They made our wedding magical. Natalie was so helpful. Natalie & her staff are just fantastic. Our guest had an amazing time & commented on how great everything was! The moment I met Natalie, she welcomed us with open arms. Natalie gave us so many ideas. I highly recommend The Waterfront Restaurant. There was never an issue. Natalie's advise was always good.

How bad are Sunday night weddings?

I'm planning a Sunday night wedding, but am concerned about guests who may need to work the next day. How are Sunday night weddings usually run? Unfortunately a brunch/lunch wedding doesn't really work for our venue.

The Waterfront Restaurant

Sunday night weddings are quite popular. Most use to select a Sunday night wedding as it was cheaper...however today it costs the same as staff wages are increased on a Sunday.

I guess the only difference can be if your guests are local the reception may finish earlier as more guests will be working the next day. If most of your guests are from out of town it really wouldn't make a difference.
