Chehalem Cultural Center

I recently went to a wedding here, and I was sitting at the table near the piano and I saw rats! I was already sweating a little because of how hot it was but I left when I saw the rats. It looks nice from the outside and lobby but the salon isn’t as well kept....

I rented this venue for my wedding this weekend. I paid $2800 with $200 deposit, and now they’re charging me an extra $900!! This is ridiculous and upsetting because they’re charging me for cleaning fees, when the man we spoke to told us they were going to clean it for with no reference to a fee, if I knew there was going to be a fee, I would have refused and cleaned the salon myself. On top of that they’re charging me a free for having “too many people,” when I did not even have more than 196 chairs. I know there was 196 chairs because I rented chair covers for what I had. I asked for 24 tables and 9 chairs, but they only didn’t 24 tables and 8 chairs. I even have videos showing empty tables and chairs!! In addition, they did not even have good, ventilated A/C, it was embarrassing because people came up to me personally and told me it was very hot and left early for that reason. They’re also trying to charge me for two rocks missing from the art gallery, even though the space was also open to the public. My florist came the night before the wedding to set up the flowers, and she said she saw rats!! My flowers died the day of my actually wedding because the A/C Doesn’t work. I spent more than $500 on my flowers, for no reason. Employees of this venue even told me the A/C wasn’t functioning properly. My drinks, along with ice was melted and hot. The rest of the building’s A/C was perfectly fine.They’re also charging me a couple of $100s to for boxes left when they told me I could come the following day to pick it up, but the space was closed so how could I pick it up???. I would not recommend this place!!

Great place for Newberg.

We rented this venue for my cousins baby shower. our guest list was long and we were in need of a wheel chair accessible venue. The Cultural center was hands down the best venue for an event with wheel chairs. Andrew was amazing through the whole process. he took every phone call I made to him and helped me find solutions for all of the last minute worries with a fantastic attitude. Our family will definitely rent this space again I am sure. If you need a venue that is modern, accessible and easy to do business with call the cultural center and ask for Andrew. You wont be disappointed.

A great community resource.
