Sun and Sea was amazing! I didn’t want to work with a bunch of different vendors, and Sun and Sea made that possible. They took care of decor, ceremony music, photography, location permit, etc. There are so many design choices available on their website and you have a planner who works with you each step of the way. Our planner, Josie, was amazing and our wedding was perfect!
We live in Indiana, so we booked Sun & Sea without visiting in person. The fact that they managed all the vendors made wedding planning easier than we ever imagined! They were flexible with online planning, communicative, professional, and genuinely kind. We were especially lucky to have Vicky as our wedding planner—she was fantastic from start to finish.
We booked the Celebration House for October 9, 2024, and one of the best parts of the package was having the house for our bridal party to stay with us from October 7-9. The house was stunning—spacious, spotless, and beautifully decorated.
As it turned out, Hurricane Milton was heading toward St. Augustine, with the eye projected to hit right at 4 p.m. on October 9 (our ceremony start time—of course!). Vicky called us the Sunday before our wedding and suggested moving the date to Tuesday. She had already created multiple backup plans and coordinated everything, making a last-minute change seem seamless. We hadn’t even thought moving the date would be possible with all the vendors involved, but she handled every detail with grace.
Being able to reschedule our wedding a day earlier, with every detail still perfect, was amazing. Vicky, Ben Cross Photography, and the entire Sun & Sea team are some of the hardest-working, most caring people we’ve ever met. Thank you, Sun & Sea Weddings—our wedding day was beyond perfect!
Steven and his team made our wedding PERFECT and MAGICAL at the Castillo de San Marcos in Saint Augustine! I was very nervous and anxious 2 months before our big day but Steven's patience and attention to detail gave me the assurance I needed to know that our day was in good hands. We had asked for the Spanish service for our ceremony since all our family was coming in from Puerto Rico and Steven did an incredible job with this as well. Everything went as planned and the decor was just like I wanted it. Our family and guests couldn't stop talking about how beautiful everything was. I definitely recommend Sun & Sea Weddings, especially Steven and his team (Zach, Vicky & Marie). Thank you so much for working so hard on our big day to make it turn out just as we dreamed it would be!
We are incredibly happy that we chose Sun & Sea for our coastal wedding at Jekyll Island. Steven did an extraordinary job with the ceremony, not to mention always being a phone call away when we decide to change little details to add personal touches. The ceremony was absolute breathtaking and all of his recommendations were a hit with us and our guests! Chalyse was our photographer and is so incredibly talented. When dealing with the windy weather she helped us all look our best and even ran down the beach numerous times chasing my veil. It was a pleasure to have this entire team from Sun & Sea in our corner. Also, I’d like to say for those like me that are a bit controlling of plans, this process went great with trust and communication. There isn’t a thing I would change about our wedding with them. I highly recommend any couple use their services!
Sun & Sea gave me the most perfect, stress-free, beautiful wedding!
Brides often complain about the stress of wedding planning, well with Sun & Sea all I had to do was focus on me and get to the ceremony. I picked the Now & Forever ceremony package with the circular arbor, added some chairs and it was very affordable.
Steven was AMAZING, he communicated when he needed, and otherwise took reign and got me everything I had asked for(including a beautiful bouquet).
It took maybe 4 phone calls, and my messages on the easy to use online website, and all I had to do was show up day of!
Our guests ranted and raved about how beautiful everything was set up and how smoothly it all went.
The photographer Marie did a FANTASTIC job! For a couple that's never taken professional photos before she had it all taken care of, from efficiently getting the family photos done, to our couple poses, and any tips and tricks we needed for the pictures to come out absolutely gorgeous.
She was flexible even following us to the reception for a few more photos to finish up the requested 1.5 hour.
If you want the most perfect beach wedding, choose Sun & Sea! :)
Seriously, could not recommend this team more. Everything exceeded our expectations. Steven was incredible and kind. Our DJ Wes was amazing. Everything flowed seamlessly, very efficient. We have nothing but good things to say, and they made our day unforgettable.
Absolutely went above and beyond!! No detail left behind. The ceremony is one of a kind! We chose to include the guests in our ceremony by adding the throwing of the rocks into the ocean at the end. They all made a special wish. Everyone still talks about how wonderful our ceremony was until this day. It truly was the best 🙂
If you are looking for affordable and quality - this is it! They made our day perfect and stress free in July on Driftwood Beach in Georgia! Hands down the best experience! ♥️♥️
Absolutely no regrets!!
We were so blessed and thankful to have Sun & Sea as our hosts for our wedding!! Everyone within their team was very accommodating!! The nicest group of people! 100000/10 recommend!
Working with Sun and Sea Weddings, specifically our wedding coordinator Josie, was absolutely amazing! From the point of booking our wedding to our wedding day, everything was absolutely flawless and went so smooth. We are so thankful for the entire Sun and Sea Wedding team!
