From the reviews
We had our wedding reception here in October 2022 and I can’t recommend it enough. Great location, beautiful inside area, outside patio area and beautiful architecture, plenty of parking. It was my dream venue and I’m in love with it. You can really make it into anything you want!
My brother and new sister in law held their wedding reception here, and it was beautiful. Definitely not your typical event space.
Just recently had our wedding here, and man was It perfect! From the time me and my wife took a tour of the venue, throughout the entire process of planning the wedding, everything went great!
My partner and I had our wedding here and it was absolutely the best! We looked at a few other warehouse type venues and landed on The Eastern. The staff at The Eastern was amazing to work with and really made the whole experience so special. 10/10 would throw another event here.
Getting married at The Eastern
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.
