The Woman's Club of Portsmouth
Originally built in 1929, the Woman's Club of Portsmouth is a stunning wedding venue in the heart of Coastal Virginia. Vaulted ceilings, original hardwood floors, and an abundance of natural light are just a few of the highlights of this timeless building. Couples seeking an intimate, yet charming wedding, are drawn to the southern elegance that the Woman's Club of Portsmouth has to offer. The main ballroom can host up to 250 guests and can be used for both your ceremony and reception. For those hoping for an outdoor ceremony, there is a large outdoor deck with a pergola that is surrounded by well-manicured grounds and mature trees that give you a private and serene location to say "I do." The covered front porch is equipped with lighting, fans, and a gas fireplace, making it the perfect place for cocktail hour during any season. Proceeds from the Woman's Club of Portsmouth are used by the non-profit organization, the Portsmouth Service League, to serve and give back to the Hampton Roads Community.

The Woman's Club of Portsmouth was everything that we could have dreamed of for my daughter's June 2023 wedding. I truly cannot say enough about this venue to relay how epic the wedding day was! Chrissy, the venue manager, was completely detailed in the planning process from emails to required paperwork and checklists, it was all laid out perfectly so that everyone was on the same page, always. The venue itself became a magical stage for the entire day. Getting ready there, having the ceremony, cocktail hour on the back porch, photos around the property, and then dinner and dancing there made the day a seamless event! We heard repeatedly, 'This venue is beautiful!!!' again and again from our guests! The WCP created a perfect backdrop for my daughter's dream wedding to come to life!

We LOVED this space so much. It was completely open with hard wood floors and natural lighting. The staff always answered my emails in a timely manner and checked in periodically with any paperwork they may have needed. Our guests loved the space and it fit 60 people very comfortably.

We held our wedding at Woman's Club of Portsmouth this past June. The staff of Woman's Club were very professional, clear and consistent with their communication, and friendly. As a venue, we found Woman's Club ideal because it offered us options for both an indoor or outdoor wedding, an excellent space for both ceremony and reception in one location, and an ideal space we were able to personalize into our wedding vision. Perks include its location (within 10-15 minutes of hotels in both downtown Norfolk and Portsmouth) and the two porches that are great for photos/cocktail hour. Your guests will thank you for the excellent air conditioning during the ceremony!

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!Jenn and Maddy S.

We had our wedding and reception at the Woman’s Club on January 26th and it was beautiful! Working with the Woman’s Club was an amazing experience! They are so flexible, they respond quickly to e-mails, and they are very kind and professional. Whatever questions I had, they had an answer. They told us exactly what we needed to and how we needed to it. The provide so much that other venues don’t typically offer like valet parking, tables, and you have the place for 12 hours. They made my day easy, the place is beautiful, the getting ready rooms are big, the venue itself is huge and gorgeous and most importantly their stuff understands quality customer service. I highly recommend them!

We were SO pleased that we chose The Woman's Club of Portsmouth as the venue for our wedding ceremony and reception. Brittany was incredibly helpful along the way with providing information and allowing us to visit the venue multiple times to take pictures and measure. This venue is absolutely gorgeous with Southern Elegance mixed with modern touches. We could not have picked a more beautiful venue.

It has a lot of potential for decor so you can do anything your heart imagines. I love it the way it is and just added minor touches!

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 my numerous amounts 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.

This venue is very gorgeous. The grounds are pretty and the inside offers the perfect rustic, chic look that is very popular for weddings. It also offers a great kitchen for catering staff to use and the fact that it does offer chairs and tables is a bonus to avoid more rental costs. I love that they are flexible with personal choice of caterer and third party companies to provide all event needs. The only negative about the venue is the cost. It is very expensive considering other high requested wedding venues, plus all the additional rental costs that are incurred with using a venue that does not offer dishes, linens, etc. Overall, not too expensive, but on the high end for all you get with the rental cost. As far as communication, I was very happy with working with Brittany and did not have any issues. She is very fast at responding and helping with anything needed.\r

Not only is the Woman's Club of Portsmouth absolutely gorgeous, but Brittany and the other staff I worked with there are wonderful. Brittany's communication was AWESOME. She answered every email I sent quickly and also kept me (and the other upcoming brides) informed about what she needed from us and other information that would be helpful (hours they were open, etc.). On my wedding day when it was all set up with tables, linens, flowers, etc. it was so stunning I almost cried! It was unbelievable. The maintenance staff was available when I arrived that morning with decorations, and they offered to help me carry things in and made themselves available by phone if there was anything we needed at all. I considered many venues in Hampton Roads, but The Woman's Club of Portsmouth had everything I wanted -- charming, beautiful venue, elegant feel without being stuffy, great price, outside vendors allowed, awesome communication/responsiveness, options for outdoor or indoor ceremony. Just perfect! Highly recommended.

As the mother of the bride, I will say The Woman's club of Portsmouth was a magnificent venue for my daughter's wedding day. They allow you to bring your own vendors so I hired Primo events of Virginia Beach for the catering portion and was working with Ron Form on the menu and reception timeline. My daughter and I wanted a cocktail appetizers reception party and food was coming out at different times which made our wedding very festive. Chef Anthony did a fabulous job and his food was so delicious.\rI would recommend Primo Events as they have all the vendors you will need for your wedding.\rMy family had a wonderful experience thanks to Primo events and Woman's Club staff.

It impressed our big city out-of-town guests.\r Lots of outdoor-porch-deck space and a good traffic pattern. We added spot/pin lighting and highlighted the architectural features-caterers loved the new spacious kithen. The manager worked with us and helped us with our individual needs. If you compare the $ of other local venues, the price is a good value.
