Beachside Wedding

Me and my husband enjoyed the whole process that Tammy, our Wedding Coordinator, gave us. She was very tentative and detailed with her planning. I love how she made the whole experience personal and she fit right in with my family. We love her and our family loved the whole Villas by the Sea Resort experience!

A dreamy beach wedding

Villas by the sea was the perfect place for us to get married!! The ocean and driftwood was the perfect back drop for our ceremony. Tammy was extremely helpful, and she did everything to make sure that our day went seamlessly. I absolutely recommend this venue if you are looking for a beachy wedding!

Beautiful Dreams Brought to Life

Tammy is an awesome planner! She made everything so easy and made sure that we felt just as special for our private elopement as if we were having a full blown wedding. She provided us with a list of vendors to look into which cut out a lot of headache. The attention to detail is what makes everything so perfect. Our room view was spectacular and we were steps away from the beach.

The villas by the sea was the best wedding venue ever! What made it the best was the wedding coordinator which is Tammy Young! She is the best, we didn’t have to do anything but show up and that’s the best and most relaxing thing ever!

Best wedding venue and coordinator

Our daughter was married in Driftwood Beach at Jekyll Island. The Villas handled all the arrangements and set on the beach and in the reception room. Tammy was absolutely the best to work with. She was professional, understanding, and so helpful. She took all the stress off of us in the planning and preparing for the wedding. Everything was perfect. The reception was set up beautifully. The price was very affordable.If you are looking to get married at Jekyll Island, you must use Villas by the Sea and Tammy. You will be so glad you did!
