our table decorations. Gina was a dream to work with -her communication was excellent, she was flexible, offered ideas on layout and design, and she was onsite the entire evening. I can't say enough good things about this venue and Gina, the venue's event coordinator!

ackdrop to our special day. Gina was wonderful to work with throughout the entire planning process. She communicated with us through both email and text, always responding in a reasonable amount of time and making sure our questions were answered. Her professionalism and willingness to help made planning much less stressful. On the wedding day, Gina was fantastic. She was attentive, organized, and helped ensure everything ran smoothly from start to finish. It was reassuring to have someone so experienced and calm helping coordinate behind the scenes so we could focus on enjoying our day. We are so grateful to Gina and the team at 801 for helping make our wedding day so special. We highly recommend this venue to any couple looking for a beautiful location and exceptional service!

Highly recommend. When we booked our venue originally there was a different person managing it, we are SO thankful Gina took over that position! Gina is very professional, helpful ...

and responsive. Gina helped us get the alcohol permit, day of insurance, and answered all of our questions. The venue is beautiful, right on the beach, and needs minimal decoration and was very affordable compared to other wedding venues in the area. It has a fantastic bridal suite in the back to get ready, a place for the groom to get ready, full kitchen and place for a bar, and comfortably seated 130 guest . Highly recommend!
