I am so grateful we decided to have our wedding at Los Portales. Oscar was great, he answered all our questions. He was our day of coordinator and made sure our day was perfect! He allowed us time the day before to do rehearsal and drop off decorations. The staff was incredibly attentive and kind. I highly recommend! A++

Just had my wedding at Los Portales in June and to say that it was everything I have ever dreamed of and more is truly an understatement. Every single interaction we had with any individual that worked at the venue made our experience that much better. From start to finish, our dreams became a reality before our very eyes. Oscar is incredibly professional, accommodating, intentional, kind, and just wonderful overall. He made our unique vision for our small wedding a possibility and still made it feel so special. Alvaro really was extremely helpful in helping us set everything up inside and brought our vision to life. Annabelle was the perfect coordinator that made my life so much less stressful during the wedding. We were blown away by every single thing from the food to the venue to the AMAZING staff. It felt like our needs were being met before we even realized we even needed anything on the day of our wedding. We truly could not have hoped or dreamed for anything more perfect for our once in a lifetime experience. If we could do it all again, we would 100% choose Los Portales as our venue. We were treated like family and we are left with the sweetest memories of such a sacred and monumental day. We cannot thank every single person at Los Portales enough for all they did on the day of our wedding and the weeks and months leading up to it as well. ¡Muchísimas gracias a todos! -Elena & Carter White

Los Portales is a beautiful place with wooden floors and venue can be held indoors or outdoors. They took care of us 100%. Dependable and courteous. You will not have to worry about anything. They make sure everything is at your fingertips. You will definitely feel classy and special here. Our Quinceañera event was far and beyond what we expected.

While researching wedding venues, my fiancé and I wanted to find a location that had real character. Though other venues may offer many different things, we really fell in love with Los Portales when we, luckily, came across it. The beautiful architecture and open landscaping made for the perfect location and backdrop for our Fall wedding. We also loved, and appreciated, the history and story behind the structure itself.
We are not local to the area but working with Oscar leading up to our wedding was extremely easy and left us very care-free. We had regular check-ins with him to ensure everything was progressing as planned. He also offered several helpful suggestions for local retailers that were knowledgable and reliable. Once it go to the week of our wedding, Alvaro was also a great deal of help with finalizing some of those last-minute details.
The serving staff were also fantastic. Throughout the evening, they made sure all guests had full glasses and were quick to clear tables when necessary. This was something we were not expecting, resulting in it being a very pleasant surprise.
Again, my fiancé (now wife) and I could not have been happier with the beautiful setting that the Los Portales venue provided for our special day.
Two suggestions for prospective couples considering having their wedding here:
- Request to meet with the day-of coordinator prior to the actual date of your wedding. This will definitely help to ensure they are aware of who each person in the wedding party is and who should be contacted if concerns come up.
- Share open communication with the DJ surrounding the songs, or specific music, you'd like to be played.
