Celebrate the new bouncing baby in a collaborative arts community! From the moment guests step in the door of this inspiring gallery space, they’ll be inspired by the communal feel of the space. Make the most of every inch: guests will arrive to mix and mingle in the gallery space among the creations of 30 local artists.

However, you can use existing furniture for food and beverage service — one less thing to think about! Convene later in the private classroom area for lunch, where smaller pieces of art adorn the walls and windows, giving a continued sense of openness and light. This is one of those baby shower venue ideas in Portland that’s ideal for art lovers and artists alike.

“Amazing space, host was very accommodating and a pleasure to deal with,” says one of this gallery’s happy Peerspace renters.

Portland is overflowing with options for unique architecture, and this venue is no exception. An undeniable draw comes with a space that boasts an identity centered around thoughtfully crafted comfort food and warm beverages brewed with love and care.

Drop that feeling into an early-1900s Craftsman home, and you have a cafe and event venue that encourages warmth and connection from the moment your guests step onto the covered porch. It’s the perfect venue for the parents-to-be who want something beautiful but not fussy, as inviting and comfortable as one’s own home. As an added bonus: the acoustics in the space are perfect for a solo guitar to provide background music.

Check out what one event planner shared about her time at this Peerspace venue: “THIS COULD NOT HAVE WORKED OUT BETTER! The place was just as shown, and perfect for our group of 15-20. I brought in a couple of table clothes, a bean salad, veggie tray and cake. They provided a needed severing platter, cups, utensils and garbage cans and those who wanted to could order off the menu. Very comfy space and owners were terrific to work with ! Thank you for hosting. We will be using your space again at this price”

5. An Old Town corner venue with a warm, rustic atmosphere

Industrial meets rustic with a nod to vintage style. The rich color of the wood in this venue invites decor in bold, primary colors. The design blends hardwood floors with touches of natural elements, accented with antique light fixtures to create a vibe that is warm and hospitable.

Walls of windows let in tons of light, while trendy wood-topped tables are easily movable to accommodate your guest count. They’re just waiting to be adorned with a table runner and florals of your design, keeping with the laid-back vibe of the space. A high-end kitchen and a nearby coffee roastery complete the perfect picture, making this adorable venue.

If you’re a fan of vintage-inspired vibes and pretty butterflies, this must be on your shortlist of baby shower venue ideas in Portland. The hosts carefully renovated the main living space of this breathtaking Victorian home to host your event. In fact, many of the original architectural details of the early 1900s home remain to allow for a warm, congenial feel. Your friends and family will immediately notice the butterfly accents and scrolled wood trim, offset by contemporary light fixtures.

Pocket doors and wide windows, an antique wood dining table, and comfortable living room seating make guests feel like they’re visiting an old family friend rather than attending a party in an event venue. The addition of a chef’s kitchen makes entertaining that much simpler: it’s ready and waiting for your caterer.

In the words of one of many delighted Peerspace reviewers: “This space is FANTASTIC. The home is warm and well decorated, with just the right amount of seating and entertainment space options. The kitchen is fully equipped and bright. Gabriel was a fantastic host and provided clear instructions — both verbally and written. The home was in tremendous condition and everyone commented on how tasteful and beautiful the decor was. If you’re having any kind of event, photoshoot, anything, I’d recommend this space wholeheartedly.”

This home is a bright and sunny surprise, thanks to its south-facing windows and sleek, modern design. A neutral palette welcomes any color scheme or design concept. It’s a petite space, but floor-to-ceiling, flowing white curtains add texture and make the space cozy and soft. In fact, you can leave them open for a dramatic accent or close them to actually make the space smaller. It also boasts an open-concept kitchen and plenty of comfy seating for the mama-to-be!
