From the reviews
Great outdoor venue! Right on the water. Beautiful scenery. Great food and drink selection. Plenty of room if you're behind the sound board area. Very well organized. The "chair and blanket" section is located about 50 feet behind the soundboard, and is separated by some barriers. You can spread-out nicely there.
One of my most favorite places to see a show in all the land! The venue appeals to all the senses! Glorious music for the ears to fill your soul; beautiful surroundings, lights and sunsets for the eyes; all the coastal smells; tasty food truck awesomeness for your mouth and sweet outdoor air on your skin.
Always such a great experience at Thompson's point! I've been there a couple times and it was easy to find, everyone is always so helpful. Parking is quite a bit pricey at the venue.
Thompson point was a fun venue. The views were amazing. Food trucks fun but pricey for amount served main stage looked fantastic hope to come up again to see a band on that stage! I enjoyed the museums very much. The employees were a bit strict with entrance to a free show.
Getting married at Thompson's Point
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.
