Harrison's Harbor Watch is awesome!!

What a wonderful experience we had at my daughter and new son-in-laws wedding this weekend. Heidi our wedding planner is fantastic. She is so experienced, she thought of everything. Throughout the planning, she encouraged us to call/email/text any questions we had about planning the wedding. Then she replied with answers almost immediately. Because of her experience, she guided us to other professionals that were also top notch. She was present during the reception to ensure that the important traditions occurred throughout the event. The view of the Atlantic Ocean and inlet from the second floor is priceless. I received so many compliments on our venue selection. The food was magnificent! Our guests enjoyed the stations setup which gave our guests more of a chance to mingle and share conversation with each other. The bartenders are friendly and professional. I really can't imagine one thing they should have done differently. It was an amazing day for all of us

Our wedding was very small, just my husband and I and our children, so we were not looking for a reception venue. However, I contacted Harrison's Harbor Watch to see if we could make a reservation and get a view of the water. They were so great! We were able to drop our cake off that afternoon. We had an awesome view of the water as the sun was setting. They even gave us a cake table for our cake. Harrison's went so far beyond our expectations for customer service.

Harbor Watch was a fantastic venue for my wedding! The food was amazing and even though I didn't get to eat that much, everyone kept telling me how awesome the food was! The staff (especially Heidi and Jeb!) was great to work with and I didn't have to worry about anything. The only reason I give them a 3 for flexibility is because I did have some complaints from guests that they missed the father/daughter mother/son dances and the cake cutting because their seats were away from the dance floor and they didn't even realize they were going on. But I knew going into it that the layout would cause a few problems like that for guests, but everything else made up for it! My favorite part was the view. The big bay windows along all the walls overlooking the water was breathtaking, especially since everyone was able to watch the sunset! Another favorite was the fact that I chose a stationed event, so I didn't have to do a seating chart, which was one less thing I had to worry about and it let my guests choose who they wanted to sit next to, which I think the majority of them preferred. All in all, I had a blast at my wedding and it just wouldn't have been the same if we had done it anywhere else!

We had an absolutely beautiful wedding reception at Harrison's Harbor Watch! The staff was extremely nice and professional, and the food was delicious. The room they have is so spacious which is wonderful to avoid overcrowding. They also offered a station layout which was perfect. One of my favorite things was that after your pictures are done, they serve you and your husband your own private meal downstairs before you enter your reception. This gives you a chance to sit down and breathe, and catch up with one another! We both loved that opportunity. All of our guests said our location was perfect- the best of both worlds, right on the OC Boardwalk!

We had an amazing time at HHW! Heidi was really helpful and attentive for the most part. A couple mix ups on the bar menu, but other than that everything was awesome and all of our guests loved it!

I've had an opportunity to photograph several events at Harrison's Harbor Watch over the past few years. Every time I work there I have nothing but good things to say about the staff, the food and the way the venue looks. I would highly recommend having your wedding at Harrison's Harbor Watch. The view of the Ocean City Inlet makes for an amazing backdrop for any affair.
