Lazo’s picks: wedding planners in Portland
12 picks · read 2026-10-12We read the website of every Portland wedding planner listed on Lazo (74 listings, 59 sites reachable) and set aside the ones that are not really in the wedding business: venues that also sell coordination, DJ and photo-booth companies, officiants, a barn venue and a videographer bundle listed as planners. What is left is a shortlist of vendors who say clearly what they do, show their work, and tell you how they work. Verified Lazo vendors come first. Nobody paid to be here, and this is not a ranking: Lazo ranks only on reviews from couples who booked.

Wedding Planners in Portland: questions couples ask
When is wedding season in Portland?
Peak season in Portland runs June to September. July through September is the dependable dry season; the rest of the year is mild and often rainy.
How far ahead should we book a wedding planner in Portland?
Plan on 12-18 months out for a peak-season Saturday. A wedding planner can only take one wedding a day, so popular dates go first.
How much does a wedding planner cost in Portland?
Most couples spend $800-$4,500+. Lazo does not yet hold verified booking prices for Portland, so treat this as a national range and ask each wedding planner for their packages.
What time is sunset for an August wedding in Portland?
Around 8:18 PM on August 15, with golden hour from about 7:37 PM. For portraits in that light, a ceremony near 5:33 PM works.

Apply with the county clerk. The fee is $60 and there is a 3-day waiting period. The license is valid for 60 days, and you need 2 witnesses.
