Thoughts on Airbnb Reception for a Small Wedding? I'm looking into reception venue options for our very small wedding (9-12 adults, 3-5 kids). Our ceremony is booked for our local arboretum's wedding meadow during the evening, and I'm considering just booking an event friendly Airbnb for a backyard dinner. Obviously I'd be ready to bring in outside catering/decorations. Does anyone have experience with this? Or suggestions for alternate venues? We'll be in Portland, OR if anyone knows of specific options for the area!

Hey! Portlander here. π I've shot a few weddings that were in large Airbnbs/VRBOs and they were perfect for more intimate weddings. There's a filter on both sites to only see options that would work well for events, but in the past when I've reached out on behalf of a couple I was working with, even if there wasn't anything specially on the listing about weddings, owners were really helpful. As far as non Airbnbs, here's a few smaller Portland specific venue ideas: [Union/Pine](https://www.unionpine.com) [McLean House](https://www.mcleanhouse.org) [Opal 28](https://www.opal28.com) [Ecotrust](https://ecotrust.org)
I would love ideas on where to have a small wedding in the Portland area. We are only going to have up to 15 people. Any recommendations are much appreciated. Thank you! Sorry I should have mentioned our wedding day is February 10th. :)

Looking for recommendations on places to host bridal showers in Portland that doesn't cost a ton of $$$, preferably allows outside catering and alcohol. Thanks in advance!

Has anyone used the meal services deliveries online like Blue Apron, etc? If so, any recommendations? My sis down in Portland cannot cook (Stage IV breast cancer) and her husband is an awful chef. Any ideas to send them dinners?
