Every wedding needs something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue—a color all the more delightful when it’s connected with cheese. Highlight Oregon’s artisan cheesemakers with a memorable cheese-tasting station at your reception. Think smoked goudas, tangy blues and chocolate goat cheese truffles. Local specialty shops like Cheese Bar in Southeast Portland will work with you to put together a tasty selection spotlighting all the region has to offer and to tailor the cheeses to fit your budget and needs (read: no stinky cheeses in a cramped indoor reception space). Cheese Bar hosts live Cheesemonger Stations where a guru will educate your guests on the assortment and keep it looking fresh throughout your soiree. Or, for the ultimate lactose-loving couple, they’ll craft a tiered wedding cake out of cheese wheels, showcasing beautiful rinds and flavors. Your guests will love saying cheese to something other than the camera.
