Essex Marina is a full-service marina with water slips, marine service, member amenities and waterfront access. Its current official site specifically identifies Riversbend as the property’s restaurant for dining and special events.

A Riversbend wedding or event order should therefore identify Riversbend, rather than simply using “Essex Marina,” so the delivery reaches the correct event destination.

  • The ceremony or event start time
