Dream Venue

The Seabird Resort was our DREAM venue! We could not ask for a better place to host our special day. Everything from the location, to the food, service, and overall vibe, we would recommend the Seabird 10/10 times! We wish we could do it all over again!

Perfect Venue for a Perfect Wedding

We had our wedding at the Seabird in September 2022. The Seabird was the PERFECT wedding venue. I truly believe that the venue is what made our wedding so great. All of our guests raved about how pretty the property & their guest rooms were. The food at our reception was cooked to perfection; we don't even know how they managed to cook everything so perfectly for 140+ guests at dinner. Their venue manager, Rebecca, was amazing to work with, and she always responded promptly throughout the planning process and made sure our vision came to life! Also, the spa at the hotel was able to accommodate hair and makeup for all the bridesmaids & moms - it was incredible to be able to have that done in the resort. Their spa services are really top notch!

I would highly recommend this venue to anyone - it is definitely worth a visit. The Seabird encompassed everything we had in mind for our wedding from the modern ballroom with white shiplap walls to a beautiful ceremony space overlooking the ocean.

Outstanding wedding venue with exceptional food and aervice

We were so impressed with the entire Seabird experience and service! The wedding space is beautiful and the food was delicious — we were surprised by how many people came up afterwards and said how good the food was, which you don’t usually hear at a hotel wedding. Attendees really loved staying at the hotel (especially enjoying the pool) and exploring the surrounding area. A bustling and vibrant vibe with the hotel so close to the beach, which worked for us. There was a concert by the pier that could have disturbed our outdoor wedding, and hotel brought in hedges and enhanced the speakers to alleviate any issues. Rebecca was a pleasure to work with and really responsive. We also rented the salon for the bride and bridesmaids for hair and makeup. Marissa and the salon went above and beyond to make sure that our needs were met at all times. Overall, a terrific venue and we’d host another event here in a heartbeat.

Best Venue Ever!

Still stunned with how amazing and wonderful my wedding turned out at The Seabird! We hosted our rehearsal dinner, welcome party, ceremony, and reception onsite and it was flawless. The staff did everything imaginable to accommodate us. From receiving our last minute Amazon packages to allowing us to store decorations in the event room to standing guard on the sidewalks during the ceremony, they really did the most to make everything go smoothly. Rebecca was amazing with communication to make sure we understood every detail of our contract and provided us with all of the information we needed ahead of our special day! The onsite staff was so friendly, helpful, and definitely knew how to have a good time! On top of that, the food was amazing!!! I am grateful from the bottom of my heart for everyone that works here and would recommend this to anyone looking for an unforgettable venue!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
