From the reviews

My husband and I got married here in July, and could not be more thankful we chose French's Point. From the very beginning to end, the owners and staff were exceptionally professional, organized, and available for suggestions, questions, and concerns.

★★★★★ — Abbey, Sep 2018

There will never be enough words to describe how happy and satisfied we were with French’s Point (and Jessika & Nicole)! We found French’s Point in a magazine and just knew we had to set up a tour. From the second we walked into the venue we fell in love with it and couldn’t imagine getting married anywhere else.

★★★★★ — Julianna, Nov 2018

My husband and I got married here May 10, 2025 and it was spectacular! We had never seen the venue in advance, but after speaking to Jessika and reading reviews online we felt comfortable booking it for just six months out. And it was better than we could have ever imagined!

★★★★★ — Alex, May 2025

We hosted our wedding weekend at French’s Point this past November and it was pure magic. This is such a unique and established venue with a rich history. We toured with the owner, Jessika, a few short weeks after our proposal and absolutely fell in love with the estate and grounds.

Getting married at French's Point

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.
