Coral Sands Inn & Seaside Cottages Reviews

My wife and I got married at Coral Sands earlier this summer. We have nothing but good things to say about the venue and Brandy, the event coordinator. We first spoke to Brandy when we had only about six months before our desired wedding date. She got to work right away reserving our date, providing us with a list of her recommended vendors, and helped us communicate with those vendors as well. Brandy always responded promptly when we had questions and was very accommodating when we had special requests. The venue is beautiful. We had our ceremony right on the beach. If you choose to have your special day at Coral Sands, Brandy will do everything she can to make it perfect.

October 9th, 2021 was the most happiest day of my life. When Paul and I got engaged 5 years ago we both knew we wanted a beach wedding. Coral Sands came recommended to me by a fellow co-worker that attended a wedding there previously. So Coral Sands was the first and only place we looked at. Katie Prestwood was an absolute GEM to work with. She was professional in everything she did, even having a baby in the midst of planning. But she was back for the big day and it went off without a hitch.
ALL of our guests said it was one of the best weddings they had attended and had the most fun ever. The weather was perfect for a beach wedding and outside reception under the tent.
I highly recommend this place for a very low key and personal wedding. It fit our budget as we were both married previously and were engaged so long, we were looking for somewhere where we could just have a great party with all of our friends.
So many of our guests never knew about Coral Sands and we had almost everyone at the wedding book rooms to stay and make a great weekend of it. Some have even returned for a weekend after the wedding.
I can't say enough about Katie and her staff. Do yourself a favor and take a peek and this "Little Gem" of a place.

My wife and I got married at this resort on May 15, 2021. We could not have pick a better venue for the two of us. Starting with the coordinator Katie Prestwood, We thought she was very attenative, and helped us out with this while process. She was always available and willing to share any information and answer any questions we had. If needed, she would stay late for us. The venue was quiet and very romantic. The outside venue was perfect as far as lighting, tables and chairs, and dance floor. We could have not asked for a more perfect day and wedding! You went above and beyond for us, any couple would be pleased to have you as their coordinator and get married at your venue! From the bottom of our heart Thank you Katie for everything!

It was a great view from the gazebo and then wedding pictures on the beach. All our friends and family were able to stay there and party for the weekend.

Best team to help you with for your wedding day and amazing place!!

I can't say enough good things about our experience with having our wedding at Coral Sands! Our original wedding plans fell thru because of Covid, but I was able to find a micro wedding package (Daytona Micro Weddings run by Jennifer Juniper events....absolutely AMAZING!!!!) and one of our wedding venue options was Coral Sands. My now husband and I decided this was our top choice and we have no regrets! Such a great experience with everything! I cannot say enough great things about our "Plan B" wedding. The gazebo area where we got married was beautiful! And even though it of course rained on and off throughout the day, they made it work and the transition was so smooth and easy. Plus, we were able to stay in their honeymoon cottage the night of our wedding. It was so cute and perfect!! Thank you so much to Katie Prestwood and Coral Sands for making our special day that much more special!!

Don't even hesitate, book it now! It was the most beautiful setting and Coral Sands, especially Katie, were amazing to work with. Between the coral sand beaches, the well maintained lawn, three poster fence and the gorgeous tent it was a stunning setting. (PS we got to use the tent all weekend, Friday we used it for welcome drinks after the rehearsal dinner and Sunday we did a small breakfast in the tent as well.)
We planned our wedding in 7 months and from the moment we said yes to Coral Sands it was smooth sailing. My parents live in Ormond Beach and my husband and I live in Philadelphia so it was partially planned from a distance. Katie was responsive and anything we threw at her she made it work. Different colored chairs, long tables instead of round, a caterer that had never done a wedding before, new band, a million questions from me, no problem! She thought of things we wouldn't have thought of like a sound system for the wedding to make sure our guests could hear over the waves.
We did our wedding on the beach in front of the tent at 3:30pm, end of November as the sun was setting. (I would say do the beach it was perfection, they do have other options but why not!) Katie not only helped with the rehearsal the day before but was there to take my sandals from me before I walked down the aisle.
The tent, table, chairs and linens were all beautiful. Since it was later in the year she even got us heaters just a week out from the wedding. They were perfect for our older guests. She checked in with us the day before and the day of but was never intrusive.
Ormond beach doesn't require a permit for bonfires, just a fire ring which we got from amazon and did one on the beach after the wedding, a great ending to the prefect beach wedding/party.
Most of our out of town guests stayed in the cottages and hotel. They couldn't say enough about how accommodating the staff was. The resort looked beautiful and it was so nice to have everything in one spot.
Our guests continue to say it was the best, most beautiful and fun wedding they have ever been to. My husband and I keep saying we wish we could do the wedding day again. We will be back to Coral Sands to relive the best day of our lives.

We had our wedding at the Coral Sands and it was perfect! Katie did everything and more imaginable to make our day special! We have been going to the Coral Sands for years and we love the fact that everyone that works there is so friendly and helpful. They offered a lot of services that were included that other places we looked into charged extra making our wedding much more affordable. For example setting up the chairs on the beach and putting gift bags in our guests rooms.

Thank you Tracy (and staff) for making our day AMAZING! I married the man I love in a beautiful location. ALL of our guests kept asking how we found such a perfect location. Thank you is not enough!

The staff at Coral Sands are fantastic. Jennifer made sure my wedding weekend went off with out a hitch. Josh and José her right hand men were extremely attentive and hardworking, I couldn't have asked for a better place to hold my wedding!!

What an awesome back drop for a reception! The grounds are beautiful, parking was not an issue and the staff went over and beyond to see that all of our needs were met.

We chose Coral Sands for my daughters wedding venue, and we couldn’t have been happier. Years ago we owned a townhouse on the beach, and my daughter and I would walk at sunset. A few buildings north of us, we saw a huge tent set up right beyond the sand dune. There was a wedding going on at Coral Sands, and we could hear the music. We ended up dancing along the waters edge, and it was such a fun memory!

When it came time to Imagine her own reception venue, this was the very first one we looked at. ( & the last!) It was perfect! It overlooked the ocean, guests could stay in seaside cottages or in the hotel, and it was conveniently located directly across the street from the church. The view does not get any better than this, and the price is so affordable.

Katie, the wedding coordinator at Coral Sands, was a joy to work with. She met with us whenever we had questions or we needed to go over anything. She worked side by side with our wedding planner to help bring my daughters vision to life. There were quite a few challenges due to Covid. However, Katie always came up with great solutions. The reception could not have been more perfect, and we now have new memories of dancing the night away along the ocean. It was a great way to ring in the New Year, complete with a full moon, fireworks, and our closest family & friends. We highly recommend!
