    Our experience with the Marina was amazing! Joshua was so kind, helpful and organized that it made everything go so smoothly. He took time to walk through with us several times and was able to accommodate all of our wants/needs. Not only that, but all his staff were amazing and took care of us the entire night. Every 10 minutes someone was checking on me and asking if I needed anything. We had our reception in the ballroom with a buffet and open bar package. Everyone raved about how amazing the food was, saying it was the best wedding food they have ever had and I agree! We were able to completely transform the ballroom into such a gorgeous place using barrels with string lights. The room was a magical and we loved using the bar area for our cocktail hour and then also having the outside deck. Everyone loved watching the amazing sunset from the deck. The marina is such great value as well, we compared several places and the value and quality you get from the marina cannot be beat!

    I would HIGHLY recommend the Marina for any wedding and cannot thank Josh and his staff enough for making our day so perfect!

    Christina and Josh are two amazing people to begin with! This place went above and beyond to ensure my reception was perfect! My husband and I did a beauty and the beast theme for our wedding, and she did not miss one detail in my vision for the day! It felt like the 4 hours went by so quickly because I was enjoying myself so much! We had a photo booth and the staff left a wonderful page for me to remember! Loved it! Thanks to the staff working that night helping to ensure the drinks were full and I was feeling the best! They have a bridal suite on site for the big day! Which was the one the biggest benefits to booking there, beside having Christina around! I say book sooner than later because I have a feeling this place will become a very popular place for people to host their ceremony and reception. The staff even ensured that nobody crashed my reception! Words can not describe how happy I was with this place! Thank you! Love you guys!

    Hi Erin! Thank you so much for your kind words. It was a pleasure meeting you both and The Marina staff wishes you nothing but happiness together!

    The process of planning our wedding reception was so smooth thanks to Christina and the staff at The Marina at Edison Ford. Our guests commented on the beautiful location and friendly staff. Christina took stress off me because I knew she would handle everything we discussed. I would HIGHLY recommend this venue for your next event.

    Thank you Lindsay, We enjoyed helping to create a perfect day for you and Adam!

    We had our rehearsal dinner at The Marina at Edison in the Harbor Room. The venue is beautiful and the view over the river is priceless. You have multiple rooms to choose from to fit your guest count and budget. As if it couldn't get any better you have Christina helping you every step of the way plan your event. She is amazing and I only wish I met her prior to booking our wedding venue. She went above and beyond to help me and guide me. We had a BBQ theme for the rehearsal dinner and all the food was delicious (especially the Mac & Cheese) and affordable. All of the staff was courteous and friendly. I would highly recommend having your next event, rehearsal or wedding there.

    I did my wedding at the Marina at Edison Ford this past weekend and it was more than I could have asked for in terms of service, location, and affordability. I used them as a reception venue and rented the entire ballroom, bar, and outside deck on the lower floor beneath Pinchers. I chose this location for a number of reasons. The first of which is that I fell in love with the Banquet Coordinator, Christina Krupa. I was a very overwhelmed bride, on a budget and she never scoffed at the amount I had to work with and was genuinely eager to gain my business. I knew after that, I wanted the reception there. After signing the contract, she even went as far as helping plan the entire wedding timeline, picking out decor, and coordinated with all my vendors. She's truly a full blown wedding planner in disguise and was my lifesaver for the entire process. She was responsive to emails and phone calls and always followed up with me on questions. I never had an empty glass of champagne at the reception and when I forgot signs for a few things, she printed some out at the last minute. Trust me, this woman is irreplaceable. If she ever leaves this location, hunt her down and ask to hire her as your wedding planner. The second reason I decided on this location is that it is a more affordable and reliable alternative to a tent on the Edison and Ford Estates property. It was Florida in Spring time, so rain is always a big question mark, as well as humidity and bugs. The Edison and Ford Winter Estates does not have an inside Plan B option and a tent can easily become expensive if you put down a floor, use fans, drapery, lighting, etc. and they only allow one vendor for rental equipment. Not to mention bugs if it's just rained and there's no wind. I wanted an outside wedding and reception and the Marina offers a nice combination of both indoor/outdoor spaces right on the water and is connected to the Estates for an easy transition from the ceremony site. The 3rd reason was because the

    My husband and I got married in September 2015 and had our reception at The Marina at Edison Ford. We could not have asked for better services. Christina who is the events manager was very professional and went above and beyond as far as on the day of. I didn't want a event planner and Christina acted like one that day. She made sure everything ran smooth. We had an open bar for 5 hours and the staff and bartenders did not skimp out on anything and we never had a wait at the bar. We also had a plated dinner with 3 choices (beef, chicken, & vegetarian) and the dinner services went great. Compliments to the chef and kitchen staff. The food was amazing. I wouldn't have changed anything in regards to this venue and would recommended it to anyone.

    Thank you Mandie, We are so glad your Wedding was everything you hoped it would be!

    Supposedly some of our deserts were stolen out of the kitchen fridge the night before our reception. Please make sure communication is clear with management if you are leaving anything there the day before. We do not have confirmation of this happening, but just to be on the safe side, be clear with management. Event manager was extremely accommodating and the facilities were very well kept. The location was delightful and we would do it all over again at the same place if we could.
