Jason Sent on 11/04/2024A Dream Wedding Thanks to Lighthouse Sound and Rose – The Best Wedding Coordinator Ever!
If you’re looking for a wedding venue in Ocean City, this is the place to have it! Lighthouse Sounds exceeded our expectations and was very reasonably priced. Lighthouse sound not only has the best wedding venue, but they also have best wedding coordinator, Rose. She will make your big day run smoothly, and will make you feel like she’s part of your family. From the moment we began working with her, it was clear that this wasn’t just a job for Rose—she genuinely cared about making our wedding day the happiest day of our lives. We feel so lucky that she was there!
Rose’s level of care, attention to detail, and warmth was truly unmatched. She listened to every idea we had—no matter how big or small—and made them a reality. Whether it was a last-minute change, a creative suggestion, or a unique vision, Rose handled everything with grace and efficiency. She went above and beyond, making sure every single detail was perfect. She even made sure our timeline went as smoothly as possible throughout our wedding day. It was clear she had everything under control, which gave us the peace of mind to relax and enjoy every moment.
It was not just Rose either. All of their staff members were outstanding! They truly seemed like they cared about us and making the wedding the most fun and memorable it could be. They were kind, enthusiastic, professional, and attentive. I’ve never been to a wedding where all of the staff were this great! Seriously they were that fun!
The venue itself was absolutely breathtaking too. The moment we stepped in, we knew it was the perfect place for our special day. The setting was everything we dreamed of—elegant, romantic, and perfectly suited to the atmosphere we wanted to create. It was the ideal backdrop for a wedding that we’ll remember for the rest of our lives
And let’s talk about the food! We were blown away by how incredible every dish was. From the Hor’dourves to the main courses, everything was delicious and beautifully presented. And the sorbet in-between dishes was absolutely perfect. Our guests couldn’t stop raving about how great the food was either.
We are so thankful that we went with Lighthouse Sound. They definitely helped make our wedding day the best day of both of our lives!!Lighthouse Sound's reply:
Jason and Anna,
Your union was made in the stars, I'm convinced! It was an absolute delight to plan your wedding day with you both. I truly enjoyed all our conversations and loved getting in the "sandbox" with Anna to bring her inspiration and vision to life. Thank you both for trusting me and for being so flexible during the creative process. I can't wait to see ALL the pictures! The ones you’ve already posted perfectly capture how your hearts beat for one another.
Thank you so much for each part of your thoughtful review and for taking the time to recognize all the little details that made your day so PERFECT and MEMORABLE! Congratulations on the addition of your new family member, Nova... I’m sure Mango is thrilled to have a sister!
Please keep in touch and consider coming back for an anniversary dinner with your fur babies—let's capture some more new family photos!
Wishing you all the best, now and forever more!
In love and light,
Rose and your LHS Team

Ashley Sent on 01/08/2025A Stunning Venue with Exceptional Coordination by Rose
Lighthouse Sound is an absolutely stunning wedding venue that offers an unforgettable experience for couples. From the moment we first visited, we were blown away by its beauty and charm. One of the standout features is that when you book this venue, you get the entire space to yourself, which is perfect for creating an intimate and personalized celebration.
We had a larger guest list (about 200 people), and Lighthouse Sound was spacious enough to comfortably accommodate everyone. On top of that, there was ample parking, which is a major plus for any wedding day.
A huge part of what made our experience so wonderful was Rose, the event coordinator. She was incredibly sweet, welcoming, and professional. From the start, Rose made us feel at ease and really sold us on the venue with her warm personality and expertise. She made the planning process smooth and stress-free, always being there to answer questions and provide guidance.
Unfortunately, due to unforeseen family issues, we had to cancel our date. This was a difficult decision, but Rose handled everything with such grace and understanding. She made the cancellation process seamless, which we deeply appreciated during an already challenging time.
Even though we didn’t get to celebrate our wedding at Lighthouse Sound, I would wholeheartedly recommend this venue and Rose to any future brides. If you’re looking for a gorgeous location with top-notch service, Lighthouse Sound is an incredible choice! -

Rose and the venue itself were both amazing and professional! I couldn’t have pulled off my dream proposal without them! Thank you so much!!!Lighthouse Sound's reply:
Nick and Katie…CONGRATULATIONS!!! It was such a joy to be a part of planning your proposal. Nick, you thought of everything—from the photographer (Mallory Sterrett) to the videography and even the florist (Veronica). Katie was completely surprised (wink), and looked absolutely stunning for our "LHS photo shoot"! Be sure Katie shares some of her favorite photos from the event in this review! As the sun began to set, the atmosphere became truly magical. I can only imagine how breathtaking those champagne spray shots with the sunset turned out! Please reach out when you're ready to start planning the BIG DAY!!! Cheers, Rose -

