Question 1

What’s included with my event rental?

Accepted Answer

When you book your event at the Redd or the Ecotrust building, you can expect a dedicated event professional to work with you throughout the planning and logistics process, from contracting to execution. On the day of your event, a venue coordinator will be on site for the full duration of your contracted time to ensure all building and set-up related questions are answered. We do recommend hiring a professional coordinator or planner to manage vendors, decor/installations, and run of show, and we’re happy to provide recommendations for these services. In addition to your logistics and venue coordinators, a full suite of rental furniture is included with your rental. You can find this information on the web page for each event space.

Is parking included?

Accepted Answer

The Redd on Salmon has a lot with 50+ unmarked spots that are available to rent for exclusive parking. If not rented exclusively, it is shared parking amongst the tenants and employees of the Redd campus. We highly encourage cycling, ride-sharing, or public transportation otherwise, as public parking is limited in Inner Southeast Portland.  
Ecotrust has a visitor’s lot that is first-come, first-serve and shared with the building. The north side has a 2-hour limit until 5pm on weekdays. After 5pm and on weekends, all 36 spots are available without restriction.  
We're happy to share additional parking options available in the area upon request.
