“Two years ago, me and my now husband were looking at vendors and venus. We went to a bridal showcase and we fell in love with everything about this place. All of our vendors were there for us to pick out. Jerry Was there and from that moment I'm the communication never stopped. We had to change our date a couple of times and he accommodated. when I said wanted to come to pick out stuff and the sign paperwork. But we need to bring our son Jerry said bring him along, even let him sign the papers. Even until moments before me walking down the aisle. I knew that everything at the venue would be OK because he communicated with us. Even 2 days before are wedding. It was perfect and it was. More than what we had expected, the staff ,bartender ,the DJ and the Baker was so nice and so sweet. Our family and friends still to this day. Talk about how amazing are wedding was and the food and the music and the desserts. Thank you for making our feel magical”

“Fishermen's Inn was the perfect venue for our wedding. Their communication style was effective, fast, and thorough from the moment we first inquired about booking. The quality of their work and the overall value was exceptional - everything was clean, elegant, and beautifully orchestrated. They went above and beyond to ensure our special day was perfect. For example, I had a large cross that didn't fit the altar in the ceremony space, but instead of not allowing me to have anything at all, they provided their own ceremony cross for us to use free of charge. We loved this venue and felt it was worth every penny. They have so many included perks which allows you way less stress on wedding planning. We got so many compliments from our guests on how beautiful the property was and how amazing the food was. The staff clearly knows what they're doing and truly want you to have the perfect wedding day!”
