Panora, IA
  • Up to 125 guests
  • Select services
  • Outdoor

Beautiful lake front venue in small town Panora, Iowa. We do outdoor wedding ceremonies with the capability to move inside or rent an outdoor tent with notice. Buffet style menu that is diverse and customizable. Attached to a 22 room hotel with outdoor pool. Some wedding packages include hotel stays as well.

The Port is a staple in this small community. No one else has the view or the quality of food and service. The venue is gorgeous and the staff is kind and accommodating. Everything was very smooth and stress free. I recommend this place all the time.