Our team of Steven, Zach, Connor, Vania & DJ Shawn made sure we were taken care of in every way! Highly recommend using Sun and Sea Beach Weddings!
Sun and sea did a fantastic job helping us plan and carry out our dream wedding! Steven Romero and his team were the sweetest and most caring people. I will never forget the experience and the memories. I would definitely recommend going with sun and sea to anyone looking for that special beach wedding. Our team was Steven, Chalyse, Zach, Connor, Jake & DJ Wes. Chalyse did a phenomenal job with our photos and we got them back in less than a week! DJ Wes was the best DJ we could have gotten hands down, he was so chill and took our music playlist and made sure every song we wanted played, was played at the perfect moments. Thanks so much for everything you all did for us!
Adria & Chayce
Wedding at The Holiday Inn Resort at Jekyll Island GA.
15 June 2024
I got married 6/3 on Vilano Beach and would recommend Sun & Sea over and over. In my experience Steven was fantastic and truly brought my vision to life which was documented so clearly by Marie (photography). If you are a bride who truly does not want to lift a finger, Sun and Sea is for you.
From a recent bride...I would not recommend this company to any excited couple looking to plan their wedding. Serious lack of communication which will lead to extreme planning anxiety. Concerns will not be addressed by planners or owner. They will poorly execute what was agreed upon in your contract, then blame the couple for their inability to set up your wedding. There are lots of places in North Florida that can help you plan the wedding of your dreams and I would steer clear of Sun & Sea.
Sun & Sea Beach Weddings exceeded all our expectations for our ceremony! From start to finish, their coordination was impeccable. Maddy was an absolute gem, always responsive to any questions or concerns we had, making the entire process seamless and stress-free.
Dan, the photographer, displayed incredible professionalism and dedication throughout our “getting ready” time and our ceremony. His attention to detail and creative eye promise unforgettable photos that we eagerly await. His patience and commitment to capturing every moment ensured our day was documented with care and precision.
And Derek, the officiant, brought warmth and sincerity to our ceremony, making it truly special and memorable. His words resonated with us and our guests, adding an extra touch of magic to the occasion.
We couldn't have asked for a better team to make our wedding day perfect. Sun & Sea Beach Weddings, thank you for making our dreams come true!
Our day was fantastic from start to finish. Steven worked out all kinks prior to the date & made everything look absolutely breathtaking. We were impressed with the professionalism and how everything flowed together perfectly. Traffic on the island was an issue, so we were a bit late to the beach, but they did not make us feel rushed at all. The day was spectacular & the bride and groom were over the top at how perfect everything was. Cudo’s to Sun & Sea! Highly recommended. Thank you Steven!
Our first interactions with Sun and Sea was with Nick- he was so upbeat and responsive, it helped set the tone for the rest of the planning and wedding itself. Steven was our coordinator and did a fantastic job guiding us through the whole planning process. He offered great suggestions and the rationales behind them. Our Officiant- Vicky was endearing and helped keep things on track leading up to and through the ceremony. Zach did a wonderful job setting up for the ceremony- it looked stunning. Wes kept the mood fun and rocking out with the music throughout the wedding. Marie was a lifesaver with the photography and offering tips/pointers to my first time Maid of Honor. And last buy certainly not least- Leidy was our day-of reception coordinator. She did a great job keeping everything on track and making sure things ran smoothly. We couldn’t have asked for a better team- it turned out better than we could have hoped for!
Our planner was Josie. We wanted a simple elopement package and she delivered. We did all communicating on our wedding portal since our schedules don’t line up with normal working people. We were never out of the loop of what was going on and what was expected and when. She had a schedule all laid out for the wedding day which I appreciated. She texted me the morning of my wedding when it was raining for our outdoor destination beach wedding assuring me we could hold off on starting of the rain was going to be stopping. Luckily at the start of the wedding it was barely sprinkling then stopped but she was reassuring that we would make it work one way or another so I wasn’t stressing. Our photographer Marie with Appleseed Photography was AMAZING and our pictures are beautiful. She had them to us digitally with all printing releases in a very timely manner. Our officiant was Derek and he was also AMAZING! Their laid back but very professional personalities made it easy to relax for photos and the ceremony but still professional enough to keep us in line. I’m glad they were the team selected for our big day even though it was a much smaller scale then they are probably use to, but for a Monday afternoon it was small and perfect to us! I appreciate EVERYTHING they all did for us and if there is a vowel renewal someday I would love to work with them again! I HIGHLY recommend this company.
Had the best experience with Josie and the crew. It was a small ceremony with a few friends and family and had zero stress. The entire process from start to finish was exceptional.
