The staff were so kind and helpful. The venue ran incredibly smoothly and I loved that we were able to do everything all in one place. The transition of the downstairs space from c...
eremony to reception during the hour-long cocktail hour was so smooth and quick, we were even able to take some family photos during that time. The only downside to this venue is that during the months leading up to our event, Port393 expanded several of their services, which is great, but it made things confusing for us during the planning process. While I can appreciate them adding dishware services and increased decor services, it made things more expensive for us in some ways or more complicated as we had to work with our vendors to figure out who should supply what. Port did allow us to keep the contracts with our established vendors, which ended up being cheaper. Hopefully their added services don't make this venue too expensive for some.
We got married here in August 2025 and truly magical day! We did pay for the VIP package we included our 6 month planning assistance and day of coordinator (Danielle who was an abs...
olute gem to work with). The venue was beautiful the staff was kind and professional the whole night! We even drank the bar out of a specific beer and they went out and bought more, instead of saying “ sorry its out”. Danielle and the staff did all of our set up and clean up and packed everything up in car at the end of the night allowing our family and friends to truly enjoy our day. The cove house a beautiful space for getting ready with plenty of room for people to spread out.
We got married at Port 393 in June of 2024. While our wedding day itself was beautiful and the Cove House space was wonderful, working with this venue in the lead-up was an incredi...
bly stressful and disappointing experience.
From the very beginning, the team was rigid, inflexible, and difficult to work with. They didn’t convey any sense that they understood how important this day was to us. Instead, it often felt like we were burdening them with our wedding. Every interaction seemed to drain the joy out of the planning process, and they were the only vendor that consistently made things harder, not easier.
Communication was frustrating; emails contained numerous misspellings and were confusing, which didn’t inspire confidence when we were trying to navigate their already dense and harsh contract language. I constantly felt like I was walking on eggshells, and was scared of violating some contract clause. The stress of having to scour the contract before every conversation was exhausting and took away from what should have been an exciting time.
One recurring and unprofessional theme was their repeated justification of inflexible policies or surprise costs by saying how much money they’ve invested in the venue without passing it on to clients. The reality is: we’re paying for a service, and that’s fine—we expect that. But to imply that they’re somehow doing clients a favor while also raising bar prices twice between contract signing and the wedding, increasing rental fees, and reducing event space time in exchange for Cove House usage (which they framed as “included”) was difficult to swallow.
It’s a shame, because the venue itself is lovely and our wedding day did turn out amazing. But if I could go back, I’d seriously reconsider whether the added stress and poor client experience was worth it. The planning process should be joyful, and unfortunately, this venue made that part much harder than it needed to be.
Our wedding day was absolutely PERFECT at Port 393. We got married in June 2025 and had the wedding day of our dreams. The venue team was great to work with, especially our coordin...
ator Tiffany. We worked with her for 6 months leading up to our wedding and on our wedding day she was always present, helpful, and made the day flow perfectly. She was very helpful for all aspects of wedding planning and her attention to detail is impeccable. If anything went wrong on our wedding day we simply didn’t know about it because she took care of it for us, from the set up to the tear down at the end of the evening. The venue offers many different packages and decor to choose from so you are able to customize everything to the way you would like it. The venue team is very accommodating and great for making recommendations for vendors as well. When we first saw our reception space set up on our wedding day our jaws dropped because of how perfect everything looked. The bartenders were phenomenal and many of our guests complimented how kind the staff was. The location was great, we had many guests from out of state stay for a long weekend in Holland. Our guests loved being able to visit the town and shop around and head over to the beach as well. The bridal /groom suite was the perfect place for us to get ready in and spend some quality time with our bridesmaids and groomsmen before the wedding began. There are also an abundant amount of photo opportunities at the venue itself. We highly recommend getting married at Port 393!
Overall amazing venue! Beautiful space, and the staff, especially Heather, our day of coordinator, was phenomenal. Out wedding day was smooth and well organized and so much fun!
