Emily was a great host and had everything ready for us when we arrived. The space was clean and as described, and the bright and inviting space lent itself well to photos. Coffee and tea throughout the event was a lovely addition. Would recommend!

Jack's bar is vibrant and has an AMAZING selection of local wines. He is such a great accommodating host! Our business held our holiday party there and all my employees complimented on how much fun they had and how much they liked the vibe there.

We hosted an anniversary party for 22 people at this venue. It is a beautiful space, and while we could have accommodated more people it fit our smaller group perfectly. There was plenty of space to mingle, a perfect setup for dining at the long table in the center plus 4 round tops, and even a great spot for dancing. Great sound system and DJ setup but we used our own playlist. Nice dimmable lighting that can be programmed (color, effects). Wonderful selection of wine plus beer options. Our friends loved it and we can’t wait to come back!

Find Graduation Party venues in Portland, OR

Portland, Oregon, is one of the nation's most bikeable cities. Over 350 miles of bike lanes run throughout town. The Willamette Valley city is also home to Matt Groening, the creator of the wildly famous animated sitcom The Simpsons. It's also where you'll find the Porsche Studio, an exciting place for any car enthusiast to visit.

There's more to the city named from a coin toss, thanks to a decision made by business partners Francis Pettygrove and Asa Lovejoy in 1845 to choose a name for their new settlement. Portland's hospitality and breathtaking scenery make it an excellent backdrop for a corporate event, business team-building retreat, holiday party, or graduation party.

Grad nights are a great time to bid farewell to school life and friends, and Portland is the perfect venue for your next event. Whether it's high school kids or a college-age crowd (or even adults), commemorating the time spent to graduate deserves a party. Browse our 71 graduation party venues in Portland to be inspired and get started.

Pros and Cons of Graduation Parties in Portland

Yes, Portland has an exclusive Porsche studio, but beer lovers will appreciate the roots of its nickname, "Beervana." The city has more microbreweries than most cities worldwide, and the facilities brew using barley and the Willamette Valley hops, among other local ingredients. This is just one of the icebreakers the city provides, and there are more ways it can benefit your event. Knowing the challenges is also helpful.

Advantages

  • Beervana has a fantastic culinary scene, and local restaurants outdo themselves, serving the most delicious dishes. Most dining spots also offer event catering services.

  • There's beauty around the city, and paired with perfect weather, you should consider renting an outdoor graduation space in Portland.

  • Portland has lively neighborhoods and diverse communities. You are guaranteed to find a graduation party space somewhere in town with a vibe that matches your event.

Disadvantages

  • Rush hour traffic can cause unplanned delays, so remember this when considering graduation locations around Portland.

  • Rainy winters can also bring snowstorms, which can shut down the city. Therefore, cover your booking with Giggster's optional cancellation protection plan.

  • Portland is pricey, but Giggster is here to help you locate budget-friendly graduation venues around town.

The Best Graduation Party Venues in Portland

Giggster can help you find graduation party venues in Portland with all the facilities and amenities to host a memorable celebration. Perhaps the only challenge would be figuring out if you should book an indoor pool location, a laser tag arcade, or an upscale restaurant. Our recommendations for the best party venues for different event types should help you pick the best spot.

  • Vintage Farms – Grand Gatherings. A farm setting is the best place to host many guests for a rustic-themed gathering. The scenic landscapes provide a retreat from the daily hustle and bustle, and the open-air space can accommodate a stage, a lineup of performances, and food trucks.

  • Mansions – Pool Parties. Swim or relax by the pool to celebrate the completion of your school years. This is the best choice for a small group that wants to unwind in a relaxed setting. It's a plus if the home accommodates overnight stays.

  • Lofts – Intimate Gatherings. Do you have a handful of guests? Rent a loft studio for a laid-back, stylish bash. Spend the night sipping on wine and reminiscing about the great memories from your college years.

  • Bars – Graduation Toasts. Do beer pong, trivia, and other classic bar games sound fun? Book a bar and serve the best bar snacks, craft beer, and mixers with enjoyable music playing in the background.

  • Hotel Ballrooms – Graduation Dinners. Book a hotel ballroom for your sit-down dinner. The venue can accommodate a sizeable guest list, has a dance floor, and has a stage.

How to Plan Your Graduation Party in Portland

Finding the best space from our website's list of graduation party venues prepares you for the next step in the planning process. Your gathering will be a huge success if you stay on top of all the details, and there will be no surprises to worry about. Use these suggestions to plan an outstanding graduation party and give your guests an unforgettable experience.

Accommodate Everyone – Book a venue suitable for everyone on the guest list, including kids, parents, and friends. Decide whether kids are invited or if it's a friends-only event with a few adult chaperones to help define the party.

Decorate the Venue – When everyone enters, the venue should scream "party." Even if it's an indoor pool, decorate it to create a fun environment. Include personalized centerpieces and other touches on the tables.

Create a DIY Wine Corner – Whether you are getting catering or not, for an adult party, set up a DIY wine-making station so that every person can top up at leisure. It also allows guests to move around and prepare custom beverages.

Schedule Activities to Suit the Age – If available, play golf simulators and other arcade games or plan classic bar games. Invite a professional to teach guests about wine pairings or a bartender to lead a cocktail-making class.

Saving Money on Your Graduation Party in Portland

Planning a pool party, private dining event, or night-long celebration will cost you a decent amount. Giggster can help you locate affordable graduation party venues, the first way to keep your event budget-friendly. Here are more tips to help you stay on budget and plan an epic grad event.

Can you book the venue in advance?

When choosing a venue and different vendors, negotiate rates and ask for discounts. Most venues offer special rates for early bookings and group bookings. You'll be amazed to learn that you can get excellent prices and save money by asking about available offers!

Invite friends and family.

A small guest list allows you to book a restaurant's private dining room instead of the entire venue, which is usually costlier. If you host a handful of people, you can spend less on your menu and bar tab. Ask for RSVPs when sending out invites so that you have a solid guest count for planning all the other details.

Choose an all-inclusive rental package.

If the venues bundle the space, catering, entertainment, and other event services as part of the rental cost, you may save. Such an all-inclusive package will save you money and time, given that you won't have to search for different service providers to fill the roles.