I have nothing but amazing things to say about working with Sun & Sea and all of their amazing staff and coordinators! My husband and I chose the Odd Birds package and got married next to the St. Augustine fort and every part of it was beautiful and perfect. When it comes to reviewing all of the people I worked with I have to begin with the star of the entire event our coordinator Steven Romero, otherwise known as the most amazing and kindest person you will ever work with especially since he takes everything you care about and does whatever he can to make it work into your special day. If something can't work he is honest and lets you know of other options that are just as good and sometimes even better than what you originally wanted. He was extremely helpful the whole way and answered my questions the same day every single time, even when he was on vacation he sent me a message helping me out. Next was our fantastic photographer Marie, she set up a time to call before the wedding so we could get some details sorted beforehand and both go into the day knowing what needed to be done. She was great at working with what little sunlight we had to make sure all of the most important photos were taken care of first. She even came with us on our horse carriage ride to take photos with the Christmas lights and we had a great time with her as her personality was just so friendly and welcoming. Connor and Zach, we only got to meet the day of but they helped to make sure everything was set up and that we moved to our positions at just the right moments. Our DJ Shawn was yet another wonderful person we got to work with, he made the music easy and stress-free, listened to all of our requests, and changed anything we needed just by us simply asking. He brought the best energy to the whole reception and kept our guests dancing and having fun all night. He even called before the wedding so we could talk and hammer out any last-minute details and understand the changes we were having to some of the traditional events that we decided to put a spin on. If I were to do everything over again I would still pick Sun and Sea every time, not just because of the amazing packages and services that were provided but also the people that helped to make our day the most perfect day I could have asked for.
Our wedding was absolutely beautiful!!❤️They did amazing job and were very professional! They had specialized in all the details that was a plus for me!!! My guest we so impressed with everything!!! Thank you so very much for making our a wedding day awesome!!!❤️🥰
Vicky Lobo is an absolute Angel!
She made sure our day was perfect! It could not have been a more beautiful set up! I didn’t have to worry about a thing! Vicky took care of it all! I just got to soak in the most beautiful day of my life! She even made sure to check in on us personally throughout the wedding to bring us drinks, snacks, whatever we needed!
Thank you Sun and Sea Beach Weddings!
Where do I begin, Vicky was amazing from start to finish! They handled everything flawlessly. Great communication, kind professional crew and everything turned out even better than could of imagined. A beach wedding was the dream.. Sun and Sea made that dream become a reality. Colors, flowers and decorations were spot on and so very perfect! The venue was amazing and the beautiful home allowed all of the wedding party to all be in one place and it was an amazing time spent together! Thank you all for making our special occasion so very amazing!
So when I decided to get married in Florida, living states away, I wasn’t sure what I should do. All I knew is we wanted to be married on the beach. My sister (she lives in Florida) found sun and sea. The staff were amazing, and so responsive. Steven Romero was the best! He took care of literally everything for me. The day before our wedding, I contacted him because I was so worried about the rain (it had rained everyday at the time the wedding was suppose to be). On such short notice they allowed me to change my wedding time up five hours! Our planner Steven also officiated our wedding, which was awesome, seems he is who I had with me through my entire journey! He did a beautiful job, and it couldn’t have went any better. Everything was exactly how I dreamed it would be and more. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND! If you’re thinking of booking, please do it! It’s worth every penny! Can’t wait for the photographers pictures to come back! ♥️
I cannot say enough wonderful things about Sun and Sea. Steven really came through for us on our big day! My husband and I knew that we wanted something small, but elegant. When we stumbled across Sun and Sea, it seemed like the perfect fit (and it was!). Steven handled all of the planning and I just filled in the gaps. He was communicative, efficient, and ensured that our vision was met. The decor was beautiful and the ceremony was beautifully executed. The DJ and photographer were so friendly and talented. HIGHLY recommend if you're planning a beach wedding on Jekyll.
Our experience with Sun and Sea was nothing short of extraordinary. Steven Romero is an incredibly kind and confident consultant throughout the entire process of planning and delivering an exceptional experience to our guests and us! This company makes it easy, they make it fun, and they make it affordable. Thank you team for what was the perfect wedding! A team you can trust with such a massive decision.
Do yourself a favor and go ahead and book with Sun and Sea Weddings today! Best decision we made for our destination wedding and worth every penny! We are from Nashville and did the house package in Saint Augustine. Vicky and her team were wonderful and they took care of everything and we wouldn’t of changed one thing! Also, shout out to Biscottis for our delicious food and Ben Cross for doing our photos! He was so great to work with! Thank you Sun & Sea for helping make our wedding day perfect and unforgettable !
Wow! Vicky and the team truly brought my vision to life. Our wedding was on Jekyll Island and it could not have been more perfect. From the decorations to the cake to the DJ, I could go on and on. I highly recommend hiring the Sun & Sea Beach Weddings for all of your wedding planning needs!
