FAQ
is the wedding really concert themed?
Yes. We met after a concert, and we started dating after a concert. Music is a core part of our story and we are excited to share that with you! We'd love your help: Dress to impress, but don't get stuck in 'traditional' wedding attire. We'd love to see statement pieces that you've been dying to wear. See 'Attire' for inspiration pictures and more details about the dress code.
will there be an open bar?
Yes!! We will have mixed drinks, beer, alcoholic slushies, and some wine selection. NA options will also be available.
what time should I be there?
Doors are at 5pm and the ceremony is at 6pm. We will be starting promptly at 6pm so please don't be late. To entice you to arrive early we are opening the bar before the ceremony.
what is parking like?
The immediate area around the venue is two hour parking until 10pm. For those who are able to walk if you head two blocks east on Morrison all street parking is free with no time restrictions. For those looking for ADA parking or surface lots in the area please see the 'parking' page.
will there be food?
Yesssssssssss! We will be providing heavy appetizers from our wonderful caterer, Artemis Foods. Our menu includes mini grilled cheese + tomato soup shooters, potstickers, mini chicken and waffles, mac and cheese bar, mushroom lemon profiteroles, and more. There will not be a formal plated dinner, but there will be plenty of food. For those who are staying late then you might be greeted with street hotdogs on your way out the door.
okay, but seriously, what should I wear?
Cocktail attire + elevated concert = mini/knee and midi cocktail dress, statement blazers, pants suits, jumpsuits. Don't scare away from sparkle, leather, fringe, or a killer boot. Lean towards luxe fabrics like silk, crepe, satins). Bonus points for bold colors or chic tailoring. Please avoid sundresses, linen, or sandals. See inspiration photos on the 'Attire' page.
...i've never been to a gay wedding and I am scared to admit that I don't know what to expect
it's the same, but better. There might be a blood sacrifice.
where should I stay in Portland?
Violet Suites PDX is closest to the venue (0.3mi). Next closest is Hotel Grand Stark (0.4mi) then followed by the Jupiter Hotel (0.5mi). All are very Portland in vibe. If you are looking for something a little bit more corporate you'll end up far from the venue but downtown PDX is just across the river with the classic roster of hotels. We're not planning on doing a room block because many of our people live in town or have folks they will be staying with in town. If you'd like to be put into contact with someone to coordinate an airbnb (or similar) let us know!
is my child(ren) invited?
No. Our venue is a bar. It is not setup for children. Similarly, our MC is a retired lesbian stripper, and her wife is our DJ. Please do not bring your children.
