Lighthouse Point & Courtyard, a private dining room with a dance floor and a quiet courtyard, can accommodate small weddings of up to 90 guests. Danversport, which is owned and maintained by the DeLorenzo family, began as a dream more than 50 years ago when Joseph DeLorenzo envisioned a particular spot for the community to celebrate life's significant occasions. He and his wife Barbara eventually bought this lovely piece of property and began construction on a "big band" type dance hall and marina. The Danversport Yacht Club first opened its doors in 1970, and it rapidly became a popular spot for supper, dancing, and live music. Danversport has thrived and evolved throughout the years to accommodate weddings and special events of all sizes. We're now in the third generation of the DeLorenzo family, and we're just as committed to giving exceptional experiences in a spectacular environment as Joseph was. We're also enthusiastic about the actions we're doing to better our business and assist our community by utilizing solar renewable energy, recycling, and vegetable gardening. Above all, we're honored to continue assisting you in celebrating and making amazing memories. We hope you have a great day in Danversport! Thank you very much for your business.