From the first day we called Nick and his team at Sun and Sea Weddings my fiance (now husband) and I knew we were in excellent hands! Our Coordinator was Vicky and she ensured the preparation process was stress free and that our wedding day was everything the two of us dreamt it would be, SIMPLY PHENOMENAL!
The venue I picked was Anastasia Park but the weather wasn’t letting It happen. They were absolutely amazing in working with me to make sure my special day was perfect and they were so easy to plan with. I would recommend all of my friends to use them if they want a stress free wedding. Josie was a doll to work with.
I can not say enough good things about my experience with “Sun and Sea Beach Weddings”, and specifically my wedding coordinator, Josie Ortiz. I spent literal months trying to figure out how to plan and execute my wedding and reception myself and keep things economical; eventually I realized that there was just no possible way to do it all myself (not for me and my sanity anyhow). Then I spent another eternity looking for a wedding coordinator that I could actually afford – I knew that I wanted a beach wedding, and I had already settled on Jekyll Island Beach, I also had my heart set on The Great Dunes Beach Pavilion as the perfect place for my reception. I was actually just googling “Jekyll Island Beach Wedding Photos” and stumbled across “Sun and Sea Beach Weddings” online.
They put all of the puzzle pieces together for me. They have a variety of packages available from little baby elopements to a full wedding/reception like I did; but the really great thing is that you can customize anything and everything – so it isn’t just a wedding kit that you walk into, it’s still your wedding, that you planned, and you can make it your own. I started with the “Great Dunes Package” and went from there.
Once you pay your deposit and sign your contract you are paired up with a wedding coordinator. I was paired with Josie, and she was an absolute pleasure to work with. Her calm, patient, nature made the process easy, and she significantly reduced my stress level. She always listened to all of my ideas and concerns and offered solutions based on her expertise. She and I did most of our communication via email, that was my preference, but they will work with you however you prefer. When we were working on more detailed portions of the planning process we would schedule phone meeting and talk through everything – I never felt rushed, or like “just another bride”, I always felt like my wedding was as important to Josie as it was to me. I could go on forever – but the point is that I seriously never could have navigated the wedding planning process/or survived the day of without Josie.
The package that I selected included some basic catering from Southern Soul, an hour of professional photography, a DJ, and the officiant. I told them that I preferred to work a different caterer, and that was no problem at all, they gave me a credit for the catering, and I handled all of that on my own. You can really do anything like that. For example, I decided to work with one of their photographers, Jeannie Capellan. I knew going in that I wanted a more in depth, complete, photography package than what was included in my contract, again that was no problem at all – it was easy to work with them to customize the photography package to meet my expectations. I upgraded the photo package to be the full event photography, plus an hour before hand. Jeannie was like an angel sent from heaven to help me get through the day. She was so kind and helpful – She went way above and beyond what I would have expected from any photographer, but especially from someone that I had literally never met or spoken to prior to the event. I absolutely cannot wait to see my photos – it’s only been a couple weeks since the big day so she is still working on the edits, I can’t even put into word how excited I am to see what she created.
Honestly, everyone that I interacted with from Sun and Sea was incredible. I chose to use their officiant, we are not religious so that selection wasn’t incredibly important to us, he was terrific - he had a really infectiously positive attitude, and my husband and I appreciated that about him more than he will ever know – we were especially nervous about being in front of everyone at the ceremony and he made it so comfortable and joyous for us. In addition, the DJ was perfect – everyone was on their feet dancing and having the best time! At the end of the event the tear-down crew got started as we were still lingering around – they were all pleasant as could be. The entire staff far exceeded my expectations.
I also decided to hire a videographer – we had several friends and family members that couldn’t make it, so this was an upgrade that I decided we needed. The videography was an independent contract outside of Sun and Sea. We used Roy with Stanced Media for the videography – he works with Sun and Sea all the time, so it was basically like he was part of the team – I didn’t have to tell him anything or organize anything; Josie, Roy, Jeannie, the DJ, and the officiant were like a group that shared a brain, it made everything so easy for me!
I received so many complements from my guest about how beautiful and elegant my wedding was, I even had a few people tell me that out of all the weddings they had ever attended, mine was their favorite! I feel like there is a very slippery slope with beach weddings getting tacky, Josie listened to and understood all of my concerns, and she and I worked really hard to make it perfect! I am a very particular person, and except for the weather I wouldn’t have changed a thing! If you are considering using Sun and Sea Beach Weddings, I highly recommend that you go for it.
Sun and sea were the absolute best ceremony team we could have her ask for! They assisted with making sure everything was smooth and stress-free. The decor was absolutely beautiful. I am truly grateful for your entire team!
