Ashore for sure!

We had the most perfect wedding day at Ashore Resort and Beach Club! The director of catering, Lisa Wilgus, was exceptional! She was so sweet, attentive, and did everything she could to accommodate our needs. Maria was also a huge help during the ceremony and reception. She made sure we had food, drinks, and assisted in transporting things back to our room at the end of the night. All of the staff at Ashore is wonderful! Our guests are still talking about how delicious the food was! The rooms were clean, beautiful, and have great views of the beach. We looks forward to staying at Ashore again in the near future!

The Clarion made our wedding reception the most amazing reception I could have imagined! We got so much bang for our buck! The food was amazing, Lisa Wilgus (all the staff, really) were amazing, and helped the day run smoothly. Everyone in the Clarion was so kind, and it felt like family being there. I highly recommend to anyone interested in an Ocean City reception!

The Clarion was the first of 2 places we looked to have our wedding in Ocean City and fell in love with the place when we met Kay Windsor, the Coordinator. She took care of every detail and made sure the family and guests were taken care of the entire 4 days of our wedding weekend. She met with us several times prior to our wedding, let us stay at the hotel and treated us to brunch and dinner so we could get a feel for the hotel atmosphere, the food and the staff. I would highly recommend having your wedding or any event at The Clarion.
