DBMS wedding
DBMS was an incredible wedding venue. The waterfront setting was beautiful, the space was perfect for our reception, and our guests absolutely loved it. We couldn’t have asked for a better place to celebrate our wedding and would highly recommend DBMS to any couple getting married on the South Shore. Brian and Brooke Aguirre

We chose Duxbury Bay Maritime School for our wedding and couldn't be happier with the decision. The team was incredibly responsive to every question we had and always found quick solutions to our concerns (rain plans, seating arrangements, music indoor vs outdoor, getting ready space, caterers, etc). What really impressed us was how available they were on the day of—they went above and beyond with setup and breakdown, handling details we didn't even ask about. The venue itself is stunning, with that authentic New England coastal charm that made our celebration feel special and unique. From start to finish, the staff treated us like we were their only clients, and their creative touches really brought our vision to life. We'd absolutely recommend this venue to any couple looking for a beautiful seaside setting paired with genuine, helpful service.

DBMS Wedding- June 2026
We couldn't have asked for a better experience at Duxbury Bay Maritime School. Brian, our day-of coordinator, was instrumental in bringing our vision to life with his attention and problem-solving skills. Jen was equally fantastic during the planning phase, making sure every detail we wanted to bring had a dedicated spot. The venue itself is stunning with gorgeous water views and a spacious dance floor that kept our guests entertained all night. Communication was effortless from start to finish, and the payment process was straightforward with no surprises. For an oceanfront wedding, the value we got was hard to beat—we'd recommend this venue to any couple looking for a beautiful, well-run celebration.
DBMS Events - Jen•Jul 8, 2026Thank you for your kind words! I am so glad you had such a beautiful day. Congrats again!

Jenn and Jane made our wedding planning and coordination process easy. We love the views of the bay and did not have to over dress the venue up much for it to be beautiful. They upgraded the bridal suite this year which was a great addition. They stayed on top of the details leading up to our wedding, and on the day itself, they handled everything seamlessly despite the pouring rain and wind on our day - even with the challenging weather and having to rain plan our cocktail hour a bit the day was beautiful.

11/10!
Duxbury Bay Maritime School was the perfect venue for our wedding reception! From the very beginning, Jen was exceptional and so fast to respond to all of my questions and incredibly helpful throughout the planning process. The waterfront view at this venue is simply stunning, even if it happens to rain the entire day! We couldn't have asked for a more beautiful backdrop for our special day. We're so grateful to the Duxbury Bay Maritime School team for helping make our wedding day truly unforgettable.
