Amazing wedding! Beautiful ceremony, awesome staff. I had such an amazing experience! First of all, the location is beyond perfect. The ceremony space and ballrooms overlook the ocean, and it’s extremely gorgeous during sunset. The staff and service were phenomenal, they went above and beyond to make sure all the details were in place.
Even the staff at the hotel were friendly and accommodating! A few of our family had flights later in the afternoon, so we were nervous they would have to wait around at the airport for a long time. But, front desk was able to extend our checkout easily.
I have to give a few shoutouts! Thank you, Diana, for your swift responses–you did a great job keeping us updated with the room block. And thank you to Rain! You were such a dream to work with. Not only were you professional and courteous, you made the process streamlined and seamless. I would highly recommend this venue!

The perfect hotel for our wedding weekend! We couldn’t have chosen a more perfect hotel for our room block than The Portofino Hotel & Marina. From the very beginning, Rain and his team were incredible to work with, partnering with us for nearly a year to coordinate every detail, from our room block logistics to the bridal getting-ready suite and our after-party at Baleen, the hotel’s restaurant and lounge.

Most of our guests were traveling cross-country, many of whom had never been to California before, and they were absolutely blown away by the hotel. Between the beautiful waterfront grounds, immaculate rooms, thoughtful amenities, and genuinely friendly staff (Shaw at Valet and Chelsea at Front Desk, to name a few), it was the perfect home base for our wedding weekend.

Check-in was seamless, rooms were ready in a timely manner, and the entire process was incredibly smooth, especially impressive given the number of guests arriving around the same time. There were truly no major issues whatsoever, which allowed our guests (and us) to relax and fully enjoy the weekend.

The Portofino Hotel & Marina exceeded every expectation, and we are so grateful to Rain and his team for their professionalism, organization, and care throughout the entire process. We would recommend this hotel without hesitation to anyone hosting a wedding or special event in the area!

I highly recommend The Portofino Hotel as the ideal Southern California wedding venue. We held our reception there in September 2025 in the ballroom overlooking the ocean. The location could not have been any more special! The Sales Manager, Rain Villanueva, was easy to work with and very knowledgeable and responsive. The Catering Events Coordinator, Brittany Roberts, was on top of every detail and helped execute the day perfectly. Diana Becerra was very patient and helpful in managing our room block. Our guests raved about the reception food and the service personnel made the evening flow smoothly. We had a great experience at The Portofino.

It’s a great venue with wonderful staff and food. Rain sold us immediately and the food and service did not disappoint. It’s the closest you’ll get to the water in the area, and they did a good job at renovating the space from when we first saw it. Kudos to the staff that worked our wedding, they were all fun. Special shout out to Rain for the nice amenity in our room to end our night.
