We had our wedding at Amarantes and are so happy with the decision. Dominic, Jose, Mary and especially Darlene were all incredibly welcoming and helpful. The food was amazing and everyone enjoyed the views and the venue as a whole. They made it so easy for us to enjoy our day! Thank you Amarantes!

One year later, we still look back on our wedding at Amarantes as the best day of our lives. From the incredible cocktail hour food, which our guests still rave about, to the stunning waterfront views during the reception, every detail was perfect.

Visit Morris Cove

Come see it for yourself.

The gazebo, the boats drifting by, the light over the Sound at sunset. A tour is the best way to picture your day.
