Rave Reviews
“The Shell was the perfect place for my son’s wedding rehearsal dinner! It is gorgeous. Helen was super helpful and kind. We enjoyed having our own music playing and option for a slideshow. Jordan, the manager, was open and ready for us the day of the event. She thoroughly explained everything and went above and beyond to help us! I highly recommend The Shell for your event!”
