From the reviews
We had our Wedding here in January 2023 and I have nothing but positive things to say about this hidden gem! We couldn't have asked for a better venue coordinator than Lynn. She went above and beyond to create the perfect wedding day and a great experience for our guests!
We had our 25th anniversary party at the Hornor Maritime Center, and we worked with Lynn. The space is just beautiful, and Lynn is so amazing!! She responds quickly to emails and has so many wonderful ideas to help you plan things and set up the space. It's really beautiful, and the view of the marina is GORGEOUS!!
The venue is wonderful with amazing views of the water/marina. The party space was perfect for our son's Bar Mitzvah of 85 people. Lynn was amazing to work with. Very helpful and made sure everything was perfect for our day. The experience with this venue was incredible from start to finish.
We had a beautiful baby shower at The Hornor Maritime Center this weekend!! The space was clean and beautiful. Lynn was the best hostess we could have asked for!! I would highly recommend this venue!
Getting married at Hornor Maritime 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.
