Our 15th anniversary Vow Renewal Celebration at Hammock Beach Resort was absolutely perfect, everything we wanted. The location with the beach background was so beautiful! The staff was amazing! Sandra Oliveira, the Catering Sales Manager was wonderful, always helpful, nice and made sure everything went smoothly. Ilda, the Banquet Supervisor was equally wonderful along with the servers & bartenders. We had so many compliments on the food, especially the short ribs, really great. And many of our guests had never been to HBR and said they loved it. We are so blessed to have had this awesome experience!!!

Exceeded Expectations
While getting engaged at Hammock Beach on July 4th, we noticed another wedding underway on the property. Wow we were impressed! It was gorgeous!
When wedding planning started we just had this feeling we couldn't afford such an incredible, high end venue. Fast forward 5 months and Sandra has made all of my dreams come true! Sandra helped us plan an affordable but upscale wedding that blew everyone away AND kept everyone safe.
The planning started with a tour and budget talks. They have multiple areas on the property they host weddings, all of them are stunning. Planning a destinantion wedding was a bit chaotic as you can't just drive by and take a look at the place when you have questions. Sandra was very quick to respond to all of my questions about the venue via email and there was never a lack of communication from her. I am also thankful for Suzanne who assisted my guests with booking rooms and planning their stay.
Then the biggest bridge we had to cross was my gluten allergy. Not only did the chef agree to make me a gluten free meal, he made me and my other celiac guests replicas of each plate so we could enjoy with everyone else. Nobody, and I mean NOBODY does that! Its either all gluten free or you get a salad while everyone else enjoys a full meal. What a guy! Speaking of food, it was delicious. To this day I get compliments on how the food was appetizing, temperature controlled and most importantly, tasty! If you are worried about the quality of buffet food, don't be. Hammock Beach knows how to do it! They also made special last minute consessions I requested (due to lack of planning on my part!) If you have a special request don't be afraid to ask. If they can accomadate, they graciously will.
The property is well maintained which made for great photo ops before and after. Props to the ground crew/maintinence and housekeeping who maintain such a large venue with such high standards. You see how much they care by how well everything is maintained and manicured. Bravo!
What is a good review without the constructive criticism? Every wedding will have a few hiccups so it wouldn't be fair if I didn't mention them. The salon leaves a bit to be desired as far as wedding hair and makeup. The prices are on par with outer companies however the facilities and training of staff are not. If you are wanting a glam look with highlight and contour and perfect hair i.e the works..their artists are not for you. I had to have my makeup trial twice as the first didn't go well. I had a very simple hair style and it fell within an hour. I also had my moms hair "done" They charged $90 to flat iron..and she has straight hair. That didn't include wash or cut. Just running a flat iron through it. The stylists are very friendly though and with some training and a better facility this could be such an awesome amenity that more guests would utilize. I do 100% recommend a facial with Christina if you have time. She is incredible and it is so worth the $$.
I was pretty bummed that the outdoor pool and hot tub close at dark which is 5:30 this time of year however Carleigh from the kids club set us up with an awesome fire pit that we rented for $200 (several hours) and set up on the Champions lawn. It came with a bottle of wine, enough smores for 30 people, seating and much more! It was the highlight of the entire day as we really got to spend quality time with friends and family that were staying at the resort. I highly recommend this activity for those that have brunch/early weddings.
I won't leave without mentioning Covid since that is what everyone wants to know about. We did scale back our wedding to only 50 guests in light of the pandemic. With the help of Sandra we were able to social distance appropriately and keep everyone, including both grandmas safe. I can confidently say with all the measures taken, no one became ill that attended the wedding.
Overall I had a phenomenal experience working with Hamock Beach and I am forever thankful to those who exceeded expectations to really make my day special.

Amazing Wedding Venue!
We had our wedding at Hammock Beach Resort May 7th 2021 and it really was the wedding of our dreams. Flash forward one month later, and we still have guests reaching out to us saying it was one of the best weddings they've ever been to. We had our wedding ceremony in lodge lawn, cocktail hour lodge tent & reception in Atlantic Ballroom. Sandra Oliviera was our coordinator at Hammock Beach and was super sweet & prompt with all questions & concerns we had throughout the whole wedding process. The food, drinks, beautiful backdrop, & service was by far worth 5 plus stars. The entire banquet team was very kind and they always made sure my husband and I were served from cocktail hour & throughout the entire reception. We also had a breakfast farewell brunch the day after our wedding at Hammock Beach which I highly recommend! All of the guests loved it and it was such a nice way to end an incredible weekend. Aside from being an amazing wedding venue, Hammock Beach is a beautiful and fun place for everyone. It has a destination wedding feel to it & all of our guests made a weekend out of it. From golf, restaurants, bars, spa, kids pool, it was the PERFECT place for our wedding & our guests just keep saying how great of a time they had which is always nice to hear. We will cherish these memories made for a lifetime & it is all thanks to Hammock Beach Resort and their amazing team!
