If you or someone you know plans to say “I do” this year, now’s a good time to nail down one of the most important details in the wedding planning process: the location.
On Monday, Jan. 8, Portland Parks and Recreation will start approving reservations for 2024 wedding ceremonies and receptions at more than 200 parks, gardens, and picnic areas.
People who hope to get hitched at places like Leach Botanical Garden or Hoyt Arboretum will line up outside the Customer Service Center on the first floor of the Portland Building (1120 SW Fifth Ave.) in the early morning hours. When the clock strikes 8 a.m., they’ll be ushered inside to enjoy light refreshments and submit their requests. In-person reservations will take priority until noon; at 1 p.m., parks staff will start processing phone, mail, and online requests.
