Ava and Boby’s Portland Persian wedding in Portland’s Park Blocks was absolutely fantastic. Their love for one another, family, and friends flowed with a feeling we will never forget. Their Persian wedding in the Portland Art Museum completely blew our minds with all the love and joy expressed. When you combine the ornate decorations with great love it all comes together so powerfully. 

A Persian wedding in the Portland Art Museum offers a variety of spaces to ebb and flow through on your wedding day. PAM is an “artful venue” with 30,000 square feet of event space. Seriously, who wouldn’t want to get married in an “art museum” surrounded by history and a select collection of great pieces?  Its massive walls, ceilings, and hallways will invite your guests to feel like they are almost being ushered into a different era. There is also a lovely bridal suite upstairs with multi-dimensional mirrors where creative photos can be taken. In the bridal suite, there is enough room for the entire bridal party to get ready and not have to feel rushed while getting ready somewhere else and then have to compete with traffic to get to the venue. The bride and her best friends can be at ease, have fun and gracefully flow into the ceremony.

Just outside of the Portland Art Museum the Portland Park Blocks offer a variety of backdrops for a fun stroll and also take some diverse documentary and creative portraits. For Ava and Boby’s reception, there was a massive ballroom for a fantastic dinner and dance floor.  Angela Monet once said, “Those who dance are thought to be quite insane by those who cannot hear the music.” Well… Ava and Boby can definitely hear the music! We think all of Portland just might have felt the vibrations from this stunning wedding.
