Its hard not to rate this 5 stars because we had our wedding here and it was spectacular. My only complaint is actually with Lauren, the manager. At first she was incredibly helpful and helped us coordinate day of stuff, but then, I heard from a few of my family members that she was short and rude to them while they were setting up for the reception. Also, when you book with them, you have to purchase a certain amount of wine through a local vineyard that they are partnered with. We didnt have a problem with this, even though having to order $550 worth of wine seems excessive... my big bugaboo is that Lauren forgot to bring out our wine. We had purchased some cheap back up wine, just in case ours ran out and we found out later that we had served our guests cheap wine all night when we were forced to purchase 27 bottles of wine when we signed up. We could have returned the cheap wine that wasnt opened and saved a lot of money, especially after spending $550 on wine , just to book the venue. My maid of honor tried to get in touch with Lauren to see if we could be refunded for the unopened wine that she forgot to bring out. Lauren never responded to her email. So now, we have 2 cases of wine that we had intended to share with our family and friends to celebrate our wedding. We loved the venue, its gorgeous. We had an amazing wedding day, we were just incredibly disappointed that a huge thing was missed that ended up costing us money by not being able to return the wine that we purchased as a back up. Also, the lack of response was unprofessional.

Once we saw the West End Ballroom, we knew we had found our venue! Our wedding was 10/29/2016 and you never know what the weather may be like at the end of October so we loved that everything was inside as well as that the ceremony and reception space was in the same place. The venue has a very classy elegance by itself so it doesn’t need much decoration but it is also neutral enough that you could do whatever theme/decorations you wanted in the space. Our venue coordinator Lauren was wonderful! She answered all my emails completely and in a very timely manner and always had suggestions if I was a little lost for some of our decisions. Everything turned out perfect the day of the wedding and I can’t say thank you enough!! The only downside to the venue is that it is not ADA accessible. Bonus though – we were able to rent out the parking lot across the street (the parking lot for the Portland Clinic) so that our guests did not have to worry about trying to park downtown Portland on a Saturday night.

The West End Ballroom is a beautiful, fun and inviting place to host your Wedding. Working with Lauren was awesome because she was so helpful to help us plan out a lot of the details and spacing for our big night. Whats great about this venue is that they already have a lot of the tables and chairs that you will need for your Wedding as well as a photo booth! There are so many little things that really make this place a diamond in the ruff. I couldnt have imagined my wedding anywhere else and really enjoyed working with the West End.

Great little wedding venue, worth looking into as an option, has the bonus of keeping your reception and ceremony at the same place and bullet proofing you from the rain. Its a little dark, so be aware of that, but as long as your not counting on a crisp clean video of your wedding, its a good choice

The church I attend (Church of the City) meets here on Sundays. The space is very beautiful and functional. The space is very popular for weddings and has two ballrooms, one upstairs and one on the ground floor.

Very nice venue. I attended a wedding here and it was all put together very well. Not sure how much of that is handled by the venue but it is definitely a very nice place.
