The team at Woodwinds was a pleasure to work with from start to finish. Their communication was always clear, concise and timely, which was invaluable in the wedding planning process. On the day of our wedding, they made sure my husband and I were able to eat and drink enough throughout the night, and they were very accommodating when the weather changed quickly. Woodwinds is worth every penny - they truly went above and beyond to make our special day perfect.

  • No on-site guest accommodations
I had my wedding at Anthony’s Ocean View. It was amazing and well worth every penny. Brian and Marcello are the best! I will say, the only negative aspect is that I was under the impression that only 1 wedding happened at a time - there was another wedding happening right next to us. This impacted our music, our photos and my speech was cut off because the other weddings music was so loud that the floor vibrated and I had to ask staff to do something. Other than that, the venue was beautiful, so accommodating, and food was absolutely fantastic. Would recommend Anthony’s to anyone.
