Amazing Beachside Venue

Lisa Wilgus and her team were amazing from start to finish. The communication was top notch, the food was absolutely amazing, and there are so many beautiful spots to choose from for the ceremony and/or reception. We got married on the beach and had our reception on the Dune Deck. Everyone turned out as close to perfect as possible. We highly recommend this location if you want the feel of a classic beachside hotel without being dated.

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!
