From the reviews

We had our wedding Reception here on the Private event floor. Jeff and Keri Did an awesome job on On everything from planning to execution. Bartender was awesome, food was great and the music selection was all the music we had requested. We couldn’t have asked for a better time!! Thank you!!!

★★★★★ — Stan, May 2025

Great times with wonderful views of the intracoastal waterway and Bogue Sound. Enjoy a Jack's juice or a ice cold beer in the open air bar on the first floor. The nice breeze off the Sound makes the experience great 👍. Live music all weekend long.

★★★★★ — Dave, Jul 2023

Great spot on the waterfront in Morehead, the food, service and facilities are all top-notch. All the staff are very friendly as well...Jacob did an awesome job of making sure we never got thirsty! The pizza is absolutely amazing and the beer is always cold.

Getting married at Jack's On The Waterfront

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.
