Perfect Night

Renee made it so easy to visualize, plan, and finalize details for our wedding. My fiancé and I wanted to be sure to find a venue that would help handle the majority of details through one contact (food, beverage, venue, etc.) and MacRay was exactly that. We didn't have to worry about a thing going into our wedding weekend.

We also used them for our wedding shower which was a great preview to our day.

Amazing venue and staff

Being a same sex couple, the first hurdle we thought we would have to jump is finding a place that was accepting. But from the time we walked in the door to get a quote, to the very end of the wedding night everything went amazing. Fergie and her staff were very accepting, accommodating and did everything they could to make our wedding day special. Anytime i had any questions, Fergie was very prompt in responding. I couldn’t of imagined having my wedding anywhere else. Our wedding coordinator Stephanie did amazing at calming our nerves on the big day. We couldn’t of done it without her. The guests are still raving about the food, how nice the venue was and the great drinks. 10/10 would recommend them to anyone.

MacRay Harbor Banquet Center

Venue was superb except for two minor exceptions...we had our ceremony in the lower level banquet room and had no way to keep guests out until we were ready. Also, the temperature and humidity in the entire facility, including the upper level where we had our reception, were too high. We requested several times for cooler temps but were told the A/C has not been working correctly. Other than that, everything was wonderful- staff, food, view, and drinks were A+.
