Above and beyond any expectations
We could not be happier that we picked Porta as our wedding venue. The process was so easy, they have so many different options for packages of food and alcohol, and everything was phenomenal. We got so many good reviews of the food and the service. They set up the tables beautifully and when we got there earlier for the wedding we got a sneak peek of them setting up. Very efficient and I did not have to adjust anything. I dropped off all of our stuff in the morning and they set it all up beautifully. Karina helped us finalize all of our details and was so accommodating and easy to get in touch with. Elizabeth - we could not say enough good things about. She was on top of EVERYTHING the whole night and made us feel so taken care of. From set up, to making sure the procession went well, to getting us food and drinks all night, organizing the timeline, keeping everything clean, I don’t think we saw her stop going all night. She was incredible. We did not have one worry and she made sure everything was packed up and ready to go for us at the end, including all the extra food for our guests. She even saved us a piece of our wedding cake. Above and beyond - cannot say enough great things about this experience. We’re so happy! If you’re thinking of this venue, DO IT. You won’t regret it.
Porta is the best
Porta was a fantastic choice for our wedding venue. From the very beginning, their communication was excellent - they were responsive and quick to answer any questions we had. The space itself is really great, with a hip, eclectic vibe that perfectly suited our style. On the day of the wedding, the Porta team was incredibly organized and helpful, ensuring everything ran smoothly so we could just focus on enjoying the celebration. We're so glad we chose Porta to host our special day.
Amazing Venue
Porta was an absolute dream to work with for our Halloween wedding! Their communication was always quick, clear, and timely, which was so helpful during the busy planning process. The team went above and beyond to accommodate our guests' dietary restrictions and made the set up and clean up process a breeze. The handle everything from florals, cake and decor. The quality of their work was truly magical - the space they transformed for our big day was dramatic and fun, setting the perfect mood for our spooky celebration. We couldn't have asked for a better wedding venue. Porta made our special day feel truly one-of-a-kind. It also reasonably priced compared to other venues.
Best decision ever
This was one of the best nights of my life. The team at Porta really brought my unique vision to life. Everyone who knows me knows this is my vibe. The Abbot Room was pristine, the food was delicious and the service was outstanding. Anybody looking do something a little different, this is your place!
