Navarra Gardens truly is a hidden gem. My husband and I booked this venue for our September wedding and it was everything we could have asked for. It was the first and ONLY venue my husband and I toured and we knew immediately that it was perfect for us. Karen was extremely helpful and we were impressed with the number of rentals available from her. The accommodations on site were also very helpful, as my bridesmaids and I were able to stay on the property the night before. The only negative experience I had was occasionally not having clear communication via email with Karen. At times, certain details would get mixed up or misinterpreted, which caused me some stress. However, I had read some reviews before booking the venue that also mentioned this, so I was not surprised. In the end, everything worked out perfectly and these miscommunications did not affect the wedding day. If you are looking for a beautiful venue, I would absolutely recommend Navarra Gardens!

My husband and I got married at the Portland Yacht Club last month and we were thrilled with our choice of venue. The staff were friendly, responsive, and was a pleasure to work with throughout the planning process. They communicated promptly about details and last minute changes, which we really appreciated during such a hectic time. The location right on the water was beautiful and made for a romantic backdrop. Our guests raved about the delicious meal and many said it was one of the best wedding dinners they had enjoyed. The space itself was elegant yet comfortable, with large windows to showcase the views and a great dance floor. We felt it all came together seamlessly on our big day thanks to Asia, the Events and Sales Manager and her attention to detail.
