Independence Harbor

My husband and I got married at Independence Harbor last Saturday (7/29/23), and the entire day was truly a dream. We didn't meet Matt, the day of wedding venue coordinator, until the rehearsal, and when we did, we were instantly put at ease over any stress. (Including the possibility of rain) He was honestly the best, extremely professional, and helped make sure everything ran smoothly from start to finish. Jocelyn was another coordinator for the day of the wedding, and she was really so wonderful as well. She collaborated with us, our photographer, and our dj to constantly make sure everything was on schedule. I really can't speak enough of the professionalism and kindness of these two, as well as the rest of the staff. They were always 10 steps ahead and took care of everything so that we could be fully present and enjoy our day. The grounds, the food, the bar, the space - every element of this venue exceeded our expectations. Independence Harbor is a hidden gem. Don't sleep on this amazing venue! Our guests keep reaching out to tell us how they had the absolute best time. I think a lot of the photos on IH's website and social media don't fully do it justice. If you're a future bride or groom looking at this venue, please check out my photographer's social media pages, Brittany L. Austin Photography, to see how magical Independence Harbor truly is!

We had our wedding at IH two weeks ago and it was the perfect venue for us. Connie and Anne were extremely helpful the entire process always answering our questions and getting back to us in a very quick manner. The day of coordinator was also great, Matt made sure we had what we needed and helped the day go by smoothly. On top of that independence harbor has monthly brunches open to the public that are great for a brunch affair. Overall beautiful grounds, great food, excellent service, and well priced.

I cannot give enough props to the team at Independance Harbor. They set everything perfectly, and the day went off with minimal issues. They were constantly buzzing around and checking on things, checking on the bride and groom, making sure the parents were good and bridesmaids and groomsmen. The venue itself is beautiful, the grounds are soo well maintained and green, the sun was everywhere day of. Honestly just a wonderful experience all around.

Independence Harbor has got to have one of the grandest gardens I’ve ever seen. The grounds are meticulously groomed, and sweet Spring blooms of daffodils and tulips were out everywhere. Perfect for their intimate wedding ceremony, with 20 guests in attendance. We were lucky enough to photograph Kate & Dan's wedding there and it was a beautiful venue for a spring wedding. It was late April and the gardens were already bursting with colorful flowers and blooming trees.
