Venue considerations

  • Not wheelchair accessible
  • Not for you if you are drawn to more unconventional venues
  • No dedicated areas for getting ready
It was beautiful and amazing! They provided the decor in our colors which was nice, and I was able to send the maid of honor and my mom over to decorate the tables with our own items. They did have a strict policy of not hanging anything off the ceiling which was fine for us. We went with their all-inclusive package and Patti and Jade were very responsive to our questions, the ceremony at the beach was perfect (but HOT) and the reception ran smoothly. If I were to do it over again I would probably have everyone park at the venue and rent a party bus to take us to the beach and back, some of our older guests got confused driving in Orange Beach and were late. Can't comment on the catering, we brought our own food because my sister is a chef but they did staff our buffet line without issue. Definitely would recommend.
