PDX Park Events
Every magical park wedding needs flawless logistics
Getting married in one of Portland’s beautiful parks can be magical, but it comes with its own set of rules, permits, and logistics. That’s where we come in. Our PDX Park Events service takes the stress off your shoulders by handling the details that most couples don’t even realize they need to think about.
We’ll guide you through the permit, insurance, and alcohol application process, coordinate directly with Portland Parks & Recreation, and make sure everything runs smoothly with your vendors. From picking up and returning restroom keys to arranging extra facilities, setting up signage to keep your celebration private, and ensuring deliveries and rentals are handled properly, we cover the details so you don’t have to.
On your wedding day, we’ll oversee everything: coordinating with park staff and vendors, managing setup and teardown, handling equipment rentals and electricity backups, and making sure the park is returned to its original condition afterward. You’ll be free to focus on your vows and your guests, knowing every logistical detail is taken care of.