Our wedding reception at Port 393 this past May was excellent. We loved the flexibility of the venue and appreciated the support offered with the VIP package. Our wedding coordin...
ator, Tiffany, was delightful to work with and truly made our special day one to remember. As a part of our package, we had monthly planning sessions, which we could attend virtually or in-person. The meeting agenda topics (e.g. day of timeline, vendors, etc.) were helpful and allowed us to efficiently work through planning details. Tiffany was solution oriented, organized, and clearly had strong rapport with a wide range of vendors in the area. For decor and table settings, we appreciated being able to rent a wide range of products (e.g. candles, lighting, linens, etc.) straight from the venue, which eased our planning. The team helped bring our decor dreams to life and I appreciated their ability to seamlessly execute our event. We felt totally at ease on our special day, in large part due to the trust we had with the team. Highly recommend!
Our wedding at Port 393 was the best day ever. Heather Rich was our coordinator and we received so many compliments from guests on her professionalism and how well the entire day m...
oved. I would highly recommend including the coordination package they offer. I can’t say enough about how smooth our day was - it was absolutely perfect. The entire team at Port 393 was professional, courteous, kind, welcoming, helpful….10/10 team.
The amount of compliments we received at our wedding this past April was amazing! Between the venue itself, the organization, the details and decor, etc. We chose Port 393 for the ...
location, vibe, and cost. We went with the VIP+ package which included a 6 month and day-of coordinator, and then some - it was SO worth it! Having Tiffany as our coordinator helped the planning process and made the day-of so smooth.
Something we loved about Port is their rental decor. I didn't want to be stuck with a bunch of wedding decor that I'll never use again. On top of that, the decor is gorgeous!!! It was such a dream being able to see my vision come to life with everything that Port offered. Having an on-site bar was a huge plus for us too so that we didn't have to find another vendor for that.
I highly recommend having your wedding or any event here. Everyone is so kind, helpful, and will make sure you're treated like royalty!
The venue was so beautiful and the wedding turned out amazing, but I have never met a more inflexible company in my life. If you don’t pay the extra $1.7k (on top of the rental fee...
and all other fees) for the “vip package” they are so unhelpful. If you do not get the vip package, they do not do anything but the basic set up and the bar service. After our final review meeting, I noticed something was missed and I was told it would be an extra $50 just to reopen our account and add a rental they forgot to add in the first place. If you want both bars open all night you have to have 3 bar tenders on staff which costs $75 per hour per bartender, but halfway through our reception, they closed the upstairs bar without asking us or our point person and the 3rd bartender was nowhere to be found. When we asked about it they lied and said the bar was open it was just a “shift change.” But, this shift change included capping all the taps and taking down all the bar signage. Lastly, because our ceremony did not take as long as planned, they closed the bar 20 minutes early and would not budge, even when we offered to pay more to keep it open. I would NOT recommend this venue only because of the owners insane rules and inflexibility. The staff were very pleasant and the bartenders were top notch, but you could tell they were scared to do anything even slightly wrong.
Context for our big day: it POURED all day long. My now husband and I planned for our ceremony to be on the terrace, the morning of we had to make a decision we were hopeful the ra...
dar was correct and it would be done raining by the time of our ceremony - that was not the case. 45 minutes prior to our ceremony start time my husband and Heather came to me with a plan C and they pulled it off! It ended up being absolutely beautiful even though it wasn't what we originally planned I wouldn't have it any other way. Heather was AMAZING, from our conversations during the planning to the day of. She amazed us and blew any expectations we had right out of the water. She made everything so much less stressful, was realistic, and also such a positive, kind presence to have around all day. Every staff member we worked with was so kind, helpful, and excited to be there. We could not have imagined having our big day anywhere else and if we had to do it all over again we would pick Port 393 a million times over.