This was an 2nd marriage for both of us and we were just looking for something simple yet elegant. Lighthouse Sound was the perfect choice. Everything went so smoothly, the food was great and (as always) the view was spectacular. Rose was so perfect to work with. She understood our needs & concerns big or small. The staff assigned to our day were superb! They couldn’t have been more accommodating. We enjoyed our day! Thank you!Lighthouse Sound's reply:
Ellen and Charlie,
I'm so happy you had such a beautiful day! It was rather perfect! We were happy to be a part of your celebration! You are both greatly loved by your friends and family. Cheers to your new beginning! Much love and happiness now and forever. HUGS! Rose -

Rachel Sent on 12/01/2023The Perfect Venue
My husband and I were married at Lighthouse Sound on September 8th. To say that our day was perfect would be an understatement. Here is our review…
The Space: We continue to have our guests tell us that this was the most beautiful wedding venue they have ever seen even months after our wedding. Our ceremony took place in the gazebo, cocktail hour on the patio, and reception in the tent (rented from Coastal Tented Events). All with incredible water views, cooling breezes, and great light. We were blessed with amazing weather, but also loved the indoor backup plan.
The Staff: During the planning process, we worked with incredible coordinators. Shellie and Rose were THE BEST to work with. Rose joined the team later in our planning process and we were lucky enough to have her and Shellie both as our coordinators as our wedding was Rose’s first. They were willing and excited to answer my one million questions the months leading up to the wedding. Shellie communicated with our other vendors and gave recommendations every step of the way. Their day-of coordination was SPOT ON. They made sure every decoration, floral arrangement, sign, etc. was perfect and that the entire schedule of the day ran smoothly. The wonderful bartenders and servers provided outstanding service for my husband and I and all of our guests. The drinks were great and the food was incredible. Which brings me to the food…
The Food: We loved how many options were available when selecting our menu… dinner tiers, plated or buffet style, hors d’oeuvres, and desserts. Having the catering done in house was so helpful and made our planning process easier.
The Golf: My husband loves to golf! He enjoyed playing the course on the morning of our wedding (he got one foursome for free). The pro shop was happy to help with scheduling tee times for his groomsmen and our other family members that played as well. He said this is one of his favorite courses he has ever played!
We cannot recommend Lighthouse Sound more. We had the most incredible wedding and credit so much of that to the wonderful people and experience Lighthouse Sound. We can’t wait to come back for more meals and golf next time we are in town. -

Liz Sent on 11/27/2023The best!
I am so very grateful to Lighthouse Sound for giving this bride THE BEST wedding she could’ve ever experienced. I am on the other side and I can honestly say I wouldn’t change one thing about our day. Rose (event coordinator at Lighthouse) was a delight to work with. She helped the day run smoothly and honestly was a lot of fun to be around! The views, the food, the drinks, the staff, the intentionality to every detail - it was all perfect! We knew from the moment we toured this venue it was our spot and so it was the only place we toured. LOL. You won’t regret having your special day at Lighthouse. -

Kim T. Sent on 11/06/2023Our Day Was Perfect
Everything for our wedding from planning the day to execution went perfectly. LHS is a beautiful venue that overlooks the bay. They were able to work with our requests and made sure it was everything that we wanted. All of our friends and family raved about the views and how good the food was. People are still talking about how awesome the food was! Rose who helped coordinate the day was an absolute angel. She deserves an olympic medal for all the running around she did to make sure everything went smoothly. Everyone at LHS made sure to take care of us and our friends and family. I would 1000% recommend LHS for your wedding. -

Gals, this venue is breathtaking!!! The food, INCREDIBLE! The service, EVEN BETTER!!! The price, the BEST!! Cannot say enough good things about this venue and Katie who was our venue Coordinator.

