Emerge Event Collective’s Spring Gathering

On a bright spring day in late April, members of Portland's luxe wedding community donned their finest and gathered for convivial conversation and one-on-one connection during Emerge Event Collective’s dinner and networking event. Hosted at Clarklewis, an upscale eatery housed in a converted warehouse near Portland’s Central Eastside, the evening began with alfresco cocktails accompanied by beats from DJ Casey Kay. The party then moved upstairs to a private, light-filled room, where a long table adorned in a sophisticated palette of cream, black and charcoal, punctuated with simple glass vases of green and white florals, set the tone for the family-style dinner to come. A gorgeous fabric banner suspended from the ceiling transitioned into a table runner that, upon closer inspection, revealed a printed image of the Portland skyline, beginning with the majestic Mount Hood at the very top. The room buzzed with conversation as guests sipped and supped and enjoyed the company of their peers.
