Our wedding at the Beach Club was nothing short of perfect! Working with Cari over the past year was an absolute pleasure—she was not only attentive to every detail but went above and beyond to ensure everything ran smoothly on the big day. The entire event team was exceptional, providing outstanding service and being incredibly attentive to our needs. When I sprained my ankle during the Cupid Shuffle, the manager was right there with a bag of ice, and the bartender immediately offered water. We highly recommend hosting your wedding here—it truly exceeded our expectations!

Looking for a beach wedding? You found your spot!
The Beach Club was magical, from the views to the amenities to the food to the people. As soon as we pulled up to this beautiful property, we knew it would be our venue, and Cari helped seal the deal. She was a delight to work with over the past year and a half! She went above and beyond – talking to a couple of family members when they had questions (removing us as the middleman). Her response time was impeccable. She remembered more about the wedding day details than my planner. She even played a little bit as a photographer on our wedding day—the best.
Every person we interacted with at The Beach Club was as amazing as Cari. Each one of them added value to our big day and stay. Johnny, in particular, was always there with a smile, ready to help. He printed off speeches for us at the last minute and was a familiar face we could always say hi to around the property. Shout out to Pam and Amber, too! The team's dedication and friendliness made our stay even more enjoyable.
The people are a joy. The venue is beautiful. And don't even get me started on our food tasting and the food in general. DELICIOUS and such a fantastic experience! People at your reception will be satisfied and not leave hungry.
If you're considering The Beach Club as your venue, I can confidently tell you that you won't be worried with this team by your side and will have the most magical, beautiful wedding day!

Thank you so much and I wish you all the happiness in the world and hope to see you again in the future!

Everything was excellent. The food was amazing! The venue was beautiful while maintaining atmospheric esthetics. Our wedding coordinator (Ms. Cari) went over and beyond to make sure our wedding went great and as I envisioned. Her professionalism along with staff made us feel as a priority and appreciated.

If you are looking for a beach wedding, The Beach Club Resort is your place to make your dream come to life. The ceremony on the beach and the reception in the veranda (overlooking the main pool) was beautiful! The food was also extremely delicious. The Beach Club’s wedding coordinator, Cari, is the absolute sweetest and easiest person to work with! I never had to worry about anything leading up to the day of or on the day of. She had everything so beautiful! I highly recommend The Beach Club as your destination.

Cari and team at The Beach Club were delightful to work with for our destination wedding. From email planning correspondence to site visits to suggestions to the final event planning, they were on point with providing a thorough and seamless experience! Cari was extremely responsive to any questions and guidance we needed and offered several layers of options to the answers. We had a few "off script" requests that weren't on their standard menus or offerings, and the team accommodated everything with ease and creative response! Our wedding guests raved about the food and drink options and all wanted more! Several of our guests even noted about booking another trip soon due to the wonderful experience at The Beach Club. Our wedding was extra special because of Cari and her team.
As for The Beach Club properties, we enjoyed every minute on the grounds. Our cottage was amazing and perfect as the host house for our guests to visit during their stay. The Spa was awesome and very accommodating to last minute bookings. The restaurants were fantastic offering a great selection of food options. The maintenance team was responsive and kind. The security was thorough and made for a sense of comfort.
We were on property for a full week (7 days, 6 nights) and enjoyed every minute of it. The Spectrum Resorts app made everything very easy to access and explained everything we needed to know.
Honestly, 5 stars is not enough for the wonderful experience we had at The Beach Club. Our entire wedding party and guests agree that it's one of the best accommodations for a venue that encompasses all factors of any event. The best part is how happy the bride and groom (my daughter and now husband) was about everything! They loved everything and we all can't wait to go back!! Special thanks to Cari and staff for a wonderful experience all around!!

