From the reviews
I had such a great experience working with the staff of Mary's Hope. So helpful. Made my wedding day easy. Location was beautiful, Michelle was a huge part of making my experience great. My wedding couldn't have been any better. I can't say enough good things about the place.
We cannot put into words how wonderful our entire wedding experience was with Michelle and Mary’s Hope. From the time we toured the venue, through after our wedding day, Michelle was by our sides and helped us at every step. Our wedding day ran smoothly, and was absolutely magical.
Mary's Hope was wonderful. The staff was caring, helpful, and went above and beyond in all facets of our wedding there. The location was absolutely beautiful (we recommend an evening wedding to capture the amazing sunset and weather), the people were exceptionally friendly and capable, and there's absolutely nothing…
Where do I even start?! From the beginning of searching for this venue to our big wedding day, we have felt the least stressed with Mary's Hope. Michelle and Suzi were so helpful, organized, and treated us like family.
Getting married at Mary's Hope on Church Cove
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.
