If you love old-world glamor, you will love the Naval Postgraduate School as the setting for your wedding. The grounds are amazing, the ballroom is grand, and the veranda is like something out of "The Great Gatsby." We held the ceremony on th...e Peacock Lawn and reception in the Barbara McNitt Ballroom and were very pleased with the whole experience.
The main contact was very thorough, helpful, and responsive and willing to work with our special requests. During the reception, the wait staff were attentive and there was never a service delay. We had a smaller wedding (94 people), so I'm not sure if the quality or speed of service would be affected at a bigger wedding. The food was amazing, but you are required to use the on-site catering, which may be a drawback for some people. Also, as it is on a military base, there are a few access lists one has to put together to ensure your guests get on base without any problems. These last 2 reasons are what dropped my overall rating to a 4, but they were pretty minor and certainly didn't detract from any aspect of our day, but are things people need to keep in mind if they choose this location.
