Fifty guests is where most micro-wedding venues tap out, so the sub-$5,000 options that hold a real crowd are almost all public pavilions and halls. Every listing below is a real Portland area site with a price published by the venue itself or in a public fee schedule, checked in August 2026. We do not publish estimates, and we do not take a cut of what you book.