Absolutely recommend Sun and Sea Weddings. Vicki and her team were amazing to work with. Everything was stunning!!!! From Venue (Beach House Bliss) to the set up to the decorations to the recommended caterers(Anthony’s Catering), to the make up and hair(Makeup by Paulina), to the Photographer Maria, to the DJ. What a wonderful Crew. I highly recommend using this company. Well worth every dollar we spent!!!
Being an LGBT+ couple, my husband and I, when we decided to do a destination wedding in coastal south Georgia on Jekyll Island, we weren’t sure what to expect in terms of customer service and experience when we knew we needed help with the ceremony. Well we had nothing to worry about because Sun and Sea went above and beyond! We had the most beautiful ceremony on Driftwood Beach that we could have asked for and it was all thanks to Steven and his team that helped us create memories that will last us a lifetime.
Every step of the way, Steven gave us excellent communication and was patient to answer every single one of our questions. He was clear, concise, and available at all times and let us know what we could and could not do based on our Driftwood location. We appreciated Sun and Sea giving direction and giving us the flexibility to choose options from their set packages to make the experience of picking things out from a distance more manageable. Steven even did a beautiful job officiating our ceremony and always putting us first and his team did an excellent job setting up and taking things down where we didn’t have to worry about a single thing. Even the things you can’t plan for, like the exact location on the beach for our ceremony, ended up being perfect because Steven and his team go out of their way to make the experience as elegant and meaningful as possible.
Overall, we had a great experience and we highly recommend using their services. The only feedback we would give is that Sun and Sea provides an excellent backdrop and service, but outside of what you receive from Sun and Sea, you still have to spend the time/money on those personal touches to truly make it your own experience so just keep that in mind.
Sun and Sea is a personal company with individuals who care about making your marriage a special celebration. We loved our ceremony and the script that was used. Bonya was very kind and worked very hard to make things run smoothly and seamlessly. I’m thankful I didn’t have to worry with seating and directing everyone and that my attention was on Christopher and how I was feeling in the moment. I’m thankful for Dan and his patience with us because my husband and I are goofballs on camera and know maybe two ways to pose for pictures lol. It felt like a whirlwind but in a good way because we just did what we were told and didn’t have to make decisions which is extremely nice when you’re taking in the commitment of marriage.
We are a young couple who paid for everything and we were able to have a beach wedding, with decor, planning, an officiant and photography for less than $2500. We could not find this pricing anywhere else in ST. Augustine. They make it possible for couples who really want to celebrate this milestone be able to focus on what’s important and make the day memorable for them. Thank you Steven for helping plan and for communicating with us. We appreciate everyone and can’t wait to see our pictures!
I had such a pleasant experience with Sun and Sea. From my initial booking to the day of my wedding it was always a pleasure to work with them. My ceremony was at Coastal Kitchen and they were incredibly eager to help with some of my more special requests!
My husband and I just used Sun and Sea Beach weddings for our October wedding on the beach the weekend after a hurricane!! They were great with keeping me updated on our location at Vilano Beach. The decorations and bouquet were stunning. The photographer photos were amazing and sent in the timeframe I was given. Everyone that helped before and during the wedding were very nice and helpful. I definitely recommend them for a stress free, perfect wedding!!
Sun and Sea provided us with exceptional service on our wedding day and the months leading up. We worked with Steven and we have nothing but great things to say about him. What we appreciated most with sun and sea was the option to incorporate our own vision for our wedding. They were so flexible with us choosing our colors, arch, bouquet, location, and literally everything else. They also have so many options to choose from with their designs. When we looked into vendors, everywhere else had one look and no changes could be made to it. So I really appreciated them working with us on our specific vision. Every step of the way in the planning process was seamless. The day of was beautiful! We had a very windy day on the beach and everything was super secure! It is definitely worth every penny to have sun and sea manage your wedding ceremony! I’m a very DIY person and I could have never pulled this off on my own! Reflecting back on our wedding day, I wouldn’t change a thing! Beautiful, stress free, and easy!
This is the WORST venue ever. As a bride, I have to tell you that they started cleaning up while my singer was still performing. It was 9:20pm when a woman and gentleman came and started blowing off candles, cleaning up the tables. She was RUDE and ARROGANT telling my guests it was time to leave. My contract stated we had to vacate by 11 and the party had to end by 10 yet before 9:30 with all my guests confused awaiting for cake she started cleaning not allowing me to feed my guests any cake or pass our party favors.
Furthermore, we stayed at the house and one of the members of the wedding party almost fell from the 3 floor rooftop due to an unsecured railing. When I notified the personnel, I was told “the railing was not meant to be leaned on”. Overall for a bride
This was a terrible experience. Weddings are stressful to plan as it is, the last thing I needed was this type of experience.
I have videos to prove EVERYTHING.
