“We booked this venue for our wedding reception it was amazing and they cost was affordable!”

From the reviews

Hosted my daughter's birthday/graduation party here. TYC is a cute quaint place with a nice view of the water and VERY budget friendly. Both Randy & Jenny were a pleasure to work with. I would highly recommend booking TYC as a venue.

Had a great time @ the Totem Yacht Club. If your having a small group event. This is the way to go! I'd come here again!

★★★★★ — Waydell, Nov 2018

The facility was clean and accessible. Parking was at an odd angle on a hill and most of the good spots were reserved for governing members of the club. It's not a huge venue but big enough for a large family event like ours

★★★★☆ — Tom, Nov 2024

Getting married at Totem Yacht Club

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.
