Review of 12th & Porter

I booked an event here for a non-profit fundraiser that accommodated 350 guests.12th & Porter had EXTREMELY steep prices compared to other (and better) venues. We were presented with a contract that had a flat rate of $2,500. We thought this was fair until the additional charges were added, increasing the price to nearly $6,000!!! 12th & Porter made us pay for extra security although it was not needed. Prices changed continuously after we had already payed the down-payment (which prevented us from backing out, otherwise we would've). They made us pay $350 for water....WATER. To which we asked if we could use tap water and their response was yes but you still have to pay $350 for the cups...CUPS. It seemed as if they were adding unreasonable charges just to make extra money. Keep in mind, we are a NON-PROFIT raising money to make a child's wish come true through the MAKE-A-WISH foundation. Overall, I DO NOT recommend using 12th & Porter for your venue.
