From the reviews

Gina is was our event coordinator and she couldn’t have been more accommodating! I had my wedding here and the venue was great! Gina’s help made our big day a breeze and the communication between the venue and the vendors was fabulous. Our wedding had around 40+ people and there was plenty of room for everyone.

Just had our wedding here in April! I can’t say enough good things about Lisa! She was a book of knowledge and helped our day run smoothly! The venue itself it’s breathtaking & the view is an extra bonus! :)

Getting married at Wedding-801 Ocean

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.
