Lido beach resort November 2024 wedding

Lido beach resort was the perfect venue for our daughter’s wedding! The resort/ grounds/ beach were beautiful even though Helena and Milton tried to crash our event! I cannot thank Jayme, the resorts event manager, enough. He made certain that all our guests were well taken care of. Kudos to lidos chef… our guests raved about our wedding dinner! Thank you to the waiters/ waitresses, bartenders, swanky Christine, our DJ that kept the dance floor hopping! Highly recommend this venue!

Dream Wedding

Lido Beach Resort exceeded our expectations by providing a first-class experience for our wedding party. From the initial planning stages to the big day, their flexibility and attention to detail truly stood out.

The team at Lido Beach Resort showcased exceptional professionalism and were always willing to accommodate our requests with a positive attitude. They made sure to address any concerns we had promptly, ensuring a smooth and stress-free planning process.

One particular highlight was the resort's stunning decor and ambiance, which added a touch of elegance to our special day. The staff went above and beyond to create a beautiful setting that left us and our guests in awe.

While there were a few minor details that could be improved upon, such as slight delays in responsiveness to certain inquiries, these were overshadowed by the overall fantastic experience we had at Lido Beach Resort.

In conclusion, we highly recommend Lido Beach Resort for any couple looking to have a memorable and magical wedding experience. Their dedication to making our day perfect, combined with their beautiful venue and top-notch service, truly made our celebration unforgettable. Thank you to the team at Lido Beach Resort for helping us create lasting memories that we will cherish forever.

Beautiful Venue

Lido Beach Resort was the whole package! The beaches were beautiful, with gorgeous sunsets. Even though we were set to have a sunset wedding, it was drizzling the day of, but we were able to proceed with the ceremony on the beach! (They had an alternative for if the weather got really bad, and told us that it is up to us and that if it needs to be changed last minute they were on it). The beach was blocked off for our guests to sit and other hotel guests to stay back. The beach was cleaned and looked beautiful. We worked with Scott and Kara. Both wonderful planners! Responses were fast and provided all information we needed. It also included a cake, made by Cakes by Ron, which was coordinated and set up just perfectly at the venue. It also included a personal behind the scenes coordinator Swanky Soiree. They made sure everything was set up and that everything ran so smooth. It was a stress free wedding for us. We were able to come and taste test the food before the ceremony. The food catered was DELICIOUS. We also were able to pick the color schemes for the reception, which was also held at the hotel. Everything was perfect. We even stayed at the hotel, and received phenomenal service.

I loved it!

The resort was everything we wanted for our honeymoon. The beach view suite and views was fabulous. The customer service was excellent. The beach was breathtaking and the tiki bar was our favorite while staying there.

Checked all the boxes

We wanted a beach wedding with a great indoor reception. Lido is exactly that! I’m so excited to have a sunset wedding on the beach! Then cocktail hour is outdoor but covered so our guest will still enjoy the sunset. Then we go inside to an amazing ballroom! The price is definitely affordable as well! Karen is the best!

Beach wedding success

The beach venue is beautiful as well as the newly renovated ballroom!! The event manager scott was a great help in making my day a dream come true!! I started with another event coordinator half way through ended up with scott handling our wedding, would have been better if he was with us from the beginning! All in all I was very pleased with the resort! I would recommend lido beach resort for your wedding if your dealing with Scott, you will be in good hands.

Amazing views, great service & wonderful location

I couldn’t rave more about having my wedding here! Amy was easy to work with, attentive and handled every detail. We had a smaller wedding and it felt perfect here. We could have everything from the beach front ceremony to a pool side cocktail hour to a gorgeous reception space. The food was great! The views for photos were spectacular and all of the guests loved staying here!

Amazing and Perfect

What a wonderful experience we had with Lido Beach Resort. Sara and her team took care of EVERYTHING! All of our guests stayed at the resort to give us that togetherness feel for the entire time. The beach style wedding was PERFECT. I've never had so many compliments from all of my guests regarding the resort and the food and service at the reception. THANK YOU!!
