Coopers Hall

Lovely spot for wines served from taps instead of from bottles. It's a nice, airy, well lit space, with a small food menu designed to go well with wine. The atmosphere is enhanced by well placed speakers (Paradigms - Atoms, I think) playing a pleasant playlist at a level appropriate for the room. Excellent service capped off the visit. I'll be recommending this place in person as well, and look forward to coming back myself

My wife and just got married here and would recommend to anyone looking for an events venue. The food was amazing and we received plenty of compliments on the menu. Would recommend the cauliflower appetizer, steelhead salmon entree, and roasted mixed veggies side. Also the venue is incredibly beautiful and required very little outside decorations. It felt like an intimate Thanksgiving dinner at Hogwarts. Lastly the staff were incredibly well organized and made our day stress free.

There are five star reviews for Coopers Hall sort of … everywhere, but I don’t know that all of them really show the level of professionalism, detail, and passion for their work that these folks exude. Not only would I have my wedding here again, but I am also looking for any excuse in the world to have another large event just so I can host it here (ideas welcome) ;-). We initially spoke with Shannan and then largely worked with Maegan throughout. The day of our wedding, it seemed like Sam ran the show. Sidenote: my friends who work in the industry couldn’t say enough about Sam’s personality and ability. That said, we met and chatted with, I’m guessing, all of the behind-the-scenes staff at Coopers. These people do SO MANY weddings and other events, but their work with us felt unique and absolutely genuine. They weren’t over-the-top, trying to show they care; they clearly just take pride in what they do, and care about human beings and celebrations in general. They’re all people you’d want to be friends with. This was priceless when planning a wedding, because stress amps up quickly, and they were not only never part of that stress, but a quick email to them, and they would dissipate any anxiety. I think of the time I messaged Maegan about family worries, and she essentially said, ‘We. Got. You.’ Another example is my aunt, who has a brain injury and a service dog, and they went out of their way to be welcoming and supportive of her and of him. I’m talking like…I didn’t want my alcoholic relatives to accidentally be served wine at a WINERY (I know) and they kept an eye out for me, without hesitation! Countless guests have told me that this was the very best food they’ve ever had at a wedding. One lovely thing Coopers does is they give you a tasting of the menu before the wedding, and it’s a beautiful event itself, with other couples, wine, and lots of food. It’s more a banquet than a tasting, and you get to choose your menu from that. The chef (Keith) even introduces himself and walks around, answering any questions you might have. They have special kids meals if you want, and all the picky eaters in our family DEVOURED them. They do batched specialty cocktails, much to the delight of all. Another thing. The SECOND our guests arrived, drinks were out, and apps were passed. The SECOND we needed guests to be seated, they were magically there. We (bride and groom) received our food almost immediately, so we could try to eat. Everyone had salad and bread right away. There were absolutely no mishaps the entire night. There wasn’t a sound glitch, a food glitch, a timing glitch, or a moment that the staff wasn’t top-rate. (We got to go to a three Michelin star restaurant on our honeymoon and honestly…Coopers staff would fit right in). A couple months later, and I’m still hearing from guests that this was the best wedding they’d ever been to, and we have Coopers Hall to thank for it. I’d encourage anyone to book them, unless it’s a date I want in the future, in which case…um…check out one of Portland’s other, less awesome venues, please! —— (Also posted to The Knot)

Coopers hall is literally magic! We shot a wedding here in 2018 and instantly fell in love! You'll absolutely love getting married here, its so warm and inviting and so stylish too!

A BIG thank you to the Coopers Hall team. The book launch event was one of the top three nights of my life and your team made it so special! From the planning process to the preparation of the event, I felt like I was supported every step of the way. I cannot stress how much it meant to me to have Claudia and Hannah there on the day of. As you know, the original event was scheduled for February, and due to weather, we had to postpone. It was very heartbreaking to have to reschedule the event, but the event in April surpassed all of my wishes and dreams. Please thank the team so much for everything that they did. So many of my guests said it was one of the best parties they’ve been to and the staff was so welcoming and wonderful. Kudos to you and your team!

Look no further than Coopers Hall. The venue is stunning on it's own but can be customized to whatever vision you have for your wedding day. The food is INCREDIBLE and there are so many options for any dietary restriction you can think of. It's cozy and warm and centrally located to downtown which makes travel for both in town and out of town guests a breeze. But, more importantly than all of that is the Coopers Hall wedding team. You CANNOT find a more professional, accommodating, organized, and all around welcoming group of planners. We worked with Mae and Shannan for a majority of the planning but ANYTHING we thought of they had answers for. Our wedding was a rowdy Scottish-Italian affair and it went off without a hitch. They were able to customized a traditional drink we used to make on camping trips with my family for cocktail hour, they didn't blink (and later executed with PERFECTION) when we asked if we could "ice" an entire table of wedding guests, and they even made sure my mom had the meat for her plates cooked a bit longer then the rest. We made a lot of the decor around the venue ourselves and even requested beer that was sold in Montana as another signature item and Mae worked with the distributor for us and organized the timeline for all the vendors to work with. We hosted both our ceremony and reception here and, although we were worried about 120 people being in the building during the "switch" you wouldn't have noticed. It went so smoothly! They have so many brides and even non-wedding events come through their doors but you wouldn't know it. Every couple gets exactly what they are envisioning for their big day and you feel like the attention is 100% on you. Even after the wedding was over and the bills have been paid, we still reach out to Mae because we absolutely loved working with her. Our wedding day was perfect and we've already decided to spend our anniversary in Portland every year from here on out so we can celebrate at Coopers Hall. If you are even the slightest bit interested in hosting a wedding here, please please please reach out to the team. They will hold a special place in our hearts for the rest of our lives <3

What an incredible wedding my daughter and son- in- law had at Coopers Hall in 2/2023. To begin, the wedding coordinator, Jane, was phenomenal. She was so competent, calm and kind and made it so easy for us to relax and thoroughly enjoy the day! The food was absolutely incredible as well. We had an assortment of steak and chicken with brussel sprouts, mashed potatoes and salad and every single item was mouth watering and prepared to perfection! We had the talented Mimosa Flower Co make the venue extra beautiful as well and we could not be happier how the whole day/ evening turned out!! Thank you Coopers Hall for an incredible wedding for Lauren and Stuart ❤️❤️

Coopers Hall Northeast was the perfect venue for a bridal shower. The staff was exceptional in their organization, professionalism and execution. Shout out to Amber and Coral who were instrumental in making our event a success!

We chose Coopers Hall as our wedding venue for the 'easy button' aspect. We quickly realized we did not want to be coordinating vendors for catering, the bar, rentals, along with flowers, DJ, etc etc. Coopers Hall really had the full package in our book and in a truly beautiful setting. The food was phenomenal, we're still receiving compliments from guests that it was the best wedding food they've had. We had fun selecting the menu and they went above and beyond to accommodate allergies and restrictions. The wine selection was fantastic and we loved the flexibility of the bar. Our day of coordinator with the venue, Jane, was a true angel and could not have been a bigger help with everything on the day of and leading up to the day. She was kind, responsive, and a calming presence in the chaos and stress of planning a wedding during COVID. We can't sing enough praises about Coopers Hall, the entire event was perfect!

My husband and I had our wedding reception at Coopers Hall and we are incredibly happy with how everything turned out. All of the staff is friendly and accommodating and goes above and beyond for you. Phenomenal customer support, truly a joy to work with. Food is exceptional - our guests kept telling us it was the best food they've ever had at a wedding. Amazingly good restaurant quality and delicious and innovative menu. The space itself is beautiful. Overall, we couldn't be happier with our experience at CH!
