From the reviews
I had my wedding here and it went perfectly! The staff here are so nice and work with you to make sure everything is just how you want it. The venue itself is so adorable and cute and was perfect. The food was amazing!!! I got so many compliments on the venue and the food.
Had my son's wedding reception there tonight! Everything was Perfect!! Thank you Catalina and staff, Jenna and Madison from Compass Rose, Mike from Dragon Studios, Fairfield Flowers, Sugar Plum Bakery, DJ Chris, what a beautiful venue!
My sister got married here. I did not hear of anything negative with her dealings with the coordinator. The staff was so friendly! The facility, just refreshed from a makeover, was beautiful! My sister wedding was a great experience at this location.
Had my wedding here March 30, 2019 and it was awesome! Lovvvve the way they redid the inside. Don't judge it by the looks of the outside because it just doesn't give it the justice it deserves.
Getting married at Festival on 8th
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.
