If we could give The Envio in Portsmouth, NH, ten stars, we would! Our wedding experience here was nothing short of perfect, and it's all thanks to the exceptional team and venue. The space and venue itself were amazing, and the food was delicious. But what truly set The Envio apart was the unparalleled service provided by their wedding coordinator, Katryn, and the Envio's entire staff. From our initial consultation to the final moments of our reception, Katryn went above and beyond to ensure every detail was perfect. Katryn and her team were so dedicated to ensuring that our day went smoothly, and our wedding day was perfect! Not only did Katryn excel in her role as a coordinator, but she also served as a source of support and reassurance throughout the planning process, offering her expertise and managing every detail we didn't even think of.
Thanks to Katryn and the entire team at The Envio, our wedding day exceeded all expectations. If you're searching for the perfect wedding venue with exceptional service, look no further!!
Envio is a wonderful location in Portsmouth for a wedding. Katryn and her staff provide a beautiful service for the day. The food is delicious. My guests were so impressed with the appetizers and end of wedding snacks. I highly recommend this venue for all in one weddings!
I'm so happy we chose the Envio for our wedding venue! Every detail was so amazing that it's hard to choose a place to start. The location is perfect and the food was amazing! Practically every guest complimented the food and the fact that it was hot when served! Even the cheese display was complimented! The staff was incredible. I can't believe how well they handled our decorations for us. The place is so beautiful too that you really don't need many! Katryn was an amazing wedding director for us. She thought of all the details and kept us on track. They were so easy to work with and it's so convenient that everything is included right with what you need. A one stop shop basically that is also priced super fairly considering the prices in the wedding market. I would totally book them for another event in the future and I'll be back to the rooftop bar and restaurant in the meantime!! I can't praise them enough!! Thank you Katryn and the Envio team!
Any questions?
My daughter's wedding at the Envio, exceeded my expectations. Ever thing from check in to wedding to check out was absolutely amazing.
Katryn and her team were so very attentive to every detail. The food was amazing, everyone raved about it being the best wedding food they have ever had. Thank you so much Envio... I would HIGHLY recommend this venue.
We couldn’t be happier with everything about The Envio. All the staff were wonderful. Katryn was so helpful and answered all our questions leading up to the wedding. Everything was so organized and went so smoothly. The food was delicious and we were told by so many of our guests how much they enjoyed the food. Would absolutely recommend this venue to anyone! 10/10
We can’t say enough about how perfect the Envio was for our wedding in July! Katryn, Alex and their team were amazing and we couldn’t have done it without them. Katryn was extremely helpful from the very beginning, always quick to reply to all of my questions and emails. The service and the staff were exceptional, and the entire Envio team took such good care of us and our guests. The food was AMAZING, and our guests are still talking about it. The outdoor balcony was perfect for our cocktail hour and reception! We truly couldn’t have asked for anything more. Choosing the Envio as our venue was the best decision we made!
We decided to have our ceremony and reception at the Envio and rooms at the AC for the weekend. Everything was amazing, beautiful, food was absolutely delicious and Katry Treamer made everything seamless!
We had our wedding at The Envio on June 2nd, 2023 and could not possibly say enough good things about the experience. From the moment we booked our date a year prior, Katryn was incredibly helpful and always responsive over email (which helped quell my anxiety as a bride and answer my never-ending questions/concerns!). We really enjoyed the intimate tasting, and appreciated that Katryn was hands on in guiding everyone at the rehearsal. When we pulled up to the hotel the day before our wedding, the staff was ready and waiting to unload all of our decor from the car and took care of all the welcome bags, etc. We didn't have to worry about a thing! Katryn even allowed me and my bridesmaids to get ready in one of the small conference rooms that didn't happen to be booked since I had 8 girls (so our hotel room bathroom wasn't big enough). She also made sure we had a fun signature mocktail since my husband, his parents, and several other family members don't drink alcohol. All of our guests raved about the food, the ambiance, and how attentive staff were throughout the reception. Weddings can be stressful but rest assured that you'll be in GREAT hands here at The Envio! 10/10!
