Picture Perfect!

We fell in love with this venue here on Wedding Wire when we first looked. After that we compared everything back to it. They are great to work with. The pavilion inside with the ceiling lights and built-in bar is beautiful. Getting married on the docks and having the marina being the backdrop of all our pictures was absolutely perfect. They have a list of recommended vendors, but ensured us that we could any vendors we wanted without any issues. This venue is so easy to make it exactly what you are looking for. Also October is a great time there, just book early!

Amazing venue!

I loved working with Tammy to find our perfect venue! They offer a lot of flexibility with other vendors and decoration. It’s also nice to know you have an indoor option with the weather being so variable.

Wedding Venue

The Pavilion at Pirates Cove is truly a one of a kind venue. We had our May 2023 OBX wedding here and it was perfect. Tammy Tobin and her team go above and beyond to ensure you are set up for the perfect day. The venue itself is great because you can customize it however suits your needs, and the ceremony site overlooks the canal and boats. We loved everything about our wedding and are so glad we chose Pirates Cove Marina.

You can't beat saying "I Do!" by gorgeous fishing boats, roaming the docks and having your friends and family enjoy the salt air! The event space is huge and allows for tons of people or can be decorated to feel much more intimate so it's a win win for any size event!

One of my favorite venues on the Outer Banks. This venue is a blank slate. You can make your dream wedding com true here. The staff is fantastic and very professional!! Most beautiful bar anywhere and the view of the yachts make your pictures stunning and unique! Don't pass up this fantastic venue!!

The Pavilion is a vast venue that can be transformed into three parts (ceremony, dining, dancing) by vendors in the area with the help of fabric and décor, or can make for one grand reception for the guest list that keeps on growing! Between the docked yachts and the lighted vaulted ceiling, the Marina has so much charm. We love partaking in events at the pavilion. Between allowing space for a catering tent when needed, ample parking, on site restrooms, and storage space, the site makes for an effortless vendor to venue transition. Highly recommend this venue!
