Nestled beneath a canopy of century-old trees, the OO Howard House offers a timeless and elegant setting for unforgettable events, including outdoor bridal and baby showers, corporate gatherings, garden parties, and wedding ceremonies. Surrounded by beautifully maintained lawns, a blooming rose garden, and a paved courtyard, this historic home provides a stunning backdrop for any occasion.
The north lawn is perfect for ceremonies, the rose garden lends itself beautifully to intimate garden parties, and the courtyard, with tables and chairs included, is ideal for outdoor celebrations, dining, or receptions. Lawn space wraps around the entire home, offering flexibility and charm in every direction. The venue’s wraparound porch adds even more space and serves as a covered retreat—perfect for the Pacific Northwest’s unpredictable weather.
Inside, the Conference Room can be transformed into a convenient and stylish complement to your outdoor event. It’s perfect as a staging area for catering, a setup space for your bar, a gift drop-off zone, or a quiet lounge for guests who need a break from the festivities. The room opens directly onto the courtyard, creating a seamless indoor-outdoor flow.
The Conference Room is also available to rent on its own, comfortably seating up to 25 guests for meetings. It features a built-in 75″ TV—ideal for presentations, workshops, or hybrid gatherings.
With its graceful blend of natural beauty, historic charm, and flexible event spaces, the OO Howard House is the perfect outdoor venue for gatherings that are as memorable as they are meaningful.
