Excellent venue!

If you want to have your event with a nice view of the water, this is the place!. We looked for a venue that had outdoor/indoor areas and The Reef was the perfect venue with a great price and amazing service. Maria made our planning go smoothly. Would totally recommend.

It was a pleasure having my Wedding at the "THE REEF"! The top deck was so beautiful with the view of the Water, Queen Marry & all the many White Doves that were let go there. This is by far the best location to have a wedding at & is why I had mine there!
