Absolutely the Best

Where do I even begin.. I cannot say enough good things about this venue. I wanted a destination beach wedding, but due to many family members not being able to fly overseas, I decided to look at beach venues more local. I came across the Sea Shell Resort and Beach Club on The Knot and instantly fell in love. It offered that “destination” feel without the plane ride. Within a week,I had my tour, but I knew I was booking the second we pulled in the parking lot. The venue is family owned, and everyone was beyond welcoming. The owners two daughters were my wedding planners and they were amazing! The amount of questions I texted them with all hours of the week were always answered quickly and throughly. Their mom was there on my wedding day and helped me get my sandals on and helped adjust my dress. An absolute sweetheart. My wedding was Oct 8, 2023. My guests are still raving about the venue and the food! Many have said it was the nicest wedding they have ever been to. The menu was UNREAL. The seafood was fresh and plentiful. There was so much to pick from, and the way it was displayed was gorgeous! The open bar was top shelf- with delicious frozen beach drinks. Our oceanfront room was free the night of our wedding, and we came back to a chilled bottle of champagne waiting for us as well as tons of leftovers from both cocktail hour and dinner. My planners, Jaimee and Brittany, handled everything. Welcoming my vendors, setting up decorations, packing up all the decor at the end of the night, and making sure all our gifts were safely stored. The venue itself was gorgeous- from the palm trees, to the private beach, the heated pool and fire pits, it was a tropical slice of paradise. The day was perfect - if I could do it all over again, I’d rebook the same venue. They made me feel like family and we will definitely be returning for our anniversaries. If you are wanting a beach wedding, the best decision you’ll make is booking here. Thanks so much Sea Shell- you made my wedding day spectacular and one I’ll never forget.

The Best Day Ever!

We had our wedding at the Shell on 10/01/23 and it was amazing! Brittany & Jaimee make the experience a breeze. When we first met Brittany & Jaimee it was the first venue we saw, we knew we loved it from the location to the hospitality. We had lunch on site to think about it and the first bite of food sealed the deal! We called Brittany over and booked on the spot.

From day 1 to the end everything was so smooth since Brittany & Jaimee are your wedding planners. In fact I walked in 2 hours before the wedding and said “are you sure I’m not supposed to be doing anything”? It felt TOO easy!

Our wedding completed without a single hiccup and in fact, 3 weeks later we are still getting compliments from the venue to the food.

We are confident in saying we could not have chose a better venue to celebrate our big day. We’re truly saddened it’s over because The Shell helped make our big day, the best day ever.

We stayed over a few extra nights and it was so relaxing! We highly recommend using the Oceanfront room to get ready in and to enjoy a couple days after.

The Most Fun, Beautiful Venue Around!!!

Our wedding day at the Shell was truly the best day of our lives. We got married this April and we honestly could not have had more fun on our big day. Jaimee and Brittany were amazing, guiding us through every step of the way and helping SO much with every little question and concern!!! We did not have a single worry that everything would go smoothly because of how experienced, organized, passionate and thoughtful they are as planners! I also can never thank them both enough for how committed they were to helping us have our dream ceremony on the beach, despite a pretty awful weather forecast!!! Jaimee and Brittany knew how much it meant to us to get married in the sand and advocated so strongly to switch our ceremony at the VERY last minute to be outside, and it was just perfect. I am SO thankful to the entire Sea Shell team for their flexibility and hard work to make that happen at the very last second! Our whole wedding day was incredible thanks to the Shell. Our ceremony was beautiful, cocktail hour was so much fun on the patio, the open bar was awesome, and our reception was truly special. Everyone had the best time! The food was incredible the entire night - all our guests were raving about both cocktail hour and dinner and we still get comments about it being the best wedding food our friends and family have ever had! I as the bride must have rudely run off from at least five conversations during cocktail hour to get more blackened scallops because they might be the best thing I've ever tasted :) The Shell staff were so friendly and helpful and wonderful in every way and I still don't think we've stopped smiling from that day. Getting married at the Shell was the best decision we could have made!!!