Getting married at the Beach Club was the best decision we could have made. Working with Cari and her staff made our day seamless. She was accommodating and welcoming to our large party. The food was some of the best "wedding food" I have ever had, and Cari and the chef came up with a personalized menu to cater to all of our needs (we highly recommend the blackened Mahi Mahi!). She asissted in the planning during the months leading up to the wedding and on the day of, and always made herself available to answer any questions I had. She offered innovative ideas and worked with me on making my vision come to life. The Beach Club is a stunning venue with gorgeous views and amenities. My husband and I also took advantage of their onsite spa and got massages a few days before we said I Do! I couldn't recommend this resort enough, and Cari is sure to help make your wedding day dreams come true!

Such an incredible experience! Everyone at the Beach Club was truly a delight to work with! We spent the weekend there as did many of our guests - it’s a beautiful place with lots of amenities and well-maintained grounds. The beach wedding was perfect! The Coast Restaurant is beautiful and was perfect for the reception. Our guests kept telling us that the food was “the best food we’ve ever had at a wedding!” The Mahi Mahi was perfect, Shrimp & Grits were amazing - everything was served and tended to with care. Bartenders were awesome! Cari is amazing and helped us with all the details from start to finish. It was truly a dream-come-true wedding experience!

Cari Blanton was Top Notch in every way. From one year before the wedding when we reserved the Beach Club for the wedding until the day after the wedding everything was seamless and we couldn’t be happier. She listened and took care of any concern and paid special attention to the biggest to the smallest detail. We appreciate everything the Beach Club Staff did to make this wedding the BEST!!

The Beach Club was fantastic both as a venue and a partner to work with for the Rehearsal Dinner and Wedding Ceremony/Reception. The facilities were so nice and updated with beautiful views of the beach and gulf. The food and drinks were top notch, and the staff was so accommodating. Cari became part of our family, and I truly appreciate all of the effort they made to make the Rehearsal Dinner and Wedding Reception such a memorable and fun occasion !!!

Beach Club was the perfect venue for our destination beach wedding. Cari Blanton was absolutely amazing. She made the entire process very easy from start to finish. Even when circumstances came up that were outside of her control during the planning process she handled it extremely professionally and did everything she possibly could to make our day perfect. Cari was extremely easy to work with and helped to accommodate us numerous times to make our wedding vision come true. Beach Club was extremely flexible overall in incorporating different ideas we had. It was a perfect venue for keeping the rehearsal dinner, ceremony and reception all on site which made things extremely easy for our guests! The food at both the rehearsal dinner and the reception were great. Having tables, chairs, catering in house made planning much easier as well. The Coast restaurant was absolutely gorgeous as is so we were able to save and not overdo on florals and other decorations. I would not change a single thing about our day it was great thanks to Beach Club and Cari!!

This was exactly my wedding venue I have envisioned my whole life! Everyone that works there was wonderful! The spa did a good job on my hair but wouldn't recommend for makeup, manicures or pedicures. I got married on the veranda with a reception poolside and it was beautiful.

absolutely loved this place! it was so beautiful, the staff is wonderful and will help with any of your needs. they helped customize my wedding for me since i had a mixed vietnamese and american wedding. we rented a huge 5-bedroom room for our wedding party so we partied way into the night without having to leave. the only reason i didn't give it 5 stars was because of the drive (of course this is given with a wedding not located at home). in addition, my husband and i didn't get ANY of our wedding cake (except the tiny first bite we took for the cake cutting). the staff was supposed to save it for us...don't really know what happened. overall, i would recommend this place to anyone. it makes for great pictures and is very relaxing.

The Beach Club was the most beautiful setting for our ceremony! However, our pool deck reception was not all of what it was supposed to be. The palm trees surrounding the pool deck were supposed to have white lights around them, only two had white lights wrapped around them. Big dissapointment, for it was the main reason for booking the site. So, they brought out their own candles, when I already had lanterns lit. This took away from the centerpieces. Also, I was told they would have someone to serve the cake, instead our guest had to wait for someone to do so.