Wow just wow! The Envio was by far the best location for our wedding this June - Katryn and the entire staff did an amazing job in making sure everything went smoothly for us the day of the wedding. All of our guests raved about the food and drinks. The deck space was perfect for guests who wanted to step out and get some air and the hall was large enough to fit all 150 of our guests. If you are looking for an elegant venue in downtown Portsmouth, this is your place!
We got married at the Envio on May 6 after 1.5 years of planning. The coordinator, Katryn, is amazing at her job and made everything easy to understand along the way. In our opinion the Envio is a great value for the area. All of our guests enjoyed their stay at the hotel, as well as the wedding itself from the contemporary design of the event space to the food and beverage!
Before booking The Envio, we had seen and heard great things! When starting our hunt for the perfect venue, we needed to ensure certain requirements: great food, convenience, modern look, flexibility, amazing staff. The Envio checked off all the boxes! We worked with Katryn and Alex, who are absolute All Stars! They were super accommodating and thorough every step of the way. They made sure we didn't miss a beat. All of our guests raved about how our wedding was the best they've ever experienced. And that is largely due to The Envio team showing them a great experience. Often times as the wedding couple, you don't know exactly what you want when it comes to certain details. Katryn and Alex were both able to make great suggestions, which helped our decision making overall. The food, was amazing from the past apps, to the stations, to the main course. Bar service, incredible. It had everything our guests needed. Hotel rooms, super modern, bright and clean! We loved how easy it was to get from the room block to the function area. You are in great hands when booking with The Envio team. Don't look anywhere else. This is your spot!
We absolutely could not recommend The Envio more. Katryn, Alex, and the whole staff (from coordination to day-of service) were incredible. Katryn thought of every single detail and made planning as fun and easy as possible. Our guests were raving about everything from the aesthetic to the food to the kindness of the staff. For anyone looking for an all-in-one indoor location, look no further. The Envio has everything you need for ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception and it’s attached to a gorgeous, newly built hotel. Plus, there is even a balcony guests can use (we were lucky enough to have a 75 degree November day for our wedding, so our guests were out there a lot!) Everything about the space is gorgeous, elegant, and sophisticated. The Envio made our day more than we could have dreamed.
My husband and I got married here in December of 2022. To say we were beyond impressed with the whole planning process and the event itself. Katryn & her team are so professional and guided us throughout the way from the planning process, tasting, and day of schedule. All of our guests feedback was all positive- from the outstanding food, beautiful modern event space, and attentive staff. We loved the idea of having our wedding at the Envio as guests who are staying in the hotel don’t have to travel far afterwards. We are so happy with how our special day turned out and would recommend the envio for any event without hesitation!
We had our wedding at the Envio this October and it was a great experience from beginning to end! Katryn was great to work with and answered all of our questions throughout the process with ease. The team's professionalism is unmatched! Katryn and Alex made sure that the reception was as smooth as can be despite last minute additions and changes to our seating/guests. The banquet staff also made sure there was a drink at all times on the sweetheart table and they came to us often to ask if we needed anything which was great! The horsdeouvers were amazing and had my guests raving. They can customize anything (even the food) to the way you want it and that's what made our wedding planning with them so effortlessly easy. Thank you to the Envio team for making our wedding day as perfect as we imagined!
From our first tour of the venue, to our individual tasting session in the venue space, to the professional planning forms and questionnaires that kept us on schedule, to Katryn and her team's availability and prompt responsiveness to both phone calls and emails, to their incredible flexibility and service in the weeks leading up to our big day on site the week leading up to the wedding our experience with the team at The Envio was beyond the extraordinary. Katryn and her team were the height of professionalism and made my wife and I so confident we had a terrific team behind us to make our wedding day special. We are not exaggerating when we say that in the week leading up to the wedding when they took charge of so many props, photos, signs, and all the other details that made our wedding unique it was as if the Envio team plucked pictures of what we wanted from our brains and made them reality. Gina and I cannot rave enough about how remarkable The Envio team was in making our vision come to life. If you are getting married in Porstmouth, want to be within walking distance of all the fun activities the downtown has to offer, have both an indoor and outdoor option for your cocktail hour and wedding reception, and want to make your Porstmouth wedding dream a reality you will find no better than The Envio!!!
