Wedding Accomodations

Plan your seaside wedding with us!

The upstairs Martha Moore Room serves as an intimate Bridal Suite for the Wedding Party. After relaxing with a glass of champagne and freshening up, charm your guests with a grand entrance down the colonial wooden stairway that connects to the courtyard garden interlude. Our Maddocks Gallery is often configured as a chapel (at no additional cost). Brides planning an outdoor ceremony can enjoy the security of knowing they have an elegant and accommodating "backup" ceremony space, should the heavens decide to rain tears of joy! The Maddocks Gallery also doubles as a rustic yet elegant space for cocktails, hors d'oeuvres, dessert stations and more. Our baby grand piano is often housed in this gallery, and can be used for playing or as a surface for gifts or photographs. Our Hibbard Gallery serves as the main reception area, comfortably accommodating up to 125 guests for a traditional sit-down dinner (180 for a tapas/cocktail style event), leaving ample room for a band or DJ and plenty of dancing!

    We immediately fell in love with RAA&M from the moment we walked in, but little did we know just how perfectly the colors, artwork, and overall vibe would mesh perfectly with our vision and personalities for our wedding day. We wanted a rainbow-artsy-cozy feel for the venue, and we barely had to do any decorating to make that happen. It was absolutely gorgeous and we're so happy to have chosen it for our wedding day. The venue coordinator is very skilled at her job and made sure everything went off without a hitch. My only (minor) complaints are that we didn't get as much time for the rehearsal as we felt we needed, and it felt a bit rushed as a result (and added some unneccessary stress to the day before our wedding). In addition, some of the details about the venue (like the fact that they do the placing of the table placecards, table numbers, and put together our candy table for us) were not clearly communicated, which caused some mild reshuffling of duties the day before. But all in all, those minor issues I would gladly take on again, as they are nothing compared to the horror stories other people have at different venues! Overall, we're so pleased with RAA&M and would have our wedding there again in a heartbeat.
