Love the Old Church Concert Hall for weddings. I have photographed a couple of weddings here already and it never fails to produce beautiful photos. One of the weddings was styled as a vintage style wedding and the other wedding was a Scottish wedding! Go check out my blog for sooo many pictures from these couples weddings. stunningportraitphotography.com

Super cool venue! Plenty of room, great acoustics, and a classy vibe all around. If youre a band looking to take your gigs to the next level, this may be a perfect place to add prestige.

This is a beautiful venue. Dont take my word for it - do a Google image search. I was searching for the next venues for Tuck & Patti - who will be there Feb 25. They are awesome - I just saw them in Santa Cruz on Valentines Day and want to see them again soon. She has a beautiful voice and very cool phrasing and he is an excellent and imaginative guitar player. Meanwhile - next time in Portland I will for sure book a concert here on The Portland State concert hall.

An amazing, small, intimate venue!! The acoustics complemented the musician harmoniously. We sat just a couple of rows from the stage, but it really felt like we were right on stage. A historic site held relevant for generations to come. Thank you Van Hunt for bringing us to the Old Church Concert Hall!!

Great space for events. There is room for improvement as far as accessibility is concerned but otherwise good event space

What a special venue. The acoustics, as one can imagine, are simply fantastic. Such a beautiful atmosphere to listen to music in. Because the audience seating is the actual church pews centered around the dais, it lends intimacy and almost a sacral feeling to the performances.

Great concert venue, small enough for a more intimate concert, yet still holds a significant number of people! Availability of beer and wine a nice bonus.

Beautiful place, and great sound. Such an excellent place for the #pdxbookfest, with beautiful touches all over.

This place is amazing inside & out! We watched a magic show there done by Mario the Maker Magician

We had our wedding ceremony here at the end of July, and it was perfect! Gina was amazing to work with and went out of her way to let us stop by (multiple times) to check out the space. The ceremony itself went perfect, and our dog was allowed to participate. They even let us stay a little later to take some additional photos. They were all so pleasant to work with and I love the space!

Beautiful old church thats now used for concerts, weddings and gatherings. Maybe not the best sound for the true audiophile but it looks amazing inside! Go check it out!

Portlands 1883 Old Church (please, my Norsk cousins, dont laugh at that year) is a must-see happening every holiday season. Loving his new Winter CD music. Bought his newest CD for our celebration this year.The space has beautiful interior (and exterior) architecture that really creates an atmosphere.This is the best place to worship are creator.

Amazing theatre experience in a beautiful old church rich with Portland history and an epic organ too!

Beautiful old church. Great acoustics.

Wednesday lunch concerts are a treasure. It was the perfect place to get married.

Beautiful church with an interesting history. The pianist & organist superb. What a wonderful noon program for so many people.

Historic, beautiful old church and a great place to hear a concert. Beautiful architecture.

Great entertainment venue. Good view of the stage and good acoustics. Well managed people movement. Most enjoyable evening.

Unique venue with amazing acoustics. Great location for acoustic or lower key music. Church pughs are still in place, which are actually comfortable but not so conducive to bands youd want to stand for.

Went to the Wendy Gledhill Rabbithole concert here. The atmosphere was perfect!

Truly enjoy the free concert at noon every Wednesday! Such a beautiful old church!

Our second time attending a wedding here. Its nice for a ceremony. I like the stage. Its made for a smaller production which is fine but they absolutely need some way to amplify the voices of the people speaking. Both weddings I attended I had to make up words they might be saying. It is so difficult to hear anything.

A beautiful location for particularly salt of the earth, folksy music, the old church has stunning acoustics and a very intimate setting. seating just under 300 people, semi-popular acts coming through the old church sell out almost immediately, so it always feels rather special to acquire a ticket to an event there. ive had nothing but good experiences there. you can also purchase beer or cider there to supplement the live show experience, which is a nice bonus.

What an acoustically FANTASTIC venue!

Beautiful concert venue with an intimate feel. Acoustics are very good. Center pews have great sight lines to the stage. Beer, wine, soft drinks and snacks served in entrance hall. Operated with heart and a sense of mission. Memorable!

Very good concert place. Good sight lines , good acoustics .

A great use for a former church. It would have gotten five stars but the seating is the original pews.

A great place for theater and music !

Great spot for a small crowd show.

Michael Allen Harrison and friends in concert resonated throughout the Old Church!

Gorgeous space. I went here for a storytelling show called Russian Roulette that was a SUPER good time.

Unique performances. Beautiful facility.Seats are uncomfortable and terrible lines of sight.

Beautiful old church with nice acoustics. Has pew seating so bring a pillow if you need one. Perfect venue for catching Jean-Michel Blais on piano.

I experienced the most memorable concert of my life in this building. The acoustics and intimacy of this venue made for a life changing experience. I cant wait to go back.

The best Holiday musical show we have been to. This was our first time.

