The Woman's Club of Portsmouth Reviews

The most beautiful venue!
Perfect location and staff!
The inside is massive and stunning, I had planned for my ceremony to be on the back deck the week of we had to pivot and move the ceremony inside and Chrissy was so helpful getting me connected to the best most affordable vendors to make it happen!
It was the most perfect day I cannot thank them enough!

The Woman's Club of Portsmouth was absolutely the perfect venue for our December wedding! The possibilities are endless in such a gorgeous space; I originally wanted to add tons of drapery and approximately 2 million more flowers before I was reminded by my now-husband that we did indeed have a budget... but ultimately, we didn't even NEED any of that extra stuff. The new floors and glittering chandeliers are so lovely that even very understated decor looks glamorous! We loved the ease and convenience of having our ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception in one space, and our guests were very pleased with that aspect as well. In addition to the space itself, working with Chrissy was such a joy!! She was so fun and easy to communicate with, and went FAR above and beyond for us MULTIPLE times in the year/month/week leading up to our wedding day. We are so appreciative and cannot reccomend this venue and its staff highly enough! The one cautionary note I would leave for prospective clients is to remind your guests (multiple times) to try to arrive earlier than they think they need to if they are planning on utilizing the complimentary valet parking!! As the venue does not have guest parking directly on site, it can take some time to get everybody in the building, and I wish I had sent another 3-4 reminders to my guests. But that being said, it worked out just fine and I wouldn't even call that a downside or negative at all, considering we understood this from the start, and all of the other amazing attributes of this venue and kindness of the staff!! Our wedding day was literally perfect, and we can't imagine having had it anywhere else. Thank you so much to Chrissy and everybody at WCP that helped make our day so wonderful!!!

This venue has it all. Natural lighting. A beautiful, Big bridal suite. Plenty of indoor and outdoor space. Beautiful blooming flowers. So many places for photos. And a set upstairs that are the perfect entrance for the bride.

Even though it was 100° outside the temperature inside was cool and comfortable. They offered you plenty of tables and discounted chairs. They are very responsive to your emails.

I can’t say enough great things about this place. I received so many compliments on the building itself and will book it all over again.

This venue is absolutely stunning!! It has everything you need and it’s beauty alone requires minimal decor. We were able to have a beautiful ceremony outside and a reception inside that was incredible. We were even able to have pictures on the water during sunset that turned out beautiful. Super easy to work with the staff and they made sure all of my questions were answered promptly!

WCoP is one of the most stunning, yet hidden, venues in the Hampton Roads area. It was initially our first choice venue, but didn't have our date available. Then came COVID. We had to move our date, and when our original venue couldn't support, we immediately wanted to book back at WCoP.

They were absolutely amazing to work with. It was a tough time as restrictions and capacity limits were changing, as well as CDC guidance, but WCoP was very transparent through it all and the absolute best to work with in the end. We had the venue the whole day, were able to drop things off early, and our vendors had plenty of time to set up.

The bridal suite is gorgeous, there is plenty of room for big wedding parties to hang out all day prior to the ceremony. We opted to hold the ceremony indoors, cocktail hour on the front porch, and then the reception inside once the space was flipped. It was a dream setting. Our pictures in the garden area out back are absolutely stunning and amazing.

The price for this venue was cheaper than a lot of other places we looked, but the quality is far greater. We would book this venue again in a heartbeat if we had to do it all over again.

Thanks so much for making our dream day happen!

Absolutely gorgeous venue. Everything went smoothly through the entire planning process, and day of was perfect! Lovely bridal suite to get ready in! Front and back porches were a nice touch for guests.

After attending 3 weddings here, I knew I had to have MY wedding at this venue. Every aspect of this venue is beautiful, from the indoor ballroom to the outside decks. There are many ceremony locations available. We personally chose to have our ceremony indoors in the ballroom and have the room flipped for the reception. We had our cocktail hour on the back deck where guests enjoyed appetizers, drinks, and played corn hole! The bridal suite was perfect and very accommodating for getting a large bridal party ready the morning of the wedding. Overall wonderful experience!

Everything from the staff, the facility itself and the surrounding neighborhood is just amazing. We mainly worked with Brittany and she answered any and all questions that we had. Both her and Kelly made sure that we had all of our documents in on time and sent reminders as often as possible without overwhelming us. Their patience and help was much appreciated throughout such a stressful time. The venue speaks for itself with its beauty. We only had one mishap and it was the power going out for about 2 minutes during our getting ready process, but it was fixed promptly and we had no other issues for the rest of the evening. Seriously one of the best decisions that we made was to book our wedding here!

