  • Booking your event

    If you are a presenter looking to rent a venue, here's how to get started. 

    Step 1: Email us at booking@portland5.com to check date and venue availability.

    Step 2: Complete the full presenter application using the form below, and attach your 501c3 document if relevant. This helps our team estimate costs. Email booking@portland5.com if you have any difficulty with the form. 

    New presenter applications must be received at least 90 days before the event date. 

    Step 3: Once your application is reviewed, we’ll let you know if it’s approved. After that, you can begin placing holds, requesting labor estimates and confirming dates.

  • Rental rates

    Costs include base rent, labor, equipment charges and ticketing fees (see below). Labor costs vary depending on the venue and your event’s technical requirements. Please note that all our theatres have union labor and required staffing minimums.

    Nonprofit rates apply only to 501(c)(3) organizations in Multnomah, Clackamas, Washington and Clark counties. 

    All rates effective July 1, 2026, and subject to change without notice.

  • Ticketing and fees

    Tickets must be sold through the Portland'5 ticketing platform Paciolan. Nonprofit presenters may also be eligible to use their own ticketing systems with approval from the Portland'5 Box Office. 

    All tickets sold for Portland'5 events incur a facility fee of 6% of the ticket price, with a $2.25 minimum per ticket. 

  • Private events

    We occasionally host private events such as corporate meetings, conferences, and weddings. Interested? Email us at booking@portland5.com for more information.
