Serving Tampa Bay with highly themed, custom events
Florida operates at the cross section of the weird and the wonderful, even more so if you find yourself in the Tampa Bay area. Whether you live here or are just visiting you know you came to our little slice of the orange for something unique. So, if you are celebrating a special moment in your life, then why would you want it to be basic?
Here at Portals we want to help everyone celebrate. We have a diverse group of friends and family across the Bay and proudly serve all races, ethnicities, nationalities, religions, as well as the entirety of our LGBTQIA2-S community. If you want to celebrate the love of your family, your friends, your pets, or anything else special in your life we want to be there for you.

Frequently Asked Questions
What event planning services do you offer?
We meet with you to find out your vision for your event, and discuss your budget to brainstorm what we can customize to bring your imagination to life. Whether weddings, corporate events, birthdays, baby showers, engagements, retirements, memorials, dogs bah mitzvah, we will help you create it.
Do you offer day-of wedding coordination?
Day-of wedding coordination is the most important thing we can offer, and we do. Too many times we have seen couples get to the day of only to be let down and have to run the event that is supposed to be all about them. We will make sure everything runs smoothly and you can enjoy your special day.
Will you arrange and manage meetings with my other vendors?
Yes, we will handle all vendor meetings and relay any information you have, unless you would like to be hands on as well. We will cover as much as possible.
Do I pay vendors directly, or will you handle payment coordination?
We will handle all payments. We want you to be able to relax and be in the moment.
What makes your planning style unique?
We enjoy events outside the norm, the wilder the better, and we help bring it to life. We have planned a classic Hollywood wedding, a Las Vegas wedding based on the Alec Baldwin movie The Shadow, an Animorphs themed birthday party, even a casino themed memorial service. No theme is too wild.
