Jennette's Pier

s hard enough, but Jennette's Pier did NOTHING to help. I was the one constantly reaching out about questions with very delayed responses. My caterer finally said "You might want to make sure Jennette's Pier is even holding events" with less then 3 months until the wedding. At this point the event coordinator, Ashley, was on a leave with NO notice or out of office on her email - I was essentially emailing no one.. The only person that told us anything was the nice security guard. A month after I was told there is really no ceremonies happening, I wanted to request a refund. AGAIN no response from Ashley because now she was gone and someone else was starting in a month (sometime in March). My wedding was supposed to be in April - how is ANY bride supposed to attempt to plan a wedding COVID or not with no sort from support from Jennette's pier. I hope any bride considering Jennette's Pier really makes sure the person in charge of the event space knows what they are doing and actually is willing to help. I ended up changing my venue and date because I could not trust Jennette's Pier. I wish this ended with a different outcome, but unfortunately, it did not.

. It's also very reasonably priced for all the accommodations. The downstairs has little fish exhibits that entertain the children. The pier gives you such a romantic sweeping view of the ocean that is an unreal backdrop for your ceremony. And the ballroom upstairs has plenty of space for your reception - with the unique benefit of a wrap around porch for guests to still enjoy the outdoor ocean air. Our guests said that they had the most amazing time - as far as location, you can't get much better than this! On top of all this, Michele Bunce is an absolute gem of a person and so incredibly helpful. We pestered her with questions over a year before our wedding and she was always there to help us out and make recommendations. She made the day go so smoothly and we are so grateful for her.

to any emails which made wedding planning much easier. The pier ceremony location is absolutely beautiful (the beach would be too) and the reception room upstairs has great views over looking the ocean. We couldn’t have asked for a better wedding day. The staff did everything they could do make it an amazing day for us. Thank you Jennette’s Pier!

ve the pier made is easy for guests to transition to cocktail hour, and the space is perfect for any theme! We could not be more thankful for the awesome staff that helped our day run so smoothly! I HIGHLY recommend Jennette's Pier for your wedding venue!

nest! Our guests were as in love with the location as we were. It was everything we could have wanted.

and responsive to any questions I had throughout the wedding planning process. The ocean view hall is such a pretty space and you can't beat the views! Our guests loved it! I would highly recommend this venue to anyone looking to get married at the OBX.

wn vendors and truly make your wedding dreams come true. Our guests loved the ballroom and the fact that they could go out on the porch and enjoy the gorgeous views of the ocean! This venue was everything we could have dreamed of and more!

ul day. The wrap around balcony is a perfect place to cool off after dancing the night away inside the banquet hall upstairs. Michele and Kaila at the Pier were so helpful throughout the whole process and we are so happy we choose Jennette’s Pier in Nags Head to start our new life together as a married couple

k over the ocean. Nothing like taking a break from the wedding craziness to go out and feel the ocean breeze and hear the waves crashing. Michele was great, so quick to answer all of my questions! A lot of the vendors are very familiar with the venue so they were helpful in the planning process

ork with, especially Kayla and Michele. They are great about asking questions and even mentioning a few logistics points that you as a bride have not even thought of. Honestly, the pier is beautiful all on its own but adding in the great service makes it great. I wish we had a little more flexibility with being able to rehearse at the pier the day prior and an extra hour of dancing but overall the experience was very positive. Thank you for helping to make our day great!

lace, clean, and can accommodate all of your guests. I can't say enough about my wedding here in April. It was everything I could have imagined and more! Jennette's Pier is accommodating, professional, and my memories made getting married here will last a lifetime. Highly recommend!

s answering my endless questions! Jennette's is absolutely a perfect venue!

both love the beach. Jennette’s Pier is a great setting for a wedding and reception. Michele Bunce was so helpful in our deciding on the vendors. Having a full kitchen for the catering restaurant to work out of was great. Having an elevator was very helpful. Having room for a full dance floor, 2 cake tables, buffet tagbles, bar, gift table, as well as tables to seat 110 people was perfect!

thought Conrad and I were crazy for wanting to get married in October in the outer banks. But then they saw Jennette's Pier. We all fell in love with the beautiful reception hall and the view that went along with it. We knew this was the perfect place for us to get married. The weather and the day was absolutely perfect that day,

ry accomadating and willing to go above and beyond to make every moment of the process memorable!

I'm still in awe over how beautiful my super simple wedding turned out! We had our ceremony right on the beach beside the pier and reception in the reception hall on the pier. The room is a blank canvas and has tables and chairs that you can arrange the way you see fit-but I recommend The Michele Way! She was super friendly and accommodating.

