Everyone I dealt with answered my questions and promptly communicated with me throughout the process. We were able to visit the venue twice to determine what we needed. They are flexible as far as who we hired to do the catering and bar service. They have a freight elevator and a wagon to help transport items. I appreciated having the option of clean up services for an additional fee. I also used their dishes and they are beautiful. The cost for this venue is extremely affordable for such a classy place. My daughter walked in and said it felt like she was in a dream! Thank you again for providing such a beautiful venue.

Green Anchors Studios is a small business incubator built on a brownfield down by the river in…read moreshipping containers. Colonies like this are found in Oakland and in the first cyberpunk novel written in 1984, Neuromancer. In that story, the protagonist, a brilliant hacker, lives in a shipping container with electricity and an Internet connection, not much else. This is that. With the US-China trade imbalance, shipping containers are accumulating in West Coast ports, like Portland. It is not economic to ship them back empty. So shipping containers are being used to house almost a dozen small businesses at Green Anchors Studios. The Willamette River, in its depths and shores, is home to many polluted soils and sediments. In the way back, the solution to pollution was dilution, and the rivers and seemingly infinite oceans and their shores became home to toxic materials. A brownfield is a nice name for a polluted piece of land that costs more to clean up than its value. So it sits. Green Anchors firmly occupies a brownfield they make good. Or at least gooder. Portland is home to many small and startup businesses. Green Anchors includes a solar company, an indoor grower of salad greens, a group of tiny home builders, firewood cutters, several metal fabricators, a grower of mushrooms for restaurants, a vintage boat rebuilder, a sculptor and a docked steamboat with a radio station. Very Portland. Very sustainable. The land is spacious, some of the businesses are close to one another and others scattered. There is room for more. The land is not paved, it's covered with wood chips, it will likely be a bit muddy in rainy season. They have a City water supply. Some businesses have built canopies spanning the space between containers to make their own Drop City studios. It's perfect for noisy and messy small businesses. It is zoned heavy industry. There is no living at the site. The businesses are friends and friends with the DIY community in St Johns. They sometimes have open houses. Green Anchors Studios is a hive of small businesses under the St Johns bridge doing something productive with a piece of land that we forgot to take care of. If you have a business that can fit in a shipping container or a few, talk to them!
