Dining/Bars

Ranch Pizza / Baerlic Brewing Co

Amazing pan pizza located inside Baerlic Brewery in SE Portland

Great Notion

If you've always wondered how a blueberry muffin tastes in beer form, this is the brewery. There are two different Portland locations: we recommend Alberta.

Loyal Legion

Chris' top choice of beer bars--they only serve local and they have 100 beers on draft. Get a sampler!

North45

Great outdoor patio, a place we have frequented before many a Timber/Thorns game. Amazing neighborhood.

Palomar

Cuban-influence bar and restaurant. Rooftop views, great Caribbean cocktails

Pope House Bourbon Lounge

The site our of very first date. Craftsman house converted into a cocktail bar. Sit on the patio for the best atmosphere.

Jackie's

A great place to catch a game. Stadium seating and TVs everywhere. Great bar food, beautiful outdoor space. 

Ken's Bakery

Looking for great baked goods? Look no further than Kens for bread, croissants, cookies and more

Lulu

Amazing cocktail bar with amazing bartenders

Radio Room

One of our favorite spots on Alberta, a neighborhood with tons of other cool bars and restaurants. 

Apizza Scholls

New Haven style pizza at this SE spot. It sells out every day, so get there early if you plan to walk-in! 

Hey Love

A great cocktail spot with cool vibes!

¿Por Que No?

Our favorite taco shop in Portland. The line is deceptively long but moves quick and is well worth the wait

Breakside Brewery

One of Portland's best, they always have a wide selection of beers on tap with great spaces to sit both inside and out!

Revolution Hall

An old high school converted into an amazing rooftop bar! Great views of the city.

Olympia Provisions

The best charcuterie the city has to offer! We recommend the Spanish Board or the Italian Board but you can't go wrong.

Victoria Bar

The inspiration for one of our wedding cocktails comes straight from here! Great cocktails, great ambiance. 

Things to Do

Council Crest

Not only the place Katie and Chris got engaged, but an amazing park with incredible views of Mt. St. Helens, Mt. Hood and on a perfectly clear day, Mt. Rainier

Multnomah Falls

Interested in a half-day trip? About an hour from Portland, you will not beat the views of the tallest waterfall in Oregon. Picture-worthy!

Hood River

Day-Trip: the world capital for kite surfing, grab a beer at Ferment Brewing Company and watch hundreds of people kite surf on the Columbia River. Travel a bit further to the Fruit Loop: great wineries, berry picking and more! 

Astoria

The northwestern-most part of Oregon, this ocean town has a great brewery (Fort George), amazing fish and chips (Bowpicker), and one of the best views of the ocean and Coastal Range (the Astoria Column)

Rose Garden - Washington Park

The International Rose Test Garden has more than 10,000 rose bushes, and they will be in bloom while you're here. Take a walk around the park and get a true feel for the Pacific Northwest.

Forest Park

One of the largest urban forests in the US, there are more than 80 miles of hiking trails all within city limits. We recommend a hike that includes Pittock Mansion, accessible from the Wildwood Trail.

Cathedral Park

Located under the famous Saint John's Bridge, this is a famous picture opportunity in Portland. Check out some of the cool bars and restaurants in Saint John's after!

Portland Saturday Market

Looking for something to do before the wedding? Check out the Portland Saturday Market on the waterfront: the largest continuously operating open-air arts and craft market in the US.

Wine Country

Welcome to the Pinot Noir capital of the world. There are hundreds of wineries in the Willamette Valley. Some of our favorites include Ponzi, Hawks View, Erath, Willa Kenzie and Stoller.