Absolutely loved the venue. Everyone was very helpful, and it was great being able to set it up exactly how we wanted to.

I could not have been happier choosing the Womens Club of Portsmouth as our venue. The venue alone is absolutely stunning. They have gorgeous hard wood floors, breathtaking chandeliers, cathedral height ceilings, an open back deck with a pergola, romantic covered front porch, spacious bridal suite and room for the guys too. This venue is romantic, warm, and beautiful; not to mention affordable. I am so happy choosing this venue!

We absolutely love this venue! We had the entire venue for the whole day and I wouldn't have had it any other way! My whole bridal party was able to get ready in the Bridal Suite and have our stylist come to us which made us not have to run around all day! We got married on the back porch underneath their pergola, had our cocktail hour on the front porch and our reception inside! All of our guest loved the valet parking and how beautiful the venue was. Brittany and Kelly are both so sweet and made sure all of our needs were met. I highly recommend this venue!

Beautiful venue and helpful staff.

Most beautiful, romantic place for an evening wedding catered by the black pelican. Their good was spectacular and provided phenomenal service. The Buffett set up was unbelievably beautiful. I'd never of thought to have Buffett until I was at this wedding and saw this set up. Could not believe it. The facility was clean and very warm feeling. Beautiful water view from back deck. Picture perfect. Something you'd see in a magazine.

This venue was beyond perfect. From the moment I first saw this venue I knew it was where I wanted to get married. You can dress it up or use the bare minimum of decorations and your wedding will still be radiant. The bridal suite is imaculant and spacious. The down stairs bathrooms are just as equally beautiful. Basically you can't go wrong by choosing this place to say your I Do's.

The staff, Kelly and Brittany are amazing. They answered numerous of my e-mails and accommodated my many trips "just to see" the venue. They made me feel like I was the only Bride getting married there. I was always addressed by name and they took the time to listen to any and all of my concerns. If the venue doesn't seal the deal they will. I can not say enough wonderful things about this place. This venue will forever be imprinted on my heart.

The staff at the woman's club were amazing to work with! We got the entire venue from 8am until midnight to decorate, take down, whatever we needed to do. They include the tables in the rental price, which is great. The venue is so gorgeous. My guests still say how amazing it was!!

I am so in love with this venue!! Everything from the venue itself to the wonderful staff was just perfect! The bridal suite was gorgeous and provided plenty of room for all of us gals to get ready. I loved the option of doing the ceremony & cocktail hour outside and the reception inside. I'm so happy we chose the Woman's Club!

Absolutely beautiful venue. Lots of space and room for my wedding of over 180 guests. Loved the bridal suite to get ready in and many picturesque places around and in the venue. Perfect space.

The Woman's Club was everything I could've dreamed of for my wedding. The beautiful vaulted ceilings, chandeliers, hardwood flooring, and the convenient bridal suite upstairs made this venue a clear choice. It's classic, needs minimal decorating and working with Kelly was so easy. She was patient and very responsive.

I love this venue and cannot wait to have my wedding here in May. Kelly and Brittany have been amazing with responding to emails and answering any questions that we may have. On top of that, the venue is beautiful and offers a lot of flexibility with time.

So far, our experience with the Woman's Club of Portsmouth has been pretty great. The representative for the Woman's Club has been VERY responsive, even before we signed our contract. We decided to have our wedding reception on a Monday because the fee could not be passed up. It is so affordable and it might be possible that my dress may cost more. We have been to the Woman's Club a couple of times and the place has always been clean and smells brand new everytime. I really like how there is a ice machine in the kitchen which will make our catering cost even lower. The Club is big enough to have a separate area for Cocktail hour. This reception venue is A++

The Woman's Club of Portsmouth, while a difficult venue to attain, is a beautiful place and a great value! My spouse and I booked the venue two years in advance of our Valentine's Day wedding, and collaborating with the ladies who work there was such a pleasure. This is a MUST location for any wedding!

Southern charm in the heart of Portsmouth! I wouldn't have dreamed of choosing another venue for my special day!

We just recently had our wedding at the Woman's Club of Porstmouth. Our entire experience was positive working with them leading up to the event and the day-of. They are a great value for such a beautiful venue and allow you the flexibility of choosing your own caterer and having the space for the entire day for set up. The Woman's Club has the added bonus of having a big deck and front porch for optional ceremony or cocktail hour space, along with such a nice Bridal room to get ready in. I highly recommend this facility for anyone's big day!

All I can say is they were wonderful! The guests loved the venue and they were very accomadating.
