From the reviews
We truly had our dream wedding at the Port (Arbor at the Port). The minute we walked into the building we knew it was the wedding venue for us. From the beautiful setting to the amazing staff, we were hooked! We cannot say enough about the staff. We worked with Carly to curate our perfect wedding.
If I could give them more than 5 stars I would! We planned our wedding from out of state and Carly and the rest of the Arbor team made the process so easy, they had everything handled! The venue is absolutely gorgeous and the team was so attentive and helpful.
Our wedding day was truly a dream come true, and we owe so much of that to our incredible venue. From start to finish, everything was absolutely perfect—every detail felt thoughtful, seamless, and so us.
My sister got married here this past weekend and it was ann insanely beautiful wedding!! We had the most magical perfect day and the newlyweds are so happy the bridal suite up stairs “the palm room” was incredible and everything we needed for getting ready! Carley the coordinator WAS AMAZING!!
Getting married at Arbor at the Port
Two things make the tour worth the drive. First, see the ceremony spot at the exact time of day you'd say your vows — a west-facing beach glows at sunset but bakes at noon, and you'll want to feel the wind, watch where the sun sits, and walk the path your guests take across the sand. Second, bring your real questions: the weather backup (where does the ceremony move if it rains or the wind kicks up?), who pulls the beach permit, the sound-ordinance curfew, the catering and bar policy, and exactly what's included — chairs, setup, and teardown on sand are where quotes quietly diverge. Peak beach dates book 12–18 months out, so if the tour feels right, ask what's open in your season before you leave.
