Our wedding at this venue was absolutely stunning, and the food was incredible! The space itself is breathtaking, and our guests raved about the meal. That said, we did encounter several issues during the planning process and on the wedding day that were disappointing given the price point and expectations we had. When we first toured, we were told that the venue staff would handle all setup and teardown, that all we needed to do was drop off our décor on Friday and everything would be taken care of. Unfortunately, that wasn’t the case. We ended up hiring a day-of coordinator to handle décor since we didn’t want to rely on family or friends (especially with it being a destination for most guests). The venue staff did take care of the clean up which was greatly appreciated. We also ran into a menu issue. Our original plan included the shrimp and crab bisque, but after adjusting our menu to meet the 20,000 food and beverage minimum, we added a salad course. The venue mistakenly removed the soup entirely, even though we paid the additional fee for the salads to be added, not replaced. On the wedding day, I arrived at 9 a.m. and there were no event staff on-site. I didn’t see the venue coordinator until nearly 1:30 p.m. No one was available to answer questions, help with extension cords, or direct vendors until around 10:30 a.m. The groom’s lounge was also not set up or cleaned when the guys arrived, and it took several attempts and multiple staff members before beers were finally delivered. On a positive note, the bridal suite was beautiful and spacious, plenty of room for myself, my mom, four bridesmaids, and our hair and makeup team. The mimosas and water waiting for us were such a thoughtful touch. We also felt rushed at the end of the evening. Our contract stated that we had the venue until 9 p.m., but staff began acting as though we needed to be cleared out right at 9. They were noticeably impatient as we wrapped up, paid our bar tab, and said goodbye to our guests. It made what should have been a sweet, celebratory end to the night feel hurried and stressful. One of the biggest disappointments, however, was the Drumstick ice cream cones we ordered to be passed out after dinner. They held special meaning for us, as they were my husband’s late uncle’s favorite dessert. Instead of being passed around as planned, they were left out near the cake table, and they weren’t even actual Drumsticks, but a different brand entirely. Because of this, he was unable to make a toast and honor his favorite uncle, which was extremely disappointing. Overall, the venue is truly beautiful and the food was top-notch, but communication and day-of execution fell short of expectations. With more attentive coordination, clearer communication, and better end-of-night management, this venue could easily deliver a flawless experience.

Hy 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. 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.
Beautiful venue!

This was such a stunning venue, it was exactly what we wanted! The rain on our day cleared up just in time for our beautiful ceremony. Great food selections as well. There were a few issues on our day with things not being ready on time, but apart from that we had a great experience.
