Wedding & Event Venue Spotlight - Halo at the Point, Portland, Maine

Located in Portland, Maine on Thompson's Point, the Halo at the Point is an incredible venue to hold your wedding or event at. Between the natural light, rustic architecture, and oceanfront areas, Halo doesn't disappoint and is truly a dream for photographers and couples alike! I had the opportunity to visit here on a bit of a dreary February afternoon, however, I was very impressed by the venue. I had passed by it a ton of times as I frequent the area between the Children's museum and the occasional concert. I always thought to myself what a cool building this must be inside and as it turns out, I was right!

Elena, the Events Coordinator, was kind enough to show me around the facility and helped to answer any questions I had. She pointed out a lot of helpful information about this truly beautiful venue:

• To help make sure everything runs smoothly, there is an A/V tech on site during events to help make sure any electronic equipment from microphones to speakers are in working order!
• No additional lighting needs to be brought in as there are beautiful lantern lights illuminating the space. They can be adjusted to any color pattern or settings you would like! In addition, the building receives a ton of beautiful natural light.
