The team at Watercolor is absolutely phenomenal. They could have planned and conducted our wedding with their eyes closed. Cheryl Walton is amazing and made sure we were comfortable with every aspect. She is a true professional and helped everything turn out perfectly!

WaterColor was the perfect venue for us at our home away from home. Cheryl and her team walked us through each and every step handling everything from arranging vendors to dropping off a card for my soon-to-be husband the day of our wedding.

As we planned the wedding I provided pictures or talked through ideas that I had, but I trusted that they would gather all of that and create the vision of what we were looking for on our wedding day. Prior to the wedding I walked into the BoatHouse and was so happy I couldn't believe it. WaterColor captured everything that I wanted, and made it even more perfect that I could have imagined.

Cheryl, the vendors she helped us choose, and the rest of the team made our wedding day more perfect that I ever thought that it would be. There is not a single aspect that I sit back and think if I could have changed it I would. Our guests raved about the setting, the service, the food, etc. Fish Out of Water is one of our favorite places on 30A, and the food served at our wedding was just as good for over 80 people as it is when they serve 2 at a table. Each table was served all at one time, with someone explaining exactly what they were being served for the evening.

We stayed at the Inn the night of our wedding, and the following night. The excellent service and welcoming people continued right until the moment we left in our car. I can not say enough about the outstanding weekend that WaterColor provided us and the memories we will hold forever.

We got married April 18th, 2015 and it was absolutely PERFECT thanks to Joseph Lanzy and the incredible team at Watercolors. We also had our rehearsal dinner at Fish Out of Water and it was perfect! Our guests said it was the best wedding food they had ever had and the best wedding they had been to. Working with Joseph was amazing throughout the entire process and the day of he was on top of every detail and made it so we (bride and groom) could enjoy our day! It was an absolutely incredible weekend and it was all because of Joseph and his team! It made planning a destination wedding seamless and easy. I highly recommend this venue and Joseph to anyone getting married in the area! It is the BEST place to get married on 30A!!!!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.

My clients recently had a 'Platinum Wedding' at this lovely coastal resort. Joseph Lanzy was a total delight to work with and the four events we planned together turned out wonderfully. We were all very pleased with the various venues (each so beautiful in their own way), catering and overall service. I can't wait to work with them again!

This place is just magical. The weddings and events we've filmed here have truly felt that way. The charm of the town itself is enough reason to marry here. The sunken green lawn venue is one of our favorites to film as vantage points are amazing for filmmakers who want great views without being seen filming. But they also offer private, pristine beach settings for toes in sand weddings as well. The pathways and bridges winding around and between the resort make walking from one spot to another a treat for the senses. Best yet, the people who run the events here are simply amazing! If you need proof, check out any one of the many weddings we've filmed here! Contact us if you'd like us to send you the links! Cheers to this amazing venue and to the fine people who make events run perfectly every time.
