“Where do I begin?!! The Portofino Hotel & Marina was INCREDIBLE!!!!!! From day one all the way to today, a few days after the wedding, all the staff we encountered has been excellent!! Specifically I want to give a shout out to Sierra, Rain, Luis, Paco, & Mac. Sierra was my main hotel wedding coordinator and contact. She was so responsive, attentive, organized, sweet, available, and amazing!! I couldn’t be happier with her and her services. The entire experience was seamless. We planned an entire wedding in under 2 months together as I was eager to marry my man this year. She was so helpful and explained any and all things when I had questions. Starting with booking the venue all the way to the day after the wedding. Everything was so organized, including the deadlines of decisions I needed to make, and payment info, and what to do if it rained. She had everything covered. THANK YOU THANK YOU SIERRA!! Rain was also another venue coordinator & catering sales manager who helped us too and he was amazing as well. He stepped in when/if Sierra was out of the office and he attended our tasting and answered so many questions as well. He was so nice, sweet and great to work with. Very organized and never missed a beat! Thank you Rain!! Luis, the director of Banquets, handled anything food and drink related and everything was perfect. He even placed two of each hors d’oeuvres at our sweetheart table (knowing we probably wouldn’t get a chance to eat them during cocktail hour as we were busy mingling) and he was right!! It was such a sweet, simple gesture that made a big impression on us. Paco was one of the Bartenders from the day of (I never got a chance to meet our other bartender) and he was so fun and cheerful and positive and an overall great spirit. Guests kept telling me how much they loved Paco and me too! Mac worked on the hotel side and we met him when we checked in and he handled ALL our luggage and he also golf carted me around on the actual wedding day so I didn’t have to walk too much. He was super sweet and was so helpful and had a great vibe! Also, my initial point of contact was Melanie who responded to my initial venue request. She was so great and helpful and responsive that right away we were sold and we booked the venue the next day without ever even seeing it in person. On top of all the AMAZING staff, the venue is just absolutely beautiful!! You can’t find a prettier ocean front venue in the So Cal. Just gorgeous. We chose a type of all-inclusive wedding package that included a sit down 3-course dinner, open bar, ceremony, hotel room, wedding cake, and many more perks such as white linen, candles on each table, arch on the ceremony grass, champagne toast, etc. It was perfect, efficient, organized and made my life so easy. I really didn’t have to do much except invite guests and show up!! many of my guests told me afterward they were so impressed with the staff, venue and the food!!! Seriously, the food was excellent. I know all of this sounds too good to be true but honestly it was. I had zero problems, no horror stories, nothing. It truly was a PERFECT day and overall experience. I also found out afterward that a coworker of mine got married here too this past summer and she said the same thing. Her day was perfect as well and I am not surprised at all. Thank you to everyone at the Portofino! We cant wait to come back just to enjoy the restaurant, the views and the excellent service :)”

“We had the honor of working with Marla for our wedding in July 2024 and we cannot say enough AMAZING things about working with her to make our wedding dreams come true. Hotel Maya was the first venue to respond to our inquiry when we first reached out to venues. When we had our initial site visit, Marla was so thorough with her questions to ensure that the spaces we looked at fit our budget or vision. She advised that the hotel is pet friendly, which we loved since we wanted a venue where our dog could be part of the wedding ceremony. We fell in love with the spaces (Jardin de Palmeras and Miramar Ballroom) and loved that they beautifully showcased Long Beach. To that, Hotel Maya offers wedding packages that include ceremony & reception spaces, wedding cake, day-of coordinator, day-of get ready room, hotel room the night of the wedding, catering, cake cutting knife & server, tables, chairs, utensils, tablecloths, and so much more! We didn’t have to look any further and booked Hotel Maya right away! During the wedding planning process, Marla continued to be the absolute best to work with. I came with a ton of questions, and she always responded quickly and never made we feel like I was a bother. If there was something outside of catering that we need assistance with, she would gladly point us in the right direction or generously help us herself. She gained our trust very quickly through her above & beyond customer service, kindness, and sweet personality. Marla’s work is truly magic. On our wedding weekend, Marla made herself available for any last-minute preparations we needed her help with. On the wedding day, she was there when we needed her, and she was working behind the scenes to ensure our wedding day went smoothly. She made sure to touch base with us once in a while to make sure we were doing all right and just be excited with us. At this point, she’s been such an integral part of our big day, we were definitely sharing our joy with her. Also, we are happy to say that our dog was included in our big day. It’s so sweet to know that he was there with us as well. The hospitality staff at Hotel Maya were kind an attentive, starting with my bridal party in the get ready room and all the way through dinner service by checking if my husband and I needed anything. We also heard a consistent compliment about our bartender from our guests: he was quick! They said even when the line was long, he whipped up drinks in a flurry. Even my father was really impressed! We are so glad our guests were taken care of by all the hotel staff. Thank you, Marla and the Hotel Maya staff, for everything. We are beyond grateful. You’ve made wedding planning less stressful and made our wedding dreams truly come true. Hotel Maya will ALWAYS have a special place in our hearts. Whenever we go eat at Fuego, the hotel restaurant, we will be sure to visit our ceremony space to lovingly reminisce and pay a visit to Marla. We recommend any couple to consider Hotel Maya for their wedding venue as we had such a wonderful experience working with them.”
