Beach Bride

Spectacular!
I could not have wished for a more amazing group of people… specifically Amanda Kemp, my wedding coordinator. … to guide me through the whole wedding process.
She is so well informed, attentive.. but not overly.. responsive, intelligent, well organised and just a really special lady.
If I needed anything and I mean anything, she was right there ! So accommodating!
Amanda helped us with menu choices, linens, set up for DJ, and made suggestions as where to get a wedding cake. Publix was perfect for that, delicious, beautiful cake !
The location is absolutely gorgeous. We had an arbor set up right on the beach for our ceremony and the beach was fabulous for pictures.
The reception room, Onslow Room, has a wall of windows looking out on the dunes which provided spectacular lighting and with the help of tablecloths and chair covers looked so pretty.
The food was absolutely delicious from the appetizers to the cake. We selected Chicken Parm.and London broil au jus for entrees.. sooo yummy!
Everything ran smoothly with Amanda’s time line in place. Our guests were happy, we are happy and so it was a happy ending!!
