    Book this place!

    Celebrate at Snug Harbor was nothing short of incredible, and we couldn't be happier to have had our wedding there. The staff is kind and helpful and really rooting for you the entire wedding planning journey and even provide a book for you to work through the month leading up to the big day. The tall ceilings and large windows of the Upper Great Hall are elegant and created beautiful natural lighting during our ceremony. The Lower Gallery is equally spacious and worked well for our cocktail hour, a big plus as we had over 180 guests. So many of our guests raved about the food, and one reason we booked with Celebrate was their diverse and extensive menu. They also really went above and beyond with guests' dietary restrictions and made our custom cocktail come to life! We loved that booking Celebrate also meant catering, staffing, furniture, and linens would all be arranged through one vendor. They also include a wedding coordinator (shout out to Roshani who is amazing and proactive about working with other vendors), a bridal attendant, and an assistant. While we chose to have our wedding entirely indoors, we took our photos outdoors and were grateful for the access to the Chinese Scholar's Garden. They really delivered on providing a special day.

    Vegan Tuscan Garden Wedding

    The Celebrate team was incredibly professional and helpful from start to finish. From the logistics and aesthetics, and the food to staffing, everything was easy and clear throughout the process. An additional challenge was making all food vegan but catering to non-vegan guests, and the culinary staff did an amazing job. Highly recommend Snug Harbor and would definitely host an event there again in the future.

    Perfection

    Celebrate at Snug Harbor continues to be one of my favorite venues to work with. Every detail is handled with care, and having Kenzie as the main point of contact makes all the difference. She's the captain of the ship, keeping things running smoothly while creating space for vendors to do their best work. I recently DJ’d the BNI Prefer to Refer holiday party there, and like every event I've done at Snug, it was executed beautifully from start to finish. The communication is seamless, the team is organized and respectful of every role, and the guest experience is always a priority. I look forward to every opportunity to work with Kenzie and the entire Snug Harbor crew.

    Celebrate Sales Team•Jan 22, 2026

    Thank you, Eric! We are truly grateful for your thoughtful review and kind words. It means so much to our team to have a partnership with you and know that you highly recommend working at our venue!

    BNI PREFER TO REFER recently attended our Holiday party at "CELEBRATE AT SNUG HARBOR" . The event planner was Kenzie Culver. The experience was excellent. The event was well organized, the staff was professional and attentive, and the atmosphere was welcoming. The food was also amazing. Everything ran smoothly from start to finish, and our team truly enjoyed the evening. We would absolutely recommend "KENZIE CULVER AND CELEBRATE AT SNUG HARBOR"] for future events and look forward to attending again.