If you are looking at Sun and Seas Beach Weddings and wondering if you are about to be scammed, fear not! They are 100% legit and our coordinator Steven made the process super easy. The only thing we had to do was show up with our marriage license and get married. Even when Hurricane Nicole decided to show up a few days before, Steven was confident they could still get it done AND THEY DID!! We had an absolutely stunning arch on Driftwood beach that made for a day we will never forget. I promise, you will not be disappointed!
From the very beginning, the entire team at Sun & Sea was a pleasure to work with. They made the process seem seamless. They were willing to listen and willing to accommodate even the tiniest of requests.
Our intention was to do our vow renewal on the beach; however Mother Nature disagreed with our plans and sent us Hurricane Nicole. When it became evident our location was no longer an option, the team thought quickly and came up with a back up plan. And when the back up plan needed a backup plan, they were flexible and accommodating- changing designs to fit the now indoor setting but still giving us the beach feel that we so wanted. They even were open and willing to change locations up until an hour before we were scheduled to start.
Having sweet Varnia lead the way as our officiant, Dan perfectly matching the feel on his guitar, and Marie as our fun photographer made the day even more magical.
In the end, the entire team- Steven, Varnia, Marie, Maddie and Dan- were a true pleasure to work with. We highly recommend Sun and Sea to anyone planning a wedding or vow renewal.
Wedding on Ponte Vedra Beach 10/14/22 Memorable & perfect thanks to Steven Romero & staff at Sun and Sea Beach Weddings. Professionalism mixed with kindness and attention to detail were impeccable. Recommended highly!
My husband and I have nothing but compliments about the services we received. We were getting married amidst a hurricane in Ponte Vedra, FL. As we were surrounded by chaos, Steven called to check-in on us and our plans. In sorting through the commotion, Steven remained calm and professional. Buying services from someone you never met, especially wedding services made me nervous. However, I was impressed by the professionalism of Steven (planner), Vania (wedding day coordinator and officiant), Cameryn, and Marie. Everything turned out better than we could have ever expected given the little amount of time and effort it took on my end as a bride. I had expected it to be so much more complicated, but they all made the process very easy and everything was done seamlessly. I have no bad things to say here! If you’re a bride and want to save time and money, or are doing a destination wedding, but want to receive a quality product and outcome, this is for sure the way to go!
OMG!!! Where do I begin. Sun and sea did an absolute amazing job. Our wedding was everything we could have dreamed and hoped for. Vania and the team was so sweet and amazing. They did everything they could to make out day awesome. Thank you so much.
Sun & Sea Beach Wedding did an amazing job. Vicky literally made wedding planning stress free. We originally wanted to get married on the beach but Mother Nature had other plans and Vicky and her crew moved quickly and efficiently to ensure we still had an amazing wedding day. Thank you for making our wedding day memorable!!! Thank you for working with amazing group of vendors.
We would like to thank Sun and Sea for making our daughter’s wedding a most memorable occasion. We booked the Castlegate (Vilano Beach, St. Augustine, FL) wedding package so the couple’s wedding party could stay with them right on site and enjoy a five-day celebration. They had a blast!
If booking Castlegate, it’s important to know that the beach house is across the street from the beach and is located in a residential neighborhood, so there are constraints on parking, noise, outdoor music, and reception times. We were able to work around these constraints by using the public parking lot, Uber, DJ inside, and ending the reception at 10:00 P.M. The youngsters continued their celebration elsewhere, and we old folks were able to retire early. 😊
Vania and her team were responsive and accommodating and brought our daughter’s dream wedding to fruition. The bouquets, décor and florals were exceptionally gorgeous and exceeding our expectations. Thanks again, Vania and team!

Sun and Sea Beach Weddings made our wedding experience an easy and enjoyable process from start to finish. Josie was our wedding planner, and she was amazing! She was a joy to work with and she was eager to answer all our questions along the way. Sun and Sea is more than just a destination wedding company. They are the perfect choice for anyone wanting to have a spectacular beach wedding! We live locally and after several planning meetings over the phone, we had the option to come to the office and meet with Josie to go over our final wedding details. What a fantastic bonus that was. I walked away confident that our wedding was going to be just perfect! Josie and the Sun and Sea team went above and beyond for our wedding! Come wedding day, I was so calm and relaxed knowing that our special day was going to be just flawless and beautiful. When I stepped up on the beach decking and looked out to the beach, I was blown away by how beautiful the ceremony set up was. We had met one of the photographers that work with Sun and Sea and we liked her personality and her work, so I requested her for our wedding. Josie was happy to contact Marie to see if she was available on our wedding day. Josie immediately got back to me to share the great news that Marie was available. Marie was phenomenal and she made sure our wedding day was captured beautifully. We are just overjoyed with how beautiful our wedding pictures turned out. If you want a beautiful, stress-free wedding, call Sun and Sea Beach Weddings.
