We loved our special day at Pier Suite. The views are immaculate, right on the beach, but on the 3rd floor, so you feel private. We did our ceremony on the deck and then the reception inside. The weather was perfect, and the venue worked with our timeline. I couldn't recommend this venue enough. Look forward to our future vow renewal years later!