I could not have picked a better venue!!Lighthouse Sound's reply:

Minna Sent on 04/12/2021Beautiful Venue and Amazing Team!
My husband and I had such a phenomenal experience working with Lighthouse Sound as our wedding venue. We had both our ceremony and reception at Lighthouse Sound and couldn't have imagined a more perfect event. We came to Lighthouse Sound after plans fell through with our initial venue due to the pandemic. While Covid was an unwelcome surprise, we found Lighthouse Sound to be an even more perfect fit than the venue we had initially planned on. We worked with Debbi and Shellie and they were both so helpful, responsive, and all around fun to work with! We only had about 50 guests at the event because of the pandemic, but Lighthouse Sound was incredibly flexible in accommodating our party. Even though we weren't the largest group, we always felt like they valued us and were very attentive to every detail and question. Our guests loved the setting and view, in addition to the food and drinks. It was an amazing experience and I am so thankful for everything the team at Lighthouse Sound did to make our day so perfect! -

We got married at the Lighthouse Sound on 9/21/19. Lauren and the staff were phenomenal. Lauren was beyond helpful throughout the whole planning process. Whenever I had a question or concern or needed to change something, she was prompt with a response and always accommodating. She was so calm, cool and collected during the planning process and the day of, it put me at ease. The venue is beautiful, the food is always delicious and everyone had a great time! I can't put into words how happy I am to have had Lauren's help, along with the rest of the staff, and I'm so happy we chose the Lighthouse Sound for our special day! -

Jacqueline Sent on 02/05/2019Wonderful Tour!
My fiance and I went to go check out Lighthouse Sound as a potential venue. Lighthouse would be a beautiful venue and has some more affordable wedding packages if you are a bride on a budget. When my fiance and I went on a tour, everyone was extremely nice and all of our questions were answered. I would have totally picked Lighthouse Sound as a choice if my fiance and I didn't decide on a destination wedding instead! A note for brides with a smaller guest count: check this place out! I had a guest count of 20-40 people and they were more than willing to work with me! -

Breanna Sent on 01/09/2019Perfect Venue
From the moment we walked into Lighthouse Sound we knew it would the venue we would get married in. All the planning and prep that led up to our big day was made easier by Lauren, the wedding coordinator. She answered every question and went above and beyond to make sure our day was perfect and everything we could have ever hoped for. The venue has a perfect location, situated just outside of the main hustle and bustle of OCMD. The backdrop of our ceremony and our pictures left us and all of our guests in awe! As did the delicious food. We can’t wait to go back and celebrate our wedding anniversary with a wonderful dinner. -

Laura Sent on 12/01/2018The Perfect Wedding Day
My husband and I will forever be thankful for Lauren and the staff at Lighthouse Sound. Our day could not have been more perfect. Leading up to our wedding, Lauren was always responsive to my emails, and she was willing to help out in any way she could. We were an out-of-town couple (we live in California), so her help was appreciated in every step of the way. It ended up raining our wedding day, but Lauren and her staff made sure the day was executed perfectly. The staff who worked our reception treated everyone like family. It was an incredibly experience in every way. Endless thanks to Lauren and the Lighthouse Sound staff! -

Lighthouse Sound is a beautiful place to have a wedding. I highly recommend having your wedding here. When my husband and I got engaged we contacting Lauren Thorp the event Coordinator right away because we knew they book up fast and we couldn't see ourselves getting married anywhere else in the area. Lauren Thorp is absolutely amazing. She is easy to work with. She works extremely hard to make your day special. She is very organized and caring. In fact, she goes above and beyond what her job title is. If I had a concern, problem or question she got back to me right away.
When I walked into my reception everything was PERFECT!!! I have to give all the credit to Shellie, Lauren, and the staff at Lighthouse. They made my wedding the absolute best day of my Life! I was so very happy with everything. My parents who actually paid for the entire wedding were even more impressed with everything. ( My parents have been to a lot of weddings, ones that cost 300,00 dollars and they said this venue, staff, food and everything about lighthouse sound was better then any of those weddings they had been too)
The food is absolutely delicious. We decided to go with a buffet with all the eating allergies our guests had. Everyone at our wedding couldn't stop raving about the food.
My guest enjoyed my wedding very much. They must have told my parents a hundred times that this was by far the best wedding they have ever been too. These amazing reviews could not have happened without the Staff who made this day amazing. The staff at lighthouse sound are so accommodating, friendly, and fun. I love how they were always on top of everything. Food came out promptly, clearing of the plates was on point and their mannerism were perfect. Overall, my husband and I would highly recommend Lighthouse Sound. Everything was perfect. Nothing went wrong at all!! -

We cannot say enough great things about Lighthouse Sound! First of all, their venue is GORGEOUS. The water and the ocean city skyline is beautiful day and night. Second, they are a pleasure to work with. Lauren Thorp was our coordinator and she went above and beyond every expectation to make our day a success. She is such a warm and welcoming person, we felt at home with her from the very first day. Lastly, everyone at the venue was so accommodating and attentive. From the bar staff, to the waiters, to the chefs, to Lauren, everyone doted on us to make it our best day ever. You can't go wrong choosing Lighthouse Sound for your special day.
(PS- if you are worried about it feeling too much like a golf course, you won't even NOTICE. They have so many gorgeous locations for photos-- a dock on the water, a wooded area, a private beach!!! From inside the venue and from the photos, you cannot even tell it is a golf course. It just looks like a fairytale!) -

