Micro Wedding at Victorian Belle

Micro Weddings

The covid-19 journey has been long and hard for everyone (except for maybe Amazon!).

Since spring of 2020, the world has been filled with ever shifting sands under our feet. The rules seemed to change hour by hour, and no one knew what to expect. Travel, holiday, and wedding plans had to be either cancelled or rescheduled. Weddings were an especially huge question. No one had any answers for couples who were suddenly caught in the wave of uncertainty that Covid brought with it.

During 2020, while EVERYTHING was closed, the Victorian Belle went through some major renovations and restoration work. There were extensive carpentry repairs, and the house was stripped of all the old paint and then repainted. The commercial kitchen received updated equipment to better serve our guests. The Victorian Belle has been completely refreshed, and is more beautiful than ever!

Now that we are in 2021, there is light at the end of the tunnel. Vaccines are being rolled out, and there is hope for a return to some degree of normalcy. However, we aren’t quite there yet. And even as the vaccine gets distributed, we are still being told to carry on with social distancing precautions for an indeterminate period of time.

For those couples who don’t want to wait until the unknown time when large groups can once again get together, the Victorian Belle is offering a Micro Wedding package.

Micro Wedding at Victorian Belle

So just what exactly IS a micro wedding?

These are smaller versions of our bigger weddings. Yes! Music, a beautiful cake, lovely decor, delicious food and bubbly are part of this more intimate experience. The Victorian Belle takes care of all the details, allowing couples to simply enjoy the day.

A micro wedding at the Victorian Belle is for up to 25 guests.

This sweet little package provides couples a chance to really connect and celebrate more one on one with those they are closest to.

Since the Victorian Belle has a large outdoor gazebo and extensive gardens, there is plenty of room for people to safely interact.

The house and gardens are beautiful! We hope to see you there!

In honor of Women’s History Month, we present Amanda Cole:  The historic Victorian Belle Mansion was built in 1885 as a gift from David C Cole to his wife, Amanda. Constructed of lumber milled entirely from the property, the original building costs came to $8000, a large sum in those days.  #victorianhouse #victorianwoman #1885 #womenshistorymonth #portlandhistory #portlandwomen #portlandweddingvenue

One of Portland's best wedding venues, the Victorian Belle Mansion is a private 2.5-acre estate located just 10 minutes from downtown, and 20 minutes from Portland International Airport (PDX).
