Porterhouse Productions in Traverse City is launching Spectacular Structures, a luxury mobile venue designed to host over 4,000 guests. The customizable, modern tent structure is the first of its kind in the country and is poised to expand hospitality capabilities in both the state and Northern Michigan.
“Whether it’s local symphonies looking to play in an outdoor covered venue, chambers of commerce planning business expos, wedding planners looking for a unique event setting or national touring artists booking high-capacity stages in Michigan, this venue will allow us to cater to every single one of those demographics,” explains Sam Porter, owner of Porterhouse Productions.
Spectacular Structures can be heated or cooled, open or enclosed and can host both big and small-scale events. The mobile structure comes with a 53-foot semi-trailer that doubles as both transportation for the venue and a independent refrigeration unit that can be used separately for food and beverage service.
“Our first priority is to build a market here in Traverse City, providing this venue as a resource for our community as well as other communities in the state,” says Porter. “By focusing on bringing tourism dollars, national partners and high-profile entertainment and business to Michigan, we hope to build a nexus of excitement and energy that can then expand outward to other states.”
Porterhouse Productions will utilize the tent at upcoming concerts and festivals while allowing for outside rental by communities, event planners, corporations and conferences throughout the Midwest.
