We had our wedding at Harbour View Inn and couldn't be happier with our choice. Becky was incredible to work with—she responded quickly to every question and made the whole planning process feel stress-free. The venue itself has this warm, intimate feel that was perfect for our 40-50 guests, and we loved having access to the front and side porches to spread out and enjoy the space. The grounds are stunning, the reception room looked beautiful, and the staff let our DJ have fun with the music, which kept the energy going. Everything went exactly as we planned, and our guests kept saying how special the day felt. If you are looking for a beautiful, cozy and intimate wedding reception for 50 guests then HVI is your spot!
