Kate and Kyo were looking for a unique venue to house their wedding and what better place than the American Institue of Architects in the heart of Portland. Brick building meets industrial interrior, we were in love with their choice of venue. A crafty friend of Kate and Kyo built them a beautiful bamboo alter for the wedding and one day in the future when they move from their amazing loft apartment to a house with a yard the alter will come with them. It even has little fountains that attache to the sides but they chose not to use them for their ceremony.
Kate and Kyo are both chefs so the choice of reception menu was heavily influenced by the food and atmosphere. 23Hoyt won out as the choice for their reception and the whole restaurant was closed for their private event. The food was to die for, the atmosphere was fun and quirky from the antler chandelier to the eclectic art on the walls. We loved every inch of this restaurant.
If your a friend or family member interested in viewing more of Kate and Kyo’s beautiful wedding you can pre-register and we will be releasing the entire event soon.
