What Couples Are Saying

We had our wedding at the Black Pearl this past weekend, and it was amazing. A beautiful venue that really has everything you need. Lots of areas to take photos around the venue itself as well, and big windows with lots of natural light if the weather proves a challenge and photos need to be taken inside.

The venue is a blank canvas that allows your dream to come to life. We did minimal decor and the place still looked amazing.

The fact that the venue had table and chairs for use was amazing and saved us extra time and money. They also have an open house ever Tuesday which was super helpful for planning everything.

The venue staff was wonderful and always answered our questions in a timely manner. They clearly communicated all of their rules and requirements (which were all very fair) and we didn’t have any surprises. We also felt their prices were very fair!

Thank you, Black Pearl, for being an amazing venue. We would highly recommend getting married here.

Had an amazing experience photographing a wedding here in early November! Perfect for a fall wedding. Gorgeous views of the Columbia River. The space was clean and versatile. Loved how spacious this was. The windows provided plenty of light before the sunset. Really hoping to shoot here again soon, thanks for having me! 🙂

Last weekend was my first time working a wedding at Black Pearl On The Columbia. I was extremely impressed with this venue! The space is sleek and beautiful, with huge river view windows. They have a three leveled interior that seamlessly transitions from a first floor ceremony and cocktail hour, to the main level reception; With the DJ Booth and Photo Booth on the top level. This was a large event that was handled with ease and professionalism.
