Great Hotel !!! They are very customer service oriented and very accommodating on all levels. This was one of 3 hotels posted on the wedding web site. We had 70% of the guests picked this hotel to stay. From rehearsal dinner, after wedding party and morning brunch, this hotel and staff were both professional and caring to all of the guests and entire wedding party.

From our first meeting with The Portland Regency, nothing was short of awesome! They made our wedding perfect in every way. They went out of their way to make sure everything was great. The food was delicious, the service was amazing, our guest had a great time and our room was so cool! They made us feel like we were the most important guests and that our wedding was the only thing that mattered. Even though the hotel was fully booked for that weekend! We had a very small wedding so I figured it was no big deal but we truly felt so special. Having our intimate wedding with the Portland regency was the best part of the wedding! Denise was our wedding coordinator and she was there morning, noon and night to make sure everything was going perfectly. They even made us a ice cream cake(the groom's favorite)! David and Sam were who we talked to and planned the wedding with and every time I talked to them they were so nice and helpful! I am so happy we chose The Regency! Thank you all for your hard work! Looking forward to staying there every time I visit portland!

I am so happy that I chose to have my wedding at The Portland Regency. The location was perfect for us, as we are in love with our city of Portland, and The Regency is right in the...

heart of the old port.mit was also perfect for our guest, both those that came from out of town, and those local. Our guests from out of town were thrilled to stay right downtown and have access to all that portland offers. From the first meeting with Samantha (sales coordinator) to the day of the wedding, she handled everything with ease. I had tons of questions and changed my mind several times, but it was never a problem. The hotel was so accommodating- we were allowed to set up early so there was no stress the day of. Denise was so helpful on the day of the rehearsal- we had no idea what we were doing, but she guided us through so the ceremony went down seamlessly. The reception was perfect- guest are still talking about how good the food was, and the servers were so professional and friendly. The hotel rooms are so comfortable and beautiful. All of our guests who stayed were more than happy with their accommodations. I still can't believe that we were able to afford such a beautiful and elegant wedding!

We booked a room block at The Portland Regency for our wedding across the street and were extremely pleased! Winslow was great to work with and was very accommodating and responsi...

ve. The hotel met all of our requests, from bringing more chairs to the room to have hair/makeup done, to allowing our photographer to valet her car. The ambiance was great and the food in the restaurant was wonderful too. We also hosted an unofficial after-party following our wedding in the bar downstairs and it was a great time!!

hat we would find it in one of the top ten best historic hotels in the USA at a price that we could afford. Throughout the whole process we felt that our opinions and desires were completely understood and respected. Sales coordinator, Winslow Ross and Banquet Manager, Denise Ross were everything we could have asked for and more. Their participation was vital in the success of the biggest day of our lives.

I was unbelievable happy with how the Portland Regency handled my wedding. They didn't miss a detail! I would consider myself to be a very stressed out bride before the "I Do". Bo...

th Cindy and Denise were great. They handled all the catering, decorating, and organizing for the day. They made sure all my vendors had access when they needed it and everyone was where they were supposed to be. When ever there was an issue, they would quickly get my input if needed, then handle it. All I needed to do was show up and enjoy my Big day! I even lost my officiant 2 days before my wedding, they took care of that too! The food and service at the reception was excellent, my guests were very happy. I really can't say enough and I am so happy I had my wedding & reception there!
