Ainsworth House & Gardens

We had an absolutely amazing wedding thanks to the Ainsworth House (and our other wonderful vendors, of course). The grounds and reception area are gorgeous, the people who work there are wonderful, and they're willing to go above and beyond to make sure that everything goes off without a hitch. For anyone looking for a ceremony and reception venue in the Portland, Oregon area, I would highly recommend that you check out the Ainsworth House. It was a great value for the money and they made our special day truly amazing.

We had been looking for a place for sometime when we met with Kevin (the owner). The grounds were beautiful, you weren't forced to use their catering services, and everything was included! Honestly, when it came down to it....we picked the Ainsworth House for a lot of reasons because of Kevin. He was so kind and made you feel at home. And when we had a last minute scare because our best friend couldn't marry us, Kevin (being a Reverend) was more than glad to perform the ceremony for us. It's so affordable and has so much to offer! They went above and beyond for us!

It was a beautiful venue! Kevin and Renee were great to work with. It would be best to have your wedding pre-planned out, however. Liberty Events was not too easy to get ahold of. However, it's a helpful tool that came with AHG.

I was so happy that we were able to get married at the Ainsworth house. It couldn't have gone smoother. Thanks so much!! Lyn is amazing, as well as Kevin and all the other people who work there.

I loved the owners of the facility and the atmosphere and we loved the garden, tho I had a not so great experience with their wedding planner. I had many communication issues with her and was not happy that I had to initiate most of our meetings. Some things were not done the way we had discussed. I don't want to get into a lot of details, but I had a great wedding and loved the venue....

I didn't get the center piece candles on table which we talk about earlier, just small things. But Kevin he is really nice to work with. This place is gorgeous to hold a wedding. We have very good time there.

We met Kevin while looking at his property as a venue. We found a different venue, but had fallen in love with Kevin's personality and professionalism. Yes, marriage is serious business, but says you can't have a few chuckles at your ceremony?We weren't wanting a very religious ceremony (he will if you like) - actully no religion for us would be best! He helped us make it personal and spritual. Gave us several vows to pick from, prayers to pick from (we chose Apache Indian prayer), ring blessings, and readings. He helped us with having our guests participate in our ceremony with a ring blessing. Without making it corny, he made it personal and interactive with all of our guests. We received many compliments from our guests on the ceremony and what was said. We are very glad that Kevin will always be part of our lives from this day forward...

Ainsworth is beautiful, and overall, I was supremely happy with them. At the last minute, they argued the price with us and charged us more than we'd signed the contract for, but other than that, everything was wonderful. Gorgeous location, helpful people, friendly atmosphere. They even threw in the chair covers for free!

It was a blessing to have Kevin Yell marry us. We met him through his wedding venue at Ainsworth House and immediately knew it was meant to be. He met with Matt and I on multiple occasions to discuss wedding plans, life, and a myriad of other conversational details. Kevin had a wonderful vision of how we wanted our ceremony and gave us many great ideas for twists on traditions. He really made the ceremony memorable for us and (from the comments our guests left) it was just as memorable for them as well. We can't thank him enough for making our wedding ceremony so wonderful.

The Ainsworth House & Gardens is a beautiful place to hold an event. When my husband and I drove up to the site for the first time, we were not sure if it would suit our needs since it is in the middle of an neighborhood. We wanted a county feel to our wedding and the Ainsworth House was just that. After walking around the site, we knew it was the place for us. It was quite and with enough space for our wedding (85 guests). We like that the site offered both indoor and outdoor options for both the service and the receiption. The natural setting provided a fabulous backdrop to as much or as little additional decorations we felt we needed. The staff provided us many great suggestions to make our day just what we wanted. I was able to visit the site many times with family and vendors to iron out all the planning details.
