Perfect Beach Wedding
Mike and Cheryl were amazing to work with and made the planning process so easy and stress free. They are so friendly, professional and were responsive to all of our questions throughout the planning process. Both Mike and Cheryl, along with the rest of the staff at WOW truly went above and beyond to make our wedding day perfect! Cheryl and Harley took care of us all night and made sure every need was met and that we always had a drink in our hand.
We were so impressed with the food options, particularly for the cocktail hour, and loved how flexible Mike and the WOW team were in allowing us to customize our wedding day menu. We were a little nervous since you don’t get a tasting but all of the food was amazing!! In particular our guests raved about the raw bar at cocktail hour, the filet mignon at dinner, and the pork roll egg and cheese sandwiches at the end of the night.
They also offer a 15-minute private cocktail hour for the bride and groom after the ceremony with a bottle of champagne as well all of the cocktail hour food in the private bridal suite which overlooks the beach and ocean. My husband and I really enjoyed this as it gave us the chance for a quiet moment together to soak in excitement of our wedding day, and we actually got a chance to eat before we greeted all of our guests who were enjoying cocktail hour overlooking the beach.
I can not recommend WOW enough and hope we get to go back as guests one day!
The best day of our lives!
They were with us every step of the way throughout the planning process and always made us feel at ease. Always available to answer any questions we had and truly made us so excited from the day we chose the venue.
While the beautiful weather added to the most amazing day, our guests cannot stop talking about how incredible everything was. From the venue itself which is absolutely breathtaking, the endless amount of delicious food and constant flow of drinks(!), they tell us they will never forget our wedding day.
I can’t thank Mike, Cheryl and their entire team enough for the genuine care, thought and planning that went into our special day.
If you’re looking for a gorgeous beach venue with incredible views, food and amazing staff, WoW is the place!
Thank you all for everything!!!!