We just attended a wedding at Port 393 and the venue was fantastic. The rooftop area was perfect for ceremony and cocktail hour. I believe there was about 170 people there and it f...
it us very comfortably and could see larger or smaller weddings enjoy that space as well. The staff were all helpful and professional and there was never a line at the bar or anything coming up that they weren't prepared for. I would recommend this venue to anyone in the area.
Absolutely amazing experience - the venue is beautiful and the staff is awesome. They are true professionals who make the whole experience a joy. The decorations and tables were se...
t up perfectly the day of. Their rental catalog is fairly extensive and convenient to use. The acoustics in the space were good, not too loud, and guests that wanted to have quieter conversations or play cards could do so in the upstairs lounge. I got so many compliments on how beautiful everything looked and how kind the staff was.
Port 393 hosted our dream wedding. Candice and Christianna were a dream team. Candice from the beginning had so much enthusiasm and made us so excited for the event. Christianna do...
ubled as our venue manager and event coordinator and she was so prompt, detail oriented, and was a force to be reckoned with the day of. Not all hero’s wear capes. We would not have had our wedding anywhere else!
If you want to have a wedding to remember this is the place for you!
The owners of Port 393 are truly a power couple and great to work with. They put together an awesome team who a...
re not only professional but friendly who go above and beyond to make sure your vision comes to life and your day goes flawlessly. This venue is gorgeous and very well taken care from top notch security cameras to a upstairs patio with beautiful live greenery.
If you have not visited Port393 and met Candice yet, you are missing out! This venue is absolutely stunning and the owner’s heartfelt story and passion for weddings is unlike any ...
other. Candice is so bubbly and fun and the staff she hires is just the same. From our first tour through the end of our wedding night, we felt so welcomed. We had the opportunity to work with a few different managers during our 2 year engagement but Molly and Christianna helped finalize all of our big day details. They had everything narrowed down to a T, making it a perfect night. All of our guests raved about the how beautiful Port is and how much they loved the chance to have the upstairs patio all night. Ps. They’re champagne club is to die for - it is a must if you have not gone yet. Getting to know other couples who were getting married or have been married there and the staff at Port was so fun!
Port 393 was a huge factor in making our wedding day one of the best days of our life. From the day we visited until the day of our wedding, we felt an overwhelming sense of warmth...
and excitement. You get a beautiful rooftop and an elegant reception hall, all while being minutes away from breathtaking photo opportunities. We were so blessed to work with Kyle Knoll throughout the planning process and on the day of our wedding. My husband and I did not have to worry about a thing on our special day because Kyle was always on top of it to the point where she made sure we had a drink in our hand if we wanted one. Port 393 is special because it is a beautiful venue, but especially because the Port 393 team has passionate, kind, and thoughtful people.
Our day of coordinator, Rachel, was great! She made our big day stress free! We are so thankful for all the hard work she put in to help us plan our wedding from across the country...

From the very moment (and I kid you not) we walked into Port 393, we knew this would be the place we wanted to have our wedding reception. Candice went above and beyond to make our...
first tour special and made it feel so much easier and more inviting than any other reception venue we had looked at. That alone could have been what kept us at Port 393 – but that was just the tip of the iceberg. The venue is beautiful and the ability to have something modern and customizable really sets it above the competition. Throughout the night, there were so many comments that the staff was incredible and I think that falls on the immaculate environment Candice has created.
Last but definitely not least, we need to have a special section for Molly, our event coordinator. From the beginning, she went out of our way to make our entire weekend unforgettable. Whether it was coordination between vendors, design ideas, timelines, pictures, rehearsal dinner plans, ceremony plans, the occasional dirt on the shirt during wedding pictures (thanks Molly!), she did it all. We both came out of the weekend counting our blessings that we had you with us during this entire process. We cannot begin to thank you enough.
10/10 would recommend Port 393. Don’t think about, just do it and be as happy as we are.

