Unique Coastal Wedding Venue

DBMS was the perfect venue for our colorful, coastal, 120 guest wedding! Despite the overcast weather, the ceremony under the tent was beautiful and Clifford Hall allowed plenty of room for dancing! The harbor provided such a unique backdrop for photos throughout the afternoon and evening. Anita was incredibly supportive throughout the entire process so we were fully able to enjoy our day! Without a doubt would recommend Anita and DBMS!

A perfect day!

We can’t say enough good things about DBMS and the team there! We got married in September and despite the rain we had it was a perfect day. The space was beautiful, everything was perfectly organized and Jen, our day of coordinator was an absolute dream to work with. We had a great experience working with Anita during the planning process as well. We knew DBMS was perfect the first time we visited and love going back to stand on the deck and reminisce about how great the day was. Thank you Anita and Jen!

Beautiful Venue and the best day!

Our wedding at the Duxbury Maritime school was amazing. They made it so we did not have to worry about anything on the day of our wedding. They set up everything so perfectly. Our day of coordinator Madeline was so organized and wonderful. We were vey worried about the weather on the day of our wedding. Because hurricane Lee was supposed to hit. They made everything work even better than we could have imagined! They really helped to ease our anxiety. We were supposed to get married outside but got married inside do to the weather and their indoor space in just as beautiful with panoramic views of Duxbury bay. Could not of asked for a better experience.
