Beautiful location for wedding or related event

I hosted a bridal shower at the McFadden Hall at Onset Bay Center and easily rate the location at 5 stars. The view itself is phenomenal and the function space is wonderful - bright, airy, and open with a nautical theme decor. The staff is excellent to work with and made sure we had everything needed before and during the event. The price was very reasonable and it was so helpful to have a kitchen and refrigeration on site. Many guests complimented the location. I would hold another event here in a heartbeat. This would be a beautiful location for a wedding reception.
