See the Gallery →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.
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!
Throughout the evening, we received countless compliments about how beautiful the venue was, the stunning setting and incredible views. We would highly recommend this venue to any couple looking for a beautiful location, excellent food, and exceptional service.
