A harbor wedding
that begins by boat.

A private waterfront setting

A complete celebration, held apart from shore.

The journey creates its own sense of occasion: an event-specific boarding point, a venue-provided water taxi, the harbor crossing, and the reveal of The Water Crest.

Once aboard, the approximately 10,000-square-foot platform can be arranged around the chapters of the day while retaining the intimacy of a private environment surrounded by water.

The guest journey

Anticipation starts at the water’s edge.

The venue selects and communicates the boarding point for each event. Water-taxi operators, vessels, trip cadence, and return service are then designed around the guest count and program.

Private-boat arrivals may be considered with advance approval and event-specific docking requirements.
