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!

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!!

I had a little bit of a fear of planning a wedding and Chandler and her team easily squashed that. The venue is so unique and full of character that you don't need to do much to it and the rest, they took care of. We had both the ceremony and reception at Porta and were a little worried about everything being in one room. It all went so smoothly the day of and the outdoor space provided a lot of extra space. Chandler had amazing communication right from the start and answered every question I had. Each member of staff we encountered displayed the utmost professionalism while also being incredibly kind. The food was leaps and bounds above what is traditionally served at weddings. We truly had the time of our lives and a lot of that is due to Chandler and the rest of her team at Porta. Thank you!!!
