    “I couldn’t dream of a better wedding venue than Jimmy’s Jazz Club—it truly could not have been more perfect for our special day!! The moment I first stepped in the doors of the venue back in the fall of 2021, I knew immediately that it’s where I wanted to get married someday. And I hadn’t even met my husband yet! Thankfully, he is also crazy about Portsmouth and it made so much sense to have our wedding in the heartbeat of our favorite city. From the attention to detail to the stunning history, gorgeous details, and upscale amenities, it was an ideal setting. Plus, the acoustics for all of the music, cozy, intimate feel, and cocktail hour in the wonderful art gallery downstairs… It was amazing in every way. I could not recommend this venue more. Hands down, wouldn’t ever have wanted it anywhere else. Absolutely perfect!”
