Surfsand was the perfect venue for our wedding this September. We had planned for a beach ceremony with our reception in the ballroom but brought the ceremony inside when a rainstorm rolled in. Kate at surfsand was a dream to work with - particularly the day of the event. She made sure to get in contact with all of my other vendors, my personal day-of contact, and myself, to make sure that my vision was executed, despite the weather. The surfsand catering staff were sure to check in with me throughout the day to make sure we stayed on schedule (and to make sure I was able to eat!). I am absolutely blown away by the progrssionalism of all of the surfsand staff. We have been vacationing here for the past few years and will continue to do so, after our wedding weekend.
My advice to other brides - dont sweat the small stuff. Surfsand will make sure your day plays out perfectly.

From the very first time I set foot at the Surfsand Resort in Cannon Beach, I knew it was where I wanted to get married. (This is not an exaggeration - I grew up on the East Coast and my first trip to Cannon Beach was a few years ago with my now-husband!)

The Surfsand was an amazing place for our wedding. We appreciate both of the coordinators we worked with at the Surfsand (Kate and Sarah). There were some wrenches and last minute changes - as there probably is with every wedding - but the staff really took everything in stride (even when I was having some freakout moments!) so I cannot thank the Surfsand team enough for their professionalism and flexibility.

Like many other couples, we had to reschedule our wedding due to COVID - we appreciated how easy it was to coordinate this.

It seemed like everything came together for our wedding - we were able to obtain a beach permit (Cannon Beach wasn't issuing these out due to COVID for a while) and we had beautiful weather. We are also so happy we chose the Haystack Gardens space with the tent so we were able to have some open air flowing for our reception. We will forever come back to stay at the Surfsand and remember that perfect day.

The Surfsand Resort was amazing to work with!! We worked with Sarah and she was amazing! Planning a wedding is not an easy task, but planning a wedding in the middle of a pandemic seemed impossible, until we got connected to the Surfsand Resort!
We live in Washington and the first wedding that we had planned for over a year had to be cancelled due to the pandemic. We were heartbroken and we finally said "Let's just get married on the beach!" It was worth it.
They were amazing to work with, especially with us being out of state. Sarah did a great job at getting back to us and was very flexible with us about the contract and the payments, especially with this whole pandemic! We were originally planning to have our reception at their Ballroom hall, but when the guidelines changed, Surfsand Resort accommodated and facilitated the change to their Haystack Garden venue.
They were able to make our dream wedding come true even with the pandemic. They navigated their way through the restrictions with grace and created a magical night for us.
We had disabled grandparents attend our wedding and the Surfsand staff were able to help our grandparents into their utility truck and get them down to the beach so they would not miss the ceremony! They drove them right up to their chairs, which was amazing because our grandparents were on oxygen and can't walk very well, but the Surfsand staff was able to make it so our grandparents could still be part of our day.
The food was amazing! The wait staff was amazing. The bartender was amazing. The reception set up was amazing.
The fact that we were able to plan such a remarkable wedding in only three months truly shows how great this venue was to work with.
At the end of it all, the Surfsand Resort was able to provide us with a magical evening. It no longer felt like we were in this crazy pandemic, it was beautiful and we are so grateful. I would get married here all over again.
