Amazing Service, Amazing Staff, Amazing Experience!!!

I don't know where to start! This was the most seamless experience I have ever had with a venue and catering service. They exceeded my expectations in every way. Amanda Kemp is a dream to work with and accommodated a myriad of last-minute changes with ease and beauty. We had to move the wedding from the beach indoors for weather and what they provided was as beautiful or better, with an an amazing wedding arbor that was beautifully appointed. We just added a few of our flowers and sash to match our color theme.

The food was wonderful (I highly recommend the hushpuppies, mac & cheese balls and salmon) and I received so many compliments at the rehearsal dinner in addition to the reception.

It is such a wonderful thing to have someone who is always looking at the timing and had things like the champagne ready for toasts, the cake cut beautifully and then when we were doing the sendoff for the bride and groom, we came back upstairs to find all of our decorations neatly collected for us so we just had to box them up and leave.

I was in the catering business for some years, and this experience is everything I would have expected but better. The staff was courteous and friendly and attentive to all of the requests made. I can't say enough! Amanda, you are amazing!

My opinion is that if you are looking to do everything at the beach (rehearsal dinner, wedding ceremony and reception), this is a one-stop shop!!! You will be guaranteed quality and excellence at every step.

Great venue and coordinator for our special day!!

We had a dream of having a small beach wedding and we got exactly what we wanted and more. The venue is absolutely beautiful. The beach ceremony was perfect. We had some concerns about the high tide and the sun was blinding me during the ceremony BUT it all worked out perfectly. Amanda was amazing with coordinating everything, and even helped with getting our outside decorations set up. The food and open bar were amazing and the venue staff were phenomenal!! Would highly recommend to anyone looking to have a beach wedding!! This was the perfect venue for our special day!!

Wedding April 20

Amanda was amazing for my wedding. She helped me with everything. I would recommend Amanda and the wedding venue. I couldn’t have asks for anything better. The only thing I would have changed is asking for water and more appetizers for my wedding party and myself. I never got to try the appetizers and by the time we were introduced the appetizers were already gone. My wedding was amazing.
