Rí Rá Irish Pub & Restaurant

Everything was amazing!

Everything about Ri Ra was amazing! I would highly recommend them if you are looking for a restaurant setting reception or event. We had a small ceremony at Portland City Hall with our immediate family and then had our reception upstairs at Ri Ra with about 100 guests. We rented out the entire upstairs space. The location is beautiful, with a great view of the water and boats. Most of our guests stayed at the Hilton across the street, so they were able to walk to the reception and everyone commented on how great of a location in Portland it was. The upstairs is already beautifully decorated so we just had tealight votives and bud vases with flowers for decor on the tables. We were also able to have a mix of large and small tables for dinner, which ended up working out great for us as opposed to each table having the same number of guests. The events manager, Tara, was great to work with from the moment we inquired and booked the space. She was always very helpful, communicative and friendly. The rest of the staff were also so friendly and did an amazing job at the event. They were constantly checking in with guests at dinner and the bar ran smoothly the entire night. As far as food goes, everything was delicious! So many of our guests told us they had great meals and were very impressed with the food. We had passed appetizers for cocktail hour and salad/dinner was served family style, the serving were generous and we had plenty of food. Most of our guests that needed food accommodations were vegan and gluten free, and many of our food choices already met that criteria, but Ri Ra was also very accommodating to other allergies, even with serving dinner family style. We did hire a wedding coordinator for the day of to help set up/break down decor for us, make sure our timeline ran smoothly and to coordinate with our DJ and photographer day of, which I would recommend for a larger event.
