Amazing Service, Amazing Staff, Amazing Experience!!!
I don't know where to start! This was the most seamless experience I have ever had with a venue and catering service. They exceeded my expectations in every way. Amanda Kemp is a dream to work with and accommodated a myriad of last-minute changes with ease and beauty. We had to move the wedding from the beach indoors for weather and what they provided was as beautiful or better, with an an amazing wedding arbor that was beautifully appointed. We just added a few of our flowers and sash to match our color theme.
The food was wonderful (I highly recommend the hushpuppies, mac & cheese balls and salmon) and I received so many compliments at the rehearsal dinner in addition to the reception.
It is such a wonderful thing to have someone who is always looking at the timing and had things like the champagne ready for toasts, the cake cut beautifully and then when we were doing the sendoff for the bride and groom, we came back upstairs to find all of our decorations neatly collected for us so we just had to box them up and leave.
I was in the catering business for some years, and this experience is everything I would have expected but better. The staff was courteous and friendly and attentive to all of the requests made. I can't say enough! Amanda, you are amazing!
My opinion is that if you are looking to do everything at the beach (rehearsal dinner, wedding ceremony and reception), this is a one-stop shop!!! You will be guaranteed quality and excellence at every step.-

Great venue and coordinator for our special day!!
We had a dream of having a small beach wedding and we got exactly what we wanted and more. The venue is absolutely beautiful. The beach ceremony was perfect. We had some concerns about the high tide and the sun was blinding me during the ceremony BUT it all worked out perfectly. Amanda was amazing with coordinating everything, and even helped with getting our outside decorations set up. The food and open bar were amazing and the venue staff were phenomenal!! Would highly recommend to anyone looking to have a beach wedding!! This was the perfect venue for our special day!! -

Best EVER venue
Our entire experience having our wedding here was nothing short of perfection. Amanda and her staff were always available and made sure that our wedding was exactly what we dreamed of. The venue itself is the perfect setting for a beach wedding and the food was top-notch! I am so thankful for Amanda and everyone on her staff! -

Wonderful experience!!
We had a wonderful experience with Coastal Events and Occasions. First off, Amanda was amazing, she is so good at what she does and everything went so smoothly! She responded to me quickly and at any hour and put any stress or worry at ease. The venue was beautiful, the food was delicious, and the servers were very nice and prompt. Everyone enjoyed themselves and told us what a fun time they had and boasted about the food and service! Thank you so much for making our day incredible! A huge thank you to Amanda, you are the best!! -

Wedding April 20
Amanda was amazing for my wedding. She helped me with everything. I would recommend Amanda and the wedding venue. I couldn’t have asks for anything better. The only thing I would have changed is asking for water and more appetizers for my wedding party and myself. I never got to try the appetizers and by the time we were introduced the appetizers were already gone. My wedding was amazing. -

Excellent venue
I would definitely recommend this venue. Our wedding was a destination wedding. I found the venue on the wedding wire. From start to finish Amanda was able to answer all of our questions and concerns. It didn’t matter what time of day she was always very responsive. This helped a lot since we never viewed the venue. The pics online were accurate. The staff was professional and kind.
The day of our wedding was the first time we actually saw the venue in person. It was everything that we wanted. The food was great although we didn’t get to eat all of it because of activities throughout the reception. We have no complaints. If you are looking for an affordable budget friendly option. -

Fantastic Venue coupled with an "even better" Event Coordinator
I can honestly not say enough good things about my experience with CEO. Let's start with the fact that the venue is lovely and the beach is beautiful. However, you can get those things up and down the NC coast. What the differentiator here is the team you work with. Spearheaded by Amanda, the lead-in to the event could not have gone more smoothly. I connected her to vendors but more so, Amanda gave me options for my needs at every turn and they were all GREAT. Fast forward to the rehearsal and the event - both went off without a hitch and that was due to the hard work by Amanda and her team. THANK YOU for doing everything you did to make this the most special day! We loved it. For those reading this review, I recommend CEO without reservation but the "secret sauce" is hiring Amanda. Go for it! -
