Pure magic!

We cannot rate the pier highly enough, 5/5 stars just doesnt seem to do it justice.

We decided to elope, just the two of us. There were just 5 weeks between deciding to get married and the big day itself. Amanda at the pier was quick to respond to every question and went above and beyond with her help and local knowlege. The pier provided the witnesses for us - thank you Carole and Amanda and created a timeless setting that was like something out of a novel. The money from weddings goes back into the restoration and up keep of the pier which is just perfect.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to make your big decisions easier.
