My wife and I got married at Coral Sands earlier this summer. We have nothing but good things to say about the venue and Brandy, the event coordinator. We first spoke to Brandy when we had only about six months before our desired wedding date. She got to work right away reserving our date, providing us with a list of her recommended vendors, and helped us communicate with those vendors as well. Brandy always responded promptly when we had questions and was very accommodating when we had special requests. The venue is beautiful. We had our ceremony right on the beach. If you choose to have your special day at Coral Sands, Brandy will do everything she can to make it perfect.

October 9th, 2021 was the most happiest day of my life. When Paul and I got engaged 5 years ago we both knew we wanted a beach wedding. Coral Sands came recommended to me by a fellow co-worker that attended a wedding there previously. So Coral Sands was the first and only place we looked at. Katie Prestwood was an absolute GEM to work with. She was professional in everything she did, even having a baby in the midst of planning. But she was back for the big day and it went off without a hitch.
ALL of our guests said it was one of the best weddings they had attended and had the most fun ever. The weather was perfect for a beach wedding and outside reception under the tent.
I highly recommend this place for a very low key and personal wedding. It fit our budget as we were both married previously and were engaged so long, we were looking for somewhere where we could just have a great party with all of our friends.
So many of our guests never knew about Coral Sands and we had almost everyone at the wedding book rooms to stay and make a great weekend of it. Some have even returned for a weekend after the wedding.
I can't say enough about Katie and her staff. Do yourself a favor and take a peek and this "Little Gem" of a place.

Don't even hesitate, book it now! It was the most beautiful setting and Coral Sands, especially Katie, were amazing to work with. Between the coral sand beaches, the well maintained lawn, three poster fence and the gorgeous tent it was a stunning setting. (PS we got to use the tent all weekend, Friday we used it for welcome drinks after the rehearsal dinner and Sunday we did a small breakfast in the tent as well.)
We planned our wedding in 7 months and from the moment we said yes to Coral Sands it was smooth sailing. My parents live in Ormond Beach and my husband and I live in Philadelphia so it was partially planned from a distance. Katie was responsive and anything we threw at her she made it work. Different colored chairs, long tables instead of round, a caterer that had never done a wedding before, new band, a million questions from me, no problem! She thought of things we wouldn't have thought of like a sound system for the wedding to make sure our guests could hear over the waves.
We did our wedding on the beach in front of the tent at 3:30pm, end of November as the sun was setting. (I would say do the beach it was perfection, they do have other options but why not!) Katie not only helped with the rehearsal the day before but was there to take my sandals from me before I walked down the aisle.
The tent, table, chairs and linens were all beautiful. Since it was later in the year she even got us heaters just a week out from the wedding. They were perfect for our older guests. She checked in with us the day before and the day of but was never intrusive.
Ormond beach doesn't require a permit for bonfires, just a fire ring which we got from amazon and did one on the beach after the wedding, a great ending to the prefect beach wedding/party.
Most of our out of town guests stayed in the cottages and hotel. They couldn't say enough about how accommodating the staff was. The resort looked beautiful and it was so nice to have everything in one spot.
Our guests continue to say it was the best, most beautiful and fun wedding they have ever been to. My husband and I keep saying we wish we could do the wedding day again. We will be back to Coral Sands to relive the best day of our lives.
