Castaway Portland
Castaway Portland consists of nearly 10,000 square feet of wide-open space. The restored warehouse features original wrap-around steel sash pane windows and 14' ceilings with exposed wood beams. A complete ground up restoration added polished concrete floors, centralized heating and cooling, an executive office area, a full catering kitchen, and outdoor space options. It’s the perfect blank slate for your dream wedding and is one of Portland’s most awarded venues.

Our wedding at Castaway was amazing. Emily walked us through creating our floor plan and worked with our caterer to flip the space during the cocktail hour. The space is beautiful, there is abundant parking, and there are so many rentals that come with the space. When we werelooking for venues, so many open event spaces like Castaway added $$ for every little thing. Castaway charges for obvious stuff like adding the patio, adding the garden, etc, but for the most part what you see is what you get when you reserve Castaway. The cafe lights that hang in the building are so beautiful and provide just enough light for a great evening wedding ambience. The outdoor patio was a hit with my guests. It was great to be able to step outside to cool off after dancing. There's almost no end to the things you could do to customize the Castaway space, but we left it pretty bare. So happy we decided to get married at Castaway--it was simply perfect. – Bride Emily K
I can’t say enough about the Castaway and working with Emily Moore. We had our wedding at Castaway about a month ago and it was perfect in every way. Emily was super flexible throughout the year that we were engaged regarding us meeting up with her, checking out the space for the 5th time or asking any questions. She was super helpful with recommendations, layout, and misc questions that come about. She was prompt with responses to emails and I felt that she was honest in every way (which I definitely didn’t get from every venue we looked at). The Castaway in itself is beautiful, industrial, parking is pretty easy, nice that it’s in the Pearl and close to downtown and hotels. You can dress it down or up and either way is elegant. A huge bonus for us was the rental included tables and chairs, which accommodated our wedding of around 200 people. Very pleased with our decision and would recommend it to anyone. – Bride Charlotte P
This venue was everything I was looking for plus more! The staff was so easy to work with, they have an excellent vendor list, and tables and chairs were included in the rental fee (FYI-if you haven't started researching rental costs, this is one of the biggest). We had a ton of out of town guests, so this location was really fun for those people who were seeing Portland for the first time. Photos were also great with a mix of the Pearl District, Industrial, and the bridges in the background. I would highly recommend this venue! – Bride Natalie O
