Bethany Beach Ocean Suites Residence Inn by Marriott Reviews

I recently (4/29/2023) had my wedding at the Bethany Beach Ocean Suites (BBOS) and it was a dream come true! The team at BBOS really went out of their way to make sure everything went well for my special day. The team was very responsive to any questions I had and also made sure my guests were taken care of! Everything was set up exactly how I wanted it to look - from the ceremony on the beach, to the cocktail hour in the main lobby, and finally to the reception in the ballroom. Also, the venue is the perfect location in Bethany Beach - it is right on the boardwalk, so your guests will love it!

Thank you again, BBOS! Your team is incredible and my wedding day there will always be one I will remember!

My husband and I got married at Bethany Beach Ocean Suites over a year ago. It was everything I wanted and much more. It was a beautiful ceremony out on the beach and then we walked a few steps for the reception! The reception area was laid out great and I loved the coral linens that I was able to chose from that went with our theme! All of our guests loved our food and got so many compliments on the seafood tower! The food was such a big hit. I would like to thank Annalise for everything she did for my husband and I. It was everything I ever dreamed of! I highly recommend to have a beach wedding here!

My husband and I were the first wedding reception held at the new Bethany Beach Ocean Suites at Bethany Beach, DE. The facilities are gorgeous, the staff is friendly, and the event coordinators went above and beyond to make sure our reception was as perfect as possible and that we had everything we needed.
Our family and friends are still talking about how amazing the hotel is, and how amazing it was to be right on the beach. The rooms, views, and amenities are some of the best in the area.
Our guests are also still raving about the food at the reception. My husband and I went back to 99 Sea Level for a Valentine's Day dinner, it was one of the best dinners we've ever had.
All around perfect experience, we couldn't imagine having had our wedding reception anywhere else.

We worked with Juli at 99 Sea Level to plan everything for our wedding weekend. She is knowledgeable, professional and clearly has extensive experience in the planning arena! The reception itself was lovely and the chef was incredible as promised. The food was delicious!
It was amazing to have most our guests staying right at the hotel and we are still hearing about how wonderful it was to be able to walk out the door onto the boardwalk, the beach and around town. It truly made the weekend easy and enjoyable for everyone!
Thanks to all at 99 Sea Level for an incredible and memorable weekend!

I highly recommend this venue! Our guests loved the hotel, the town, and the ease of it all. For the bride/groom, it has the ease of a hotel wedding, but the uniqueness and fun of a destination wedding. I also highly recommend late September or October for a less crowded town, and still warm enough to be on the beach.

Value:
Rental was $2,000, which included the wedding planning and day-of coordination with Juli. She is reliable, professional and will make your day run smoothly. I paid $95-$110 pp which included stationary hors d'oeuvres and full open bar for 4 hours.

Bethany Beach does not charge to have the ceremony on the beach but you need to get it approved. I used Grand Rental Station for one row of seats for the ceremony for $200 and brought my own arch.

The wedding was classy & fun, and truly appeared as if it was twice the price.

Logistics:
3 hour drive from DC; farther guests can fly into Salisbury. The hotel was an affordable $200/night, and included one parking space + breakfast. The bride/groom get the honeymoon suite at the same price which has great lighting for the bridesmaids to get ready. Our rehearsal dinner was at Mango’s and was also great.

My mother-in-law paid for the bar for out-of-town guests after our rehearsal dinner, but we otherwise used the hotel bar and the complimentary breakfasts as gathering places as “unsponsored” events, aka free for us! It gave us so much opportunity to actually hang out with our guests and felt like a full weekend of activities.

The 99 Sea Level restaurant/lobby just has a magical beachy, but classy feel to it. I love hanging out there and you will not be dissapointed!

The venue was amazing, the servers and bartenders during the ceremony and reception went above and beyond! Even with inclement weather and forcing our ceremony inside, it was beyond perfection! Thanks so much for making our day magical and flawless!!