Absolutely wonderful to work with. Easy to contact, super friendly and very professional. They made our experience very enjoyable.
Planning a wedding on the otherside of the country seemed like an impossible task. Vicky was excellent. She talked us through every step and made the whole process simple and stress free. She took our ideas and made them reality. We can't say enough about this amazing group. We rave to everyone how beautiful our wedding was and highly recommend them.
Sun and Sea made our wedding day dreams come true! Steven, Robin, Erienne, Maddy, & photographer Jeannie made the event so smooth - it was like a fairy tale…and better! We planned our wedding on Jekyll Island from Ohio. It was held outside in the Courtyard at the Westin. From the start Steven was professional and caring. The flowers were the most beautiful blue & purple orchids anyone had seen! The photographer was hands on supplying Bobby Pins for the flowers in my hair to assisting with safety pins for my bustle! The Sun and Sea team guided us down the aisle
as the ceremony was picture perfect! I loved the arbor and the pictures taken on the beach! Sun and Sea made our dreams come true - thank you so much!
My experience with Sun and Sea Beach was wonderful. Josie was very accommodating and helpful. It was wonderful to not have to worry about anything. I appreciate the staff and I received numerous compliments about how beautiful it was. Thank you so much for all your help.
Our experience with Sun and Sea was nothing short of perfect ! We live in New York and planning an out of state wedding was made pleasant and absolutely stress free! Steven was on point with every aspect and we couldn’t be more grateful.
AMAZING experience with Sun and Sea Beach Weddings… highly recommend! We weren’t sure about what we actually wanted to do about a ceremony…didn’t want a huge wedding, and didn’t want to deal with cutting family/friends from the guest list. So when we found the Sun and Sea elopement package, we were thrilled. Josie was our wedding planner and my hero! I’m very indecisive and wasn’t really sure what I wanted, and Josie’s patience and perseverance helped me make all of the decisions needed and our day was absolutely perfect! Looking back, we wouldn’t change a thing!
Choosing Sun&Sea to help coordinate every aspect of our wedding day was an absolute dream! I will forever be thankful that I came across their website. Vicky was our assigned wedding planner, she kept me on track for upcoming deadlines and created my dream ceremony! With living out of state, her help throughout this whole process really made it stress free. She is extremely knowledgeable with every aspect that goes into wedding planning, very organized, great communication and host! Despite the hot weather (which was expected), all of our guests absolutely loved being a part of our being day and nothing but positive comments about it!
Thank you Sun&Sea for creating our dream wedding!
Choosing to have my wedding through Sun and Sea Beach Weddings was the BEST decision I could have made, and I would highly recommend this company to anyone considering booking with them. Nick was always so helpful and attentive anytime we had questions, and he was accommodating to meet our requests. I live out of state, and Vicky, my wedding planner, made the entire process so easy and stress-free to plan and organize from a far. She is extremely detail-oriented, personable, and truly an expert in what she does. On the weekend of my wedding and wedding day, we were able to show up and just relax knowing everything was taken care of and in good hands with Vicky. Every detail of my wedding was actually by far better than I had even envisioned. On my wedding day, there was a patch of heavy rain expected to come through at my ceremony time, and Vicky was on top of this early, monitored the situation, and had a backup plan in place that only delayed us slightly but did not take away from the courtyard wedding experience we envisioned. It actually turned out better under the lanai, because of the small size of our wedding, and it amplified the sound of the violin. All of my family and friends also had nothing but great things to say about Vicky, the venue, and the overall experience. Sun and Sea truly makes dreams come true! I cannot thank them enough for the work that they put in to make this a day I will treasure forever.
Sun and Sea did an amazing job on my wedding day and made the day an absolute dream come true! They took all the stress off us and exceeded all expectations! Their communication was superb and made me feel like their number one priority!
I would use Sun and Sea and do my wedding the exact same way 1000 times over!
There are so many things I would like to say about Sun and Sea Weddings. They were absolutely amazing. I worked closely with Steven, and he was on top of everything from start to finish. I live in Colorado and was anxious about finding someone I could trust to plan our elopement to Florida. The sign-up process was very detailed and provided me with all the options I didn't even know existed. And they got back to me right away to help start planning our elopement. We chose the River to Sea Preserve location in St. Augustine, FL, and I couldn't be happier. Everything went off without a hitch. From the very start, Steven was on top of communication with me. I was unable to have many phone conversations due to the nature of my job, but that did not hinder or hold up any of the wedding planning. Steven provided me with all the information I needed to make the day exactly as I imagined it would be. They even were able to accommodate my personal choice for a wedding bouquet. The flouriest simple just asked for a picture and provided an estimate. On the day of the wedding, everything was set up in advance with plenty of time for us to arrive. Naturally, we were running a little bit late, (my dad took a wrong turn on the way) but that did not phase them in the slightest. I was in constant communication with the staff who were waiting for me at the beach to arrive, guided us through the timing of when to walk down the aisle, and even were so helpful with moving the decorations up the beach multiple times due to the rising tide. The photographer was amazing and she did such a wonderful job. We opted to do a second location for pictures at the Washington Oaks Gardens, and I am so glad we did. It was absolutely beautiful. I fell in love with it the second we arrived. I can't wait to get our pictures! I highly recommend Sun and Sea Weddings to anyone who is looking for a destination wedding. There was no stress involved with the planning process whatsoever.
