10/10 Beachside Occasions Experience

We used Beachside Occasions for our beachfront wedding, and we couldn’t be happier with our decision. They created a setup for our special day that exceeded anything we could have ever dreamed of. The arbor was absolutely stunning, and the arrangement of the chairs and aisle was nothing short of perfection.

Maggie was a complete gem to work with. She answered all of our questions with grace and patience, guiding us through the process since this was our first wedding and we had no experience with the unique details of a beach wedding. Her expertise and calm demeanor made everything so much easier for us.

On the day of the wedding, everything went off without a hitch. Maggie arrived with Jeff and Shane, introduced themselves, and got right to work setting up the most magical ceremony space imaginable—it truly looked like it belonged in a magazine. After the ceremony, while we were enjoying cocktail hour, the three of them seamlessly and efficiently disassembled everything without us even noticing. It was as if the magic had appeared and disappeared effortlessly.

We cannot recommend Beachside Occasions enough. If you’re looking to get married on the beach, this team is everything you could hope for and more. Thank you, Maggie, Jeff, and Shane, for making our wedding day unforgettable!

Nothing short of amazing!

The team at Beachside Occasions is nothing short of amazing! They were on the beach at 7am to make sure that our spot was saved and there were no issues with the public being in the space where we were having our ceremony. EVERYTHING was gorgeous, and set up perfectly. We had some personal requests for our family, and our wedding was not a typical wedding.. but they took our requests and turned them into reality. We are so unbelievably happy with everything that they provided for us.
They are the most down to earth, friendly and personable team that I have ever worked with for any event. If you are thinking about hiring Beachside Occasions for your wedding on the beach, they are hands down the best there is! We will always treasure the memories we made that day, and be grateful for how they made our dreams come true!

Perfect setup for beach wedding

They were on the beach at 6 am setting up and stayed there all day to make sure no one sat in the chairs or moved anything. I changed the colors of the sashes on the chairs and they were very helpful, they even sent me some songs for my ceremony. Also had water for our guests. Great company! Would recommend 100%!!

Gorgeous setup and amazing service!

Booking Beachside Occasions was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding! They found us the perfect officiant (Paul Biancardi was amazing), and was with us every step of the way. Maggie, Jeff and Paul came to the rehearsal and made sure all of our family and wedding party were on the same page. Their team was up early setting up in the exact spot we wanted on the beach and the setup was GORGEOUS! Maggie even helped put on boutonnieres and guided our wedding party (including the little ones) with where to go on the big day. Truly an amazing company to work with from start to finish and I’m so thankful they made our wedding so special!

Handled extremely well and had fun throughout the process.

Our big day went so smoothly thanks to Paul and Katherine. They walked us through everything from gaining the necessary permits, to who was sitting where. They made sure we were covered every step of the way and are true professionals.

Beyond Perfect During The Pandemic

Katherine and Paul took care of everything with such professionalism and ease for our big day. A lot of things can go wrong when you plan your wedding with an infant in a wagon, a sassy 6-year-old, a dwindling guest list due to The Pandemic, and 25 mile an hour winds for a “No Plan B” Beach Ceremony. But Katherine made it fun, and took all of my detailed requests to heart. She wrangled our guests, and even found my mother at the bar when the procession was ready to begin, while still managing to lead me and my daughter calmly down the shell-lined aisle. She coaxed everyone to sit and stand, and the music I chose was executed to my high performance standards. Paul did such an amazing job with the pavilion/fabric set-up, even with the high winds which didn’t make it easy. I will never forget how special they made my wedding day. If this wasn’t my third, and LAST (I swear)...I’d do it all over again. Thank you Katherine and Paul for your exceptional services. You guys need a raise.

Beachside Occasions Saved the Day!

We knew early on that Beachside Occasions was the vendor we wanted to go with for our 170+ guest wedding ceremony at Carolina Beach, NC. In March when the world stopped spinning and COVID flipped our wedding plans for May 2nd upside down, we were devastated. Paul and Katherine were quick to jump on the phone with me and reassure us that they were committed to doing our wedding no matter what changes we needed to make. They worked with us as we switched dates, decreased our wedding size down to 10 people, and continually reassured me that they were going to make this happen for us!!! And they did not disappoint! They made our wedding day SO special. It seriously brings tears to my eyes. I could not have imagined doing this without Beachside Occasions. The arch and flags were so gorgeous and really made it feel like a destination wedding!! The sound worked great and everything was just perfect. Having our wedding rescheduled due to a pandemic was heartbreaking, but Beachside Occasions went above and beyond to make sure we had the wedding ceremony of our dreams. When I look at pictures from our wedding, with my husband and I standing under that arch, I am so happy it turned out the way it did.

Extremely kind and helpful.

I loved working with Paul and Katherine. They were incredibly helpful during the entire planning process. Unfortunately we had to cancel my daughter’s wedding because of Co-Vid. They gave us a full refund even though the first deposit was non-refundable from the contract. Great people and very professional.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
