Amazing Venue for our Rehearsal Dinner & Welcome Party!

My wife & I recently held our Wedding Rehearsal Dinner, Welcome Party, and Wedding Room Block at Ashore Resort and Beach Club and we had the most amazing wedding weekend! The event planning was top notch - Lisa Wilgus and her team provided incredible service from our initial vision & planning meeting all the way through the execution of the events! Our Rehearsal Dinner was incredible as we were able to take full advantage of the Tide Room restaurant including amazing views, excellent food, and even our own private satellite bar. We then had our Welcome Party at their Shore Deck venue and our guests were blown away by the ocean views and how amazing the space was. We opted to have a themed "White Party" and we were able to work with Ashore to coordinate a gourmet Mac & Cheese bar, private bar on the outside bar overlooking the ocean, and even a DJ. Our guests are still talking about the White Party & how beautiful the event space was! Overall we could not have asked for a better kickoff to our wedding weekend and are so thankful we selected Ashore! If you are looking for a memorable beach front venue with incredible food and amazing staff, look no further then Ashore Resort & Beach Club!

Held Rehearsal Dinner and Welcome Party in the Tide Room

I held my son's Rehearsal Dinner and Welcome Party in the Tide Room at the Ashore. The venue was perfect! The ocean front room was a perfect backdrop to the evening. Lisa Wilgus was wonderful to work with from beginning to end. Her many years of experience brought great ideas and she was always very responsive. She even was pouring wine the night of the event. She went above and beyond! Sandra was exceptional the night of the event. She took care of any request I had and my guests felt very welcomed. She packed up all of my decorations at the end of the night and was truly instrumental in making the night a success!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
