We absolutely loved having our 55-person wedding at Bar Carlo. The owner Mel is at the same time very supportive and very low-key, which made for a smooth planning process and day-of event. The space is gorgeous, and has multiple connected wings, which allowed for the the party to morph seamlessly over the night from barside cocktail hour to outdoor patio ceremony to dinner buffet to dance floor. The space is already a beautifully decorated artwork, and Mel lets you decide how to arrange the space for your event, but you can also bring your own decorations/sound system/llama and she can handle those additions easily. The food and drinks were delicious too, and Mel was able to accommodate our entirely vegan and gluten-free menu without hesitation. Overall we loved the unique-ness, flexibility and good vibes of the space and the people of Bar Carlo, and would recommend it to anyone who is looking for a cute and fun space for their wedding or other event. -Nicola & Lou

My husband and I got married at the Portland Yacht Club last month and we were thrilled with our choice of venue. The staff were friendly, responsive, and was a pleasure to work with throughout the planning process. They communicated promptly about details and last minute changes, which we really appreciated during such a hectic time. The location right on the water was beautiful and made for a romantic backdrop. Our guests raved about the delicious meal and many said it was one of the best wedding dinners they had enjoyed. The space itself was elegant yet comfortable, with large windows to showcase the views and a great dance floor. We felt it all came together seamlessly on our big day thanks to Asia, the Events and Sales Manager and her attention to detail. For a classy waterfront wedding with fantastic food and service, we enthusiastically recommend the Portland Yacht Club!

The best location ever! Beautiful venue. I think I knew it was the one the first time I visited and we looked at 3 other venues. EVERYTHING went as smooth on the wedding day. The ceremony (which is the most important to me) and everything else went the way I wanted it to so I was very happy about that. I thought it was perfect! THANK YOU especially to our Coordinator, Noel. She was just a delight to work with! Anyone would be so lucky to have you as their coordinator. We just felt at ease with you. I will definitely recommend you guys for anyone planning their weddings or other events. You are just simply the best! Their in-house vendors are fantastic to work with as well. Everyone, from Noel to their vendors all really listened to my vision of the wedding and made it all happen
