Wonderful Venue

Jennette's Pier event room was an amazing venue to support our wedding. Our guests had complete access to the dedicated pier deck and aquariums. The photo opportunities were immense between the event space, deck, pier and the beach. The flexibility the room provided lended itself to an amazing experience. Highly recommend Jennette's Pier for any special occasion

Built-in Plan B

Jennette’s Pier was the perfect backdrop for our wedding — breathtaking, meaningful, and well managed. Jenny Ash and her team were communicative and supportive from our first visit through the final send‑off. When storm adjustments threatened outdoor timing, they helped us with backup plans to move everything inside seamlessly. On the day, everything ran smoothly: seating, access, lighting, transitions — and guests kept complimenting the venue itself. We loved every minute there.

Amazing Ceremony and Reception!!

Jenny was absolutely amazing during this process!! We fell in love with the idea of getting married on the pier because we love the ocean but didn't want to get married on the beach with the sand. This venue was PERFECT! We could see the ocean the entire time at our reception and the views were breath taking! Everyone kept commenting on how gorgeous it was. Would 1000% recommend!

We had our wedding at Jennette’s and could not have asked for a better venue. The level of communication we had with Jenny was top notch, she was extremely responsive and easy to work with. We had the wedding of our dreams thanks to Jennette's and their wonderful team. I highly recommend having your wedding here, you won’t be disappointed!

The Most Beautiful Venue

If you want a true beach wedding, look no further. You have the option to get married on the beach next to the pier, or on the pier itself. We chose the beach and it was the most beautiful experience. The reception hall was complimented by every guest because of the breathtaking views. They provide you with tables and chairs and Jenny is very responsive during the planning process. This is the prettiest beach venue and I am so happy with my choice. It was the most perfect day.

Couldn't ask for a better beach venue!

I cannot imagine a more beautiful and perfect venue for our wedding in the Outer Banks. The view is amazing and it's unlike any other wedding venue, especially in the United States. It's also very reasonably priced for all the accommodations. The downstairs has little fish exhibits that entertain the children. The pier gives you such a romantic sweeping view of the ocean that is an unreal backdrop for your ceremony. And the ballroom upstairs has plenty of space for your reception - with the unique benefit of a wrap around porch for guests to still enjoy the outdoor ocean air. Our guests said that they had the most amazing time - as far as location, you can't get much better than this! On top of all this, Michele Bunce is an absolute gem of a person and so incredibly helpful. We pestered her with questions over a year before our wedding and she was always there to help us out and make recommendations. She made the day go so smoothly and we are so grateful for her.

Professionalism was top notch

The staff were all very responsive and professional. Going in to this, I was concerned about random people showing up in pictures and being in the way, this ended up not being an issue at all. The public were all respectful as well. The pier worked perfectly with my other vendors and catered to their needs without ever worrying me over those details. Absolutely recommend this place as a location for wedding ceremonies.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.

A gorgeous location for your OBX wedding! You can get married on the pier, on the beach or inside if the weather is yucky so it makes for a stress free day!
