The booking checklist
- Set your guest count and per-guest budget — most Portland venues fail one of these two filters instantly.
- Pick 3 candidate dates spread across peak and off-peak weekends.
- Email 8–10 venues with an identical brief. Compare response time and clarity — that's your future planning experience.
- Tour your top 3 on the same weekend; memory fades fast.
- Confirm what's included: tables, linens, sound, parking, security, taxes, gratuity. The "all-in" number is rarely all-in.
