Open Catering Policy

We aim to support the vision of our Clients, their budgets, and as many businesses as possible here at UNION/PINE,
so we proudly offer an Open Catering Policy. This means that our Clients are welcome to hire any catering company that is licensed by City of Portland and State of Oregon and possesses food and service licenses. No fees apply.
 

 

Open Vendor Policy

UNION/PINE also extends our open policy to all vendors: rentals, A/V, florists, coordinators, etc. We have highlighted some of our favorites into the 'U/P Community' list below based on selection, budget, quality, and Client satisfaction, but any vendor is welcome.

Please let us know if you have a vendor to recommend for this list as it is constantly being updated!

Candles

Candles are permitted at UNION/PINE as long as they comply with Fire Marshall standards as outlined below.

Candles must have at least 4 inches between the top of the flame and the opening of the container.

Only electric candles are allowed on the wooden wall shelves.

Candles are permitted on tables and bars only, and never on the floor.
