My Wedding

Excellent services and communication. Mercedes is the best planner. From the start to finish. All the staff were super accommodating and the food was for the God's! We recommended this Hotel for any type of event.

Exactly what we wanted

We couldn’t have thought of another way/place to have our wedding. Our coordinator Mercedes was awesome and made sure everything was as easy as possible for us. Would recommend the sands to anyone looking to have a beach wedding!

Wonderful!

Joe was awesome! He answered all my many questions. The venue did a great job through our initial visit and then the tasting. The food was fantastic and we were blown away by the quality. It made making our food selections much easier. The wedding itself was wonderful at the venue! It was beautifully decorated by our vendors and venue that fulfilled my vision. Joe was there the whole process. I would highly recommend!

Perfect wedding day!

Mercedes and Joe did an amazing job. Mercedes was able to decorate the room to perfection without much guidance on our part. Joe was super helpful and responsive the entire process. They also let us postpone the wedding twice during covid at no additional cost. 5 stars. Don't hesitate to book them if you love the venue. We couldn't have asked for a better team.

Amazing!!!

Can’t say enough good things about the Sands. Joe, Mercedes, and their team are truly top notch. We had a beautiful beach ceremony, a fun, laid-back cocktail hour in Kiwi’s Kove, and an elegant, yet fun, reception in the Swan Ballroom. The food was incredible, and the staff were so friendly and accommodating. Many of our guests said that this was the best wedding they’d ever attended!

Highly recommended wedding venue!

The Atlantic Sands was the perfect choice for our wedding venue! It was affordable, beautiful, and sensitive to how my husband and I wanted our wedding to look like. Joe MacDonald did the most fantastic job as our wedding coordinator; he was sociable, patient, responsive, accommodating, and extremely professional. The bridal suite had a beautiful oceanfront view, a jacuzzi, and plenty of space. My husband and I were offered our own private cocktail hour to unwind after the ceremony. We can't recommend this venue enough!

Amazing! I loved it.

I am so glad I got married at Atlantic Sands! EVERYTHING was perfect. Joe, Mercedes, and the entire team were phenomenal. Joe really made the entire process seamless & was genuine. We did our tasting on my in-laws 30th anniversary and Joe had a complimentary bottle of champagne and a handwritten note sent to their room. I love that it is all inclusive. They have a huge variety of decorations to choose from so you barely have to think of anything. The whole staff was friendly and accommodating. We loved the ocean front bridal suite- it was perfect for getting ready. I am just so happy with the ceremony set up and the reception! We were a bit behind schedule but one of the waitresses took time to calm my nerves and make sure we had a tray of appetizers on our table when we arrived from pictures. All my guests enjoyed their rooms, the pool, and raved about the reception. From the rehearsal dinner to the sparkler exit, Atlantic Sands made my wedding day dreams come true! I do not have my professional pictures back yet but here are some that were taken by friends/family. The food was delicious, the views are gorgeous, and Joe made the whole process so easy. I highly recommend Atlantic Sands for your wedding venue.

7/16/21 Wedding

We could not have chosen a more perfect venue for our special day! Joe and Mercedes make such a great team and helped execute all of our visions with such ease! From the minute we toured til the minute the reception ended, all staff was very attentive and made us a priority. Not a minute went by that I worried about a detail being out of place or that something would be forgotten. Joe and Mercedes were very accommodating and extremely responsive to our needs as a couple. The food was amazing (our guests had nothing but positives to say!), the beach ceremony went off without a hitch, and the entire day just flowed so smoothly! If we could "redo" our day, we would do so simply to just relive it over and over! We would not change one thing and could not have asked for a better team to help us!

I couldn't have asked for a more perfect day.

I can't review the staff and hotel at Atlantic Sands highly enough. Simply put, it was perfect. Last March, my now wife and I visited in our evaluation of venues. The moment we met Mr. McDonald (Joe) we knew we would be in great hands. We did a destination wedding to our favorite beach town with a total attending guest list of about 65 people. Joe and his staff answered literally dozens of emails with questions, recommendations, and assistance. They never once made me feel like an imposition. They even had items we could be borrow to help fill out our existing decor and helped make our vision perfect.
 
The week of the wedding we met with the whole team to go over final details. When we found out that the weather was not going to cooperate, they helped move our welcome party for our guests into the Grille where our rehearsal took place. They also helped move the wedding into the ballroom which turned out to be even better than we could have imagined. They let us in early to set up the wedding (I'm a hands on person) and took care of so much. They made us feel like we were their only wedding even though they had three in that weekend.
 
Even after the wedding they continued to make us feel like we were special. I really can't thank them enough.
 
If you are looking for a venue that will maintain communication, help guide you through the questions and process, and provide an absolutely wonderful experience...please contact The Atlantic Sands. Joe, Megan, and Mercedes have our absolute thanks for making our dream reality.

Match made in heaven!

Can't recommend Atlantic Sands Hotel & Conference Center enough. From our initial visit a year before our wedding date (got married in October 2019), the place just felt like the right fit. Joe and his team made us feel welcome and answered each and every single one of our questions and requests (trust me there were a lot of both) throughout the year.

The venue is pretty. It's spacious. It's accommodating. Everything is right there. The food was outstanding. The drink line-up was lenghty. The backdrop was beautiful. Talking to outside vendors we hired for various things, most of them all said they love dealing with the people at Atlantic Sands ... and we understand why.

Joe and staff made us feel like family. They are the type of people you would invite to your wedding. Your magical day is going to be a special one no matter what; but the right partner, the right audience and the right venue can make it extra special.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
