The wedding ceremony and reception are on May 23rd, 2026, at 4:30 PM in the Ecotrust Building. The address is 721 NW 9th Ave, Portland, OR 97209. Please enter the venue on the 9th Ave Street front side of the building. Please arrive at 4:00 PM so the ceremony can begin promptly and on time. The reception will end at 11:00 PM.
The vibe is Semi-Formal —think suits, cocktail dresses, jumpsuits, dressy separates, or anything that makes you feel a little dressed up and ready to party. Skip the champagne tones and feel free to wear something colorful and fun!
Please RSVP by March 1, 2026, on our wedding website.

May in Portland is usually mild and pleasantly springlike, with average highs in the low-70s and cooler evenings in the mid-50s. While the city is known for a passing shower or two, you’ll also enjoy plenty of fresh blooms and sunny moments. A light jacket or wrap is perfect.
