Looking for a place to hold a corporate retreat? Beautiful Five Pine Lodge in Sisters, Oregon has a conference center and accomodations for your next event. The Teresa Conference Center is behind the lodge and has a variety of meeting spaces to accomodate your needs. The Chef will customize your menu for you. Shibui spa is onsite as well as Sisters Athletic Club. Group activities can be added to enhance your next meeting or event. Three Creeks Brewery and the Sisters Movie House are also on the property.

Your attendees can stay in a lodge room or in a private cabin. Each room has a waterfall soaking tub and Italian tile shower.  I had the luxury of staying in a private cabin and it was fantastic. Five Pine Lodge has thought of everything to make your stay perfect.  Your attendees will leave feeling refreshed and energized. For more information check out www.fivepinelodge.com.

I had the opportunity to check out a fantastic new event space acquired by West Coast Event Productions. The space is located at NW 14th and Overton, on the outer edges of the Pearl District.

This space can be used for events or weddings, with a capacity up to 999. There is a lower and upper space available. West Coast can provide you with many ways to decorate the space.

Planners and brides can bring their choice of vendors to the space.

Beautiful Windows cover the exterior of the building.
