From the reviews
My wife and I held our wedding here, Roxanne and Brydi made the process of planning the wedding and the actual wedding so easy for us. We had very little worry about set up or clean up. They worked with us through the entire process, the ceremony was held outdoors in their yard near the river.
We just had our wedding reception at The Depot and it was the best decision we made! The venue is gorgeous, Brydi and Roxanne were just wonderful to work with! They made the whole process a breeze and I couldn’t have been more thankful for them.
This was the perfect place and experience for our wedding! They helped us decorate the day before, handle everything the day of, and clean up the day after. They made sure everything went smoothly and even bartender themselves during the reception!
My husband and I got married at The Depot in June. Brydi and Roxane gave us a great experience from start to finish and treated us like family. The small details of our day were very important to me and they helped me make everything perfect, including planning, setup, and tear down.
Getting married at The Depot on Fletcher Street
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.
