10.26.24 Wedding

Our wedding was an absolute dream thanks to the team at Palmetto Dunes Resort. Erin and Lisa went above and beyond to make sure our day was perfect and stayed in constant contact during the planning process. Ryan and his team made the day of food and drink execution flawless - shoutout to Ryan for making sure we always had drinks in hand! We had so many guests rave about how amazing the whole day/night were and none of it would’ve been possible without the team.

The BEST Wedding Reception

No notes! This venue and team blew every expectation out of the water. Lisa and Erin were impressively organized, punctual, and helpful from the initial consultation through the end of the event. They made it so easy to enjoy the process knowing that they were going to ensure a fabulous event! I could not sing their praises any higher, they were nothing short of a delight to work with!

Rehearsal Dinner-Alexander's Restaurant and Wine Bar

We held our son's rehearsal dinner at Alexander's Restaurant and Wine Bar. They were very easy to work with, had nice options to choose from for an event and the room was lovely. The food and service was very good. We had about 36 guests for the rehearsal dinner and everyone kept telling us afterwards how nice it was. I would recommend them for an event and would use them again in the future.
