Adrianna Hill Grand Ballroom

My wedding was the best day of my life. Everything I could have imagined came true at the Adrianna Hill Grand Ballroom. From the first second I met Jessie all the way to the final day, everything was more than I could have asked for. The venue is breathtaking, the amenities it offers is endless, the food is fabulous, sound quality is awesome, it photographs great, and most importantly, the wedding coordinator, Jessie, is out of this world. I don’t know if I could have planned it all without her. If I could list every positive word in the dictionary to describe her, I would! My reception alone was 7 hours; it was a mixed-culture wedding and posed many obstacles from food, high guest count, DJ and band, special dances, traditions, and a strict timeline. Jessie and her staff worked so hard all night and went above and beyond meeting my expectations, the whole evening was flawless. It is 5 weeks post-wedding day, and there is not a day that goes by that someone doesn’t tell me that my wedding was the most beautiful and fun wedding they have ever been to, and the ambience of the Adrianna Ballroom had a lot to do with it, it’s just such a magical venue and all the staff are so friendly and extremely hard working. You couldn’t give me a million dollars to say anything negative about Adrianna Ballroom! If you are a bride or groom looking for a wedding venue in Portland, OR, don’t look anywhere else, you will find everything you need at the Adrianna Ballroom and the best added bonus is Jessie, she is absolutely AMAZING!

Where do I begin in explaining the gratitude and amazingness that the Adrianna Hill Grand ballroom and their staff has brought to my life. Initially, when beginning my venue search I had about 12 appointments booked to look at places for my special day. Adrianna Hill was my first stop! Upon walking in the ballroom the feeling of peace, love and elegance was overwhelming. Then I met Jessie...who her beauty and high energy made me feel like we had been best friends for years! She was just as excited for me and my fiance as I was! I was instantly comfortable with her and trusted her with helping me plan my wedding. Needless to say, I sat at lunch after meeting with Jessie and seeing the ballroom and we decided that there was absolutely no need to go any further, we had found our venue. I met with Jessie about a half dozen times within the year and she helped me stay focused, timely and reassured me that I was not going to lose my mind through this process. Jessie also does the day of coordinating, all of this is included in the package price! The Adrianna Hill has TONS of decor options, so really it is like one stop shopping! You don't have to rent tables, chairs, linens, dinnerware, glassware, or flatware. On top of the basics they have candles, votives, aisle runners, square mirrors, vases and cake knife and flutes that you can use as well. If all that was not enough the food is to die for! The ballroom has so many options for dinner, it is amazing! I was blown away by how much I saved and I still got my dream wedding!!! I think every bride needs an awesome team around her to make sure everything flows and that is exactly what Jessie does and her staff is nothing short of superior. When I arrived at the ballroom the day of my wedding there were snacks, champagne and a fan. I had a summer wedding and I was very nervous about sweating too much and Jessie took it upon herself to make sure that I stayed cool. There was a minor hiccup due to another vendor and before I could even say anything Jessie already had a solution and everything turned out so much better than originally planned. All in all looking back if I could, I would get married at least once a month, if and only if it was at the ballroom with Jessie & Tim. They both are great people and genuinely care about your day and making it special for you!

Review of the Adrianna Hill Grand Ballroom October 2011 In July of this year, we hosted our daughter and son-in-law’s wedding reception of 176 guests at the Adrianna Hill Grand Ballroom on S.W. Yamhill Street in downtown Portland. Even though the city works to cultivate its “Keep Portland Weird” image, there are a few places which harken back to kinder and gentler days with elegance and grace. This is the case of the Adrianna Hill Grand Ballroom. It is a magical fairy tale setting with staff to match. The formal Victorian architecture contrasts nicely with Jessie, co-owner and number one cheerleader. Her energy and perkiness seem boundless, and her attention to detail - impressive, even for a demanding mother of the bride, like me. At times, I seriously wondered if she went home each day and kicked her cat. The small crew which works under her was also professional, thorough and on task throughout the event. While the setting is stunning and Jessie and staff amazing, prepare to spend extra money on top of the contract price for items which are not included. The linens, chairs, glassware and silverware are all a bit shabby and in need of updating. With 176 guests, we rented water glasses because the venue did not have enough and Riedel wine glasses because of the quality of the existing ones. We also rented chair covers. If your guests are “foodies” or “wine snobs”, you may want to consider another venue. Tim, co-owner and chef, does the best he can with no on-site kitchen. In addition, the wine is very low end. I inquired about changing out their wine for better wine which we would bring in. Not only was Jessie unwilling to give us a credit for bringing in our own wine, but she also insisted on charging us a corking fee. The only other negative is that the ballroom is not air conditioned. Our July reception took place in 78 degree weather, and it was a bit warm inside even though the fans were running. Overall, on a five-point scale with 5 the highest, I would give the venue a 4 (a 5 on cool day), the staff a 5, the food a 3 and the wine a 2. So, if your emphasis is not on food, wine, sparkling glassware and luxurious linens, but, instead on a beautiful setting with a wedding coordinator who does not miss a beat, the Adrianna Hill Grand Ballroom is your place.

