Stunning venue

Saltwater Farm Vineyard is absolutely stunning. We had rain for our wedding day, but it didn't matter. Everything still came out so beautifully indoors. The cocktail hour upstairs flowed perfectly into the reception downstairs. The bridal suite is so spacious and full of natural light. Merrily, Michael and the entire staff at Saltwater has been so helpful and accommodating ever since we first came on our tour. I cannot recommend Saltwater enough.

Best wedding venue!

My husband and I fell in love with Saltwater Farm Vineyard as our venue the first time we went there together before we were even engaged. Oddly enough I had already been to the venue when I was in my cousin’s wedding here 6 years ago, but when Alex and I went to Saltwater Farm Vineyard for an oyster shucking class we had an awesome experience that cemented it as a part of our own journey. We chatted with Jess and Greg, and the owners Michael and Merrily for hours after the event. The day after we got engaged we went to Saltwater Farm Vineyard to celebrate and booked it as our venue the next day. The space is absolutely gorgeous. I love how intimate the venue feels while also having enough room for all of our guests. The flow of the events at Saltwater is seamless based on the layout. We had the ceremony in the vineyard, the cocktail hour outside/under the tent, and the reception inside. We were able to fit all 124 of our guests on the first floor, but we opened the second floor bar to open up the space even more. My two favorite things about the venue are the space itself and the natural ambiance. The space makes everything feel together, if you’re upstairs you can still see and hear the dance floor below, if you’re outside under the tent for fresh air or cigars you can still see and hear the dance floor as well. It’s all so connected keeping all of the guests having a similar experience. Additionally, the ambiance is amazing. I described my wedding style as simple but elegant. The lighting in the venue is so unique and is captured beautifully in photos whether the overhead lights are on or off. I also loved getting ready in the bridal suite on site so that I did not have to be transported after I got ready. The space has such incredible natural light which is great for getting ready photos. We also used the bridal suite for the wedding party to wait in while our guests were seated. It was so fun to watch our guests arrive and fill up all of the seats in the vineyard. It was a special moment watching all of our planning come to life. Merrily is very quick to respond and answer any of your questions. Jess and Greg are not only the nicest people and most helpful people, but they also made visiting the venue feel like we were coming home. Very honestly, the first moment I cried at my wedding was when I waved to Jess and Greg before going into the vineyard for my first look. It felt like everything had come full circle since the oyster shucking class all those months ago. I absolutely loved this venue and cannot speak highly enough about it. I cannot wait to go back and visit again. If you choose Saltwater Farm Vineyard for your wedding venue, you will not be disappointed!

The BEST Wedding Venue!

Saltwater Farm Vineyard was everything (and more) that we could have imagined for our wedding day. The venue alone is beautiful, however it was Saltwater's staff that solidified our decision to have our wedding at Saltwater. The staff treated us as if we were family from the moment we first walked through the doors. The combination of a gorgeous venue and exceptional staff made our wedding day extra special. We cannot wait to visit Saltwater and their staff for years to come!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
