The BEST Experience with Port 393

From the very moment (and I kid you not) we walked into Port 393, we knew this would be the place we wanted to have our wedding reception. Candice went above and beyond to make our first tour special and made it feel so much easier and more inviting than any other reception venue we had looked at. That alone could have been what kept us at Port 393 – but that was just the tip of the iceberg. The venue is beautiful and the ability to have something modern and customizable really sets it above the competition. Throughout the night, there were so many comments that the staff was incredible and I think that falls on the immaculate environment Candice has created.

Last but definitely not least, we need to have a special section for Molly, our event coordinator. From the beginning, she went out of our way to make our entire weekend unforgettable. Whether it was coordination between vendors, design ideas, timelines, pictures, rehearsal dinner plans, ceremony plans, the occasional dirt on the shirt during wedding pictures (thanks Molly!), she did it all. We both came out of the weekend counting our blessings that we had you with us during this entire process. We cannot begin to thank you enough.
10/10 would recommend Port 393. Don’t think about, just do it and be as happy as we are.

Beautiful Venue, Amazing DOC

Our daughter's wedding was held upstairs on the balcony which was beautiful, followed by a cocktail hour in the same upstairs space. Downstairs, the reception was beautifully decorated and perfect for 100 people. Chloe, the DOC, was amazing! She was on top of every detail, even loading our cars at the end of the night with everything we were responsible for taking. She helped make the night go so smoothly. We were completely happy.

Great Venue

Beautiful venue we just attended for a wedding. Everything was clean well organized, great set up for ceremony and cocktail hour upstairs on balcony and the bar inside. There was about 170 people attending and both upstairs and downstairs were a perfect size, but the way the building was built I'd think larger or smaller weddings would work great in there as well. Staff was professional and nothing ever came up that they weren't prepared for. I would recommend for anyone looking for a venue!

Dream wedding

Port 393 hosted our dream wedding. Candice and Christianna were a dream team. Candice from the beginning had so much enthusiasm and made us so excited for the event. Christianna doubled as our venue manager and event coordinator and she was so prompt, detail oriented, and was a force to be reckoned with the day of. Not all hero’s wear capes. We would not have had our wedding anywhere else!

I would relive it all again if I could

Port 393 was a huge factor in making our wedding day one of the best days of our life. From the day we visited until the day of our wedding, we felt an overwhelming sense of warmth and excitement. You get a beautiful rooftop and an elegant reception hall, all while being minutes away from breathtaking photo opportunities. We were so blessed to work with Kyle Knoll throughout the planning process and on the day of our wedding. My husband and I did not have to worry about a thing on our special day because Kyle was always on top of it to the point where she made sure we had a drink in our hand if we wanted one. Port 393 is special because it is a beautiful venue, but especially because the Port 393 team has passionate, kind, and thoughtful people.

Incredible!!

This place was everything we had hoped for. After having problems with our first venue, Port 393 stepped up and created an experience that we will always remember. The staff there was very flexible with our short timeline and had everything we needed to create our special day. My husband and I would recommend this place to anyone looking for a fun, classy, yet modernized style wedding.

AMAZING - truly could not have asked for more 💗

Port 393 is the absolute BEST! Candice, Lauren and Kylie were ALL fantastic to work with and did SO much to make our day so perfect! From the very first time we toured Port, we knew that's where we wanted to say "I Do". The personable service all of their staff gives makes SUCH a difference! Every single detail of the venue is true perfection. We had our ceremony on the rooftop patio and all our guests were so impressed with how beautiful it was. Our reception was downstairs and we loved that we had the ability to choose our layout and utilize their amazing rental items. Port 393 is a one of a kind venue that is such a gem. We were so lucky to have been able to have our wedding at Port - we wish we could do it again and again!!! ;)

Wonderful!

Port 393 and Candice were wonderful to work with! Getting married during COVID came with many challenges, but Candice helped make our special day better than we could have ever imagined.

Beautiful venue

I held my wedding reception at Port 393. As a former fundraiser, I have hosted many events at various places, and Port 393 was far and away the best group I have dealt with. The venue is beautiful and unique to the Holland area. What makes Port 393 special is the people. They are extremely professional; you can count on them to deliver. They bring that same discernment when recommending associates. The businesses they recommended to me were top-notch. Beyond that, they bring a genuine enthusiasm to their job, which is rare. In short, they make planning your event not only stress-free (or as much as possible), they make it pleasurable.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
