Outstanding Venue with a great view!

The venue was Awesome, the staff at the Attic was fantastic, the food was great, the parking attendances did a wonderful job with taking care of everyone when we arrived. The wedding was done on the beach behind the Waterman's/Attic and the reception was right after. The ataff and crew were ready and it was amazing!!!!!

Absolutely Amazing!

We knew we wanted to have our reception at the Attic when we first started planning. We loved the idea of being able to go to Watermen's and have the same meal we had at our wedding on our anniversary. Krysta was our event manager and she was just amazing! She answered all our questions very quickly and was fantastic adding last minute guests a week before the wedding. We ended up going with a cocktail hour and a platted dinner. It was almost overwhelming to choose items for the cocktail hour since none of them are on the menu for the restaurant downstairs and everything sounded so delicious. Dinner was a bit easier since nearly everything was on the menu downstairs and we'd tried it before. We were able to have our guests choose between three entrees, and they even made a special meal for my vegan guest. I don't think anyone finished their steak it was so large. The serving staff was just amazing! When we arrived we had a sampling of everything from cocktail hour at our table. We were so busy and elated that we hardly ate at the reception and the staff was amazing and boxed everything up for us so we could enjoy it when we got back to our hotel. The food was outstanding, which of course I would expect nothing less from Waterman's.

We were able to control the open bar and offered house wine, beer, and all the crushes. The bartender was amazing and there was never a long line for drinks. The venue itself is just beautiful, it really doesn't need a lot in the way of decorations. The mirrored wall on the dance floor made for some absolutely beautiful pictures. We added the bistro lighting and when the sun went down it looked just magical in the room. We had 55 guests and I felt the room was just perfect for that number.

Simply Amazing!

The Attic at Waterman’s was the absolute perfect venue for our wedding and I could not have asked for a better venue and staff. From the time I submitted my inquiry and spoke with Courtney about booking up until the very last minute of our wedding day (and even after) everything was completely fantastic. Working with Courtney was an absolute breeze. She is extremely quick to respond and so helpful with any questions. She had so many great ideas and recommendations to make the day as memorable as possible. All of the staff working the evening of the wedding were amazing. They made everything seamless and did everything with a smile. The food and drinks were also wonderful, as always, and we received so many compliments on how great it was. Overall, I can’t say enough wonderful things about the Attic and owe them all endless thank yous!!

Beautiful Space and Great Staff

We ultimately decided to choose The Attic at Waterman's because of the beautiful space and the fact that we didn't have to hire a separate caterer. We fell in lover with the Attic at Waterman's because of the great Events Managers and their willingness to help us through the journey of planning a wedding during Covid. Our guests could not say enough great things about the space, staff, food, and drinks. Many said it was one of the best weddings they have been to and I believe that is due to The Attic at Waterman's food and drinks.

Wonderful people to work with!

My husband and I had started the wedding planning process with Catalina at the Attic back in August of 2020 during the middle of the pandemic. Catalina and her team were incredibly helpful and accommodating with our Covid related requests and concerns. Catalina had some wonderful suggestions to help us plan our perfect day. Our day-of coordinator, Jamie, was just as wonderful as Catalina. She helped the evening stay on track and flow smoothly. Our guests wont stop talking about how fantastic the food was as well! Definitely add the bacon wrapped scallops to your menu for your event! The lighting in this room is fantastic and all of staff who bartended, served food and parked cars were the nicest people to work with. I would highly recommend the Attic for a wedding, or any other event.

Perfect beach view wedding/reception

I booked the attic for a reception after my wedding on the beach, but when something went wrong with the beach ceremony they let us move our reservation an hour early to perform a ceremony at the reception venue. We came to see the space hours before the wedding. They had a separate stairway for the bride and party to come up without guests seeing. They were VERY accommodating with every request I had. They had an answer for every question I had. The decorations they supplied were a great touch. They gave me a timeline of events (dinner, speeches, cake cutting, dances. Ect..) which made everything less stressful. Alex was the event manager there the whole night to make sure everything was done at the right time. She made sure everyone was happy and everything went smooth. The food was great, the beach view was great and the service from the servers were great. You will NOT regret booking with them. Courtney was the event manager I kept in touch with the most. She responded in a very timely manner and was very friendly and understanding. I wish I could relive my time at the Attic every day. I have nothing negative to say ☺️

Perfect in every way!!

We could not have picked a better venue for our wedding on 7/23/20. Catalina was amazing in every way possible! She was so kind and helpful! She helped us put everything together in less than 2 months and even allowed us to move the ceremony to the venue last minute because of pop up thunderstorms.

The venue space is beautiful and has everything you need. The food was so delicious! I’m still having guests tell me how good it was!

This is a perfect space for a smaller wedding! I literally have nothing bad to say. All of the staff was extremely helpful and helped in making our day perfect! So thankful for everything they provided! Especially the orange crushes 😉
