From the reviews
We had our wedding at Grace, and I’m still speechless when I think about it. The venue itself is so unique and absolutely stunning — it truly speaks for itself. But what made the experience even more special was the incredible team behind it.
Grace was an EXCEPTIONAL place to celebrate. My husband and I both grew up in the church and it was so fun to be able to have some church vibes while completely making it our own. The bar staff was WONDERFUL and really made us feel taken care of. Anne was super helpful in getting everything set up in advance.
Beautiful restaurant, amazing charcuterie boards and even better drinks!! This is a beautiful location in an old renovated church - once in a lifetime experience for great food and a unique setting!!
Highly recommended! Awesome setting, amazing food, & excellent service. You can't go wrong!
Getting married at Grace Wedding Venue & Event Center
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.
