My husband and I had our wedding here July 2020 and we were so happy about to accommodations and pricing. This is a great roomy place on the water. Perfect for weddings, reunions, sweet16, graduations... need I say more?! Its perfect and beautiful!! Thank you PBE!! 😊
Perfect place for a small wedding and reception. We were able to have our wedding outside with beautiful views of the water. Our reception was held inside the community center with plenty of room for dinner, dancing, and celebrating. Very affordable! Highly recommend.
The view, just wow. Reasonably priced, clean and Charlotte was wonderful to work with. 100% perfection.
The view is breathtaking. The venue itself is contemporary modern and very clean. Placid Bay Event Venue is the perfect place to have your event!!!!
Getting married at Placid Bay Event Venue
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.