We got married at Port 393 in October 2021, and absolutely loved our experience! We felt so taken care of, and loved having the option to rent items for our reception directly from...
the vendor. We worked with Lauren, and she truly went ABOVE AND BEYOND to make sure we had the best day. We hired her as a day-of coordinator, which was one of the best decisions we made in our planning process. Our guests really loved the space, and we really liked being able to have our ceremony and reception at the same location. Honestly, I would love to get married here again! Thanks Port 393!
Above and beyond. ABOVE 👏🏼 AND 👏🏼 BEYOND 👏🏼. Stop thinking about it and just book Port 393. I’m not kidding. Candace, Kiley, Lauren, the ENTIRE Port team will exceed your exp...
ectations. We planned our whole wedding in 5 months and it was truly more than I could have ever dreamed. Not only is it a beautiful space, they handle EVERYTHING. Don’t want to worry about set up or tear down? No worries! Port’s got it. Would rather set up your own decorations? Port can handle that too. I’m not kidding when I say that their commitment to your day is their top priority. Despite the fact that they are communicating with and trying to please hundreds of couples at once, they make you feel like you’re the only wedding they care about. It’s truly amazing. Almost unbelievable. Our guests had the time of their lives because of Port’s clean and prompt accommodations and services. We were MORE than well taken care of, and I can honestly say, I felt far less stress planning our wedding day because we worked with this incredible team.
Port 393 is the absolute BEST! Candice, Lauren and Kylie were ALL fantastic to work with and did SO much to make our day so perfect! From the very first time we toured Port, we kn...
ew that's where we wanted to say "I Do". The personable service all of their staff gives makes SUCH a difference! Every single detail of the venue is true perfection. We had our ceremony on the rooftop patio and all our guests were so impressed with how beautiful it was. Our reception was downstairs and we loved that we had the ability to choose our layout and utilize their amazing rental items. Port 393 is a one of a kind venue that is such a gem. We were so lucky to have been able to have our wedding at Port - we wish we could do it again and again!!! ;)
Leading up to the wedding, my husband and I had a difficult time communicating with the many staff members at this venue. We chalked it up to the timing with Covid-19 procedures ch...
anging, but our day-of contact was a woman my husband and I had never met before. Everything went off without a hitch and the venue was beautiful, we just wish the communication plan had been better.

ey made our experience wonderful. I highly recommend!
we could not have picked a better venue!! We will be forever thankful for this venue, the owners and employees who work there, and all the effort they put in to making our wedding ...
the most phenomenal day ever. Candice has such a huge heart and we loved being able to form a genuine connection with her throughout our time wedding planning. We love Port393 with all our hearts!
Port 393 was the perfect venue for our wedding! A year ago we met with Candice and she shared her vision for what she was going to make Port 393 and how she was going to make our w...
edding special. Believe me when I say, she did exactly that and more! She truly has your best interest in mind and will do everything in her power to make your event amazing. The venue itself is beautiful. With a bar both upstairs and downstairs, a beautiful balcony, and a grand staircase, this place truly is the perfect wedding venue and we would definitely recommend it to anyone!
Where do I even begin? Candice, Brian, Madi and their entire team treat you like royalty at Port 393. My husband and I knew with in 2 minutes of meeting with Candice that we were m...
eant to get married at Port. We also booked with them before they were even built and not once through the process were we nervous things wouldn't work out. Their communication is phenomenal and if you think you they will make it happen!
We just tied the knot on 8/29/2020 and it was nothing short of the most amazing, magical, stress free day any bride could ask for. You are not just booking a venue at Port 393 you are booking an entire team dedicated to make your wedding day the best day of your life. Their mission statement holds true and they will go above and beyond for you!
We also had the lovely pandemic get in our way, and yet it was still amazing! So, if Port 393 can accommodate during a global pandemic, just think of the magic they can create when you don't have to stand six feet apart!!
I will forever and always be grateful for the team at Port 393 and would recommend them for any and all events!! :)
