Incredible venue

We LOVED SBMM! We rented the entire facility and we could not be happier with how the day turned out. The staff were great and accommodating. One of our highlights was being able to take photos on their yacht that was available!

Unique location

SBMM was a great and unique venue to have our reception at. The displays throughout the venue kept our guests intrigued and security was great on the day. The cocktail hour area is also beautiful and overlooking the ocean. The best part was we could use any vendors we want, which significantly reduced overall costs.
