have anyone watching the food and so when it ran low we had to find someone to ask if there was more and to restock it, which then didn’t happen until almost the end of the cocktail hr and I felt like a lot of the food was wasted.

All the food was amazing!

The administrator house that you had to rent along with the yard worked out really well. We put most of our wedding party in there and some close friends. It was also a perfect space for bride and bridesmaids to get ready with plenty of room for hair and makeup and then getting ready pictures. The groom and groomsmen got ready in the hotel

Our ceremony and reception took place in the Amphitheater, which is an outside venue close to the hotel. We were impressed with how knowledgeable the event planner was and how helpful she was in answering any of my questions since I was planning the wedding myself. The food was great, we got tons of compliments on the food and the wait staff. The waitstaff even complimented us on how great our wedding was and how nice all the guests were! Our only complaints were that for the bar you could actually get cheaper and larger drinks by walking inside the hotel and to any of the many bars they have open. The second was that the hotel itself was very noisy and even on the third floor (the honeymoon suite) my husband and I were awoken numerous times to the people next door or a loud shouting match in the front of the hotel. Great place to hold a wedding, but not to stay (which is a requirement of booking with them). Also, they are filled up at least a year in advance for all 4 - 5 of their wedding spaces.
