The historic Victorian Belle mansion in Portland, Oregon, was built in 1885 by local merchant, David C. Cole as a gift to his wife, Amanda. Ornate woodwork, curated furnishings, and an extensive collection of Povey Brothers stained glass windows make this restored property an opulent venue for your own love story.

The Victorian Belle offers all-inclusive wedding and micro-wedding rentals, in-house catering & beverage packages, and service staff to ensure your day is as elegant as the mansion herself.

Our venue includes two and a half acres of tended gardens, a spacious dining tent, an enclosed 1200 square foot gazebo, a Victorian fountain & courtyard, and beautiful open lawns.

How I cater to offbeat weddings

At the Victorian Belle, we believe true hospitality is defined by inclusion and we welcome your diversity! We celebrate wedding partners of all types and we’re always working to better support those who are underserved in the wedding community.

We provide multiple getting ready suites for partners and their wedding parties, a welcoming environment, flexible use of the mansion & grounds, and gender neutral contracts & booking materials.

We love the quirky, nerdy, creative and the Victorian Gothic, of course! October is our favorite month.

"We can't recommend the Victorian Belle highly enough. Every staff member we interacted with was kind, accommodating, and professional, and the venue is very LGBTQ friendly."
--Bryna T. on The Knot

How I cater to offbeat weddings

This is one of the most important fields on your vendor listing! Our readers love to feel special and like you understand the issues that are important to them -- stuff like LGBTQ support, gender-neutral contracts, and inclusive sizing. They also love hearing about how offbeat YOU are, so be sure to mention any of your own quirks as a way to relate to folks.
