The Portico Event Center
Coming soon to Collingwood Community Campus, The Portico Event Center is a new gathering place designed for celebrations, connection, creativity, and community.
Inspired by the character and history of our campus, The Portico blends timeless architecture with modern hospitality to create a welcoming setting for weddings, receptions, showers, meetings, performances, and special events.
More than an event venue, The Portico is part of a larger vision for Collingwood Community Campus: a place where meaningful gatherings can flourish while supporting the community-centered work already rooted here.
The Banquet Hall
The heart of The Portico Event Center, the Banquet Hall is envisioned as an elegant and flexible gathering space for weddings, receptions, banquets, performances, galas, and community celebrations.
Historic architectural details, warm wood finishes, and abundant natural light create a timeless atmosphere that feels both sophisticated and welcoming. Whether hosting an intimate dinner or a larger celebration, the hall is designed to adapt to the occasion while providing an unforgettable backdrop for meaningful moments.
Catering & Beverage Service
Thoughtfully designed hospitality spaces help bring every event together. The catering and beverage area is envisioned as a welcoming hub where guests can gather, connect, and enjoy refreshments throughout an event.
Whether serving cocktails, coffee, desserts, or a full catered experience, this space is designed to support seamless service while complementing the character and elegance of the venue.
The Parlor
The Parlor is envisioned as a private event suite designed for comfort, preparation, and relaxation before special moments.
Perfect for brides getting ready, wedding parties, speakers, performers, and event hosts, this elegant retreat provides a quiet space to gather, prepare, and unwind. With comfortable seating, dressing areas, and historic charm, The Parlor offers a welcoming behind-the-scenes experience while staying connected to the excitement of the event.
The Lounge
The Lounge is envisioned as a private retreat for grooms, wedding parties, event hosts, and special guests.
Designed for comfort and connection, this inviting suite offers space to relax, gather, and prepare before the day's events. Whether sharing a quiet moment before a ceremony, enjoying refreshments with friends, or taking a break during a celebration, The Lounge provides a comfortable setting that feels both private and welcoming
Guest Restrooms
Thoughtfully designed with the same warmth and character found throughout The Portico, the guest restrooms combine historic-inspired architecture with modern comfort and convenience.
Elegant finishes, spacious vanities, and attention to detail help ensure every part of the guest experience feels welcoming, comfortable, and beautifully considered.
More Than an Event Venue
When you visit The Portico, you'll also discover the larger Collingwood Community Campus.
The campus is home to Collingwood Presbyterian Church, the Sacred Steel Music & History Museum, Unbounded Artists, the Johnson Family Center, community gathering spaces, and a variety of educational, artistic, and neighborhood-focused programs.
Together, these spaces help make the campus a unique destination in Toledo's historic Old West End.
