The best venue and team!

We had the most beautiful September wedding at Portico (Awbury Arboretum) — literally nothing went wrong. We had amazing weather, beautiful surroundings, and everyone had a wonderful time.

From start to finish the team at Peachtree was so accommodating and lovely. Fallyn helped us tour the venue on a cold December day and really helped us imagine it working for us. Stephanie helped us get the logistics figured out. The team at the tasting was so kind and accommodating.

We want to specifically shout out how good they were at accounting for dietary restrictions and allergies with the catering. There wasn’t just one sad ‘veggie’ platter option for the vegans and non-dairy friends — everyone had something good to eat.

On our wedding day, Stephanie helped make sure that everything went right, coordinating with her team and all of our vendors. We also have to give a special shout-out to Ashley, our friendly attendant who was always making sure that our bridesmaids had coffee to drink and we had food to eat, and Jess, our bartender who all of our guests fell in love with.

Peachtree’s team is so professional, capable, and efficient, but also at every point they also made us feel special and made the day feel like ours. We were able to spend the whole day focusing on each other and our guests, knowing we were in their good hands.

Loved Portico!!

We were married at Portico this Fall and could not have asked for a better venue! The venue itself is beautiful, but the staff is really the standout of this venue. We worked with Fallyn for booking and Micah for planning -both were dreams to work with. Micah helped bring our wedding vision to life and was a calm, organized presence the entire wedding day.
Other pros: the food was phenomenal. Truly the best wedding food I’ve ever had. AND THE GOATS! 10/10 recommend hiring the goats.
Thank you again!

Dream venue and team

Our wedding at this venue was truly magical. The whimsical garden setting made it feel like a dreamy fairytale, and everything was absolutely perfect. The staff were amazing—attentive, professional, and genuinely kind. The food was absolutely incredible, our guests are still raving about how good it was! We opted for some premium upgrades, and it was worth every penny. I’m only sad I didn’t get to try all the hors d’oeuvres and our poke station, but what I did have was amazing. It was truly the most unforgettable day, and the venue played a huge part in making it so special. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience—it was everything we dreamed of and more!

When we booked the venue, an event coordinator was included, and we were lucky enough to work with Grace, who started coordinating with us about six months before the big day. From the very beginning, she was a calming presence, always ready to answer our endless questions and help shape our vision into reality. No detail was too small for her attention, and she offered thoughtful suggestions that made everything even better than we had imagined.
On the day of the wedding, Grace was a true lifesaver. She ensured every detail was flawless, keeping things on schedule without ever making us feel rushed. She even made sure we had time to eat and enjoy the food, which is something most couples forget to do! Grace was incredibly attentive to all our needs and always seemed to be one step ahead, handling things we hadn’t even thought about. Thanks to her, we were able to fully enjoy the day without worrying about a single thing.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
