Last night our organization held its annual formal. The venue made it easy for them to get an all in one. They had open space to receive folks coming in. That included a nook that had a photo booth (included). The event allowed for live and DJ proctored music, but for whatever reason the sound for the live portions of the event were not as loud as the DJ that may have been connected to the sound system. It seemed like the sound over the dance floor was plenty loud enough. I like that they have a dedicated parking lot. Our event organizers arranged for security and it felt safe The light effects were pretty good. The mood from the ambient light was sufficient to make it seem intimate, but not so dark that you couldn't find your table or trip over the tables. The caterers, who I'm not sure were part of the venue were lacking. Their team on the ground were nice, but the food was meh. I will leave it at that. There were three different bar areas, the main bar was towards the back and had the longest lines, but if you're a beer guy, they had a separate trough/bar that had shorter lines. I felt Tuscany Hills provided our event organizers their moneys worth. We had a great time.

The decorations inside were festive and elegant. The entertainment folks were top notch - a young man with a great voice entertained us with jazzy Christmas Carols as we enjoyed happy hour- they had three bars set up. It was lovely. The table scapes were similar to some high priced weddings I have attended. So now for the food. Well- the snacks on the table were not fresh- they must have been sitting out awhile because the pretzels had gotten soggy sitting in the snack cup with the grapes and cheese. We had to flag someone down to get our water glasses filled. They brought out the salad and it was a typical salad for these types of events, but the wait for the main entree took forever- I mean people went to raid the dessert bar because they were waiting so long. The food was cold by the time we got it and then we had to wait because they neglected to bring enough servings for the table so we politely waited for our comrade to get his food. And then there was no water again. Getting back to the dessert bar- there were no plates or napkins up there- you could only take what you could hold in the palm of your hand- I get it that they wanted to have some control over the amount each person took so there would be enough for everyone, but please- you have women in ball gowns holding Madelines or a cookie in their hands- this was not good. At least have small napkins. So for more good stuff- dancing was great!

This review is long over due! I had my wedding Sept. 2018 at Los Portales and had a great…read moreexperience. Oscar was very attentive and went above and beyond to make sure me and my wife were happy. I thought the price we got was competitive considering I called a lot of places. The venue itself was really nice and we got a ton of compliments on it. Everything about the property is really nice and you can tell no stops were made when restoring it. Also, the food was really good and we had the chance to taste what we wanted. Again, I can't stress enough how good of a choice we made when choosing this place for our wedding. The service, aesthetics, food, value and vibe were excellent! I 100% recommend Los Portales!!

Though other venues may offer many different things, we really fell in love with Los Portales when we, luckily, came across it. The beautiful architecture and open landscaping made for the perfect location and backdrop for our Fall wedding. We also loved, and appreciated, the history and story behind the structure itself. We are not local to the area but working with Oscar leading up to our wedding was extremely easy and left us very care-free. We had regular check-ins with him to ensure everything was progressing as planned. He also offered several helpful suggestions for local retailers that were knowledgable and reliable. Once it go to the week of our wedding, Alvaro was also a great deal of help with finalizing some of those last-minute details. The serving staff were also fantastic. Throughout the evening, they made sure all guests had full glasses and were quick to clear tables when necessary. This was something we were not expecting, resulting in it being a very pleasant surprise. Again, my fiancé (now wife) and I could not have been happier with the beautiful setting that the Los Portales venue provided for our special day. Two suggestions for prospective couples considering having their wedding here: - Request to meet with the day-of coordinator prior to the actual date of your wedding. This will definitely help to ensure they are aware of who each person in the wedding party is and who should be contacted if concerns come up. - Share open communication with the DJ surrounding the songs, or specific music, you'd like to be played.

When you book this venue you create a family you never knew you needed. My wedding coordinator was Maria. She not only put my husband's and my needs first, but was so organized and made the process so seamless. I had noooooo idea what I was doing but she was there to guide me every step of the way. Then you have Benir who is in charge of the food and bakery. My husband was in charge of selecting the food and the cake and they instantly hit it off. She kept the process of selecting the food and cake fun and easy. She designed our cake for us because we had no idea what we wanted it to look like. It was awesome and tasted even better! Last but not least there is Frank, our DJ that helped us by putting everything together from the lights, to the ceremony, to the music. Frank and Maria make the best team. The way the music and the lights made the tent dance and come to life was unforgettable. If I could describe the tent it was as if it was dancing with us. Frank and Maria felt like family and made our wedding so special. Thank you guys for everything. I would say let's do it again, but I only plan on getting married once!

