Wedding industry gala celebrates Portlands best

A community celebration for the top wedding industry professionals is in the works in Portland, showcasing the top innovators and talents in the city.

The Oregon Wedding Day Best of 2026 Awards Gala is coming to Portland this June, and individuals in the wedding industry will want to save the date to ensure a seat at the tables. Online votes were collected by supporters, followers, and readers earlier in the year to help organizers narrow down the possible winners before a second round of voting conducted by the wedding community.

The gathering will begin with a social hour, allowing colleagues to mingle and new friendships to form. Attendees will want to invest in business card printing ahead of the gala to aid with the networking process. Hors d'oeuvres and light refreshments will be served before the gala segues into the awards ceremony.

Following the awards ceremony, guests will enjoy live music and dancing to shine the light on the evening’s winners. The theme will be Speakeasy, and attendees are encouraged to dress to match the theme. All wedding industry professionals are welcome to join, though children will not be allowed into the venue.

The Ritz-Carlton in Portland will be the host site for this evening of awards and celebration. It is scheduled for Tuesday, June 23rd, starting at 5:00 PM. Tickets are $161.90 per attendee online.
