My husband and I fell in love with Saltwater Farm Vineyard as our wedding venue the first time we went there together before we were even engaged. Oddly enough I had already been to the venue when I was in my cousin’s wedding here 6 years ago, but when Alex and I went to Saltwater Farm Vineyard for an oyster shucking class we had an awesome experience that cemented it as a part of our own journey. We chatted with Jess and Greg, and the owners Michael and Merrily for hours after the event. The day after we got engaged we went to Saltwater Farm Vineyard to celebrate and booked it as our venue the next day. The space is absolutely gorgeous. I love how intimate the venue feels while also having enough room for all of our guests. The flow of the events at Saltwater is seamless based on the layout. We had the ceremony in the vineyard, the cocktail hour outside/under the tent, and the reception inside. We were able to fit all 124 of our guests on the first floor, but we opened the second floor bar to open up the space even more. My three favorite things about the venue are the space itself, the natural ambiance, and the people. The space makes everything feel together, if you’re upstairs you can still see and hear the dance floor below, if you’re outside under the tent for fresh air or cigars you can still see and hear the dance floor as well. It’s all so connected keeping all of the guests having a similar experience. Additionally, the ambiance is amazing. I described my wedding style as simple but elegant. The lighting in the venue is so unique and is captured beautifully in photos whether the overhead lights are on or off. I also loved getting ready in the bridal suite on site so that I did not have to be transported after I got ready. The space has such incredible natural light which is great for getting ready photos. We also used the bridal suite for the wedding party to wait in while our guests were seated. It was so fun to watch our guests arrive and fill up all of the seats in the vineyard. It was a special moment watching all of our planning come to life. Merrily is very quick to respond and answer any of your questions. Jess and Greg are not only the nicest people and most helpful people, but they also made visiting the venue feel like we were coming home. Very honestly, the first moment I cried at my wedding was when I waved to Jess and Greg before going into the vineyard for my first look. It felt like everything had come full circle since the oyster shucking class all those months ago. I absolutely loved this venue and cannot speak highly enough about it. I cannot wait to go back and visit again. If you choose Saltwater Farm Vineyard for your wedding venue, you will not be disappointed!

Saltwater Farm Vineyard was everything (and more) that we could have imagined for our wedding day. The venue alone is beautiful, however it was Saltwater's staff that solidified our decision to have our wedding at Saltwater. The staff treated us as if we were family from the moment we first walked through the doors. The combination of a gorgeous venue and exceptional staff made our wedding day extra special. We cannot wait to visit Saltwater and their staff for years to come!

Disappointed, we’ve been here quite a few times in the past, this will be like our 7th or 8th visit. We were disappointed we couldn’t do a wine tasting, although we were allowed to do a sample tasting before buying a bottle. My husband and I can have different tastes and will each do a separate tasting and will share our tastings then decide on a bottle or two if our tastes are very different. What was very disappointing was we couldn’t hear the music playing very well during the musician’s session due to lack of speakers and what we eventually realized was someone was playing a personal speaker. I had gone into the building to tell someone but no one came out. We found the who the speaker belonged to and asked them to politely to shut it off, they did for awhile then we could hear it again.

Great location with live music on Sunday. I wish it was open later as we would have stayed later if it was open. We tried to get food and we couldn’t get anything. The wine was good and the scenery was beautiful.

We had the wedding of our absolute dreams here. We were looking for a venue that gave us some creative freedom with a beautiful backdrop. Saltwater was accommodating to every single one of our wishes. As a couple; the catering staff at Coastal Gourmet and Jess and Merily made our day flawless. If I could rate the day a 100 out of ten I would!

What a find. Tasted the Pinot Gris and Arch? Chardonnay and they were impressive.
We did wineries from Napa to Sonoma to Santa Barbara, Paso, Oregon, Washington, Germany, Spain and Portugal and these are great wines. The young man at the tasting bar was pleasant and knowledgeable, the outdoor space super nice. A must do.

Beautiful Vineyard. Very quiet and relaxing. Employees are very friendly and very welcoming. This place is definitely a must visit.

Just an amazing vineyard with a tasting room that included live music on Sundays. When tasting, they have snacks but there are also food trucks. You’re also allowed to bring you’re own snacks to have with your tasting while enjoying the live music. The whole experience was great. It’s fun for the entire family.

Had a great time. Greg took his time with us and shared his extensive knowledge of the wine and beer options the Vinyard has. Will absolutely come back!

We had the best experience here. Our “bartender” maybe Gregory, my husband couldn’t remember, could not have been more personable. The Sav Blanc and Pinot Gris were amazing for the area and with a correct price. Beautiful grounds. We ended up 2 days in a row!

In love with this place! We have photographed here several times and loved each and every one of them. The landscape is magic and does not lack on variety or space. Some of the most memorable sunsets over the vineyard. Look forward to our next date!Wedding Photographers,Noah and Jules
