We had our wedding reception here in August and everything went really smooth. The venue is very…read moreunique with a really nice outdoor patio in the back. The air conditioning was working well. The sound system also was very good. Rahel and her husband were very helpful. She helped us get a bartender who we really liked as well. The reception went really well and everyone had a blast. The outside was also very nice with plenty of space for guests to relax and children to play. Compared to the other venues we looked at it was above and beyond. Also, there are virtually no neighbors so there's no need to worry about loud music and there's a ton of parking. It's only 20 minutes from downtown Portland and Vancouver so quite convenient as far as location goes as well.

We got married at Castaway in September of 2023 and we LOVED having our wedding here. It was…read moreactually the only venue we toured because we thought it was perfect the moment we saw it. The space is minimal and industrial which is what we liked. The plants provided by the venue bring the space to life so well. Honestly, you need minimal decorations for it to be wedding ready. Having the outdoor space for cocktail hour, food trucks, beer pong, etc. was incredible. We had about 175 guests, so we really enjoyed the flow and space for our guests to get fresh air if needed. The Castaway team was helpful, responsive, and so great to work with! Highly recommend for weddings, events, etc. Thank you Castaway team!

Here recently for a sponsored event. Don't know who the bar providers were but I believe the food…read morewas overseen but someone from the Ritz? Nice venue, possibly a bit overdone for audio - volume was earsplitting at times - but video and audio both were well covered. Wifi would have been a nice touch, possible that that's more a choice from the event sponsor than the venue. And parking is a bit wonky but not unacceptable.

Beautiful venue! Horribly shady owners. Bit late on my review, but my now wife and I were set to…read moreget married here back in 2020. A few months before the set date came the pandemic and the venue shut down for a while, unfortunately unable to fulfill our scheduled day. Long story short, the owners unnecessarily had a lawyer tell us we would not receive the deposit back for the day (not that we had asked). So just warning anyone considering this place, the owners will turn real shady on you if something doesn't go quite right.

My cousin had an outdoor wedding here in 2010/11, if not mistaken, great place. So it had been…read moreyears since I'd been. This past Sunday, posting this, Festa Italiana held their annual event that had been halted a few years, but if not mistaken it had been here the year prior? Can't remember. It definitely wasn't anything to be compared to the events that were held at Pioneer Courthouse Square back in the old days before Covid hit... But given that it's been a few years since they've held the event and then a lot of the people who helped out before, catering, musicians, etc. weren't able to help or make it this year we must take that into consideration. It was an experiment so to say being here at the lodge to see how it works and of course after a trial the next year always becomes better and better as it goes on. He gave it an Italian outdoorsy feel.

This is the perfect venue for hosting a small party. The room is tastefully decorated. We hosted…read moreour daughter's baby shower there and loved it. 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.

They had the ceremony under the shade of a huge, beautiful tree. The "coordinator" had great control over the entire event from cuing every person, including the participants for the ceremony, DJ, caterers, etc. and that made everything seamless. She knew exactly what the bride and groom had wanted, in all aspects. Everything, everywhere was clean and tidy and overall it was such a phenomenal wedding. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Ainsworth House & Gardens for any event.

The help we received from Elizabeth, our assigned planner was EXCEPTIONAL. All I can say about Elizabeth is to trust the expert! She was so good at "herding cats" keeping things on task and making sure we (bride and groom) were always taken care of. They want your vision to come true and bend over backward to make it happen. You first think maybe the pricing is a bit much, but believe me, when you add up all that's included and the care you receive, it's a bargain, seriously! I would recommend the place to anyone holding a special event, it's gorgeous! Thank you, Team Ainsworth!!!!

It is rare to find a place that brings together such beauty, great service, and a warm welcoming atmosphere. Gray Gables gave us the wedding day we always hoped for.
