Ocean Breeze Catering & Conference Center

afterward was wonderful. The food was fantastic and the service during the event was incredible! We cannot thank you enough for making this day memorable!

reception was in the big banquet hall. We also had a dry wedding, but people loved the hot chocolate bar on the back patio. We got the lasagna meal, and it was amazing!! All the linens were included. Everything was set up exactly the way I asked. I literally did not have one problem with Ocean Breeze the day of the wedding. It was perfect! You do have to get people'e information to get on the Mayport base, but we didn't have any problems with people not being able to get on base. The reception room including tables, chairs, and linens was $800. The ceremony under the gazebo with white chairs was $200. Having the lasagna meal served for 128 people was $2,220, including tip and tax, and including the hot chocolate bar for 100 people. We had to hire a gate guard for 2 hours, which was $60. I would like to think we got the best deal in town for the great quality that we got!

things fell through the cracks. Also (just keep that in mind for larger weddings) the majority of our guests were civilian, so we had a ton of info to collect for the gate. And definitely get your own speakers, etc. All-in-all my wedding went nicely, but not without several small hitches.

y gave 4 stars because I heard after the wedding that the bartender was a bit rude and very slow. Had I had known during the night I'm sure if I asked Ron to shut down the other bar with just beer and wine, and put that bartender with the other girl, he would have done so and everything would have been perfect!!

they really made my reception look like the fairytale I've always dreamed of!

it definitely effects them! 2) We had asked for the space heaters outside to be turned on during cocktail hour so our guests wouldn't be too cold . Only one was ever turned on so all our guests went inside the reception hall to stay warm (which kind of killed the whole grand entrance decoration surprise)! 3) We had a couple rules for liquor in our contract (no shots being the most important) and when the bartenders were asked for shots they responded with "The bride and groom don't want anyone to have shots at the wedding but we can give you a single or double on the rocks.".....which is either one or two shots with ice. I feel like that was pretty sketchy. They knew what was in the contract and they played with words to get their tips. Regardless, we had an amazing time at both the ceremony and the reception. We love Libby and Chef Ron! They were very helpful throughout the whole wedding planning process. They were honest about experiences they previously had with vendors and that meant a lot to us.

e time. Sometimes it took too long for a response, but our requests/questions eventually got answered. 4 stars for the service + venue + price! Couldnt beat it anywhere! They accomodated all our changes along the way to help it work out.

my questions. Would definatly tell my friends to do it here. Also- the total cost was WELL under 5,000! WONDERFUL!

verything else went smoothly. All the tables (ie: gift, cake, dj, etc) were set up for us, they put out our centerpieces (which I created), our place settings and our guest party favors without hesitation or complaints. I really appreciate everything that Libby and Rachael did for our special day!

aps the Government facility should have either a template of what exactly they expect from their client or not accept non Military paying customers. Getting on base for most was fine. The food was good. The cost of Alcohol and linens were high however THE GOOD. It was convenient and you paid for it and they accomodated for what we requested within their means. An employee was accused of taking a camera and I never knew about it or was talked to about it by the employee Manager after the Wedding event. The police were called but my Family and Husband kept me away from the drama. The camera later showed up in a place that was said to have been searched before. I am told by guests that they had a good time and so did I, Fantastic actually and it is a long walk to beach for a beach ceremony. So with that be prepared with questions before hand if this is your first Wedding. Otherwise they were generally polite and pleasant to guests as well as the paying Groom and myself the Bride. For the cost overall, you may want to double check around. It all just depends on what you want. We certainly enjoyed the evening just not the process of dealing with them before hand. Rachel is the assistant and was very pleasant that evening if she had a question to us or vice verse.

ions throughout, rather just one main bar. I was assured this would be taken car of but at my reception i had four bar stations.

uring the reception (though the kids danced all night). Everything was perfect! We had a pasta buffet as our dish, it wasn't some ordinary buffet they sauted the food with the selected sauce.
