Praise
“Thank you so much to everyone at Urban Studio & Pearl Catering for all that you did at Tamara and Davide’s wedding on 9/16/11! Via was so great to work with and always quick to return my emails or phone calls. I appreciate her creativity and flexibility throughout planning. On the wedding day, everyone was completely on the ball. The servers were incredibly helpful and friendly, the food was delicious and all the guests (including our bride and groom!) were nothing less than thrilled. Thanks so much for all your help and I look forward to the next event together!” -Nora Sheils, Bridal Bliss & A List Events
“I have been planning events and weddings for over 14 years, and every single time I attend or throw an event at Urban Studio, I am simply blown away by the incredible service that Pearl Catering provides. When guests are actually stopping …in the midst of their party to mention to their friends what an excellent bartender they have or how incredible the service is, you know you have truly captured the essence of exceptional service. I recommend this venue absolutely. You will not be disappointed!” -Christina Safford with Muse Event Planning

Amanda Jenson’s Wedding| February 24, 2011
“I was extremely impressed by the professionalism of the staff the night of my event! Many venues provide well-trained staff that are courteous and professional, but Urban Studios staff was uniquely accommodating, friendly, caring and respectful not only to their clients, but to the vendors as well. They made me feel like one of the guests rather than “just another photographer” and I found myself wanting to stay and “hang out” with them after my job was over!” – Darci VandenHoek, Kazuri Images
Jackson Middle School Fundraiser | February19, 2011
“Once again, Urban Studio staff are one of the greatest assets we have for our fundraiser. They blew me away again this year! Jason anticipates needs before we even know we have them. He is such a terrific guy, low-key, friendly, competent, reliable, I could go on and on. He is a great problem-solver and never seems to lose his cool. The food and drinks were lovely, the space was terrific in every way! Via was there on Monday when I picked up the keg and she is delightful and helpful and helped me carry the keg out to my car. All in all, I will again recommend you to anyone who will listen. I am of the firm opinion that Urban Studio is the best event venue in Portland.” – Maggie Behrens , Jackson Middle School – Auction Co-Chair
