No, all catering services will be handled through our onsite Food & Beverage department.
Yes, onsite parking is available.
Yes, all our facilities are wheelchair accessible. We also have ramps at the main and side entrances, hearing-impaired fire alarm lights, and trained staff.
Out of respect for guests and homeowners residing at Portofino, and to abide with the local noise ordinance, events must conclude at 10:00pm.
Portofino requires that food and beverage (with the exception of the wedding cake) be contracted through Portofino. This ensures you will receive the highest level of quality and service for your event. We partner with an elite group of event professionals in the area who are familiar with our standards, rules and regulations, and are licensed and insured to provide you with the best possible service. However, you may submit a separate vendor for approval by the event coordinator no later than 30 days prior to the event.

Yes, our Event Manager will be happy to schedule a tasting for you after your date is officially reserved. No more than 90 days prior to the event with a 10 day notice is required.

An appointment is required with an Event Manager to ensure you are able to gain access to the property. During this meeting, we will discuss every detail necessary to make your day run flawlessly and answer any questions you may have.
