We have cleared and beautifully landscaped one third of an acre directly on the ocean. This area is an ideal location for a large seated
wedding reception or
dinner party. It accommodates up to 175 people and can be custom designed to suit the needs of any
wedding. We can assemble a large tent, dance floor,
bar, or bandstand. Other parts of the
Club may also be available including the ocean beach, gazebo, or the oceanfront dining
patio. The island itself furnishes many services and facilities that will make a
wedding perfect. It offers several denominations of churches for services. In the historic Harbour Island tradition, a horse drawn carriage can take the couple, followed by the North Eleuthra Marching Band - with guests in tow - through Dunmore town, along the water, and to the Beach
Club for the reception. Please contact Suzannah Kinsman at 303-516-0590. She is a past Dunmore Beach
Club Bride. She is more than happy to answer your questions and mail you
wedding packets upon request.
Originally created to cater to the Duke and Duchess of Windsor and their friends, Dunmore still has a private
club atmosphere. The Dunmore Beach
club accommmodates up to thirty-two guests in our sixteen ultra-private cottage accommodations. All our
rooms are comfortably appointed with
air-conditioning, overhead fans, monogrammed lounging robes, fresh floral arrangements, and ocean view patios nestled in an 8-acre
garden. Ten newly restyled and enlarged guest lodgings feature: fresh fabrics, six-foot
jacuzzi tubs, oversize
shower stalls, lighted make-up tables, twin sinks, a built-in
refrigerator and full wet
bar.
Harbour Island (or, Briland, as it is known to residents) is situated just off the northeast coast of Eleuthera. Only three miles long and a half mile wide, it is well protected from the rough weather by the treacherous reefs surrounding this island. Daily flights are available from Nassau, Ft. Lauderdale and Miami to North Eleuthra
Airport, our local
airport (ELH) and port of entry for private flights (4,500-foot runway; no gas).
