“The communication with Ashore Resort & Beach Club was good, but the quality of their work and overall value was beautiful. They helped make our wedding day special by providing an on-site ice cream bar that we didn't need to find a separate vendor for. However, they did not have chairs for our outdoor ceremony due to the wind earlier that morning, which caused a bit of guests complaining about having to stand during the 15 minute ceremony. Our guests had said that they didn’t see why they couldn’t have set up the chairs as they walked out since the wind wasn’t blowing before the ceremony started.”

“From the moment we walked into The Golden Sands, we knew it was the right place for our wedding. The venue itself is absolutely stunning—the elegant space of the Atrium Room and Bridal Suite, and beautiful outdoor beach area gave us the perfect setting for our entire wedding day. Autumn, the event coordinator, was fantastic to work with throughout the planning process. She maintained open communication during the months, weeks, and days leading up to the wedding, asked thoughtful questions at just the right times, communicated with our vendors to make sure everything was in order, and added creative touches to the decor we provided, making everything feel personal and special. The day could not have run smoothly without her! The entire team at the Golden Sands communicated with us consistently and promptly, keeping us informed every step of the way. The day of the wedding, extra hands appeared to help set up the outdoor arbor, perfect bouquets, and transition everyone at the right time. We couldn't have asked for a better venue or a smoother wedding day, and we're so grateful to everyone at The Golden Sands for helping us celebrate with our family and friends.”
