It mad me sad to see only 1 review here and it had nothing to do with weddings. We have done many weddings there and the staff has always been amazing, the venue is beautiful, the food has been great, and THE BEACH! What's not to love? We hope one day to be added to their preferred vendor list so we can do even more weddings at this beautiful venue.
