One of our favorite things about Portland is how close we are to nature, and in our venue you don't even have to leave the city to see it! Love how Anthony and Kim used the Annex's videomapping capability to take their reception on a Columbia Gorge hike... from the comfort of a seated dinner!​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Oregon Bride Magazine Best of 2024 voting closes this Friday, February 2nd! Go to https://oregonweddingday.com/OWD-Best-of-2024-Voting to vote The Loft at 8th Avenue for Best Urban Venue!
