LOVE TYDE!!! Best Wedding Venue Ever!!

Choosing Tyde at Walnut Beach for our wedding was one of the best decisions we made, and we cannot say enough about the incredible experience we had!!!

From the moment we first visited, we knew there was something special about this place. On June 21st, surrounded by 130 of our family and friends, we celebrated the beginning of our marriage in the most beautiful setting imaginable. Every detail came together perfectly, allowing us to focus on what mattered most, each other and the people we love.

Our journey to this day was filled with so much anticipation, excitement, and personal meaning. After everything life has brought us through, standing together by the water and finally becoming husband and wife felt like a dream. The team at Tyde helped make that dream a reality. They treated us like family, answered every question, calmed every worry, and made us feel genuinely cared for throughout the entire process.

There are places you celebrate milestones, and then there are places that become part of your story forever. Tyde at Walnut Beach will always be that place for us. After a journey that taught us resilience, patience, and the true meaning of unconditional love, we stood overlooking the water and promised each other forever. There isn't another venue we could imagine having started our marriage in!

The venue itself is breathtaking, but what truly sets Tyde apart is the people behind it!!! Rosa, Grace and all of the staff at Tyde made us feel so at ease the morning of our wedding and made the day truly remarkable. Their kindness, professionalism, attention to detail, and dedication to making our day perfect did not go unnoticed. Every member of the staff worked tirelessly to ensure that everything flowed seamlessly, and our guests are still talking about how beautiful, welcoming, and unforgettable the evening was.

What impressed us most was how effortless the entire evening felt. Behind the scenes, your team was constantly making sure every detail was taken care of, allowing us to be completely present with one another and our guests. We never had to worry about timelines, transitions, or logistics because we knew we were in the best hands. That gift is priceless for any bride and groom.

Our guests continue to tell us how incredible the food was, how attentive and welcoming the staff were, and how beautiful every part of the venue was, from cocktail hour to the reception. So many people have said it was one of the most beautiful and smoothly run weddings they've ever attended, and we owe so much of that to your amazing team!

As the night came to an end, we found ourselves taking one last look around the room, realizing that this place would forever hold one of the happiest days of our lives. It wasn't just where we had our wedding—it became the place where our next chapter began.

Thank you for giving us more than a venue. Thank you for giving us a place where our love story will always have a home. Every time we drive by Walnut Beach, we'll remember the moment we became husband and wife, surrounded by everyone we love.

When we look back on our wedding day, we'll remember the joy, the laughter, the happy tears, the sunset views, and the overwhelming feeling of love that filled the room. Thank you for giving us the perfect place to start our forever.

We will cherish these memories for the rest of our lives. ❤️

Best day of our lives thanks to Tyde!

We truly cannot recommend TYDE enough as a wedding venue. The venue itself is absolutely beautiful — brand new, state-of-the-art, and thoughtfully designed from top to bottom. The ocean view is breathtaking and makes for a stunning ceremony backdrop if you choose to get married outside, as well as incredible photos. The ballroom is a perfect size, the cocktail hour room and patio are such a cool and unique space, and having outdoor access was a huge hit among our guests.

The staff is as good as they come. Every single person we interacted with was considerate, friendly, knowledgeable, and incredibly professional. With all the running around that comes with a wedding day, they constantly made us feel taken care of and completely at ease. Even when a quick thunderstorm changed our ceremony plans, the staff did not blink. They handled everything seamlessly, and multiple guests commented on how beautiful the ceremony was, even with the move indoors.

The food was another major highlight. More guests than we can count reached out to us afterward to say how phenomenal everything was. Many said the cocktail hour was some of the best food they had ever had at a wedding. The pasta bar especially got rave reviews, and people could not stop talking about how many hors d’oeuvres were being passed. For dinner, we had an abundance of steak orders, and just as many compliments about how juicy, delicious, and perfectly cooked it was. My personal favorite was the honey salmon, which was melt-in-your-mouth delicious. The dessert boys were, of course, a huge hit as well, and our guests could not get enough of all the sweets.

We also have to give a special thank you to Rosa. We truly do not know how she does it all, but she is the best. She lives and breathes weddings, and she helped us every step of the way — from things we may not have thought of or planned for, to offering thoughtful advice from her years of wedding expertise. Rosa was a huge selling point for us when choosing TYDE, and she lived up to that and then some. We were so lucky to have her help with our big day.

Overall, TYDE gave us the best day of our lives, and the venue and staff played such a huge role in making that happen. People left saying it was the most fun wedding of their lives, and we could not be more appreciative. If you are considering TYDE for your wedding, we cannot recommend it highly enough.

10/10 wedding venue!!!!

From the moment we first stepped through the doors, we knew we had found something truly special. This venue exceeded every expectation we had—and then some. The facility itself is absolutely stunning, with elegant details and a warm, inviting atmosphere that made our wedding feel both luxurious and deeply personal.

What truly set this place apart, though, was the staff. Every single person we interacted with was attentive, professional, and genuinely invested in making our day perfect. They handled every detail seamlessly, allowing us to relax and fully enjoy each moment. It felt like they anticipated our needs before we even had to ask.

And the food—wow. Our guests are still talking about it! Every dish was beautifully presented and absolutely delicious, from the appetizers to the main course. It’s rare to find wedding food that impresses so many people, but they absolutely nailed it.

If you’re looking for a venue that combines breathtaking beauty, exceptional service, and unforgettable cuisine, this is the place. We couldn’t have imagined a better setting for our wedding day.

Best Wedding Day Ever!!!!!!

I had my wedding here on April 11, 2026, and truly cannot say enough incredible things about this venue. From start to finish, the entire experience exceeded every expectation we had.

Working with Rosa and Claire was an absolute dream. They made the whole process feel seamless, organized, and honestly fun. Every detail was handled with so much care and intention, and it was clear the entire time that Rosa genuinely wanted our wedding to reflect exactly what we envisioned. That level of thoughtfulness made all the difference.

The venue itself is stunning. It has such a natural beauty that doesn’t need much added to it, and it created the perfect atmosphere for our day. The food was outstanding, something our guests are still talking about, and every single staff member we interacted with was warm, attentive, and so kind.

One of the most special parts was the location. It’s set in such a charming beach town, and all of our guests who traveled in kept commenting on how beautiful the area was. We heard over and over again how impressed everyone was with the venue, the service, and the overall experience.

If you’re even considering having your wedding here, do it. It was everything we hoped for and more, and we would choose it again in a heartbeat.