The Envio was the perfect host for our New Years Eve wedding. Katryn was so helpful and responsive in the months of planning prior. The day of I was pre-occupied with getting myself and the bridal party ready, so I dropped off boxes of decorations (table cards, centerpiece items, cake decor, ect) and Katryn and her team set up the area beautifully. The service and food were excellent. The outside deck is a nice addition. It overlooks the water and was decorated tastefully with lights and furniture.
The location of the Envio is great for exploring Portsmouth as well with a short walk to bars, restaurants, and the water. The hotel was very accommodating to my guests (we booked about forty rooms with no problem, at a discounted rate).
In these days of COVID being a factor to take into account with such a big event, The Envio was very accommodating. Everything from the rooms to the venue were well cleaned. My guests had a wonderful time and were treated with great courtesy.
I cannot speak more highly of the Envio and of Katryn and her team. It was truly beautiful and a day I will cherish forever.
I had my wedding reception at The Envio in Portsmouth, NH and it was definitely the best day of my life! This venue has the best package options ever from plated dinners to buffets and premium open bar. There are so many ways to customize your day with linens, decor, signature cocktails and lighting that will make your day far from "cookie cutter". The entire hotel is very sleek and modern but the event floor is even more beautiful and also dynamic. Not only do you get a ballroom but you also get a hallway area with couches and an amazing terrace with cafe string lights. Having these various areas for my guests to sit and hangout was perfect, you can dance indoors and then step out to cool down and get some fresh air on the balcony... best of both worlds! I worked with Katryn Treamer, she answered all of my many questions and she made sure every detail came to life, down to making sure I still got to try the appetizers even though I was out taking photos during cocktail hour to helping me bustle my dress before I made my entrance! I would definitely recommend The Envio.
I would highly recommend the AC hotel, Katryn And her staff were amazing to work with, the hotel and the hotel rooms are gorgeous. The food was delicious cost is reasonable . My guests absolutely loved it we couldn’t have asked for a better day. I am thankful that during these trying times with Covid that they were willing to accommodate all of my requests and I honestly had the best day ever.
The Envio at the AC Hotel was exceptional!! We had our wedding in June 2021 after having to move our date and venue from March 2021 due to COVID. We loved everything about the venue and hotel. Our guests were so happy with both as well. It was so convenient having the hotel connected to the venue!!! We did our ceremony at the venue, so no travel, no hot buses!! Katryn was the best and she made wedding planning a breeze especially during COVID! Katryn went above and beyond and answered all our questions in a timely manner! This venue will honestly help you with almost any request (within reason)! By booking the Envio you will guarantee yourself stress free planning! We also loved that they recommended small businesses in the area for florist etc. The cake was included in the package and also done by a small business.
The Envio & Katryn are incredible... The entire team is. Everything was fantastic all around. We have absolutely nothing but amazing things to say. Working with Katryn was a breeze. She was so responsive and prompt. She answered my many questions and emails with grace and ease. Just lovely! The food was excellent, the staff was so kind, the venue space was absolutely beautiful. We TRULY couldn't have asked for anything more.
I have nothing but glowing things to say about Katryn and The Envio. If I could give 1000 stars I would. Being a couple getting married in the pandemic, we faced a lot of challenges. One major challenge being we had to move our wedding from Massachusetts to New Hampshire about 3.5 months prior to our wedding due to extremely strict covid policies in MA. We decided to move everything up to NH, where the policies were a bit more lenient. We ended up having 65 guests total, scaled back from 180 due to coronavirus.
