I had the pleasure of helping to plan Monteith Construction Company's Summer Kickoff Party for clients and employees at Marina Grill this year. The ambiance at Marina Grill was inviting, making everyone feel welcome and appreciated. The staff was incredibly attentive, ensuring that every guest was comfortable and well taken care of throughout the night. The event had a seamless flow of activities that kept everyone engaged and entertained. It was evident that a great deal of thought and effort went into the evening, from the décor to the delightful entertainment. Kudos on such a spectacular event and to Marina Grill for providing the venue. Thanks for a wonderful evening!
We hosted our sons wedding rehearsal dinner at Marina Grill and were so happy with all they did to help us beforehand and during the dinner. We live out of town, so had never seen the venue in person before showing up for dinner. Emily was prompt, so helpful with suggestions and answered any question I had and made the process leading up to the dinner very easy. The balcony space was perfect, we had plenty of room for out 30 guests, great views, and they accommodated the items I brought for the centerpieces. The food was great especially the steak for the tacos and the meatballs for the pasta. The brick walls event made a beautiful backdrop for photos. Thanks again Emily and the team at Marina Grill for the fantastic time we had for the rehearsal dinner.
We hosted our Rehearsal Brunch for our wedding at the Marina grill this August. This was such a great place, great views, with amazing staff who made it such an easy and stress free process. Emily was amazing at accommodating all of our wants for this occasion. We had 35 people and had an amazing brunch. The food was absolutely delicious and it was such a streamlined process with having a large group! Would for sure recommend hosting your event here!!
I have been to this restaurant twice, once with my grandma and the other a surprise party. The atmosphere was nice and there was live music which was fun/entertaining. I had the steak tips, and my grandma had the fish and chips both dishes were delicious, and our waiter Adam was very helpful. The surprise party was a success, there was great communication between Emily and myself. I selected the buffet style for dinner, the shrimp and grits were my favorite. The two female waitresses were also nice and attentive, great staff.
Great experience working with Emily to plan a dinner for 30 colleagues and clients following a conference next door. Everyone enjoyed the private atmosphere but great view on the mezzanine. The dedicated bar and wait staff were friendly and thorough. All the food was delicious and we were all impressed with the experience. Highly recommend.
Held a private event at Marina Grill a few days ago. Everything was great. I worked with Emily to plan the event, she made it easy. The actual event was great. We had a buffet style dinner, the food was perfect! We had a mishap with a cake we brought, the staff did their best to help out when they didn't have to. Overall it was great and would highly recommend!
I worked with Emily to host a dinner reception in conjunction with a workshop our company was holding in Wilmington. Set-up was extremely easy, a couple of emails and everything was arranged. Upon arrival we proceeded to the semi-private indoor mezzanine where our tables were set and the staff were waiting. The space is open and airy, with a slight view of the marina. The food was great and my group really enjoyed everything that was served. To accompany our food, Our bartender and server team were top notch and took care of our every need. If I host another meeting in Wilmington, Marina Grill will be my first call for food!
