Portofino Hotel & Yacht Club

Okay, not the cheapest place to have your wedding though I did have it slightly out of season, which made it better. However, it was absolutely gorgeous and so convenient. First off, with the hotel right there any out of town people can stay and just walk to the venue. Also, there are other hotels across the street for some alternatives. Most of my guests were out of town so a hotel along with the ceremony and reception location was key. I can't tell you how many people loved it. Everyone did!! It was a gorgeous hotel and the staff was so friendly. The ceremony and reception room overlook the harbor/marina which makes a great view and great pictures. The downfall was the event coordinator. I actually went through three throughout the year as I was planning it. I wasn't worried and everything turned out okay with the hotel being very accomodating but it was a bit frustrating to be shuffled around. Again, the manager of the group did make some accomodations due to the inconvenience surrounding the shuffling around so that was really nice of her to do. Again, everything went off without a hitch and nothing went wrong at all, which I was waiting for. Also the banquet staff for the reception was FABULOUS!! They were on it all night and taking care of everyone. They were also on top of making sure everything was set for us to take back as well. It truly is a fabulous location and if you don't need a super cheap spot I would definitely recommend the Portofino. It's perfect. Secluded. And everyone loved it!!

for wedding planning:

Travis was a wonderful wedding planner!!!!!!!!!! Too bad he was let go before our wedding date. the person who took his place was horrible in a big was. I hope the "FAT COW" is no longer employed by them.

We spent the wedding night here at this hotel. It's got a little balcony with nice ocean views. Service was nice, view was fantastic, but the room was pretty small and old.
