Beautiful Cottages for Large Group Gathering
While we had high hopes of being the first couple to get married at the Keeper’s Galley, it unfortunately was not finished in time, but we were still able to rent the house portion at Haven on The Banks! The dream for our beach wedding was to have our bridal party/friends all staying in one location to make a mini vacation out of the special occasion, and Haven on the Banks was honestly everything we had hoped for! The cottages are absolutely gorgeous and stocked with everything you need, and the owners are so sweet. The tiki bar/pool area provided the exact spot that we had envisioned for all our friends and family to hang out together on the nights leading up to our wedding. Most of us traveled down on Wednesday and enjoyed relaxing together at such a beautiful location until our wedding on Saturday. We grilled steaks, drank cool beverages, watched the Nationals win the World Series, drank coffee on the front decks looking out each morning at all my friends at their separate cottages, hung out in the hot tubs, and most importantly spent so much time together because we were all in one location. I would highly recommend these adorable cottages to any group looking for a getaway with a large group.

It all started with a bike ride!
We are your hosts, Tara and Gerry. We married in 2016, with both of us bringing together children from previous marriages. As a newly married couple, we wanted to tackle something new together - something we could create - something that would hopefully make a difference in our community. So, we went for a bike ride!
One beautiful Sunday afternoon, as we rode our bikes down the beach road, we observed several tents scattered along the route. We soon learned there were six wedding in progress! The idea for Haven on the Banks and Keeper's Galley was born!
