From the reviews
Expensive but worth it. The steak looked a little over cooked but once I bit into it that thought instantly vanished in my mind. The special soup they had was absolutely mind blowing. Beautiful view of the ocean from where we sat. Delicious! Was so full but kept eating!
Our wedding on March 28 was incredible! Ashley listened and understood our expectations and along with her team make our day everything we could have imagined! We highly recommend Magnolias for any special event! Pure perfection!
Thrilled that Magnolias is open again!! We had an outstanding dinner. The food and service was fantastic, not to mention the renovations that have been done. We enjoyed a beverage in the new outdoor bar before dinner, loved it and you cannot beat the view!!! It is a must- will not disappoint!!!
Getting married at Magnolias on the Bay
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.
