“Our day of celebrating went off without a hitch and my sister couldn’t have been happier with how the day turned out.”
From the reviews
My husband and I got married here in December and had a really great experience. Everyone was friendly and easy to work with. We were looking for a small, cozy wedding and they delivered! The brunch menu was great and we really enjoyed the entire experience.
My husband and I got married there in Oct of 2022. Food was amazing, drinks were well made and the staff were very accommodating. So thankful I discovered them. We had the best day.
We came for the Candlelight Concert. Excellent musicians and loved the Halloween theme for their performance. They were amazing to watch. On the flip side, the venue wasn’t as grand as portrayed to be and was quite underwhelming.
Attended the Christmas Carol show. This was our second time here but we haven't been to the restaurant yet. The venue is great for the Edgar Allan Poe speakeasy and A Christmas Carol shows due to the intimate seating and amazing acting troupe responsible for making the Magic ✨🪄 happen each and every performance!!!
Getting married at Whitechapel Projects
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.
