Porta Montclair

I cannot possibly say enough about our wedding this past weekend at Porta Montclair. First off, Brielle is an absolute rock star of a human being. She was incredibly responsive and helpful all year, and was thrilled to entertain and execute on any idea we brought to the table. She welcomed and collaborated with our vendors and went above and beyond to ensure every personal touch we wanted was accounted for. Our guests raved about the food (when does that happen at weddings these days?), the aesthetic, and overall vibes. Diane, Brielle's designated day-of coordinator, was top tier. I literally had guests coming up to me to compliment her service. We also contracted with Porta's house DJ (Chris Spirito) who totally crushed it. We wanted to get a little fancy with our first dances and he went out of his way to produce mixes that helped us genuinely entertain our crowd. Finally, to get to have your own personal wedding marquee?! It doesn't get much better than that. One particularly picky (but lovely) friend of ours called our wedding a 20/10 — if that doesn't say it all, I don't know what does. So for those seeking a North Jersey, Italian-style wedding venue with a lot of character that doesn't make you feel like you're going bankrupt, but still manages to deliver in every. conceivable. way. look no further. TLDR; many of our 110 guests are still texting us about how "epic" it was, days later.

We had our reception here last weekend and we as well as all of our guests LOVED it. It was such a unique place to throw the party and exactly what we were looking for. Staff was very attentive with everything a well. Highly recommend - especially as a non traditional option.
