Free Copy for Your Wedding Website on What to Do in Portland, Oregon

If you’re planning a wedding in Portland, Oregon, and you want to give you out-of-town wedding guests ideas on what to do while they’re in town, you’ve come to the right spot. Here’s some boilerplate that I’ve collected as a professional wedding planner. Use this to get the juices flowing and, of course, customize at will. 

One gentle reminder: Your guests can google, too, so if sharing these ideas just isn’t in the cards, skip it. You’ve got plenty of other things to do when planning a wedding (and this gallery of free wedding planning resources may be of use).

Things to do while visiting Portland, Oregon, for a wedding

Want a gut check from a professional planner? Here’s what people have to say about renting my Virgo wedding planner brain for an hour.

  • Portland is known for its delicious food. We’ve listed some of our favorites below: [include two to five of your favorite restaurants as well as any of the better-known Portland restaurants that you want to promote]

  • Multnomah Falls day trip: This iconic waterfall is a 30- to 45-minute drive outside of Portland. Be sure to read about the required timed use permit, if you go (additional details here, too). We also recommend the lesser-known but equally stunning Latourell Falls.

  • Hood River day trip: We love to drive out to Hood River, go on a hike in the Gorge, grab lunch in town, and check out the local shops. Expect a drive of between 60 and 90 minutes.

  • Don’t forget to include places that have meaning to you and your partner(s) even if/particularly if they’re perhaps not what folks think of when they think of Portland.
