Say your vows
with the tide.
A restored 19th-century tall ship docked in a cobblestone harbor. Teak decks, Edison lights, and the Atlantic as your witness.
She was built
to last forever.
The SV Mooring is a fully restored 1887 gaff-rigged schooner — original teak decks, hand-forged brass fittings, and a hull that has survived 138 Atlantic winters. She is Coast Guard certified, fully insured, and permanently docked at Harborview Wharf.
"The only venue where the building itself is a love letter to the sea."
From sunrise
to last call.
Every wedding at Mooring is its own story. These are the moments that keep repeating.
