“Had the best wedding the portofino. It was beautiful and so easy and fun for our out of town guests. The venue was beautiful and the staff was so helpful, from planning through to the day off. Chris and Rain were great! Loved the getting ready rooms. Loved the reception on the lawn. Loved the views. Loved the food! We got lots of comments on the food being great and the bartenders being lightening fast. We’d choose portofino again if we could do it all over.”