As soon as we toured The Envio, we were sold. It is a dream. The space is brand new, and super modern. It is the exact vision I was looking for- super classy, elegant, and just perfect for our formal March wedding. It is also connected to the AC Marriott hotel which was a huge plus for us and easy for our guests! I stayed in the gorgeous Executive Suite which was spacious and large enough to accommodate my huge bridal party for hair and makeup. The cocktail hour pre-function space also has a connecting outdoor terrace which overlooks stunning downtown portsmouth views. :) The ballroom is huge and absolutely stunning!!!! Not to mention the food and cocktails were out of this world good. My family and friends can't stop raving about it!
My experience with Katryn, our event coordinator with The Envio, was phenomenal. We probably exchanged hundreds of emails over the 3.5 months of planning, and she always answered all of my questions in a very timely fashion, always so kind and willing to help me. Even with my silliest of questions/concerns! Katryn, we can't thank you enough- you really saved our wedding!
I could go on and on- look no further than The Envio to hold your wedding. This space is perfect for any season, & any size wedding. I can't think of a more perfect New England destination for a wedding than downtown Portsmouth!
I got married at The Envio in October 2020 and my experience was nothing but positive! Being a COVID bride had it's many challenges and 3 months before my wedding day I found myself re-planning everything, including a new venue. I am so blessed because that led me to The Envio. The staff were simply amazing and Katryn was beyond pleasant to work with. She was very kind, professional, and had a level of expertise that made me feel at ease throughout the process. I am so grateful for her! As far as the venue is concerned, I don't have a single negative thing to say. The cocktail space, balcony and ballroom are all beautiful with a clean modern look that got so many compliments. Being part of a hotel (which is also so nice) is a huge plus, they have an awesome restaurant/bar, and you can't beat the location of Portsmouth. I took pictures at the Great Island Common about 10 minutes outside of Portsmouth and that spot is breathtaking (also recommend). Despite the pandemic, there isn't a thing about my wedding day that I would change, and that is in large part to the effort and support of The Envio. I am forever grateful, and will certainly be back soon for a visit!
My Husband and I had got engaged last year and planned a NYE 2020 wedding prior to COVID changing everything. We originally had a our wedding planned in a totally different state and obviously venue, but we ended up changing all of our plans. We had looked at the Envio before, but they were not available on our date and we had a much larger guest list planned at the time. One thing led to another and we canceled our 1st wedding plans and started over. We chose the Envio and met with Katryn and she was absolutely wonderful from the very beginning! Things were extremely challenging while planning a COVID wedding, but Katryn, the Chef, really everyone truly made it a great experience. We got married on New Years Eve 2020 with our closest family and friends and we had the best day. The space is absolutely stunning and with a little extra effort, added decor, and rented gold chairs, the space was exactly what I had imagined for our special day. It was so warm, elegant, and just stunning! I would absolutely recommend the Envio to anyone looking for an amazing wedding weekend venue! Our family and friends enjoyed their hotel stay, the wedding, and the weekend following! It was so wonderful. They did such a great job working with us and making our vision come true! A very special thank you to Katryn for being so warm, empathetic, helpful, and just amazing the whole process! Also, a special thank you to the chef for creating the perfect entree menu for us and working with us! Everyone is still talking about how EVERYTHING was the most amazing wedding food they've ever had! He is truly an incredibly talented chef! Thank you for our perfect day!
During COVID 2020 unfortunately was when my now Husband and I were scheduled to get married and that made things challenging for all couples, venues, and vendors...The Envio was the Venue we chose for the wedding reception and we could not have been happier with them! Katryn was our coordinator for the entire weekend and she was so nice, flexible, and understanding throughout everything! She was phenomenal! After having to move our reception to this location in June for our August wedding, Katryn was outstanding and the whole reception and wedding weekend was even better than we could have imagined! All of our guests had a fantastic time and had nothing but good things to say about their experience at the reception in the Envio Ballroom and at the AC Hotel (where the Envio is located). Not only was the event as a whole great, the food was delicious as well! We would highly recommend The Envio/ AC Hotel and working with Katryn to anyone looking for a beautiful ballroom/ hotel wedding venue and reception location!
