![5]( "Recensione")
We had our wedding and reception at Opal 28 in March of 2022. Overall, the experience was perfect and the day turned out better than we'd imagined.
We went with a small wedding, 37 people total. We used Opal 28 for the ceremony and reception, and The Pie Spot for dessert. We took pictures at Laurelhurst park before the ceremony.
The entire Opal28 team was so amazing to work with. They were very responsive to all our questions, going above and beyond to help us celebrate safely and making accommodations for our covid protocols. The space itself is lovely, it's nice having multiple rooms and spaces for everyone to spread out in, each space having a different atmosphere.
Having LJ as our day of coordinator and Kristi helping us coming up to the event was such a huge help. Besides the beautiful space, the staff is the best reason to come to opal. One of the best decisions we made was paying the few hundred extra to have LJ and the opal staff take care of setting up and taking down our decor. They made it look waaaayyy better than anything we could have done on our own. LJ made sure the day went smoothly, making sure everyone and everything was in its right place at the right time.
The other huge bonus to Opal 28 is having the apartments above. We rented out all four apartments for our wedding weekend, and it made the whole weekend that much better. Not having to worry about travel to or from the venue, having a space just above the venue to get ready, and how spacious the apartments are, made the weekend go so much smoother.
If we ever have a reason to throw another event like this in the area, we would book with Opal 28 again in a heartbeat. Thank you, LJ, Kristi, and the whole Opal 28 team for making our wedding day perfect.
We rented Opal28 for our wedding ceremony and reception and could not have been happier! Their team was easy to work with and they really ensured that we had a fun and magical evening. It's a beautiful, intimate venue perfect for our 50-person guest list. Opal28 provided the dinner as well, and it was so delicious. I highly recommend them for any sort of gathering, big or small. I almost want to have another party just so we can rent the space again!
We had our wedding reception here. The experience was great. We had a wonderful time. The staff are very professional and experienced. They ran things smoothly and we did not have to worry anything through out the preparation. The venue is very unique and historical. Great place for intimate party and small group celebration. Highly recommended!
We held our postponed wedding reception at Opal28 and couldn't be happier! The staff was very communicative during our decision making process as well as giving us the space needed to reschedule our event. On the day of, it was very easy for us and we appreciate the relaxed and professional staff support. Our guests raved about the food and we loved the intimate atmosphere of the patio. We would certainly use Opal28 again for a future party!
Absolutely amazing event space! The staff is fantastic! Perfect for small groups and intimate parties.
We went to a wedding at Opal 28. It was lovely. The staff were great. They managed all the decorating and seating. The venue is set up with 3 different rooms and a patio. The ceremony was in one room and there was seating in the other room, the bar was in another. After the ceremony they set up tables and chairs for eating. In the other room they cleared the floor for dancing. Food was set up in the bar and in the dance room. The staff moved things around in a way that seemed seamless to me. I would highly recommend this venue for your next event or gathering.
There are rooms upstairs for rent. The bride stayed in one and her brother and his family stayed in another. It was very convenient for getting ready for the wedding.
I threw a 70 person birthday party for my sister at this venue and we had a wonderful time. The space is cool, interesting and intimate. The food was delicious and the drinks well made. They had adequate staff for all of our needs and helped us plan every step of the way. Highly recommend!
We used Opal 28 to host a small retirement party for my dad. The event was perfect and many people commented at how cool the space was. It really is a hidden gem as you can't see the patio from the street. Once you walk through the door from the street, it's a private, urban oasis. I love that there are a few trees and other greenery so it's not just concrete. The inside is also lovely and the furniture, tables, and chairs are simple, but just right. The staff was amazing and responsive (sometimes it would take a day or two for an email response, but I got right through the one or two times I called). I hope we can find a good excuse to use Opal 28 again soon! They are reasonably priced and a package deal (they do food, drinks, and tables/linens). Thank you Opal 28!!!
