The Oregon Garden does not have an in-house catering service. However, we work closely with a number of approved caterers who are familiar with our property and have shown our clients top-tier service time and time again. We do require that our clients choose from one of our existing approved caterers. We are confident you will find someone who suits your needs on our list.

No, the Garden does not provide linens, dinnerware, silverware or any other kind of decor or service items. All of our approved caterers are able to provide linens, dinnerware and silverware. We are also happy to recommend some of our favorite local rental companies, who have a wide selection of decor, alternative table and chair options, barware, etc.

• Our Grand Hall includes two indoor rooms which serve as getting ready space.

We want our clients to have a fun and safe celebration! We require any third party alcohol providers to supply us with a copy of their OLCC license and proof of liquor liability insurance. Any and all individuals serving alcohol must provide copies of their Alcohol Server’s Permit. We reserve the right to remove guests or terminate any event where overconsumption or bad behavior becomes dangerous or disruptive, without notice or refund of any kind.

The Oregon Garden is a fully functioning public botanical Garden, home to a plethora of wild animals and beautiful plants. As such, we do not allow any decor that could impact the quality of our grounds, wildlife or buildings in any way. We do not allow the use of balloons, bird seed, rice, confetti, fake flower petals or sparklers. We do allow the use of glowsticks, bubbles, fiber optic wands and real flower petals. We’ve seen it all – ask us for suggestions on how to make your day amazing! Please refer to your contract or inquire for more details about our full policies surrounding decor and use of your venue space.

The client is responsible for ensuring all trash, including any and all decor items, are removed from the venue space no later than the event end time. All of our approved caterers are excellent about disposing of their own trash and ensuring you have less to worry about at the end of the evening!

We require a signed venue rental agreement and 50% deposit to secure your date. The remainder of your venue rental fee, a $1000 security deposit and proof of event insurance are due two weeks prior to your event date. Venue rental fees are non-refundable, but may be applied toward a future event date in the event your original date must be cancelled or rescheduled.