As soon as I walked into the Adrianna Hill Grand Ballroom, I fell in love. My mother and I were out touring several venues in Portland, and last minute I called to see if they had anything available. While Jessie was busy in a meeting, they were able to squeeze me in and have one of the co-owners (Tim) give us a tour. I knew it was it. I called my fiance and told him I had found our venue. When I brought him there, he also fell in love and we signed our contract just days later. Jessie made our wedding seem like it was THE ONLY wedding that mattered to her. She made our wedding day so stress free and run so smoothly. Amazing doesn't even come close. We've only been married since June 26th, 2011 and already we have received TONS of compliments on how beautiful our venue was. I felt like Cinderalla at her Ball!!!

Jessie at the Adrianna Hill Grand Ballroom is just a true treat to work with while planning your special day! The ballroom itself is just gorgeous and such a perfect atmosphere to celebrate in with family and friends! It is a bit costly, but so worth it as you will be taken care of through the whole process. Jessie really does make it all so easy and enjoyable! We have received many many compliments on how beautiful the reception space was that night. We wish every other couple a night like ours at the Adrianna...just magical.

The Adrianna Hill Grand Ballroom is an absolute treasure. This was the last venue we viewed for our wedding and we knew immediately it was the one as soon as we spoke with Jessie. The venue is gorgeous and will make your wedding look great without having to worry about spendy or extensive decorations. The pricing structure is pretty set, save for a few discounts depending on when your date is and some other things. But having Jessie be there as your planner, organize all your other vendors, make sure everything is thought of and taken care of, and having her help you run rehearsal and get you through the day? You can't beat that. Everything was perfect for our day and it was all thanks to Jessie and her amazing staff. Jessie is a doll and she has the best attitude. Trust me, you will not be disappointed. We chose this place because it was simple and clear-cut the pricing structure and what you get (which is a ton!). Go with the Adrianna. You will be glad you did.

We got married at the Adrianna Hill August 21, 2010 and it was AMAZING! We were between two wedding venues downtown but Jessie(Wedding Coordinator at the Adrianna) was the ultimate reason we decided to move forward with this venue. The location is PERFECT, we had our guests stay at the Paramount Hotel, our guests could walk to the hotel from the ballroom. The food was GREAT, the venue looked exactly like I expected it to. Jessie is very organized, professional, and responsive. Jessie had everything ready to go, she took care of everything through out the night. I had multiple shoe changes so that I could save my feet as much as possible, she made sure I had the right shoes on for the special moments for pictures, and she kept us on schedule. I loved my wedding day and she played a HUGE part in that.

This venue was beautiful and Jessie was so incredibly organized and on top of things!!! We just love Jessie! We could not have picked a better place to have our wedding! I was also an out of town bride and Jessie made everything run so smoothly that I didn't have to worry about anything! Also - I know many people wonder about the food... although I didn't eat really much of anything - excitement and nerves... I heard from SO MANY of our guests that the food was delicious! So just take that in! :) Thank you soooo much!

