Since then, we have continued to use Churchill events for large family gatherings or cocktail parties.

Craig and his crew are top notch professionals who know completely what they are doing. They have always done their very best to get us exactly what we want. This family birthday will be perfect.

He showed up early, he showed up to rehearsal and he worked with me the entire time on what I was looking for! He was able to bring everything we needed for audio for the ceremony and reception!

Defiantly won't be disappointed!

Lone Pine Brewing originally from Portland has this as a seasonal spot as part of the Westbrook…read moreRevitalization project as part of Rock Row. What you get here is an open air large space beer garden that now serves wine and some cocktails. If you didn't know Lone Pine also makes their own in house Vodka now. They are often partnering up with food trucks here too, so you can get tasty food with your drinks. Check their social media to see the truck schedule. So much seating available with many different options, some with shade/covering and some not. With plenty of games (cornhole, fooseball, etc) to keep you entertained! The day I went it was surprisingly dead for a Friday but with the amount of space they have you'd need a lot of people for it to feel busy/crowded. Although if it was busy I could see a very large drink line forming due to how drink ordering worked. If the weather is great and you want to enjoy a beverage outdoors that isn't the typically bar/brewery patio this is your spot! Great spot for large groups and/or place to meet up with friends. Also for Lone Pine fans you can enjoy their beers without going into Portland. I'm not sure how often I would return, it was a limited number of beers and I would just prefer another setting most the time. Worth checking out though!

About a year ago, I had a pretty cruddy customer service experience with another party rental…read morecompany in the Greater Portland area, so I made a vow to try A Plus Party Rentals for my next big shindig. Pros: + I needed round, high-top, cocktail tables. At the other party rental place: $40. At A Plus Party Rental? $8. I KID YOU NOT. I don't understand this at all, but it's magical and I'll take it. Segue... + Generally speaking, their prices are always a bit cheaper than the other big party rental place in South Portland. Did I ever tell you the one about the $40 high-top cocktails? No? See above. + They had all the items I needed when I showed up. At the other party rental place, they hemmed and hawed with me about what I needed and when I needed it by. + Even though they weren't supposed to (and I hope this doesn't get them in trouble), the two young men in the "warehouse" area loaded all of our equipment in and out of our U-Haul. To sit back and watch them load made me feel like a princess... I did ask multiple times if I could help, and they very politely told me I didn't have to. They were respectful, they were responsible, and they were thoughtful - asked questions about what we were doing before the event, remembered who we were and asked about our event when we went to return everything, and even helped us clean the U-Haul after (knowing U-Haul fines for any piece of litter left in the bed or cab). + Every person I encountered - from the young men, to the woman in the office, to the man with the delivery truck (who I think was the owner) - was a rockstar at customer service. Accommodating, efficient, timely... I so appreciated being treated like a customer here, while at the other party rental place I was made to feel like a joke. Thank you, A Plus Party Rentals, for treating me like a human regardless of the size of my order! Cons: - For the life of her, the woman I was speaking to when I called could not understand me despite spelling everything out multiple times very slowly; as such my name and address were completely wrong when I got my receipt which I had to call a second and third time to have sent to me when they didn't send it the first and second time I called asking for it. - They are located REALLY off the beaten path. If you're throwing a party in Portland proper, it's quite the extra effort to get the stuff from A Plus Party Rentals and bring it back into town. All in all, these folks are worth your time if you like being treated with respect and saving money. Two things I know I appreciate always!

We also were planning a cross country wedding so we weren't able to travel for tastings or meetings as our wedding got closer. Gina worked with us every step of the way and was so organized and communicative. Countless phone calls, zoom meetings and emails over the past 2 years ended up with a fantastic event. She helped us plan our menu, logistics and timing of meals during the cocktail hour and dinner. She also handled the bar as a part of our catering package. She was so flexible with dietary accommodations for allergies and vegans/vegetarians. Her staff was so friendly and professional and made sure we were always fed and had a drink throughout the night. Highly recommend! Thanks again Gina and team!

The ceiling lighting and draping added just the right touch. Everyone loved it. The only reason this isn't a 5-star review is because the wedding planner realized, at the last minute, that the draping near the door wouldn't work as it was set. I was surprised that Robin didn't realize this before she left. The bride and the wedding planner moved some things around and it worked perfectly. We were very impressed with the work that Maine Event did under very weird circumstances in a very weird space. I would highly recommend them.
