Things To Do

Welcome to Portland! While many of our guests live here, we are so excited to show the city to our Michigan family and SoCal pals. This is extra special as we'll be calling Portland home in the next few years. The ceremony and reception will be in Rood Bridge Park in Hillsboro, but that's not far from Portland proper, if you'd like to stay in lovely downtown. Portland is very walkable with robust public transport for getting around. Below you'll find some of our favorite spots from a Portland trip we took a while back and Tori's college years. There are a million more things to do, see, and eat, but these suggestions will get you in the right area for city exploring. As the day approaches, we'll be updating this page with any events we hope to see you at! We can't wait to see our favorite people in our favorite place.
