Portland’s newest venue, The Woods, is located in historic Sellwood in a former funeral parlor. The classic Mission-style building, built circa 1929, served the community for years as a place to honor and venerate those who have passed on. Renovations have breathed new life into the space, transforming it into a mid-size, comfortable and reverent venue to celebrate the start of a marriage.

The hardwood floors, chandeliers and spacious elegance evoke the lobby of a Western hotel, reborn as a music hall and art nouveau lounge that is light and bright and a perfect setting for a Wedding.

The 3000 square foot venue houses a beautiful chapel area with hardwood floors for the ceremony, as well as several smaller lounges and outdoor seating, including a covered smoking salon.

We can also provide an Officiant if you wish, and we have our own prize-winning "in-house" Cake Designer who makes cakes that not only look good, but also taste delicious!

You can bring your own caterer, or we'll be happy to suggest people that we have had success working with in the past, and we have two kitchens available for you to use.

We have all it takes for any kind of music requirements, including the ability to suggest musicians if you would like to incorporate live music into your event.

The atmosphere is part club-house, part secret society. Patrons will feel they have stumbled upon another world: candle-lit, eccentric yet stately.

The Woods faces Milwaukie Avenue in downtown Sellwood, which is served by bus line 70, and is easily accessible from anywhere in Portland.

Please call early to ensure that you get the date you want!
