My new wife Brandi and I LOVED Union Pine! It was a beautiful venue, and it had all the amenities we needed for the big day. Jess the venue manager was a pleasure to work with. We did the weekend package option for the venue and had the venue from Friday till Sunday. This was perfect for us because it allowed us to do the wedding rehearsal dinner at the same venue as the wedding. This helped us out a lot because we were planning this wedding from out of state. We visited a few venues in Portland, and this was by far the most breathtaking! Our out of state guests loved visiting Portland and enjoyed the venue's location to everything downtown.

Soizic was so friendly and full of great ideas and helped us iron out every little detail as well as suggesting menu ideas for what we were specifically looking for. Our day went off without a single issue thanks to hunt and gather and their team. Multiple guests (including the picky eaters) mentioned it was the best food they’d had at a wedding.
