★★★★★ — Suzanne, May 2021

We had our dream wedding at the Inn at Longshore. I cannot say enough good words about this venue. The venue is just stunning inside and out, the location overlooking the water is so picturesque, the outdoor cocktail hour is so classy, and the indoor venue itself has hardwood floors, big windows that face the water…

Getting married at The Inn at Longshore

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.
