Like many other 2020 brides, my fiance and I had to change our wedding plans and decided to postpone to a date in 2021. Deb and Sarah could not have been more understanding and easy to work with in changing our date. They truly seem to care about their couples and are always available to answer questions when needed.

Best Venue for your wedding in Virginia Beach!
If you are looking for the best place to host your event in Virginia Beach, you found it! I am a professional DJ and I work several wedding events here every year and already have some lined up for next year. Before this year is over, I wanted to take the time and share with all review readers how grateful I am for the opportunity to be able to collaborate with such a great venue and the talented team that makes magic happen every time I am there. They communicate well with vendors, everything is always clean and looks amazing, and the layout options are awesome. I like how you have the option of upstairs or downstairs depending on the vibe you are looking for. It is always awesome to be able to have wedding ceremonies at the waterside. They surely go above and beyond for their clients to have the best time ever. Go see for yourself, book your event here!

Amazing Day
Thank you so much Sarah and Deb at the Water Table for helping to make our wedding day amazing! We were married in October 2020, and the Water Table far exceeded our expectations. We fell in love with the room and the views immediately, and we received so many compliments from our family and friends. Sarah and Deb made the planning process easy and the entire day was perfect and stress free! We couldn’t have asked for a better place to say I Do! Thank you so much!

Great Venue
We booked the whole building of The Watertable including the porch and lawn about a year in advance and it was great the whole time. After we booked we were in contact with them a little bit because we were far away from our date, but when the date got closer, Deb and Sarah were contacting us to make sure everything was set. Every question that we had, they had an answer to. Any requests were taken seriously and they were very organized. We have gotten so many compliments on The Watertable and how lovely it was. We are so happy with how everything turned out!

Perfect Wedding at The Water Table!
I called The Water Table as soon as we got engaged. My husband and I attended a wedding there a few months before our engagement. We knew this was the place we wanted to have our ceremony and reception. You can't beat the views or location. We had our ceremony outside on the lawn overlooking the marina. Our guests commented on how beautiful the backdrop was during our ceremony - the water, boats and sunny skies! Our cocktail hour was on the porch and in the downstairs room. We love that our guests could enjoy the outside areas and really take in the views at the Inlet. Our reception was in the gorgeous room upstairs. The view from that upstairs area is beautiful! The big picture windows really gave our reception the feel of the water and marina we were looking for. The lights from the marina at night are just breathtaking. The room was perfect for us. We had about 175 people - so the big dance floor was definitely needed! The layout of the room was great and gave us plenty of room for dinner and dancing!
We talked with Deb and set everything up! We worked with Christine and Gina the day of our wedding. All 3 were great and understood our vision. I corresponded with Christine and she was so quick to get back with me and help with anything we needed. Christine and Gina were more than happy to help with anything on the wedding day - and went above and beyond to make sure everything was just as it should be.
So many people commented on how amazing our day was and how much they loved The Water Table, too. We would do it there all over again! We absolutely loved it!!

Beautiful Venue!
We had our wedding at the WaterTable on June 1, 2019 and we are so happy we did! I wanted a beachy wedding, but not for it to be on the beach. With the WaterTable being on a marina, it was absolutely beautiful and exactly what we wanted. We rented the entire building with the ceremony on the lawn, cocktail hour on the lawn and porch, dinner downstairs, and dancing and cake upstairs. The flow of the wedding went seamlessly through the venue and I would recommend this route to couples that do not want to be too crowded when they have a big guest list. Our contact at the venue actually changed a couple of times before the big day, but Deb was very accommodating and made sure that we got the attention we needed. Even though Christine came in at the end of the planning process, she was absolutely fantastic! She went above and beyond on the day-of to ensure that everything was how we wanted it to be. I highly recommend this venue to everyone!!

The Water Table was AMAZING!!!!
The Water Table was hands down everything I dreamed it could be as my venue on our wedding day!! Working with Karen was an amazing experience. She is professional, She knows exactly every detail even things you wouldn’t think of she’s got your back also in a very caring way she really knows what she is doing. That was HUGE for me because there is nothing worse then a wedding not starting on time or not keeping a nice flow of things and that is still being complimented from our guests about our time at The Water Table. Everything about The Water Table was PERFECT!!! The views, the professionalism and care from Karen and Debbie I just can’t say enough good about it. You should look no where else for your wedding venue!!

The Water Table is incredible and the venue owner Deb is even more incredible! Seriously. As a wedding coordinator, I have come across some owners that are insanely difficult to work and make everyone miserable. Thank God for Deb and the Water Table! They are super easy, pleasant, and helpful to work with. Deb was literally moving tables, decorating, and helping me with the wedding timeline! Great place.

LOVE....We had my daughter's wedding her on September 29, 2018, and the entire wedding was amazing. She was married on the lawn, followed by cocktail hour on the deck, and dinner and dancing on the top floor. The venue was beautiful and everything flowed so nicely from one part of the day to the next. So many of the guests took the time to tell us what a wonderful wedding it was and how beautiful the venue was. What was most amazing about all that is we did not spend much on decorations because the view was so decorative. Debbie, helped us through the entire process and was extremely helpful picking out colors and other details. She even took the time to meet us at the caterers (Chefs By Design - also fantastic), and help us with the final details. She was very sweet and was a joy to work with. If you are planing a wedding, you cannot go wrong with The Water Table and the magnificent views. My daughter and her husband capped the night off with boat ride pulling out from the marina at the end of the reception. Thank you Debbie at the Water Table for such an amazing evening. In my daughter's words, "it was like a fairy tale."
