Best venue around!

Let me start by saying that Maria and Kim are simply outstanding at what they do! Their professionalism, knowledge and flexibility were top notch! They met all of our needs and made our day unforgettable. We would get married again just to work with them again. It just cannot be put into words how much we appreciate them and their team for guiding us through the whole process and making everything stress free and amazing! From the food to the breathtaking views, the night could not have been more perfect!

Made our Wedding Special

We highly recommend the Park Pavilion. Maria and her staff were fantastic! They went above and beyond to make our Wedding day so special. The food was so plentiful and oh so yummy. Some of our guests saw how much food was offered at the Cocktail Hour - they thought that it was the complete meal and we blown away by how much more food was still to come. Maria was there throughout the entire planning process answering all our questions and making sure that our day would be everything we wanted. Everything was done on time and to our specifications. Our wedding day was a delight as we did not have to worry about any details, Maria & her staff took care of it all. The location on the Boardwalk can't be beat. The view from the windows is the best. There is so much space - lots of room for dancing. Added bonus is the outside balcony.

Perfect Oceanfront Wedding Venue with Exceptional Service!

We cannot say enough wonderful things about The Park Pavilion! From the moment we visited, we felt an immediate connection to this venue. The casual yet elegant vibe paired with breathtaking ocean views made it the perfect choice for our special day.

Maria, the venue manager, was an absolute dream to work with. From day one, she was incredibly responsive, flexible, and straightforward, which made the planning process so much smoother. She and her team made us feel supported every step of the way.

Our wedding had about 115 guests, and the space was perfect—cozy without feeling cramped, with plenty of room for both seating and a lively dance floor. The staff went above and beyond with setup and teardown, and their professionalism didn’t go unnoticed.

We opted for the buffet-style catering, and it was phenomenal! Not only was there an abundance of delicious food, but we also ended up with so many leftovers. And the value is unbeatable—having a premium open bar included in the package was a fantastic bonus.

One of the standout moments was how Maria and her team handled our rain backup plan. We had planned for a ceremony on the boardwalk, but when rain forced us to relocate indoors, they seamlessly transformed the space. I was initially stressed, but when I saw how beautifully they incorporated my décor, I was immediately relieved. They even refunded us for the ceremony space, which was a thoughtful touch.

Throughout the night, Maria made sure we were fed and had drinks in hand, which made us feel so cared for. The venue is also ADA accessible, which was important for our guest list.

Planning a wedding can be overwhelming, but The Park Pavilion made it so much easier. Maria and her team were reliable, accommodating, and truly dedicated to making our day perfect. We would highly recommend this venue to anyone looking for a beautiful, affordable, and stress-free wedding experience!

Perfection!

I can’t say enough good things about Park Pavilion. We got married there because we wanted to be on the beach and Park Pavilion was so reasonable in their costs. They exceeded every expectation with flying colors. We are still getting so many compliments on our wedding. One guest told us that they had gone to a wedding the week before where it was $500 a plate and the food and level of service wasn’t nearly as good as ours! The wedding coordinator, Maria, was absolutely amazing. She made everything run so smoothly and made me feel so calm throughout the day. Truly the best, 10/10!

I was recently married at Park Pavilion and my day was more than I could have asked for. I planned my wedding in just 75 days and Ron at Park Pavilion made it easy! He was very accommodating and I don't think he said no to any of my requests, it was basically "sure, whatever you want" which sounded good to me. It was everything I wanted and more!

My guests keep commenting on how nice the venue was and how delicious the food was. They particularly raved about the raw seafood option we added as well as the tuna bites, shrimp, and other seafood included in our menu. My husband said the roast beef carving station was fantastic and I loved the sliders and pizza we had! It was the best Saw Mill pizza I ever tasted!

Honestly, the day went off without a hitch from our beachfront ceremony, reception, to our sparkler send off on the beach. Ron was amazing and fantastic to work with the day of and through the planning process. The only downside for me was the day of coordinator. She got everything done that needed to be done and I appreciated that but she was snippy with me and my mom on several occasions. Again, she was efficient and accommodating but I would expect someone in her position to be a little more used to appeasing brides with a smile instead of acting like I was a bother.

I would highly suggest this venue to other brides looking for something a little different than your traditional wedding venue. The ambiance of the boardwalk was just what we wanted. The room itself, with its ocean views is stunning, the service from the bartenders and wait staff was excellent, the food was delicious and the price was very competitive. I am very happy with my wedding at Park Pavilion!

Affordable Oceanfront Venue

Park Pavilion is a great choice if you want a less formal wedding and contract. There is a small deposit required, and after that payment isn’t due until 10 days prior. You will start working with the coordinator Maria about a month out. Ron the manager, along with Maria are very flexible and do a great job getting you whatever you need. We had the best day and would recommend Park Pavilion to anyone! We got married in December and had a “coastal Christmas” theme since the venue was already decorated. We utilized the space for the ceremony & reception. It worked out great.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
