Amazing experience

We are still in the beginning stages of planning our wedding including choosing a venue, we met with Josh to discuss possible options at Snapper Inn and the service was incredible. Josh was so personable and clearly very knowledgeable in wedding planning. We stayed for a few drinks and ordered some items off their menu which exceeded our expectations. There is a reason this hidden gem is still open after decades in business, their food, drinks and service are impeccable. This is my first review on a venue because I typically only see reviews from couples after their wedding but I do feel it is necessary to any future brides/grooms in search for a venue to not over look Snapper Inn.

Small intimate wedding

There aren’t enough words to thank the staff at The Snapper Inn. Josh, Kerri and the waitstaff were incredible on our special day. The accommodations and special touches they provided were very special to my husband and I. From the set up to ceremony to intimate dinner we had, all of our dreams came true. Thank you to everyone at The Snapper Inn for making our special day magical.

Amazing venue!

After looking at a number of venues with nothing checking off all boxes on our “must have” list, Matt suggested The Snapper Inn. Communication from the start was excellent! Matt and I were quickly able to make an appointment to come view the restaurant/grounds. Our first meeting with Josh went perfectly. He answered all of our questions prior to asking them, and had a plan a,b,c, and d should we have had inclement weather the day of our wedding. We knew at that meeting that was where we were going to get married. Customer service was beyond excellent throughout the year and a half planning process. All emails and phone calls were answered quickly and thoroughly either by Josh or Kerry. Any requests we had for that day were done perfectly! The grounds of The Snapper Inn are beautiful. We had our ceremony overlooking the water, cocktail hour at the outside bar/dock, and our reception in the beautiful pavilion. Everything was set up so elegantly! The day of our wedding all staff was excellent and attentive. Josh made sure no guests visiting the restaurant for dinner that evening walked outside during our ceremony/cocktail hour. Everyone raved about how delicious the food was! Matt and I recently went back for dinner and were remembered by the staff. I would highly recommend The Snapper Inn for a wedding and any other event needed! We are so thrilled with our choice to use them and can not wait to celebrate with future events there!
