Honestly, we cannot say enough wonderful things about Nobil on the Bay at the OC yacht club. We knew we wanted to have our wedding there the moment we walked in the front door. The location and venue is beautiful. That is evident as soon as you... pull up. Beauty can be found at other venues, but Nobil on the Bay catapulted the OC yacht club to an entirely different level. The experience was fantastic from start to finish. Bill, Chris, and Norm are incredibly helpful and informative. They know exactly what it takes to make your wedding not only incredible, but unique. They listened and offered helpful advice. Never once did we feel pushed in a direction. They reminded us of things we hadn't even thought of and suggested ways to make our day run smoothly. They are professionals, kind, and fun (all have great sense of humors which really helps if you find yourself stressed). For the wedding tasting, we brought both of our families there and made a night of it. Beforehand, you will sit down with Bill and go over preliminary details (scheduling, other vendors, food choice, etc). They had a table set up already with our tablecloth, overlay, and napkin requests so we could get an idea of what it would look like on the big day. This is what truly makes them standout. They make every effort to bring what you envision to life. The tasting night is so much fun, absolutely bring your families there (and wine). It's a really great time, almost a practice run. The chef even came out to chat. As we approached the big day, both Bill and Chris were extremely helpful in fine tuning the details. Both are attentive and responsive. We went the morning before the wedding to drop off decorations (bathroom baskets, memorial table pictures, table placecards, etc). I told them what I wanted and they executed in a way that was beyond. Thank God they did it and not me! Chris (and company) took my paltry ideas and made them into something to write home about. Now let's talk the big day. Sure, some would say we are partial because it was our wedding, but no, it was fan-freaking-tastic. The girls all dressed in the "captains quarters" which is a huge room upstairs complete with high top tables, bathroom, bar,and balcony. There is a woman(so sorry, but I can't remember her name)who is basically the maestro of the day. As soon as we arrived, she was there to ask if I need anything and had my favorite drink already in hand (my girl!). She will communicate with you the entire day and night ensuring that you know exactly what's going on and providing anything you need. She is professional, attentive, caring, and helpful. I never once wanted for anything because she was right there the entire time. We did a first look on the balcony. If you are interested in that, the balcony is a perfect place to do so. The photo ops are insane and once again, Nobil was right there making everything beautiful. We had our ceremony offsite and arrived at the Yacht Club about 25 minutes after the cocktail hour began.Guess who was outside to greet us and direct us properly so the guests did not inadvertently see us before the formal announcements? Bill!He ushered us upstairs where a bar was stocked and appetizers were waiting.Now let's move on to the food: come hungry.Risotto balls, steak skewers, clams casino will knock your socks off.I'm running out of space so I'll move on to entrees. MPerfectly timed and delicious! We HIGHLY recommend them! You will enjoy EVERY step leading to your day!!!