Wonderful acoustics and a dependably awesome music lineup. One of my favorite venues for folk and world music.

Show was wonderful, convenient parking! But mostly I have to complement the staff on there gracious handling me me in my scooter. Took me down to the handicapped bathroom in the little elevation. Could not have been kinder! Thank you so much!

If youre here for an acoustic or acapella show its an absolute delight. The sound is simply devine.

Looks good for naborhood passer by factor. Never can have to many fancy churches.

Because its a better place of worship in Portland it is an old-style building comes in the end of the current modernistic period.

Recently I was able to see one of my favorite artists at this venue.Only a few people can say that they truly have natural talent. Liz longley is one of those people. Her talent is seen, felt, and heard.A true musician, whose voice is accompanied by melodious tunes and expertly written lyrics. The music, like Liz, is down to earth, complete, and soulfully entertaining. The songs can pull you in emotionally and leave you feeling connected to something greater than yourself.Seeing her perform in person at the old church concert hall was a priceless experience. The vocals and venue left everyone in the room in awe and amazement.If there is ever an opportunity for you to see such an astounding artist, dont hesitate, just go. The atmosphere created at one of her shows is comparable to any of lifes greatest moments. The birth of a child, or a proposal from the one you love.Her ballads help each individuals imagination increase in vividness and life.Liz truly has an angelic gift.And I am truly glad to have spent the time to hear her in person at the old Church concert Hall in Portland, Oregon on October 16th.

Wonderful Christmas show. Very beautiful and intimate setting.

Literally an Old Church, this could be my favorite new venue.Small and intimate, with good acoustics, maybe a dozen pews, with padded seats. Bar next door, restrooms downstairs, its got all you need.

The acoustics are amazing! See anything there. It will be fabulous.

Great Christmas Concert with Michael Allen Harrison.

Went to see and hear Tuvan throat singers in the Old Church Concert Hall tonight. Fabulous. Great acoustics. Lovely venue. You can purchase beer, wine, hard cider, herbal teas, & yummy cookies there.

This is a great room to see shows. Ive been about 4-5 times now. Occasionally Ive had challenges hearing lead vocals or jokes that performers are telling when they are talking, but I imagine that has more to do with the speaker array being so far from our faces - many churches have this kind of set up and it becomes a bit challenging if someone is mixing at a conservative volume. I know there are a lot of acoustic shows there. But on the flip side, acoustic music often relies on being able to hear the lyrics as they are sung. Just saw Julianne Johnson perform soul tunes there last weekend and had no trouble hearing her. The mix was stellar. So perhaps the other 3 shows I caught where I couldnt hear vocals was just unlucky.

Awesome concert with Ryan Petersen, Those Willows & Camp Crush!

Really good use of an old church. Acoustics are really good.

Whether you are listening to music having a drink or just walking around this is an amazing place to visit. Sometimes the best time to go is when theres nothing going on and just walking around. But its the acoustics are amazing.

Very nice and clean...good people and a very positive modeling show...the people who put together this show on done an excellent job.

A great venue for small intimate concerts.

Saw Michael Allen Harrison here. Nice venue and show.

Amazing concert venue! Absolutely gorgeous and the acoustics were spectacular

Wonderful venue with an impressive organ and beautiful stained glass windows that hosts really cool music-especially great for folk/ world folk fans. Great acoustics to boot.

Saw the posies there and its a really lovely space. If youre handicapped, theres an elevator, but it was locked and I decided Id rather chance the stairs than miss more of the show. Sight lines are great and you can buy a drink. The steinway also was in tune and gorgeous.

Admittedly I am biased toward this venue as my grandmother was crucial to its restoration. That said, its a lovely space to see a concert, and Im sure the same can be said for a church service. Great acoustics and an intimate performance space.

Small, intimate space with perfect acoustics.

So beautiful and serene. if you can, come to a concert here!

Nice place for a beer. Or a game of pool good food

A beautiful, intimate venue for music performances and other events.

Wow, just went here for the first time last night. What a cool venue! The older I get the more places like this are my speed. Calm, relaxed, lots of places to sit, and the acoustics are just fantastic.

I came here to see Colin Meloy perform. The acoustics were absolutely superb. The entire performance felt so intimate and surreal. The way the Church is laid out, it makes you feel like you and the artist are side-by-side and theres nothing else in the world. It was one of the best live musical experiences of my life and Ive seen Colin perform with his full band, The Decemberists, a dozen other times at various sized venues.

Fantastic venue. great sound. nice to be able to sit at a general admission show in an intimate venue. beautiful space, too.

Not so sure about the church but the parking lot next door is fantastic. Really firm ground for parking my car. Also a perk that Jesus protects your car from car jackers.

Beautiful venue curating unique artists. Recommend!