RFECT place for this special event! The location was absolutely BEAUTIFUL and the JP staff was extremely helpful throughout the entire planning process. We received so many compliments after the wedding regarding the beautiful scenery, especially from the balcony of Jennette's. Kyle and I will definitely be returning to the pier during each OBX vacation, as it now holds a special place in our hearts. I would highly recommend booking Jennette's for your next event! :)

rooms, are on top of things, and will help you to no end. Michelle and Kaila were who I worked directly with, and those girls were awesome. It is worth every penny and then some. Our guests had an amazing time. The views are amazing. You can't ask for more.

planning process. Pictures here are breath taking!

elpful in our planning process. We had 160 guests which was fairly tight for the upstairs space, but we fit everyone in comfortably and had a cozy dance floor area. Very satisfied! I want to go back!!

aff were incredibly helpful in answering all of our questions and helping us plan our big day. They were quick to return calls and emails which helps ease every bride's mind. Even though there was an event the night before ours, the staff had done an incredible job of ensuring the space was ready for us to begin set-up by 9am. We saw the same great turnaround when we concluded our event; the event staff was out helping cleanup and getting things reset for the next evening's wedding. If you are looking for a beautiful location with exceptional support from the venue's team then Jennette's is your place to go!

nt one of the most memorable for the bride and groom as well as for family and friends. Julie and Justin chose Jennette’s Pier a year and a half before their special day. We worked with Michelle Bunce, coordinator. She provided excellent service. Jennette’s Pier was a perfect place for Julie and Justin to have their wedding. Michelle was always available to answer the many questions we had. On the weekend of Julie and Justin’s wedding, Hurricane Matthew decided to change direction from the weather forecaster’s predictions and move up the coast to include the Outer Banks. We dealt with the anxiety of making a decision of canceling the most important day of my daughter’s life or to celebrate. Michelle remained in close contact with us as weather predictions changed. All of the vendors we chose for this momentous occasion went above and beyond to provide us with all the services for a most beautiful and memorable wedding. We moved the wedding ceremony into the reception room. The original plans were to have the ceremony on the beach. We were able to have a beautiful ceremony and reception to celebrate the marriage of Julie and Justin. Every mother wants to see her daughter enjoy and love this special day. I will always remember and cherish the joy I witnessed that evening. All vendors that Julie and Justin chose worked with us and provided the absolute best for us. Julie’s wedding coordinator, Bethany Bouker of OBX Affair was with us beginning at 9:00 a.m. to help with decorating and throughout the entire day and evening to coordinate the ceremony and reception. She worked with all the vendors to ensure all went smoothly even though there was a hurricane affecting the timing of events. I highly recommend her services. John Turner at Harris Teeter was our florist. All of the flowers exceeded our expectations. Truly beautiful. Andy Lawrenson DJ Services provided excellent music throughout the entire evening. The photographers, Ryan and Rach were phenomenal. They even had Julie and Justin meet them a couple of days later to take more pictures without all the wind and rain from the hurricane. Metro Rental worked with us throughout all the planning and changes. Just Desserts made the most beautiful and delicious wedding cake I’ve ever seen. Stripers Bar and Grille provided delicious foods for our special occasion. The displays for the appetizers were wonderful and all of the food was great. A-1 Taxi worked with us in providing transportation for the wedding party to and from the event. Even with the weather. All of the vendors worked so well together. For all of the vendors to work so closely for this special day during Hurricane Matthew speaks volumes of their work and dedication to their clients. I cannot express enough how much we appreciate each and every one that made this day more than special for Julie and Justin. Jennette’s Pier was the very best place we could have had this memorable occasion. Thank you to all that provided us with exceptional service. Everyone worked over and beyond any expectations when dealing with the hurricane. We were able to host a wonderful and memorable wedding for Julie and Justin with the professional and caring attributes of all of our vendors.

would recommend it to anyone.

d was smooth! We had our ceremony on the beach beside the Pier and then the reception inside. But you have the option to get married on the Pier as well. Great staff to work with here

absolutely beautiful and for the price it is def worth it!!!!

ey really wanted to make our day special and would go to any length to assure that happened! we will always remember our special day and all the people at the pier that made it happen.

hall was perfect for guests to step out and enjoy the view. The staff was very friendly, helpful, and flexible. The hall was spacious with nice kitchen and large refrigerators. We recommend renting a dance floor.

hele is absolutely wonderful to work with as she is so responsive and answers any questions or concerns you may have leading up to the big day. She also suggested a list of other vendors for me as I was from out of town and didn't know who to chose as a caterer, florist, etc, and each and every one of them were wonderful! I had originally wanted to have my ceremony on the pier, but unfortunately it rained on my wedding day, so we had to move the nuptials to inside where the reception was going to be held, and I honestly feel that it was for the best as it created such a warm, romantic atmosphere that I know we couldn't have gotten anywhere else. I loved absolutely everything about this place! :)

. We love this site and it's already a place that is near and dear to my heart, but the staff really did an incredible job. Could not have asked for a better day!

