Beautiful Wedding

My husband and I had our wedding at Hutchinson Shores Resort & Spa in April of 2024. This resort is hands down a beautiful location for a wedding. We worked with Tom and it was a smooth process, any questions or concerns that came up along the way were swiftly answered and handled. Outdoor ceremonies can be difficult to navigate with weather, but they are prepared for anything and can quickly set up beachside, on the patio overlooking the water or indoors in the ballrooms. We were blessed with beautiful weather all weekend and chose to have our ceremony on the patio. Our guests raved about the level of service provided as well as the quality of food, which many deemed to be the best wedding food they have had. For our family and friends who travelled from afar, it was a great home base for the entire weekend. I highly recommend Hutchinson Shores for your future wedding!

PS. I would highly recommend having a wedding planner at least on the day to help make sure all of your vendors are organized and that all the moving pieces on your wedding day are smooth, timely and just the way you want them to be.

Hidden Gem

My husband and I did six different venue Tours. When we came across Hutchinson Shores we fell in love! It was the perfect little Tropical/Beach vibe we were looking for. Tom was the absolute best. I probably sent him over 100 emails with a bunch of questions and he ALWAYS without a doubt (and quickly) answered them thoroughly and made me feel so comfortable throughout the process. If you are looking for a beach tropical spot- THIS IS YOUR PLACE. Very clean, professional and accommodating for all of your needs (we had some guests with dietary restrictions, and they did great on accommodating them). Food was delicious and the service was phenomenal! We received so many compliments on the bar service as well as the food. I feel there is such a stigma on Plated Food Weddings and the food being cold, but all of the meals were hot and ready right in time!

We got married right on the beach (A DREAM!) and had cocktail hour on the pool terrace. Butler passed hors d'oeuvres and champagne service was amazing and delicious. Dinner was in the ball room (beautiful). We planned for 117 people with 13 tables and had plenty of room.

My girls and I stayed in the Grand Suite the night before- the room service was great. Valet carried all of our items to the room and the room was absolutely beautiful with an ocean front view. Plenty of room for 10 of us to get ready the morning of the wedding!

Long story short: Hutchinson Shores and Tom is the best!

Absolutely beautiful and amazing

My husband and I got married on 10/2/21 and it was absolutely beautiful and awesome. The friendliest staff and not to mention, very accommodating on our needs and desires. Tom and his staff was an absolute delight and breath of fresh air. Any questions or last minute concerns were addressed and done without any hesitation. My career has been in events and knowing that things always happen and come up, it’s sometimes stressful, but not with Tom and his staff. My ceremony was on the beach and the cocktail hour was scheduled to be on the pool terrace, about 3 hours from go time - I was informed the wind was picking up and it may be in my best interest to move the cocktail hour into the foyer of the ballroom. It was a great idea and it turned out perfect. The Drift restaurant - the food was exceptional and having breakfast the next day available for my guests was perfect. Five Stars!

Amazing Wedding

My husband and I got married at Hutchinson Shores Resort & Spa on May 1, 2021. We decided to have our ceremony on the beach, our cocktail hour in the Sea Turtle Foyer, and our reception in the Sea Turtle Ballroom. From the start of our wedding planning journey until the day-of, Thomas Deahn - the wedding event coordinator for the hotel, was absolutely amazing, extremely friendly, and had no issues accommodating any/all of my husband and I's requests. The food at the hotel is absolutely delicious, and their restaurant - The Drift - is an actual hotspot for many locals. The hotel itself is beautiful, and incredibly clean. Being it's only a few years old, everything is still like brand-new, which is always an added plus. Overall, our wedding was magical and we are so thankful that we were able to create life-long memories. We can't wait to stay at Hutchinson Shores Resort in the future and bask in the memory of such a special day

Tom and team made or dream wedding reception and weekend a reality!

Hutchinson Shores was an amazing and magical place for our wedding. Due to COVID we had to postpone our wedding twice and move it from NC to Florida. Tom really helped us recreate our vision down to the exact personalized menu. The lighting, food, flexibility and ambience was absolutely perfect and breathtaking. Our guests were pampered and every amenity available. I highly recommend Tom and his team at the resort for your wedding.

11-14-20 Wedding AMAZING!

WOW is all I can say about Hutchinson Shores Resort & Spa. We were supposed to get married in March but postponed due to Covid. We finally decided to get married on November 14th and do a smaller wedding. Our original venue was closed so we had to find a different venue. We stayed at this hotel about 2 years ago and had an amazing weekend so we requested wedding information and decided it would be the perfect venue for our wedding!

From the beginning of planning, Tom and Steve were professional, helpful, and made sure no details were overlooked. My family and friends could not BELIEVE how beautiful the hotel was when they got there. The rooms are clean, beautiful and offer lovely views. The hotel restaurant Drift has amazing food for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. We ate here for all of our meals except for the wedding and had something different every time! All of the staff were extremely helpful and friendly throughout the weekend from the servers to the front desk to the housekeepers. I also liked how there were hand sanitizing stations throughout the hotel, it certainly made my guests feel more comfortable.

The wedding was amazing. We had our ceremony outside on the south pool deck facing the ocean, and then the cocktail hour/ reception inside in the Wahoo Room which was stunning! The food portions were large and tasted SO GOOD, unlike other wedding venues I have been a guest at before. The staff was there to make sure everything was going smoothly and checked in with us frequently throughout the night!

I cannot say enough good things about this amazing resort. I HIGHLY recommend Hutchinson Shores Resort & Spa!!! Thank you Tom and Steve for everything you did for us!!

Excellent wedding venue

We had to change venues 5 weeks before the wedding date due to pandemic. Tom Dehn, Event Manager worked with us and provided a beautiful outdoor ceremony and reception on their gorgeous property. The staff was incredible and made the bride and groom as well as the guests feel very special. We would highly recommend this venue.
