Awarded Best of Zola
Dream Bay Resort was an absolute dream for our wedding day! From start to finish, the team was incredibly helpful, responsive, and flexible in accommodating our needs. Lana, in particular, was BEYOND amazing - she went above and beyond to ensure our vision came to life, even moving around tables and decor at the last minute due to unexpected rain. The quality of their work was picture perfect, with a beautiful beachy ambiance that wowed all of our guests. They even took the time to wipe down every single chair before the ceremony began. We got married a week ago today and every single guest has either called or texted us to rave about what a great time they had and how it was "the best wedding" they've ever been too! We couldn't have asked for a more perfect venue and highly recommend Dream Bay Resort to any couple planning their special day.
