McMenamins Edgefield Reviews

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.

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!

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 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.

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 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!

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!

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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!

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!

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!
