From the reviews
Held my wedding here and the experience was amazing. The owners seriously go out of their way to make you feel special. Food was 10/10 and the service was amazing.
Amazing views, relaxed and welcoming atmosphere, awesome food with a rotating variety of local breweries on tap. Little gem and let's not forget how awesome the staff is, most especially Kady 😎.
Lovely views, quiet environment, the Gatling Pointe community is a great place to visit or live.
Getting married at Gatling Pointe 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.
