I had the pleasure of capturing a beautiful union at this stunning venue—and it was absolutely amazing. The on-site garden offered countless gorgeous spots to shoot, and the reception hall was just as breathtaking. Truly a must-book location! I’d love the opportunity to shoot here again.

I attended a wedding at the venue for the first time. It's absolutely AMAZING!. Their staff was pleasant, the house MC was great. The atmosphere, cocktail hour, main course the salmon was delicious. It definitely gets a 5 star.

As an event facility it is beautiful!! The staff were wonderful and everything was clean. The bar was cash only. We did not use valet parking so I couldn’t say anything about that. The bathrooms were clean as well. The only reason for 4 stars was because the food sucked and wasn’t sure if it was the who they catered or if it came with the event rental. For cocktail hour I did enjoy the mushrooms. I did like the tomato and mozzarella. I liked the dumplings and the chicken and pepper skewer. Wasn’t crazy for the rest of the appetizers. For dinner I had a little bit of everything I thought I would enjoy. The pig was not very flavorful and it was dry. The beef Wellington didn’t really have any flavor and was a bit tough. The chicken Marsala was also tough. The shrimp scampi was delicious but a bit too spicy for my liking. I LOVED the sausage and peppers but when I went back again for seconds the sauce was different and a bit watery. I did enjoy the eggplant rollatini. The food I only liked was the fried shrimp. The penne vodka was not saucy and didn’t have flavor. The pizza tasted like cafeteria pizza. Didn’t have much hope for dessert either. I only ate 2 things. The brownie was very chewy and fishy and the little cake was decent. The cookie was hard as a rock. The cupcake didn’t taste good at all. It was too sweet. The other thing was too tough but looked soft. The music was in stressing choice but all in all it was a fun event. I would go back if the food was different.

Dreams really do come true at the Tides!The best thing you can do is book your wedding there.

From the day we booked and leading up to our big day Michael was very forthcoming and helpful. He was very responsive, followed up on all my questions and made sure we felt supported.

The venue itself looks out of a fairytale. They are in a rural location so the greenery as you drive up is beautiful. The inside looks akin to a palace with many rooms and a beautiful lobby.  You don't even have to decorate too much because the place itself is so elegant and classy.

The garden is soooo breathtaking. They have 2 ceremony spaces outside, beautiful flowers and greenery. Plus it's so big! You get a lot of bang for your buck.

I didn't hire a day of coordinator and I basically planned everything myself with the bridal party, but the Maitre D and venue staff were very instrumental in making sure our event ran smoothly. I was super nervous thinking about the day of. I planned everything out but couldn't leave my seat because hello, I'm the bride lol. I was getting ready all morning.  But thanks to our Maitre D Alberto, the event flower perfectly. He kept us on time. Helped get the bridal party together. He literally went above and beyond. It's so incredible just thinking back to it. I know some venues are hands off. But the staff was just so dedicated to making our every request happen if possible. Thanks to Alberto, our wedding day went by beautifully without any hitch or drama. It's unbelievable because I heard there is always some kind of issue the day of.
We paid for a 6am opening so me and my bridesmaids could get ready at the venue. Michael set up a wonderful breakfast in the bridal suite it was like being home! We were so comfortable and we're ready on time for our 11am start. Truly wonderful. We had the small bridal suite so to our small party but it was super nice and a great set up for getting ready!

The food and the drinks were to die for. First of all, the cocktail hour was loaded with so much food! Not only do they include a variety of delicious hor'devours. You get to choose from from different entrees and stations. The guest are still raving about it a month later! Everything was excellent. From the presentation to the quality of the meals, it was the best wedding food I've ever had. When the reception came all the guests were too stuffed for their reception entrees! My cake came from David's Custom Cakes, their partner. I got the dulce de leche filling and let me tell you it was so rich! I'm definitely coming back the next time I need a cake!

Honestly I am a happy bride. I have no regrets, in fact it was even better than I imagined! Don't hesitate to book them, you will not regret it!

We can't say enough about The Tides Estate! As a wedding photo & video group, we had the pleasure of partnering with the staff at this location for our couple's wedding - and we are blown away by the interior! It’s the perfect venue for any elegant ceremony & reception. There are plenty of spots for portrait sessions between the gorgeous ballroom and staircases. The chandelier is a beautiful touch! Couldn’t recommend this venue enough for your wedding day!! @paperboysweddings

The Tides Estate is one of the best wedding venues and one of our favorites for many reasons.
The outdoor garden is beautiful with amazing landscape and many places for photos along with a nice area for a ceremony.
Tito was extremely helpful and provided assistance with the wedding plans and booking. Our Maitre'd Mike was phenomenal, another reason why I rated it very high, he is just the best and very cooperative and accommodating. The food was incredible and all my guest really loved it, especially the appetizers. We also got halal meat as we requested.
So many things to talk about in short it’s the best venue and I would highly recommend.

We just got married at The Tides Estate on 9/27/24 and it was everything I could have dreamed of! We did a full day of glam starting at 7:30am up in the bridal suites, it was beautiful and so much fun!! There was food and photography and everyone loved it. The matre D was great and the venue did a beautiful job setting up the main ballroom. The room was big and beautiful and the high ceilings look beautiful in photos. The grounds are absolutely beautiful!! We worked with Mike Stroganoff and he was such a pleasure. He was helpful, friendly & very easy to work with. We loved everything about The Tides Estate & the level of service we were given!

My husband and I got married here on 11/7/21, so this is a very belated review, but I just wanted everyone to know how awesome the Tides Estate is. Everyone was raving about good the food was, and how the ballroom was the grandest one they'd ever seen. The cocktail hour area was super spacious, which was one of things that my husband and I were looking for when we were researching venues. We hate when we go to a wedding and we have a plate of food in one hand, drink in the other, and nowhere to put them down and/or sit. But not at the Tides - plenty of seating, which is also much appreciated during Covid times, since it means guests will likely not be crowded in one area.

Tito was our banquet manager and he answered my billion questions leading up to the wedding. Any worry I had, no matter how trivial it seemed, was put at ease.

My girls and I got ready at the Tides. I had 9 BMs plus my Mom and MIL, and there was plenty of getting ready space. The main room is also very pretty, so it's great for 'getting ready' photo ops. There's also a room for the GMs to hang out in, although they are all connected so if you are the Bride, just have a member of the bridal party make sure that the Groom isn't around when you leave the room.

Our maitre'd, Steve was awesome. Whenever I thought that I needed something, before I could even tell a BM to go find him, it seemed as though Steve would appear out of thin air, like some kind of wizard or something. We did a tea ceremony beforehand, and he set it up for us before we even needed to ask him to. He even packed our leftovers at the end of the night, knowing we did not get to eat.

The Tides' motto is 'where we make your dreams come true', which I thought was a bit corny at first. But now that I've had my wedding there, I can see that they really do live up to that. Everything was perfect.

Tip - they have a sound system in house, so if you are planning on hiring a DJ, let them know about this and maybe your DJ can offer you a discount.
