Anthony Sent on 09/11/2024Amanda was extremely wonderful in helping me in surprising my wife in renewing our wedding vows. The wife had No clue on what was about to happen.
I had wanted to surprise my wife with renewing our wedding vows. I reserved a Tiki Hut Boat cruise and then searched for someone to perform the wedding. After several failed attempts on acquiring someone, finally a very warm voice came across the phone explaining her upmost interest on helping me to surprise my wife with a wedding on a Sunset Boat Cruise in Panama City Beach. Amanda Nichols was amazing to put up all the phone calls back & forth, because there were several times the wife caught me sneaking to call Amanda and I had to hang-up on Amanda,… She just laughed and said ya having a hard time keeping this a secret aren’t ya,…. lol We wore our matching Orange UT Jersey Shirts & Black Shorts,.. Amanda wore her Alabama Jersey Shirt,… We boarded the Tiki Hut Boat, I introduced my wife to Amanda (which I just met myself) as my long lost friend to share the Evening Sunset Boat Cruise with,… Then Capt John stopped the boat about an hour away from the shore and then Captain John & Amanda looked at me and said “It’s Time”,… The wife was like “Time For What”,… We Had An Amazing & Wonderful Sunset Wedding on An Awesome Tiki Hut Boat,….
Thank Ya Amanda,… 😎😃🫶

It was just awesome!!!
Planning a wedding is a hard task, especially like in our case we had just a month. In that time we decided to have it on the beach. We had an amazing and beautiful celebration. We didn’t have many people, just our closest friends. We had a few issues that were raised the day before the wedding, but Amanda resolved everything easy and fast, so I didn’t have time to be stressful)))) I highly recommend this guys for your wedding and they will make it special for you! -

Latasha Sent on 05/26/2021Beach Wedding in 30 days
The most perfect day in every way!! It went from 20 guests to 40 and a wedding party with a lot imperfections but those are what made my day even more amazing! My mom surprised me with a dove release and they dealt with her well and I had no idea until they were released. My advice to brides is let the day fall as it may and enjoy every small detail from traffic, late to my own dinner but my husband met Upchurch and he came to the dinner party level we were on to just the absolute best day ever!!! -

Abby Sent on 09/01/2020The most amazing wedding coordinating team ever!!
There aren’t enough words to express how grateful and blessed we were to have had Jaime as our wedding coordinator for the day of our wedding. Jaime went above and beyond our expectations and truly saved the day on our wedding day. She did such an amazing job handling all our vendors and having our reception area decorated beautifully and ready to go as we were all scrambling like chickens without a head because of bad weather. Jaime got everything done for us and our wedding was perfect all because of her! Thank you so much Jaime! I would recommend Beach Beginnings Weddings to anyone planning a wedding in Panama City Beach, Florida. They make sure they take care of their brides from beginning to end and go above and beyond to help their brides along the way! -

This was truly a wonderful experience. Amanda listened to everything we needed, feared and wanted. She helped us the whole way and made so many adjustments as our minds changed along the way. She made it possible for us to have the wedding my daughter always dreamed of but couldn’t have normally afforded. We prayed for God to send us someone to help us and He did. Honestly, I don’t believe we could have done it without her. And her husband was a big help with a great personality too! I would recommend beach beginnings to anyone! -

Angie Sent on 11/17/2019From the very first email I knew Amanda was the officiant for us.
Amanda was efficient, thorough, flexible and kind. She made us feel completely comfortable and confident in our decision to have her officiate our wedding. She met us 2 days prior to the ceremony to look at location options so that we would have the perfect spot for our special day. She made us feel loved and important, like a friend was with us on our wedding day. She also filed our marriage license immediately and we received our certified copies from the county one week after the wedding. Her photographers are also incredible! Our photos are gorgeous and will be cherished forever. If you want someone to take care of every detail and make your wedding day stress free, use Beach Beginnings. -

As a person who needs to be in control, having a destination wedding, leaving the details to someone else, was a challenge for me. Yet it turned out completely great. I didn't have to worry about anything (except the weather and that was fantastic too). I definitely recommend Beach Beginnings for all wedding needs, whether an intimate setting or full size. Great communication, the photographer was great and great for the budget! -

Jessica Sent on 08/19/2019Amazing beach wedding experience
My husband and I wanted a simple beach ceremony with our two kids. Traveling from out of the state on our family vacation to Panama City Beach, we weren't sure where to have the ceremony, what photographer to use, etc,. After talking to Amanda from Beach Beginnings, we were at ease. She helped us decide on the perfect package for us, helped us find a nice quiet beach and was even willing to wait to finalize everything until we could see which date during the week would have the best weather. Our wedding was so relaxed and our family has amazing memories to share. -

A beach wedding with 130 guests??? Was I out of my mind??? I knew I needed help, and Beach Beginnings didn't bat an eye at the task. It was extremely easy to communicate with Amanda and her team. From the big details like the caterer, beach alter, etc down to the little details like helpful signs were all taken care of - I didn't have to worry about a thing. Overall a great experience and a day my husband and I - and all our friends and family - will never forget! -

Travis Sent on 05/31/2019Personable and professional service
Amanda was recommended to me by Genese Hatcher who owns the Little Mermaid Properties in Panama City Beach, Florida. Since my wife and I live in MI but were having the wedding in Panama City Beach, FL we were worried it was going to be difficult to pick out all the decorations and setup of the tables and chairs and wedding arbor.
But after the first phone call with Amanda all our worries went away as she was able to send us pictures through email and cell to show us decoration samples. After giving Amanda our wedding colors and idea of how we wanted the wedding on the beach to be setup she went right to work.
She constantly kept us updated via text and also went out to the property that we were going to get married at which was the MISS ASHLEE’S OLEANDER RETREAT SIDE B- part of the little mermaid properties to estimate how many tables and chairs and where stuff would fit for us.
As my wife and I picked this destination wedding without actually being to that location before at all. With Amanda's help everything was great. They setup all the chairs and tables and wedding arbor and took it all down the same day.
Def recommend her services to set your wedding up :).

Exactly how we wanted
Everything was set up exactly how we wanted. From the moment I contacted beach beginnings Amanda was very personal in making our day perfect. I would send pics of ideas and she responded with pics of her own. They were very easy to reach and plan with. The day of the wedding the wind was horrible but beach beginnings still got it set up exactly how we wanted. Island girl photography captured great pics of the ceremony and of us by the sea.
Thanks again -

Shannon Sent on 03/26/2019Dream wedding on a dream budget!
Both Amanda and Teresa were amazing to work with. We were able to meet on short notice, get all of our plans laid out months in advance and never worry about anything other than our clothing. Despite having some family emergencies with her team, Amanda was 100% on her game and personally made sure everything was taken care of. It was perfect! I would recommend every wedding be exactly as ours, even though we did choose to do it during spring break (could have changed that, but it was our decision for schedules sake). They tailored everything to us and made sure that we were taken care of. God has sent us a blessing with these ladies, and the Dillards will be eternally thankful. -
