Band:

Duo con Brio

Portland, OR, USA

"Corey Averill and Duo con Brio were amazing! They were so easy to work with, they made planning a dream! They even went to the trouble to arrange two pieces specifically for my husband and I. After meeting with us they said that they felt that the two songs represented us and our feeling for each other. when I heard them I could not have agreed more, we used them for our Processional and our Recessional. It was perfect and deeply moving. I loved their attention to detail and the way they personalized the music for our ceremony just for us!"

Coordinator:

Holly Jarvis

Portland, OR, USA

"Holly did an absolutely amazing job! There were a few glitches on the day of our ceremony, but thanks to her I never knew a thing and everything was taken care of without me having to even think about it! I would recommend Holly without reservations!"

"Jordan Gladow, of Blum - Design in Flowers, did an oustanding job on the floral and candle displays for our wedding. She managed to turn our reception location into a magical space filled with candles and flowers. It was breathtaking!

Photographer:

Jessica Hill Photography

Portland, OR, USA

"Jessica did the most fabulous job on our pictures! I loved all of her work that I had seen on her website and she did an amazing job on our engagement pictures, but none of this prepared me for how devastatingly gorgeous our wedding pictures were! Jessica has been nothing short of a dream to work with. She has unbelievable vision and creativity. I love the work she did on our pictures so much that I can't help myself from staring at them all day everyday! I can guarantee no one will ever regret hiring her to document any event in their lives, you would be crazy not too! We LOVE, LOVE, LOVE Jessica!"

Wedding Day Beauty Vendor:

Katherine Ross

Portland, OR, USA

"Katherine did a fabulous job on my make-up for both my wedding and my engagement pictures. Everything looked very natural but still looked flawless on film, the mark of a true professional! I know that this flawless look might not be too hard for a bride in her 20s to achieve, but when you are in your 30s a make-up artist as talented as Katherine can work miracles!"

Olea Restaurant

1338 NW Hoyt St
Portland, OR, United States

"Richard Glass, the owner of Olea restaurant, and his staff were amazing! We are hard-core foodies and the food was beyond even my expectations! Chef Patrick did an outstanding job and I couldn't be happeir with our choice of venues. All of our guest are still raving about the delectable meal that we were served. My only complaint with Olea would be that it was often difficult to get in touch with the management to discuss details prior to the wedding. However, if you are persistent this small detail is easily overcome. Anyways, the quality of the food vastly overcomes any shortcomings they may have had in the communication department!"

Attractions:

Willamette River Walk - Attractions -

Willamette River Walk

"A great way to see Portland and many of our beautiful bridges is to do the River Walk. This paved walkway is a 2.5 mile circuit that covers both the East and West banks of the Willamette River in the downtown core between the Hawthorne and the Steele Bridges. Start your walk at the east end of Tom McCall Waterfront Park near the Riverplace Marina where Anonymous & Anonymous start their paddling practices. From here you can follow the paved walkway North through Tom McCall Waterfront Park to the Steele Bridge. Cross the Willamette River to the East Bank Esplanade using the pedestrian deck of the Steele Bridge. Then follow the Eastbank Esplanade south along the east side of the river to the Hawthorne Bridge where you can cross back to the west side of the river and return to your starting point. This walkway can be accessed from many other points and the walk can be shortened by crossing over any of the other bridges that you might pass."

Rehearsal Dinner Venue:

Fenouil Restaurant

900 NW 11th Avenue
Portland, Oregon 97211, United States

"We held our rehearsal brunch at Fenouil restaurant and it was amazing! Janey was so helpful throughout the entire planning process. She helped to make this event stress-free and beautiful. The restaurant is stunning and the food was outstanding! We go back every Sunday now for brunch because we love everything on their menu and would eat it all everytime if we could!"