The space has beautiful interior (and exterior) architecture that really creates an atmosphere. For it truly being a building designed to be a church, when I attend events here I don’t get an overwhelming sense of religion from the space. Which is good. It has a very welcoming atmosphere for everyone. The event I attended in particular had a ASL translator and I found that so incredibly thoughtful and helpful!

What a beautiful church!! We were lucky enough to take in the Christmas At the Old Church Concert with Michael Allen Harrison. Incredible music to a STO audience. A definite stop if youre here on the Christmas Holiday!

A Michael Allen Harrison Christmas concert at Downtown Portlands 1883 Old Church (please, my Norsk cousins, dont laugh at that year) is a must-see happening every holiday season. Loving his new Winter CD music. Bought his newest CD for our celebration this year. Thank you, Dan.

The Old Church Concert Hall is a saved historic church that is now a venue for music, shows, lectures and theater. Each Wednesday it provides a free noon time concert The Old Church Concert Hall is also a famous wedding venue in Portland Oregon

Stunning interior! Saw a very moving concert here - was it the musician, the gorgeous space, the community? That combination of ingredients made the event just magical.

Great Brazilian bosa nova guitarist last night

Great architecture venue, good acoustics, church bench seats.

Beautiful architecture and great venue for shows. It was an all around great experience id enjoy repeating in the future. I attended a public event for ubderstanding lgbq and trans gender pronouns

Beautiful old church that sounds amazing. Comfortable, intimate location. Will definitely be seeing other shows here.

WA Governor Jay Inslee with a quick stop. Likely the most educated Presidential candidate regarding climate change, but preaching to the choir in the PNW. Question is how can he do garnering support in carbon generating Texas, the industrial midwest and the political boxing ring that is the northeast.

It’s a really nice small venue. And they have a good lineup of shows... downside... people move a lot to get drinks over the shows.

One of my favorite small concert venues. Good acoustics and most seats have good visibility

Great acoustics at this venue and space.

Loved it plus great concert. A beautiful church, nice neighborhood, I felt very comfortable there.

A really pretty building. It can get a bit hot in the spring or summer since they dont have much when it comes to air conditioning. The bathrooms are a little out of the way also. Other than that, its an amazing place!

Quite possibly one of the best concert venues Ive ever attended. As the name suggests, this is, in fact, and old church. It is a very ornate, opulent church. There is a HUGE pipe organ from 1882, and at the concert we attended, there was a brilliantly talented organ player keeping us entertained before the show proper started. The acoustics are great, and the fact that there are plenty of pews in which to sit make for a comfortable evening. Im looking forward to the next show!

I find this a very pleasant venue to attend a concert or performance. Its small enough to feel intimate but not cramped. Ive been to three different shows, sitting in different spots and enjoyed each one - itd be hard to get a bad seat especially for a concert.There are concessions and snacks in the adjacent room including beer, wine and cider. There is soda as well. The only thing we truly did not enjoy was the diet soda that my husband ordered. Ive forgotten the brand name - a boutique brand cola sweetened with stevia. He hated it. Im more used to that type of sweetener and thought he might have been overreacting. Then I tried it and was shocked at just how bad it tasted. Truly nasty stuff to be avoided at all costs!

Very beautiful church. A small church can survive in a big city. Makes me proud to see it still being used and maintained with pride.

This is a magical venue for a music performance. Have gone twice to see Michael Allen Harrisons Xmas Concert and we have never been disappointed.

Attended a wedding here, what a great facility.

You Have To Visit And You Will Know

Good concert venue. Very nice acoustics, a beautiful organ as a backdrop, pretty good sightlines from almost all seats, and theyve finally put in small plaques giving seat numbers so assigned seating is now the norm (almost always used to be open seating).

I never knew that this church was not a functional church but instead a music venue. The sound guy did a great job with both groups we saw (Tomo Nakayama, and Lenore.). The pews all had cushions so it was still fairly comfortable, and the drink prices were all reasonable. The only downside is that street parking in the area is atrocious, but there is a pay lot catty-corner to the Old Church, so at least theres that.

Intimate historic venue for concerts or private events.

Great venue for music. Accoustics r great.

Super intimate setting for a concert very unique and memorable acoustics cant wait to come back!

Wonderful concert venue ... great atmosphere, very good site lines and acoustics.

A beautiful place. The acoustics here are perfect for singing!

It was an intimate space to gather with others to celebrate the upcoming holidays.

As usual, a wonderful Michael Allen Harrison concert. He keeps it interesting by varying his Christmas program every year.

This is a fantastic show, recomend to anyone who enjoys a show with very talented musicians who can change up a show at the blink of an eye. Very relaxing and feel good show.

The Michael Alan Harrison Christmas Eve at tge Old Church was a beautiful event.

Saw Joep Beving here and it was an intimate no frills venue with a nice lighting system.

Very cool venue, would come back to a show I was only mildly interested in because the layout and acoustics are phenomenal
