The Monterey Ballroom was an absolute dream for our wedding! From the moment we first inquired, their communication was fast, open, and incredibly helpful. The venue itself is gorgeous, with both indoor and outdoor spaces that provided the perfect setting for our special day. What really made them stand out though was their incredible attention to detail - they helped us decorate the space beautifully, and even gifted us mimosa supplies for the morning of the wedding! The owner, Mike, was amazing and made sure everything went so smoothly. We also loved that they had outdoor games for our guests to enjoy. The value was fantastic, and we couldn't have asked for a better wedding venue. We highly recommend the Monterey Ballroom to any couple looking to get married!

We had our September wedding aboard the Magnolia Blossom. Captain Dan and his crew were absolutely amazing to work with and went above and beyond. Tamara even helped me bustle my dress when we couldn't figure out how to do it. There are lots of areas for photos, on the river, the dock, in the marina, and at the park, just a short walk from the Marina. We had a lot of compliments from our guests on how unique our wedding was, oh, and the food was amazing as well! I would 100% recommend Magnolia Blossom Cruises to any couple looking for a riverboat cruise wedding!
