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!

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.

Maybe one of my favorite buildings in Portland??…read more This building is a historic 1895 brick and timber warehouse. It was the first Gold LEED-certified historic renovation in the US. The style is industrial, that comes across charming. They host all sorts of conferences, weddings, and other events. It's surprising to me their commercial spaces are not fully rented - besides the pizza shop on the first floor which has been there for years, there's another restaurant type space that's been available for years. There's also some available office space. Over the years I have visited for various events, or maybe a slice of pizza from Hot Lips. The rooftop is obviously a standout here - it's got incredible views of the Pearl district.

The women's bathroom also had hygiene supplies which I thought was cool. We rented the Billy Frank Jr. conference room and another room on the second floor, and we were able to customize the space to fit our needs. The space we rented comfortably fit around 60 people. Eco Trust has everything you could need and more. Po'Sines is near, there is a Hot Lips Pizza downstairs, and I would highly recommend this space for your next event.

The service was top notch. I had 2 interactions (a lady up front and a gentleman upstairs) that were beyond friendly, helpful and pleasant to talk to. I feel like I got to see cool art, learn about Porsche, experience driving and just vibe and talk to some cool employees. My son seemed quiet and unimpressed then at the end he got to see some of the cars where he could get in. Once we left he talked about it the whole way home and started researching the Porsche and its history. I know the exhibit was temporary but I have a feeling we will go back in some capacity.

I've seen other reviews both here and on google and apparently it's an on-going problem. I live high up in my building a block away from this place and my apartment windows are shaking the music is so loud. I've made multiple noise complaints and every time I ask what's going on, the officers say "they turn down the music, wait for us to leave, and then turn it back up." Completely disrespectful to the residential buildings around them. This is like the 2nd or 3rd time I've been forced to go to bed past 1.30 AM because of Pure Space. I get that it's an event space and whatever but maybe soundproof your building better so this doesn't happen? Like what is even wrong with management.

I had my wedding reception at The De Soto in August of 2010. Arrangements and catering for this…read morevenue are through The Art of Catering. I have reviewed them (5 stars) separately. This review is strictly on the De Soto venue itself. It was a lovely space. Large enough for our 100 guests plus a 4-person gypsy jazz band and a dancing area. The terrace has a wood deck. There are trellis' and plants in big pots. White chairs and sunbrellas are available for use. The terrace was looking good already and then was transformed into a magical place by my florist, Adria Sparhawk of Lavish. The rooftop is about 4 floors up. It has a nice view of trees in the north park blocks as well as some of downtown Portland. Looking to the west, you have to look over AC equipment on the roof in order to see the trees. Adria came up with a great solution to that eyesore - she made gates out of willow and decorated them with vines and ribbon and placed these along the western railing. Problem solved! We had temps in the 90s. The roof was very hot with the sun beating down until it set over the west hills around 7 pm. After that, the temperature was perfect. If it is going to be a hot day, I recommend renting tents to add shade. We rented one 20x20 foot tent to cover the eldest and youngest. It looked fine and we could have used an additional one. There is no indoor space. Keep that in mind. The bathrooms are on the bottom floor so your guests will be up and down the elevator but that didn't seem to be a problem for anyone. The roof is wheelchair accessible. The entrance to the rooftop is on a pleasant block that has nice character. I'm taking a star off because of the AC eyesore, lack of indoor space and location of the bathrooms. Of all the rooftops and outdoor spaces I explored in Portland proper, the De Soto was the only one that met all my requirements. Still, I give 5 stars only if it's perfect!

We were a party of about 15 and we understand big parties can be overwhelming however, we were all waiting patiently to order. A few of us had waters and sodas to finish and were outside waiting to finish these beverages before entering. We were met with aggressiveness and hostility. We were told we couldn't be on the sidewalk outside before entering with these other drinks in hand. While being encountered the water bottles they tried to forcibly remove them, not cool. It was a cute spot and we were super excited to try it but with the instant negativity and hostility we encountered we all decided to leave. Wouldn't recommend.
