From the moment we first reached out to Driftwood at City Harbor, their communication was quick and efficient. The team was always on top of things, providing prompt responses to our questions and requests. On the day of our wedding, the venue was wonderful - the space had a relaxed, beautiful atmosphere that made us and our guests feel right at home. The food was delicious and the staff provided attentive, friendly service throughout the evening. We couldn't have asked for a more perfect setting to celebrate our special day. Driftwood at City Harbor truly helped make our wedding day one we'll cherish forever.

Driftwood at City Harbor was an absolute joy to work with for our wedding. From the moment we reached out, their communication was prompt, friendly, attentive, and incredibly helpful - they truly went above and beyond to make the planning process a breeze. The value they provided was awesome, with a fair price for their excellent event space. They made everything super easy and were so accommodating throughout the entire process. Driftwood at City Harbor is just one of the best places in terms of an Alabama wedding venue, and we would absolutely love to have another event there in the future. We couldn't recommend them more highly!