Scott Sent on 03/22/2018I can't say enough nice things about The Restaurant at Lighthouse Sound. My daughter just had her wedding there. Great "one-stop shopping": the contract included the site, set-up, the ceremony, the food, the open bar, and Lauren, our amazing wedding planner. The manager, Shellie, was sharp, too. The food was delicious. The waiters were extremely courteous and responsive. And the scenery was really, really something -- your photographer will have a lot to work with. I wish I could give 'em six stars. Superior job! Best wishes, Scott. -

Beautiful venue & amazing team
We had our wedding in September 2024 at Lighthouse Sound. From the moment we walked the grounds with Rose, we knew that this was the place we wanted to host our wedding. We opted for a tent outside and we had our ceremony service down by the marsh. This was truly a beautiful event and the entire team was organized and extremely nice. I wish we could do it all over again, it was magical!

Lighthouse Staff is tremendous
Rose and her staff were lovely, pleasant and accommodating. As a wedding band musician, I’ve worked with a lot of coordinators, none as easy going as Rose!Lighthouse Sound's reply:
Thank you so much for your kind words, Jeffrey! I’m thrilled to hear that you had a great experience working with me and the team here at Lighthouse. And the band... AMAZING!!! Not only flexible, courteous, and super professional, but truly AMAZING!!! It’s always a pleasure to collaborate with talented professionals like you and make the day run seamlessly. We had so much fun! I sincerely appreciate your feedback and look forward to the opportunity for all of us to work together again, hopefully very soon (smiles). -

Dream Wedding on the Bay
We recently had our wedding at Lighthouse and I truly don’t even know where to begin. It was beyond more than our dreams. Rose was absolutely amazing from the beginning. She made the planning and the day of seamless. We didn’t have to worry about a single thing. She was so responsive, provided guidance, so flexible to what we wanted, and we truly feel like she became a friend by the end of it. It wouldn’t have been the same without her!!
My fiance and I toured a few venues in the area and instantly knew this would be the one. The view here is effortlessly breath taking. We were able to have the dream sail cloth tent on the water that we always wanted.
The guest are still raving about the food. We had many people say it was the best food at a wedding they have ever had. They were complementing how hot, how many, and how tasty the hors d'oeuvres were served at cocktail hour and the drinks were flying around everywhere!! And the service!! The service provided to our guest throughout was just unbelievable. We truly felt every single person working our wedding was “for the guest” and they thought that as well.
I couldn’t recommend this venue enough!!
Lighthouse Sound's reply:
Sweet Marissa and Brandon,
Thank you so much for your heartfelt compliments and beautiful review! It was truly an honor to be part of such a special day in your lives. Your love and joy for each other were evident from the very first day we met. I still look at the photos you posted in awe of how perfectly everything came together. And let’s not forget how dapper your Best Boi, Boone, looked—I was so thrilled he could celebrate with you both (tears in my eyes!). Please share more pictures when you can, I can't wait to see them ALL!!!!!!
Wishing you both a lifetime filled with happiness and laughter!
Love you both and Boone too! Rose -

The perfect day!
We had such a great experience with having our ceremony & dinner at Lighthouse Sound. Every aspect of the day was perfect & truly seamless. Rose was spectacular! Her communication was stellar & she arranged the best day for us. She was there from start to finish—we didn’t have a thing to worry about. She took care of everything from creating a timeline to helping us pack up afterward. We wanted to do a very small but meaningful ceremony and she brought it to life! The food was delicious and the venue is beautiful. The guys had a great time playing golf the day before (included) & loved shopping in the pro shop after. I cannot say enough good things!
**Photos by Sterrett Photography**Lighthouse Sound's reply:
Awwwww...my heart is melting! What a beautiful day it was, and your dress...gorgeous, a perfect fit!!!! Thank you for the amazing review and for allowing me to make our conversations come to life. The intimate ceremony, the stunning photos on the course and the elegant dinner in the North Dining Room after was picture perfect! I'm so happy for the both of you! I'll post a picture of your table, the flowers really added a whimsical vibe...loved the color palette. Thank you for noticing all the love and attention!
THE BIGGEST HUG,
