Wow! Chandler and the Porta team made sure our wedding was amazing. They had very open communication leading up to the big day, addressing all our questions and concerns. Day of, things could not have gone smoother. The food, drinks, service, and the space itself, were all AMAZING. The outdoor space is the perfect size to hang and have a drink. We had the best day!! -

Jessica Sent on 06/21/2024The most amazing wedding venue!
I would get married here all over again! My wife and I had the most incredible day thanks to Porta and their amazing staff. There are honestly no words to express just how incredible they are and how amazing our special day was because of them. Chandler and Payton were so easy to work with during our all of our planning and they were so kind. And Payton and Elizabeth and all of our day of staff were so attentive to us and our family and made the evening go by so smoothly and perfectly. The food was absolutely incredible, the atmosphere is unlike any other, and it is just an all around incredible venue. Our families also spoke... -

Highly, highly recommend Porta for all of your wedding needs. Chandler and the rest of the staff were absolutely amazing. The communication was always open and Chandler never scoffed at the amount of questions we had. The venue is stunning and the food is even better. Above all, the staff is top-notch. We had the time of our lives and it couldn't have been any better. I would do it again in a heartbeat ◡̈ -

Jason Sent on 11/19/2023Perfect day thanks to a perfect venue and staff
You can tell this is not Porta's first rodeo, or in this case, wedding. Everything about the package that Porta offers for weddings is not only fair but very accommodating for what is included. Having so many key components of our big day included meant less decisions we had to make, or people to contact. The day of everything ran like clockwork; the staff was courteous, management so helpful, food and drinks of top quality. Our guests absolutely loved the venue and had so much to talk about how distinct and vibrant the place looked. This is a perfect slice of Jersey Shore, the best kind of way to represent Asbury Park's uniqueness, originality, culture, and memories. -

Erin Sent on 10/30/2023Unlike Any Other
If you're looking for a wedding that strikes a balance between formal and casual, where music/dancing are at the forefront and the most delicious food will be served and talked about for a month post-wedding day (all without breaking the bank), then Porta is IT. It's intimate, vibrant, fun; there's just a vibe to it unlike any other venue. We wouldn't change a thing about our wedding day and that's thanks to Porta and their incredible staff. Recommend: on-site ceremony, a Saturday night, white pie, arugula salad, nutella pies! -

Chantall Sent on 10/19/2023Guests are still raving about our wedding
We don't do traditional and Porta fit our vibe perfectly! My husband and I were married on August 26th, 2023. During the planning stages Chandler was on top of her game, any questions I had within minutes she answered them. On the day of the wedding, Peyton and Elizabeth were phenomenal. Elizabeth made sure I wanted for nothing and even helped keep the girls in my dress a few times. Our guests are still saying it is the best wedding they have ever been to. That it fit our personality, it was unique, and the food was amazing. We don't have enough words to say how happy we are that we chose Porta for our wedding. If you are... -

If you are looking for a place to have a wedding, I’ve got to shout out Porta! There isn’t enough words to explain how great my experience was but even more importantly how perfect our day was!
From the very first moment I spoke with Chandler, the event manager, I had nothing but good feelings about this place. We had our wedding in the Abbot room. From the fancy animals dressed up on the walls, to the disco ball chandeliers, the dark walls and the red doors! We knew this was the place for us. They even handle the decor in their custom packages + have a florist they work with (who is also amazing)!!! We also... -

My husband and I were married at Porta in Asbury Park on August 25th. We had the best most magical day, and we thank it all to Porta. From the first day and communicating with Chandler we knew we wanted to get married here. The food, atmosphere, and service was incredible!! I want to shout out Elizabeth and Peyton as well for the day of the wedding. They were friendly, professional, and just so hard working. From the bottom of our hearts thank you for creating our dream day! -

Cassandra Sent on 08/09/2023Great venue with fantastic staff!
Porta was a fantastic wedding venue. A huge shout out to their staff - we had a separate day of coordinator and she remarked to me multiple times how fantastic the Porta event staff was. They made the day run so smoothy. Their florist does INCREDIBLE work - the whole place is just a really unique and fun wedding venue. We had multiple guests remark it was the best food they've ever had at a wedding - and we couldn't agree more. Their pricing is affordable too - especially considering the location right off the boardwalk! Cannot recommend Porta enough as a wedding venue. -

BEST DAY EVER. We had our wedding here and it was truly such an amazing experience! When looking at venues, we wanted something that was unique, and when we saw Porta, we knew it was perfect. Chandler was so sweet and responsive to my million questions (thanks again girl). She reassured us that everything would be taken care of, and it was!! On our wedding day, Peyton and Elizabeth were so attentive!! They constantly checked on me and my husband, bringing us the appetizers, water, etc. The entire team took care of it all and we were able to dance the night away under the awesome disco ball installation. The food was to die for! Every single thing on... -

Porta is such a vibe for those looking for a fun party. My vision was to eat good food, drink amazing drinks, and have all my guests dancing. No smaltzy traditional wedding venue stuff, we have done a thousand times. Chandler was great, and when she says everything is handled, just show up, she means it. No stress of planning, and a amazing outcome. 10/10 would recommend. -

