From the reviews
Let me tell you something. My niece had her wedding here last week and it was magically beautiful. We all had a blast. But that is not why I writing you today. I, ofcourse, left my prescription sunglasses. By the time I realized it I was already back in my home state of Virginia.
I went to a good friend's wedding at this club and it was very nice. Everything was really beautiful and the whole evening was great. I also learned that this is a sort of historical spot and been around forever. The food was great too!
Super beautiful spot! I loved hanging out here. The space is very open and water all over. The ocean across the street and behind you. It's very nice! You have to go down Mandalay all the way to the end to get there. But st the same time it's close! If that makes sense.
We had our wedding recently at the Carlouel Yacht Club and it was absolutely perfect. Mandy was great to work with and was always helpful, professional, and very communicative. The staff on our wedding day were so much fun and so helpful and not to mention all the food was delicious.
Getting married at Carlouel Yacht Club
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.
