MarMo Plaza Styled Shoot - Tour One of Galveston’s newest Wedding Venues!
Featuring wedding vendors from the local Galveston area and members of the Bay Area Wedding Professionals, together we cultivated a tropical mid-century wedding ceremony and reception for this intricate styled shoot.
Styled shoots give the participating vendors an opportunity to showcase their skills and let their creative juices flow. It’s a great time to strengthen connections and grow together, while creating some beautiful magic in the process.
MarMo Plaza is one of Galveston’s newest wedding venues. It’s the perfect downtown venue for couples to create the wedding ceremony and reception of their dreams!
MarMo offers a modern-day blank canvas aesthetic in the heart of Galveston’s business district. Set in one of the island’s older banks, the space can be converted into anything with a little imagination and creativity. Featuring amenities such as an outdoor veranda, second-floor cocktail and conversation area, viewing balcony, service kitchen, elevator access and covered parking, the sky truly is the limit here.