Marissa Sent on 01/17/2023An experience everyone will remember!
Porta has been on my radar ever since I discovered they host weddings, and this was years before I ever got engaged. My husband and I loved the idea of doing something unique, different, and outside of the box and Porta delivered just that. The room itself is so stunning with fun and elegant details that bring you an aesthetically pleasing and moody environment that will keep everyone taking photos the entire night. The food is incredible and something your guests will be raving about - they provide you more than enough and go the extra mile of packing up every ounce of leftovers to take home (or even send home with your guests). You absolutely get your moneys... -

Emily Sent on 12/06/2022What an absolute blast.
Where do I start with this gem of a venue and every employee there? Let me start by saying we planned this wedding from across the country! We live in LA, but are Jersey natives so we wanted to tie the knot in the motherland. I am not really one for traditional wedding venues. Marble staircases, wineries, gardens...not my jam. We wanted a place that felt like us- fun, fabulous, and a tad funky. I mean...who doesn't want to get married under disco balls?
The EASE of this venue is wild. I talked to Chandler, event coordinator extraordinaire a few times throughout the year, and it was so effortless and laid back. We literally made a few decisions... -

Overview:
3 hour dinner family style (normal is 2hrs, we paid for an additional hour)
Abbott Room
No ceremony, no DJ - created our own playlist that was played from a Porta computer
"Grateful" food package, "Supreme" drink package, wedding florals and arch with greenery add-on, printed menus on tables, signature drink, sign on bar.
Brought our own additional decor: name sign, guest book and signs.
Like many couples, we eloped in 2020 during the pandemic and decided to have a delayed reception/ wedding celebration at a later date. We chose Porta because we were familiar with how good the food and drinks were but also how unique and fun the atmosphere is at their... -

Chandler and the crew were absolutely AMAZING, from the second we booked it has been the best experience we could’ve ever imagined. Everything was perfect and couldn’t have asked for anything more. It was the BEST DAY EVER! I can’t thank everyone apart of our special day enough, thank you thank you thank you!! -

Having our wedding reception at Porta was a no brainer. All the guest were dancing and enjoying themselves. Having the outside area was so special. I highly recommend Porta for a wedding if you're looking for an awesome party!!!! -

Diana Sent on 08/20/2022Unique venue, awesome experience
We chose Porta because the other traditional wedding venues we were looking at just didn't feel right. We had eaten there before, but actually booked the Abbot Room based on the photos alone since we couldn't visit due to Covid. We made the right choice. Chandler was a great help getting things organized in advance and the day of staff (shoutout Peyton and I think it was Elizabeth - Big Star for the win!) were incredible. They made sure we didn't have to worry about a thing. Beforehand, we were able to select cake, decor and floral packages directly from Porta to avoid having to coordinate multiple vendors. Day of, they took care of beautifully arranging all the specialized... -

Emy R. Sent on 08/07/2022Perfect for small intimate wedding!
We were looking for a small space in a restaurant to hold a 30ish guest wedding and we landed on the Monk room at Porta. We wanted a place with good food, good vibes and good drinks. Porta delivered on all accounts and then some! Chandler (the event coordinator) was always super responsive and helped us through the whole process. The cherry on top for us was that they would do the cake and decorations for us! They truly made it as worry free as possible and even let us play our music the day of!
The day of the event they gave a little bit of early access to the room to let us decorate and were very... -

We wanted a smaller non traditional venue that would produce awesome pics and that’s what we got. The staff was so attentive from our first walk through with Chandler to cleaning up after our wedding. I highly recommend Porta if your looking for a smaller venue with an intimate setting, and having pizza at your wedding is a plus!!! -

As a wedding photographer / filmmaker I LOVE shooting at Porta in Asbury Park. Its a beautiful wedding venue, with unique backdrops, delicious food and great staff. I'm obsessed with the lighting and the unique backdrops. The food here is so good and the staff here are amazing. We have shot here multiple times and Porta never disappoints. -

I had my wedding at Porta and it was perfect!! The whole team was amazing…Chandler, Elizabeth, Peyton, DQ! The food (pizza, passed apps, Nutella pizza, fresh mozzarella) was delicious. We used Jersey Shore Florist for the flowers and they were better than I could have imagined. Porta makes the whole process very easy…from adding on a floral archway, to naked cakes with flowers, to pizza tastings, to disco balls lighting up the whole room, and animals on the walls. Porta is also very reasonable compared to everyone else’s prices. We had a wedding planner but you could do without one since they will have a team there for you the entire time. We had 120 guests and that was... -

My husband and I are still in awe over how amazing Porta is as a wedding venue. Chandler, the event manager, worked with us to make our vision come to life. She has incredible attention to details, is organized, quick response time, and over the top professionalism. On the day of the wedding, Peyton and Elizabeth, were completely on point- constantly checking in with us, asking us if we need anything, helping our guests with minor requests, etc. They truly made the day feel seamless. In general, Porta is such an awesome venue, everyone loved the food and desserts. All the Porta employees made our day absolutely perfect :) -

Going into wedding planning my now husband and I wanted a super low key yet fun space for our nuptials. Low and behold we reached out to Porta in Asbury Park and as soon as we stepped foot into the Abbot room we knew that was the space for us and what really pushed Porta over the competition was Chandler Vogel and her incredible support from our first meeting to the NUMEROUS emails I sent with the most ridiculous questions and requests. If we were to do it all over again we would choose Porta again and again. HIGHLY RECCOMEND! -
