A breathtaking backdrop for the most noteworthy events.
The Port Theater features three distinct spaces in one versatile venue. With a full bar and kitchen, our spacious foyer is perfect for reception-hour cocktails, passed appetizers, and photos in front of a step-and-repeat before the main event. Our one-of-a-kind auditorium was designed with moveable seating and paved concrete floors, allowing us to configure most furniture and decor arrangements with ease, and giving our guests a natural dance floor. For breakouts, VIP sections, special event stations or simply a can’t-miss vantage point to capture unforgettable photos and video, the mezzanine bar inside the main auditorium is the perfect perch to oversee the action.
Food & Beverage
Whether you’re enjoying a film on opening night or hosting a gala for 500 guests, we believe that dining at The Port should be delectable. Our kitchen prepares a variety of shareable plates and entrées, including handmade flatbreads, paninis and quesadillas, and our lobby and balcony bars each offer specialty cocktails and an expansive beer and wine list. Need special catering? We partner with Orange County’s most popular and best reviewed catering providers, tailoring service to every client’s needs and budget.
Staging
From seating to decor, lighting, floral arrangements and service staff, our list of preferred providers will ensure every idea is brought to life — and every event executed flawlessly. The Port’s 26’ ceiling height allows for elaborate stage rigging and trusses for aerial performances, and our moveable theater furniture makes every seating configuration—reception, rounds, stations (and, of course, theater seating)—an ease to accommodate. Send us an inquiry at sales@portnewport.com or call us at (949) 988-7303 to share your event ideas and receive a complete list of our preferred vendors.

“We hosted our Holiday Party at the Port Theater and it was the most unique venue our company has seen in years! The staff and management at the Port were absolutely amazing the day of the event and everything went exactly as planned. The drinks and food were fantastic! We showed a Christmas movie in the background and it turned out to be a very festive and magical evening...one that my employees will definitely never forget! I can’t wait to plan another party here!”
