This venue is absolutely beautiful and was the perfect setting for my wedding. I loved having the Puget Sound and Narrows Bridge in the backdrop as we said, “I do.”. Having access to the dock for golden hour photos made for some beautiful photos. The venue was a great value for everything it comes with – tables, chairs and linens that view.. it can’t be beat. It was a hot, beautiful, but hot summer day (high of 83 degrees) when I got married at the venue and it was pretty hot throughout the venue, but especially inside bridal suite and cove (where we took a lot of our bridal & family photos). There were some fans in the bridal suite, but I wish I had brought extra fans for the bridal suite because it was HOT. It would have been nice if I had a hand fan for myself during photos because it was just super warm and I had a big hot dress on. The fans inside the main area of the venue helped when you were standing near them, and having the garage doors open helped too but the venue could definitely benefit from a few more giant fans. Other than the heat, it was a great venue. If I had to do anything differently, it would just be to bring some extra fans. It was a sweaty party, but it was a fun party! The Waterfront Venue is a great venue to host your event.

We got married at Mike's Beach Resort in 2019, and it couldn’t have been more perfect! The location is breathtaking, with beautiful waterfront views and a peaceful vibe that made our entire weekend feel magical. Our guests loved staying in the cozy cabins, which were comfortable and had everything they needed. It was so nice to have everyone close by for the whole weekend. Plus, we were thrilled that the resort is pet-friendly—it meant we could include our dog in our special day, which made it even more memorable. The ceremony by the water was absolutely stunning, and the natural beauty of the resort added such a special touch to everything. It was exactly the kind of relaxed and beautiful celebration we had hoped for. If you’re looking for a wedding venue that offers gorgeous scenery, cozy accommodations, and a welcoming atmosphere (for both people and pets!), I can’t recommend Mike's Beach Resort enough. It’s a place we’ll always cherish!
