11/10!
Duxbury Bay Maritime School was the perfect venue for our wedding reception! From the very beginning, Jen was exceptional and so fast to respond to all of my questions and incredibly helpful throughout the planning process. The waterfront view at this venue is simply stunning, even if it happens to rain the entire day! We couldn't have asked for a more beautiful backdrop for our special day. We're so grateful to the Duxbury Bay Maritime School team for helping make our wedding day truly unforgettable.

Perfect wedding venue
Duxbury Bay Maritime School was the perfect venue for our wedding. From the very beginning, their communication was quick, helpful and clear. The space itself is beautiful with amazing views of the bay. Anita was amazing to work with, and our day-of coordinator Jen was unbelievably helpful - she was taking care of everything in the background while making sure we had everything we needed. The outdoor ceremony was gorgeous, the cocktail hour was set up beautifully, and the reception space with its hardwood floors and big windows was stunning. We couldn't have asked for a better venue or team to make the day so perfect.
