As an LGBTQ couple, we felt genuinely welcomed and celebrated at H2O Waterfront Venues. Ms. Shawn was incredibly attentive from the moment we booked — she made us feel seen, supported, and completely taken care of. We originally planned for a beach ceremony, but when thunderstorms rolled in, thank God we had a rain backup plan. Reserving the Pierside Room turned out to be the best decision.

Shawn and her wedding team moved our entire celebration indoors seamlessly, and it worked out perfectly. The room looked gorgeous, the views were still beautiful, and the whole day flowed without a single hiccup. Their professionalism, kindness, and flexibility made our wedding unforgettable. If you’re an LGBTQ couple looking for a venue that truly accommodates and celebrates you, H2O is the one.”

Wow is our wedding day! These guys were so incredibly awesome. The caterer, coordinator,and photographer did a too notch job. Thanks again everyone.

Finally after two years of planning my wife and I got the entire family together for our 40th vow renewal. 120 of us got together for a fun filled weekend. H2O did our ceremony on the beach followed by a formal reception inside the Pierside room. We chose an Italian buffet (Baked Ziti, Chicken Picatta, Shrimp FraDiavolo, and Garlic bread) everything was delicious. The DJ, was great and very comical with his MC skills LOL. Our daughter and son in law coordinated with Christine who organized fun outdoor events and excursions to include family tug-o-war and volley ball on the beach. An early easter egg hunt & aquarium for the little ones. WE all had a great time! Tks again for making such a memorable event for our family!

H2O hosted my family's holiday renunion/party and my parents vow renewal last month. They truly did a lovely job, the dessert bar was AMAZING. The DJ was fun and had us all dancing. Dinner was fantastic! The Lawson Clan will definitely be using them again next year! Special thanks to Christine and Michael for the impeccable attention to detail!

We used this vendor for venue, food, coordination, photography, and decor. They did a fantastic job and we would highly recommend them. Thank you Shawn, Michael, Robin and Megan you all were superb!

Thank you, H20, for providing my husband and I with the ceremony that was perfect for us! We were looking for something small and intimate and we got just that!
The whole crew helped to make my husband and I feel special. Steve (officiant) ensured that our ceremony program was what we wanted and Shawn ensured that we got every picture we were wanting.
Ron was very responsive to every little character we asked about the set up of our chairs and the arch!
Highly recommend!

I'd like to take a moment to thank H2O and their amazing team for providing my husband and I, our friends and family with such a memorable wedding! Everything was EPIC! The food, DJ, Ceremony musician, coordinator... Thank you H2O!!!

My "husband" (love saying that!) and I had the most beautiful wedding day we will never forget. Because we live in the Midwest and neither of us had ever been to an ocean in person we decided it would be amazing to have a beach wedding. We decided on Virginia Beach because it is centrally located on the east coast and we have quite a few family members from Savannah to NYC and many friends in the military stationed in Norfolk and VA Beach AND the airport is nearby. Because we don't live in the area we needed help! H2O Weddings was the perfect fit for us. We booked the historic oceanfront cottage for our oceanfront ceremony and the Shore Room for the reception. For the ceremony we had a steel drum musician which really highlighted our beach vibe! He played while guests arrived, while we all walked down the aisle and started again during our first kiss, it was Ummozing! Because the cottage allows BYO beverages/beer and wine our guests were also greeted with their choice of ice tea or champagne which later everyone raved about the nice touch. 'Tip' Total wine was able to deliver the champagne which made our lives a lot easier than running around and dropping off on our wedding day. H2O staff provided the ice tea and served our guests as they arrived... After the ceremony we went into photo hour, photographer Christine was great and so organized! We should be getting our photos next week and will post a few here. The reception was GREAT with cocktail hour in a pre-function room and the reception room had great views of the ocean AND the Shore room allowed us to have a cigar bar on the adjoining outdoor patio, yayyy! It was not easy finding an oceanfront property that allowed us to have a cigar bar. We had buffet style dinner; initially I was concerned as I didn't want anyone waiting in line. Not a single person waited in line as the amazing service staff personally went to each table one at a time inviting them to join the buffet. Once one table was done they went to the next, this we organized in advance with VIP's first etc. etc. Our DJ was also hired through H2O and he was fantastic, pronounced all our names correctly did all speeches/bouquet & garter toss etc. flawlessly and most importantly had us all dancing ALL NIGHT LONG, he could really read a crowd! For the send off we all went out to the beach as the city had fireworks going off the pier, it was the perfect final touch to a perfect day! Many many thanks to H2O and their staff: Owner Shawn, Officiant Reverand Howy Sanders, Photographer Christine, Coordinator Robin, Steel drum Ricki, & DJ Frank. Scott and I along with our family and friends will always cherish the memories!

I had my beach wedding ceremony in the Sandbridge area of Virginia Beach this past weekend. Ron and Christine were wonderful! I greatly appreciated their patience as we waited for the rain to pass Amen! Although we had just a ceremony with only 10 guests they treated us like gold! The officiant, and steel drum we also hired through H2O and they also were great!

My wife hired H20 weddings becauase of their nice assortment of sandbridge wedding packages to choose from. Our ceremony and reception turned out beautiful. All the vendoirs did a wonderful job espeically chef leo as he prepared the tastiest lemon chicken and pork tenderloin. We are hring them in 2023 for our daughter;s wedding. Thanks so much,