Me and my fiance' booked this venue for our wedding. We booked it about a year in advance and after…read morea few payments I was informed that my grandfather could not make the wedding due to travel restrictions from his declining health. We then decided to cancel the venue and get married closer to where I live so my grandfather could be there. We reached out to the venue instantly. We expressed our understanding that we canceled so we were at their mercy. However, we would appreciate if we could get a portion of our money back for our wedding (not a full refund because again, we understand how these things work). They aggressively said no and went on a tangent. Now if we canceled a month before the wedding, I would be more forgiving of this behavior. However, we canceled almost a year out and they refuse to show any decency for our situation. Life deals bad cards sometimes and it's unfortunate that we were forced to cancel but it's saddening to know that there are people out there that can take so much money from a young couple that's fallen on hard times and not think twice about it. We don't have much. A small refund would have helped immensely. TLDR: If you book with this venue. Don't do it too far out because if something bad happens and you have to cancel, you will not be met with grace. No matter how far out your cancelation is..

Despite traveling from Dallas, my experience at this venue was incredibly disappointing. Irma's treatment was utterly disrespectful. I had arranged a meeting with her three weeks in advance, providing ample time for her to cancel if necessary. Sadly, upon arriving, there was no warm welcome. All she said was, "I forgot to cancel you," without even an apology. She shut the doors on our face. I'm glad I will not be spending any of my time, money, and effort into dealing with someone like Irma. If you're looking for a venue please reconsider other options with better customer service.

Working with him to plan for the initial cocktail hour, the introduction of the wedding party through a formal dinner and then dancing helped make it special for us and our guests! Our reception hosted a great mix of 20 through 80-year-old people and Chris found the right music for everyone. Nobody left the dance floor all night! And his orchestration of the Dad/Daughter Dance, Bride/Groom and the speeches was exceptional. Chris is both a showman and a tremendous professional whose ability to use his microphone to make everyone feel welcome both surprised us and had us and our family members not wanting to leave! We were both surprised and pleased to work with him. Chris and his team were all very courteous and DJ'd with professionalism and class. The music was perfect for all 5 hours of the event, where everyone felt they were included in the celebration. A true sign that he helped create a magical night is that many people asked for copies of the playlist. Everyone had a great time and stated it was the best wedding in our family ever. His creativity of the music and lighting selection as well as wall art and cloud were money well spent and we hope everyone gets to work with him! Many people told us he was the best DJ they had ever worked with, and we must agree. Our highest recommendation for Chris and his team. He is welcome to come to all of our future family parties!

If you want your party to be flawless I highly highly recommend you hire a planner. Someone that will be on top of everything so nothing gets overlooked. During my ceremony the microphone did not work. Maribel informed me she had asked the groom and officiant to check that the mic was working. I don't believe these duties should be assigned to them specially the groom as he is busy with so many other things the day of the wedding. During the reception we ran out of food. We are still trying to figure out how this happened as additional plates were ordered. I did tell Maribel I would've appreciated if someone notified me so I could've apologized to the guests that didn't receive plates. During the dance I had brought in special lights to be passed out. I did tell a couple of workers at least twice that those lights needed to be passed out during the dance. And they were not. Other nuances happened that I tried to communicate and Maribel's response was that as a bride I should've known and that it was poor planning from my behave. Which maybe it was but also this was my first time getting married so there is no way I could've know and I trusted them since they claim to have events every weekend. And also as a client that is not what I expect to hear. Overall, I think the team tries their best but i do feel communication could've been better. Also, please save yourself the trouble and hire a planner to overlook everything because things will be missed. I forgot to mention I came in Thursday to set up the venue, I offered to put the place cards in their place for dinner and I was told by the young girl with the glasses that the table clothes were not ready and that she could do that. We came back the next day (Friday) and half of our place cards were missing. I am not saying they lost them but I did offer to put them up myself when none of them were missing. I trusted them since they said they handle 30-40 booking at a time. Maribel said a couple of things were missing and but never reached out to me to clarify.