s attentive and kind. She was really flexible in fitting me in to see the venue and to test the audio. I can't tell you how many people have contacted me since the wedding telling me how beautiful the venue was. I was so glad when my sunny beach day, turned into a monsoon that we had the ceremony in the banquet hall as well. It was really spacious and for our 100 guests there was plenty of room. Its beautiful in there by itself, but it also is a good neutral canvas to decorate how you want. I fell in love with it the moment I saw it, and though it is a little on the pricey side, it was totally worth it for me. My wedding turned out just as I had hoped, with the exception of the rain :)

the amazing oceanfront room!

the guest raved about the location and the scenery. The staff there is very helpful in making sure everything is available. They supply the tables and chairs for the reception and have a full kitchen for the caterer. You really do not have to do to much in that place to decorate since the windows look out onto the ocean and pier. It was just perfect in there and very reasonable for the price. I highly recommend Jennettes pier for a wedding venue!!

more budget friendly options in terms of catering, drinks, and decorating. Jennette's Pier is so gorgeous, with it's cathedral ceilings, plentiful windows overlooking the ocean, and beautiful fixtures, that a lot of decorations weren't needed. We received so many compliments from our guests that our wedding venue was the best they had ever been to. Many enjoyed walking out onto the balcony, overlooking the pier and ocean, to get some fresh air and take in the gorgeous scenery of the OBX, especially on a lovely night with a full moon!!! Additionally, the staff, especially Michele, was extremely friendly, flexible, responsive to all emails and accommodating to all needs. You won't be disappointed having your reception here!!!! There isn't a single negative aspect about Jennette's Pier that I could find!

fter it was decorated for our wedding, it was stunning and perfect. Our guests are still raving about how beautiful it was and how much they enjoyed the atmosphere. I would highly recommend planning your event at Jennette's pier!

beautiful back drop to all of our pictures. Every angle was beautiful. The reception room and restrooms were very well maintained. We were able to get there early to decorate and set things up. We had previously met with the director and got to look at the inside of the pier which was helpful to plan where things should be placed. The day of the wedding there was staff available in the morning if we needed anything. They were such a good help. I absolutely loved my wedding and one of the biggest reasons was that gorgeous venue. I love Jennette's Pier and I plan on visiting every year to take anniversary pictures!!!

nnette's. The room was beautiful and everyone loved the outdoor area in which people could sit on rocking chairs or at high tops if they needed some air or just were not interested in dancing. We worked with Michele at Jennette's and she was incredibly helpful, she helped me pick my vendors from their top favorite vendors to work with which was great because I don't live down there and wouldn't know where to start with vendors. Michele was there the entire reception and made sure that everything was exactly what I wanted. I would recommend Jennette's Pier to anyone looking to get married in OBX!

ly recommend! I think its the best place to get married at the beach!

hen our caterer fell through she gave us a list of preferred vendors and out caterer also turned out to be AMAZING. Every little questions we had, she had an answer to. She even went out of her way to get the proper equipment so my dad could plug his ukulele in to play our song. The reception hall is very lovely. It has high ceilings, adjustable lighting, and an amazing view! There are built in cabinets, which were great for our buffet, and a great fireplace. And of course the pier itself is also incredible! We were originally just going to do a backyard beach wedding, but I'm so glad we didn't! You definitely get what you pay for and more! -the Estrela's

t like a good fit. On a whim, we swung by Jennette's Pier as we were leaving town. We met with Michele who showed us the space and immediately we fell in love. The interior was comfortable and spacious. The kitchen / bathroom facilities provided more than enough room and there was even a bar we could utilize. The clincher was the wrap around porch with the white rocking chairs. Standing outside, overlooking the ocean and the pier felt absolutely magical; the view was breathtaking. We just knew our guests would be as awed as we were. The entire process, from reserving the venue, to paying for it, to chatting with Michele regarding random decorating questions -- was seamless. We visited multiple times, in the almost 2 years since we booked it, and each time Jennette's Pier greeted us with open arms. They were an absolute pleasure to work with, from day one. Fast forward to the day of our wedding: We held the ceremony outside on the sand, to the left of the pier. We had the chairs arranged in a semi circle, facing our bamboo alter. A surfing competition was wrapping up during our ceremony and strangely enough, the surfers skimming the water were a nice touch. The reception and cocktail hour were held in the space on the 2nd floor. We had approximately 70 guests and there was plenty of space for all the bodies, tables, chairs, dance area and bar. We dimmed the lights, lit hundreds of candles and had an amazing time. Bottom Line If Michele and the Jennette's Pier employees were here, I'd hug them. They were professional from start to finish, and I'm thrilled we listened to our intuition that day. Afterwards, our guests raved about the venue - and we were beyond satisfied.

ducive to a well-run wedding (nice bathrooms, huge kitchen, plenty of tables and chairs). We worked with Michele leading up to the wedding and Beth on our wedding day and both were absolutely lovely to work with. Everyone was incredibly friendly, accommodating and helpful. We got so many compliments of the lovely space and the staff really made planning a breeze. We couldn't have been happier with our venue choice and would highly recommend it to anyone considering an outer banks wedding.
