Abigail's Garden
Abigail's Garden (available May thru October)
Gleaming in the bright sunlight or glowing against a starlit sky, our 60' by 70' tent on the hill serves as the perfect outdoor Portland, Oregon wedding reception site. The term tent hardly does justice to this light and airy, multipurpose structure. On warm days, open the sidewalls to let a cool breeze enter off Abernethy Creek. On cooler days, close the sidewalls and let light filter in from the expansive clear windows. Either way, the neutral tones of the walls and ceiling provide a blank canvas for the colors of your reception. The tent on the hill seats 300 and has a classy black & white checkered dance floor. Just add music, food, and friends for your perfect Portland, Oregon outdoor wedding reception.

The Ballroom
The Ballroom(available year-round)
The Abernethy Ballroom has a character, charm, and practical flexibility seldom seen in other venues. An elegant marble entry greets Abernethy's guests and ushers them into a breathtaking ballroom complete with recessed ceilings, hanging chandeliers, and decorative wall sconces. In the summer pull back the drapes and flood the room with photograph enhancing light from expansive floor to ceiling windows. Want a place to catch up with friends and family? Wander out to Abernethy's intimate, floral patio. In the winter close the drapes, close out the world, and succumb to your special moment. We have the lighting to create or change the mood. Come discover why we call Abernethy Ballroom Portland's all-seasons, wedding reception center.

Abernethy Center marries beauty with functionality. The Ballroom has a 9' by 12' Screen & LCD projector, Bose Surround-Sound stereo system, wireless and handheld microphones, and staging. Utilizing our Willamette and Clackamas rooms, Abernethy Center can accommodate Portland, Oregon wedding receptions for up to 325 guests. Take the tour. Visit the bridal room and the outdoor patio. See what a little vision and a little magic can do.
