Highly Recommended!

Mitch and his team at Terrace Bay Hotel really outdid themselves with everything! The views were stunning, staff were very friendly, and they even saved us a plate from our buffet to come back to after the reception! We were very happy how it all turned out!

Winter Wedding Reception in February

We booked the Terrace Bay Hotel for my daughters wedding in February. I'm not sure where to begin with how professional, organized & amazing they were. The banquet hall is beautiful and needs minimal decorating to personalize it for your event. The waitstaff was on top of it all night long with clean up, drinks and making sure the reception ran smoothly. Everyone raved about how awesome the food was! The event planner Mitch Taylor was extremely helpful in the planning process and quick to respond to any questions. And it was so convenient for our guests to be able to stay right at the hotel. The Freshwater Tavern has become one our favorite places to eat locally. Everything on the menu is delicious, flavorful, well planned out meals with a great presentation. And so many dishes are GLUTEN FREE! Which is very hard to find in our city. Their craft cocktails are also absolutely amazing, I love the candied fruits that come with them. So high class, and worth the price.
