From the reviews

We had our wedding reception at Stanly Hall Ballroom on 5/27/23. From the beginning, David was incredibly helpful, kind, and responsive. It is a beautiful space, and everything appears well maintained. We had a wonderful time and would recommend this venue to anyone!

Beautiful venue and amazing staff! They go above and beyond to make your event perfect! We rented the hall for our daughters wedding this past weekend and it was so clean and well kept. The wedding was beautiful and I would highly recommend using this venue!

Getting married at Stanly Hall Ballroom

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.
