We had our wedding at Port 393 on December 14, 2024, and it was an absolutely unforgettable experience. Chloe, our wedding planner, was incredibly attentive and had everything under control from start to finish. Her meticulous attention to detail allowed us to relax and truly enjoy our special day. Chloe was always easy to reach and guided us through every step of the planning process. On the day of the wedding, she made sure I had everything I needed and went above and beyond to make the day special. She even took care of loading up the car throughout the night, so we could focus on enjoying time with our family and each other. The decorations were stunning, and the entire venue looked beautiful. I highly recommend letting Port 393 handle all the details—they truly made our wedding everything we had hoped for and more. It was a fun and memorable day, thanks to their exceptional service.

I had my wedding ceremony outdoors at Royal Scot Golf Course in October of 2019 and the scenery was beautiful. I also had my wedding reception indoors in Royal Scot’s North Room which is located upstairs and holds approximately 125 people. The North Room was very spacious and even included a dance floor and an outdoor balcony. All rooms at Royal Scot have full banquet staff which includes servers, bartenders, and chefs. Linens, cloth napkins, flatware, china and glassware are also included. The catering for all functions is provided by Royal Scot and they do a wonderful job. My guests were raving about the food; it was truly delicious. Royal Scot staff was extremely attentive and communicated well throughout the planning process and during the event itself. Royal Scot staff met all my expectations and so much more. Royal Scot is a wonderful venue and the event pricing is very reasonable. I highly recommend this venue.

First off, the all-inclusive aspect of English Inn was perfect. We had our rehearsal, rehearsal dinner, wedding, photos, cocktail hour, and reception there - plus our bridal party and immediate family stayed on site! It really took a lot of stress out of the weekend to not have to worry about how to get from A to B. And since the Inn's banquet hall caters the meal and has a bar, that was 2 fewer vendors we had to worry about! Not to mention chairs, tables, linens, etc all provided as well. For two people who aren't familiar with event planning, the English Inn made planning our wedding a breeze! Adriana is amazing as event coordinator, she was always able to answer every question quickly and professionally. The staff was all really friendly and the food was AMAZING! Absolutely no regrets or "what-if"s on our venue choice.

My Husband and I visited 5 venues and fell in love with not only the Holly Vault but also Alisa and her team. We fell in love with the unique space and felt that it was the perfect space for us. We loved that the venue offered and/or included: linens, tables, chairs, silverware, plates, catering, drinks, coordinator, getting ready space, and ceremony options. Alisa is the best of the best and thought about every detail that I would never have thought about. She made our day memorable and seamless from start to finish. We were truly able to live in the moment and didn’t have to worry about getting drinks, missing our desserts or appetizers because they were placed at our table throughout the night. Alisa was so easy to work with and her communication was clear and fast. If I had a question I would just either email or text her and would get response within 24 hours. I was completely confident in the team and they made wedding planning easy and my wedding day seamless. Out of all the venues we visited and all teams we have met, the Holly Vault collection is truly the best venue and the team is the best of the best. I wish I could relive my wedding day all over again because of this team and venue!
