“** you cannot edit your vendor Zola review and this is an edit to give our initial review 5 FIVE STARS** When we were looking for where to host our wedding reception an intimate unique setting that would be a great time with full open bar and great food was what we were looking for about 200. Staff was excellent day of. Food was wonderful guests said. Venue was beautiful for photos and weather behaved in January so we got to watch the sunset. Everything was amazing w Portofino. Price was excellent for what we got and in SoCal on the water venue “boutique hotel.” My only critique is doing room blocks and anything to do with their computer system accounting takes a second and is a little out dated takes two days or so- but I like to get things done or get emails asap so that’s just me. Other than that wonderful place will be going back to stay at hotel! Amazing reception! Exactly what we were looking for! Rain is also exceptionally friendly, patient and communicative so ask for him !”

“Havasu Springs Resort was the perfect choice for our wedding venue. From the very first interaction, the staff's communication was adaptive, receptive and they had great communication- they made the planning process a breeze. On the day of, the venue was simply stunning. The spacious, beautiful grounds along the lake were absolutely amazing, and the team went above and beyond to ensure our guests were comfortable, even golf carting them to the ceremony space to avoid the 108 degree heat in October. The staff truly treated us like family and were filled with gratitude to be hosting our special day. Our wedding day was flawless thanks to Havasu Springs Resort's incredible service and attention to detail. We couldn't have asked for a more perfect venue. We made the right choice with this venue.”
