** you cannot edit your vendor Zola review and this is an edit to give our initial review 5 FIVE STARS** When we were looking for where to host our wedding reception an intimate unique setting that would be a great time with full open bar and great food was what we were looking for about 200. Staff was excellent day of. Food was wonderful guests said. Venue was beautiful for photos and weather behaved in January so we got to watch the sunset. Everything was amazing w Portofino. Price was excellent for what we got and in SoCal on the water venue “boutique hotel.” My only critique is doing room blocks and anything to do with their computer system accounting takes a second and is a little out dated takes two days or so- but I like to get things done or get emails asap so that’s just me. Other than that wonderful place will be going back to stay at hotel! Amazing reception! Exactly what we were looking for! Rain is also exceptionally friendly, patient and communicative so ask for him !

We held our wedding ceremony and reception at Throop Unitarian Universalist Church and were so pleased with their beautiful, spacious venue. The staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful in the planning process, with clear communication every step of the way. They accommodated several special requests we had to make our day perfect. The venue itself is gorgeous with large windows flooding the space with natural light. Our only feedback would be that the space got quite warm during our summer event with all the body heat and dancing. We ended up renting an ac unit from a third party. Overall, Throop UUC was a wonderful partner in creating our dream wedding.
