Absolutely Amazing

I had a destination wedding here on 9/16/23 of 120 guests. There are not enough words to express the appreciation I have for all the staff at Surfside . They were so accommodating, so caring and extremely patient to all my friends and family. Mark and Nikki were amazing, I had a bridal party of 24 and with their help made it all work smooth. I put all my trust in Mark to plan and coordinate my whole wedding because I was so overwhelmed and incapable of even knowing where to begin. Mark told me all I have to do is pretty much just show up with our attire and he would genuinely take care of everything else. Let me say , he did not disappoint at all. Every idea, every thought and every fine detail , through his enormous, caring heart, his unbelievable talent , and being a Jack of many, many trades made my wedding the most beautiful day I ever could have dreamed of and more. He worked overtime with us , answered every question, returned every call even when he was off, late night or even sick in bed, he was there for us every step of the way . The day was picture perfect. Not only did I gain the best day of my life , I gained a friend.

Perfect place for a wedding

Mark & Nicole we’re awesome to deal with, no pressure from either. Super helpful with planning/ideas & understanding our vision of what we were looking for. Communication via email & phone calls was constant on everything.
The crew had everything set up for the outdoor wedding in a flash & well oiled machine.
The food was just fantastic, 6 months later we are still getting compliments on how great the food was from the appetizers (especially the huge scallops & jumbo shrimp) to all the main courses we offered.
Everyone had a great time & raves about the facility.

August Wedding

My husband Sammy and I had our ceremony and reception at the Surfside. When I tell you it exceeded my expectations, that would be an understatement. Mark kept communication with me the entire time, asking all of the questions I needed answered and kept me accountable when it came to making timely decisions about the wedding.
The coordination on the rehearsal night and day of wedding was so appreciated.
They made sure everything ran smoothly. The venue itself is stunning. As a local my whole life I was so grateful to get married on the lake. The views were stunning, the reception space was beautiful and updated and the food was delicious. I have nothing bad to say! The best day of my life, I wish we could do it all again.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
