  [QUOTE]Has anyone been married or looked at either of these locations? I'm on a relatively small budget and for what it includes Postlewait's looks really great. I'm wondering what any other brides' expereinces might have been. I've also been looking at The Foundry in Lake Oswego. It seems nice and includes a lot, but they seem reluctant to give me any prices. I've been in contact for a while to no avail. If anyone has pricing information that would be great. Also, any other suggestions on relatively inexpensive places would be great. Somewhere that includes tables, chairs, and linens would be fabulous. Oh! And that would let us use both indoor and outdoor space. Thanks!

Willamette River in Lake Oswego.  We are conveniently located just minutes from Portland, yet surrounded by nature on this private riverfront property.  We have stunning, unobstructed views of the river and offer flexible indoor and outdoor options for your event.  We have ample off-street parking making it very convenient for your family and guests.  We only host one event per day, so you and your guests will have the peace of mind that comes with knowing you will never be rushed because we are expecting another client to arrive.  This is a great benefit – who needs more stress on their wedding day?  </font></span><span style="background-color:transparent;border:0px;margin:0px;outline:0px;padding:0px;vertical-align:baseline;font-family:Wingdings;color:black;">J</span><span

  I've been to seven weddings at Postlewaits (I live nearby) and every wedding I've been to has been beautiful and some of the best pictures. They have a few different places as options for ceremony/reception. My BIL has worked with that family and they are really wonderful people. You get a lot for the price, IMO.

  Postlewait's is booked for all Saturdays in the summer of 2013 so hopefully you locked something in by now.  Online it looks like a great spot!  My wedding photographer friend gives it a thumbs up
