“We had our wedding reception at Grace in April and it was absolutely perfect, we cannot recommend enough. The building is gorgeous, truly not requiring any added decor as it shines on its own. From the balcony, the massive stained glass windows, the huge bar, to every other detail; it is stunning. The ownership changed in the middle of our wedding planning which was stressful at the time, but genuinely made our day that much better. The new Grace team is incredible. Meghan was a surprise bonus wedding planner; proving us with great advice, doing everything she could to make our day perfect, and renovating Grace in record time before our day. Her and the team provided new paint, new tables, and perhaps best of all, new bridal and groomsmen suites that were the perfect place to get ready. If you are debating booking Grace, do it. It is beautiful, has a great dance floor, is in the perfect location walkable to everything Portland offers, and was such a smooth planning process.”

“I will try keep this short because I certainly could go on for hours about the benefits of this venue. From the moment we toured the Leavitt, we knew that no other venue would do. Older family members did not understand the vision at first, but continually came up to us throughout the wedding to say how blown away they were by it all. The venue is so beautiful that we saved tons of time and money on decor, opting for some bud vases & a few arrangements as well as DIYing movie posters and other small but powerful touches unique to a venue like this. The pièce de résistance of the Leavitt Theatre are the people behind it. The staff blew us away. Coordinator Nell knows the Leavitt like the back of her hand, the chef worked hard (& never once made us feel like a problem) to accommodate multiple allergies and restrictions, waitstaff were professional, personable, and courteous throughout the night, and the tech team is passionate and detail-oriented. Above all, I knew we made the right decision when we saw the owner had shown up to work that night, getting his hands dirty, going above and beyond. When one of our guests lost her heirloom ring, they stayed behind and scoured the venue. It’s clear in their work and the care they put into our event that this theater is more than just a business, it’s a family legacy that we are proud to have had our wedding at. When you rent a place as historical as the Leavitt, you’re paying for character, charm, and a night that no one will forget. We are so happy with our choice and recommend it to anyone looking for something different.”

“Cannot say enough amazing things about the Envio in Portsmouth, NH!!!! Katryn and her team made our dream wedding come true this past NYE. Clear communication, new and beautiful space, and no details missed. Guests raved about the food, friendliness of the staff, the hotel location right downtown Portsmouth. They think of everything and ensure the bride and groom are very well taken care. I cannot recommend this venue and wonderful team of staff more, from signing the contract to the food tasting to arrivals /departures we were supported every step. Thank you, Katryn and The Envio!! We had the best day xoxo K & D”