The Adrianna Hill Grand Ballroom was the perfect place for our spring wedding. The entire team, headed by the lovely Jessie, was the epitomy of professional, knowledgable, helpful, and organized. Not only is the space stunning and the ambiance romantic and classic, but the option of hosting a ceremony and reception all in one was exactly what we wanted. Jessie was a dream wedding coordinator and both my husband and I truely felt she listened to our wishes and executed our wedding day flawlessly in line with our expectations. She met with us multiple times throughout the wedding planning process to ensure we were on a timely schedule to be ready for our wedding. She coordinated all of our vendors politely and appropriately, even the hard to manage ones! She is very special and has a knack for making you feel important. On our wedding day, we didn't worry about a thing knowing that everything was in her very capable hands (along with Mel and Tim, her team)! My husband and I feel very fortunate that we wandered into the Adrianna Hill on accident one weekend and found our perfect wedding venue. If you are looking for a beautiful space, delicious food, charming character, and a staff that will only exceed your expectations, the Adrianna is exactly what you are looking for. They do not disappoint!!

The Adrianna Hill Grand ballroom is the absolute perfect place for your wedding. As soon as I walked into the ballroom I was in love but didnt think we could afford something like this but the pricing is awesome!!! I was able to have my dream day at my dream place and it was fantastic! The coordinator Jessie was absolutely wonderful.....I don't know what I would've done without her through this planning process. Everytime we met she greeted us with a huge hug and smile and made us so comfortable. As for the big day-oh my goodness-I wouldve been so stressed out if it wasnt for her! She made everything go smoothly and anytime I started to freak out or have a melt down she was right there to calm me down and try to fix or help in anyway she could! Jessie and the ballroom staff were absolutley wonderful-they make you feel like you are personal family or friends instead of just someone getting married at their venue! I would reccomend the Adrianna Hill to anyone- the pricing and venue and stuff are all absolutely wonderful!! Angela & Steve McCrary Wedding date: April 3, 2010

What a wonderful venue! It is elegant and vibrant yet comfortable and intimate. Our reception went perfectly. Not only that, but all preparations created a seamless evening of memories, food, beverage, and dancing. Several of my guests said, "this is the best wedding food we've had in a long time". Some said, "I love the ambiance". Others remarked, "It is beautiful and the service is remarkable". I agree with all of them! The owners are helpful and the manager is incredible knowledgeable and attentive. You will be more than pleased with how your wedding day turns out having held it at the Adrianna Hill Grand Ballroom.

The Adrianna Hill Grand Ballroom is a beautiful venue. And the food was excellent! As an out of town bride, the all inclusive package made my life much easier! Jessie, the wedding coordinator, was fantastic! She made the wedding day worry free. The only downside is that the price is almost non-negotiable. None-the-less, a great venue and would recommend (especially to out of town brides!!).

I can not say enough good things about this place. Talk about not having to worry about anything for your wedding day. The food, decor, wedding session, everything is personalized to what you want! It was incredible. The wedding planner, Jessie, made my life so easy that day. She made everything flow how it was supposed to with out any worries. The bridal party was taken care of, everything was set-up before we got there, and the transition from ceremony to reception was incredible!! and did i mention there food is great!!!

The Adrianna Hill Grand Ballroom is the PERFECT place for a wedding. We fell in love with this venue the second we walked in and knew this was where we were meant to begin the rest of our lives as one. I too was nervous about the pricing, but we were able to work with the packages available in regards to food and alcohol. The food was wonderful and they have a wide variety of selections, something sure to please each guest. I didn't have to worry about a thing on my wedding day - everything was pre-coordinated with my outside vendors. Phillip, Linda, and the event planning were so helpful during the planning process and were eager to make my day all I dreamed it would be - I really did feel like Cinderella. The ballroom is gorgeous and provides such a vintage, classy atmosphere you don't have to decorate it at all! I would reccommend this venue to anyone!

Miro, our coordinator at the ballroom, was FANTASTIC! She bent over backward to help us have a beautiful reception. And, she was there beside us all night during the reception telling us where to go, what to do, etc. She made this venue for us!

I can not say enough good things about Adrianna Hill! It is the most beautiful place anyone could ever imagine having a reception at. They do absolutely everything for you- set up to tear down. It was wonderful not having to worry about decorating some place on my own. The food was wonderful, the service was superb. Our guests could not stop saying nice things! Their event coordinators are absolutely fantastic. They have an array of packages to choose from for food giving you lots of options. Definitely could not have imagined having our reception any place else!
