Couldn't have asked for a better venue!
The Ashworth's Sales Rep and Team were always there to help us whenever we needed it. Response time was quick. The overall order of everything went smoothly. The food was amazing, the decor and the view. Price is definitely affordable. I would do it all again, it was amazing!

Stress free Vendor
We had nothing but an amazing experience with the Ashworth at Hampton. The venue was amazing with great opportunity to walk across the street for perfect photos. The food was delicious including all of our appetizers. We were able to go above and beyond to have the wedding of our dreams with a reasonable price. The team at the Ashworth was polite and accommodating. We especially want to thank Eileen, the wedding coordinator, for all her hard work and dedication brought it all together. Our first wedding got canceled because of COVID.. Eileen assured me that everything would be fine and that she would make it all happen income together the way we wanted and deserved.. she definitely is true to her word. So with all that being said, if we had to do it all over again we were definitely picked the Ashworth a Hampton and recommend all of our friends and family to go there do you have a great experience.

Amazing!
My Husband and I had to replan and replan our wedding when we finally found the Ashworth by the Sea in Hampton. It is such a hidden gem that we can't recommend ENOUGH! from every detail to the wedding and the communication it was perfect. Eileen the wedding coordinator is easily the best person I have ever worked with. I am also a professional photographer and she made this process fun and easy! We want to relive that weekend over and over and over. The food is amazing the service is top notch and its on the beach what more do you need! Call them for your wedding. I can not wait to go back again just to visit. Thank you for all you did and do for us!

A Perfect Day!!!
For 2 years, my daughter planned every detail for her special day. A day every litte girl dreams of her whole life. The Ashworth, Eileen Minard, and Chef Rick made her dream a reality. The venue was perfect to host 181 guests and the ability to stay overnight was a big plus. The Ashworth provided live entertainment late into the evening so the party did not stop after the reception. A followup Post Wedding Brunch the following morning was the icing on the proverbial cake. I didn't know what to expect as my daughter did all of the planning herself with the assistance of Eileen. Chef Rick did an amazing job preparing the food so that each of our guests had something they could enjoy. The day was exactly what my daughter was looking for and the extra plus was the weather was perfect as well. we would highly recommend the Ashworth By The Sea for any event. Pleasure to work with. Thank you again Ashworth!!!!!

The Ashworth by the Sea was a terrific venue for our wedding reception. They were helpful with the process from the beginning. The reception was absolutely perfect, a day we will never forget. The food selections and prices were the best of the venues that we evaluated. The food tasted great and the guests loved both the entrees and appetizers. We were very pleased with the overall execution of the event. We highly recommend that you consider the Ashworth when choosing venues.

I wanted to take a moment to recognize and thank Ashworth for a wonderful wedding weekend. I was married at Ashworth on July 2, 2017. We made a whole weekend of it at Ashworth, rehearsal dinner the night before the wedding, morning buffet day of wedding, and post wedding brunch. This would have not been possible without the help and guidance of Brielle. She is a gem! She was so amazingly patient with my many, many emails/questions and also equally patient with my family who had a vision for the ballroom on my wedding day. She helped guide me through the whole process, from start to finish. During the wedding weekend, she was a calming and supportive resource to me and family. Ashworth is lucky to have such an amazing employee, who really helped to shape the success of my wedding weekend. When I was looking for a wedding venue, I did look for positive reviews of a supportive coordinator, great communication, and an overall great experience. Brielle offered all those qualities and more. My husband and I can’t thank Brielle enough! We both really enjoyed working with her and we highly recommend having your wedding at Ashworth (and working with Brielle!) It is apparent heart and passion drive her work,(that is apparent in all our interactions with her) which supports her being successful in working with brides/grooms who are feeling overwhelmed and scatterbrained. Brielle was our calming force our wedding weekend and we are very thankful to her! Thank you again to Ashworth, and especially to Brielle.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
