- RRegina Woodward15/01/2019Absolutely amazing Absolutely amazingAbsolutely amazing 💗 we held our wedding at Portland on 1 September 2018 and it was perfect. The weather was beautiful and the pagoda made such a magical setting. From start to finish Portland were so attentive and made sure everything ran smoothly and they were so reassuring. The food was 5* and many of our guests commented on how lovely the venue was and that it was the best buffet they had had in a long time. I would recommend Portland to anyone who wants a unique venue in a beautiful setting. Couldn't have asked for anything more, I just wish I could do it all over again 💗Absolutely amazing 💗 we held our wedding at Portland on 1 September 2018 and it was perfect.
