Planning perspective

What to consider before reaching out

A strong first conversation is about fit, not just availability. Share your date, approximate guest count, location, and the feeling you want the day to have. Ask what is included, what typically changes the final quote, and what decisions need to be made earliest.

For a venue partner, confirm how communication works, who will be present on the day, and how the team handles changes. Pricing was not included in the supplied research, so request a current, itemized proposal directly from the business.

Absolutely stunning venue, wonderful coordinator, exceptional vendors, a perfect setup for the BEST DAY EVER! Kimberley was the best coordinator for the venue and answered all my questions with ease and kindness. She made my day so special. The venue is so beautiful, affordable, and absolutely wonderful. We loved it and would highly recommend it!

I hosted a party for about 85 people at the Elks on June 10th and I have nothing but good things to say about this venue. Kimberley Banks was my contact leading up to the event; she was a consummate professional when it came to planning the details (big and small). Patty ran the show the day of the event and was always available when I needed her. This venue is unique in that it is both affordable and elegant. Oh, and the water views cannot be beat!

What a fun lodge, great people, and beautiful location! Thank you so much, Brenda Leahy, for allowing me to spend the night in my RV in the parking lot. Unfortunately, the rain moved in overnight so I didn't get to see my sunrise over the water, but maybe next time! Happy trails to all!

What a beautiful reception hall. We were there for our celebration of life for a dear friend and the set up was absolutely stunning. It was just what she would’ve wanted to the flowers. The mason jars all of it was just awesome. The food was phenomenal. It was an excellent view of the ocean. The only complaint I have is the acoustics in the room. It was just with all the windows or something. It’s the voices just it’s so far too loud but other than that I would say hands-down one of the best events I’ve been to event rooms I’ve been to rather .
