Venue Features
The scene:

Set in the historic Ford Building, SE Portland's trendy mixed-use office/artist hub that formally produced Ford's Model T, Tendue eloquently blends Parisian-inspired textures and tones with this historical industrial setting to create an award-winning space that's both inviting and interesting. You'll immediately be drawn to the 13-foot wall of north-facing warehouse windows that filter impeccable natural light throughout the entire day and chandeliers that light-up the space after the sun sets. Additionally, the hand-painted patterned floor and custom wood molding create a soft aesthetic that when paired with curated furnishings, results in this impeccable space you'll love.

Design:
Meticulous design details make Tendue stand-out in many unique ways. Along with the signature hand-painted floor pattern and custom wall molding, Tendue is also well known for its custom-built double-sided eight foot tall movable plant / TV wall that gives the space great living energy, along with simultaneously serving as a room divider, photo backdrop, and the source for presenting meeting materials or watching the big game.
Standout venue features:

Tendue's visually inspiring setting is uniquely designed to optimize the event experience for mid-sized groups and photographers. This beautifully furnished space easy flexes and adapts to create the perfect setting for hosting photo shoots, workshops, group meetings or most anything else.

Extra perks:
Tendue's philosophy is to make the event experience simple, easy and memorable. Complimentary tea and water greats guests and an in-depth inventory of the little things give you everything needed to make sure your event goes off without a hitch. On the practical side, a large moving cart, elevator and loading dock make unloading/loading as easy as it can be.
