Treasury Ballroom Relaunch Sparks High Interest Rates

April 29, 2016 Filed Under: Vibrant Vendors

On Thursday, April 21, The Treasury Ballroom located in downtown Portland, hosted a relaunch party celebrating the freshly updated space. The two month remodel included a modern color palette of navy blue, tabby grey, and white, new carpet and drapery, along with installing walls of mirrors and removing a portion of wall to highlight the iconic and still active bank vault.

The vision for the event was a collaborative effort from VT Group’s Vibrant Table Catering and Events, Vibrant Flowers, and Food in Bloom Catering, incorporating equipment and product from a handful of pivotal industry partners; Annie’s Pies, PDX Ice, The Party Place, Really Big Video, West Coast Drape and West Coast Event Production. Each vendor brought their dialed in experience and efforts to enhance the Treasury’s chic and modern vibe. A thank you to all who helped create a flawlessly executed event, and also to our guests attended.

The Treasury Ballroom accommodates daytime meetings, conferences, breakout sessions, afternoon receptions and happy hours, evening galas, casual and formal dinners, etcetera and is conveniently located in downtown Portland, boasting a prime central location for you and your guests. For additional information, including current and upcoming promotions, or to schedule a personalized site tour, visit our updated website.

Currently, if you book a Friday or Sunday event, you’ll receive 50% off of the room rental rate. And, soon to arrive is an impressive collaboration with Lan Su Chinese Garden. Sign up for our newsletter HERE to receive the most current updates about our space and services.

The Treasury Dynasty

March 10, 2016 Filed Under: News, Venues

TREASURY Dynasty Downtown Dynasty!

Treasury Ballroom’s Modern Facelift Accrues Interest.

While 1980’s elegance and flair may hold up in Dynasty, we are NOT in Denver, we are not in the oil industry, and sadly, we are not a Carrington. While embracing those amazing fads like shoulder pads and mile-high Aquanetted bangs, let’s not forget the breathtaking décor and color palettes. I’m talking about fake flowers, gigantic fountains and Liberace-esque faux gold coated anything. And mauve. MAUVE! I mean, taupe had its moment, but MAUVE, you guys. Talk about drama. And like sands through an hourglass, such drama was captured airtight in our vault in Portland’s well revered and iconic venue, The Treasury Ballroom. Until now.

Our Treasury Ballroom got a little nip/tuck, and a Teen Witch makeover, and now, we’re thrilled to present you with her updated beauty. Gone are the heavy, sagging drapes of velvet. No more is the dark mahogany accenting and Liberace-esque faux gold coated anything. Seriously, there was a LOT of gold. Also, saying farewell is the butter-cream yellow paint job and unfortunate fluorescent lighting. Sometimes saying goodbye is painful, but in this case, it was as rejuvenating and exhilarating as when Alexis and Krystle got in their first cat fight back in 1982.

We’ve modernized The Treasury, adding fresh, clean and simple notes. Minimal elements are juxtaposed against the historic venue to create an ambiance of bright chic elegance. The Italian marbling still lays exposed and pristine, paired with our vision of a dark navy blue, tabby grey and brilliant white palette. We knocked out a wall or two, updated the built in bar, tore out the old carpet, brightened up the ceiling, reconfigured an ergonomic floor plan, and polished up the hardware and vault. The neutral palette translates perfectly for any event theme and the customized space is ideal for weddings, receptions, meetings, conferences, holiday parties, networking events, or choreographed dance numbers. This star of yesteryear is ready for her comeback, and don’t worry, we kept the dramatic staircase intact should a cat-fight ensue.

Real Wedding: Lindsey & Joseph at The Treasury

April 24, 2012 Filed Under: Bridal Boutique

Lindsey and Joseph are obviously in love. To celebrate their nuptials, this Washington-based couple went classically modern, highlighting Northwest favorites for out of town guests. A color palette of ivory, seafoam, and splashes of pink is elegant but far from boring. Is there better venue than The Treasury Ballroom  to complement this classy yet contemporary couple?
The newlyweds selected a creative menu that focuses on local flavors. Offerings included an herb-seared salmon with roasted tomato and asiago butter sauce and potato-leek confit, Carlton Farm pork loin with apple chutney and sweet potato-wild rice cake, and three-cheese risotto cakes with fresh Oregon wild mushroom cream sauce. Our favorite part: ice cream sandwiches in place of a traditional wedding cake – platter passed on the dance floor!
Lindsey and Joseph also chose to modify the traditional garter toss. Instead of scrambling after lacy lady garments, all the single lads were called to the front and they had to take a shot. They also offered a  photobooth with a foot pedal, so guests could take photos of themselves. Lindsey and Joseph certainly know how to get the party going!

Real Halloween Wedding

October 29, 2010 Filed Under: Bridal Boutique, Catering Chronicles, Inspiring Ideas, Soiree Spotlights

Thinking of having your wedding on Halloween? This Portland couple embraced the idea and ran with it. Rather than a traditional wedding reception, Travis and Katie threw a party infused with gothic elements that were sexy and fun, yet befitting such an important milestone.

Details included an 8′ x 4′ image backdrop of the 19th century St. Patrick’s Cathedral instead of the usual flowery arch. The color scheme of black, white, and red was classic, yet representative of the Halloween theme. Children were encouraged to arrive in costume and Katie even arranged for a special kids area with skeleton, candy, and traditional Halloween decor. To enhance the festive vibe, the happy couple offered heavy appetizers and signature cocktails place of a sit-down meal with wine.
