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.

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!

We got married at Porta in September 2024, I cannot praise this team enough! Chandler and Karina truly went above and beyond for us. They were not pushy with any add ons, they were honest with us, and most importantly they made us feel taken care of. The day of team was super attentive (shout out Elizabeth!) and the food was absolutely delicious. The florist they used did such an amazing job! The Porta team made our wedding planning process so easy. I cannot recommend them enough!!