Vania has been easy to talk to and always replies quickly to any questions or concerns that we may have had. On our wedding day she was so patient and understanding! Everything was set up beautifully and so well thought out. The decorations and set up was everything that we expected/wanted and then more :). Our photographer, Ben was amazing and the photos came fast and were beautiful. He was able to get all the photos before the rain caught us. Although the day went by super fast it was well worth it to have Sun and Sea Beach Weddings to be there for us, making our dreams come true.
My experience with Sun and Sea was the best! From the beginning they were very concerned about the details I wanted and, above all, they gave me the confidence that we can make a wedding in such a short time. Josie was very kind, always helping me with my doubts, answering all my doubts quickly and assertively, even calming me down because of the unpredictable weather. The photographer was amazing. He took some fun and beautiful pictures of us and our guests. The entire staff was very helpful! I got the wedding of my dreams, even better with some surprises from nature and happy memories! I recommend it to anyone who wants an intimate beach wedding!
I would recommend them to all my family and friends that want to get married on the beach the really reached my wife and I expectations and then some their services was outstanding they deserve the 5 stars 🌟 I gave them
Josie and team were phenomenal. Made everything so easy for us and it turned out better than we could ever imagined. Couldn’t imagine using anyone else.
Never thought I would say this but our wedding was fun and easy. They stayed in contact with us through the entire process and took all the pressure off of us so we could enjoy our moment
If your looking for beautiful, simple and stress free look no more! Josie and her team did Phenomenal with ensuing I was pleased with everything before my big day and on my big day! I’m very happy with my decision to allow sun and sea to handle the stressful stuff. Not sure if I mentioned my pictures were PERFECT!
The weather took a turn for the worse so Josie was able to get everything moved up one day. The group was very professional and helpful. Josie was texting me on her own wedding day, shows how much dedication she has to her role in making dream weddings come true. Everything turned out great. The minister and photographer were very helpful in making our special day come true.
Thank you, Sun and Sea! I loved the floral arrangements for our wedding on 6-4-2022. The photographer was amazing and I cannot wait to see the photos. The roses made my cake perfect!!
Steven, our wedding planner, helped us throughout the entire process, and I cannot express how easy he made everything. Every little detail was gone over and double checked to make sure everything was exactly as we wanted it. Plus, Steven was very transparent and honest with us throughout the entire process, and to me that is something special. Jeannie was our photographer, and not to sound like a broken record here but we couldn’t have asked for more. She made everything feel very natural, and our photo session yielded great results. She even let us go into the water for pictures which was a big item on our wishlist. She handled the difficulties of being on a windy beach with absolutely no issues. Shawn and Zack set up our decor and chairs, and it looked wonderful. It was set up in no time, taken down in no time, and they were there the entire time in case anything needed their attention. Again, an absolutely amazing team and company that I couldn’t recommend highly enough. If you want an easy, relaxed, beautiful, and memorable wedding, go with Sun and Sea Weddings. I can’t express how much they did to make our special day easy for everyone, and an event everyone can look back on with fond memories.
I clearly recall reading reviews on Sun and Sea Beach Weddings trying to figure out where to even start for an out of state beach wedding and I can truly say you will not have a single regret choosing this group for your big day. Our wedding on Vilano Beach could not have been more flawless and smooth! Steven was a godsend in so many ways and the compassion, caring nature, and responsiveness I received on any of my questions, changes, concerns kept me from spending time worrying about things I didn't need to all throughout the process. Our wedding day team (Derek and David) were equally as excellent and abundantly helpful, easy to work with, and very welcoming. We could not have asked for a better group to pull off our dream of having a beach wedding, not a single thing was out of place. Thank you so much Sun and Sea Beach Weddings for a magical day!
Planning a destination wedding can be both exciting and stressful at the same time. I was very grateful to find Sun and Sea Beach Weddings. Vania was our coordinator and she was great. Vania and her team went over and beyond to make sure our day was perfect. My guests were also amazed with the set up for the ceremony and the reception. I was a little nervous about having bbq served at the reception. However, the food was excellent from Southern Soul BBQ Catering. Roy also did an excellent job capturing some very special moments in the photos he took. Memories that my husband and I will have for a lifetime. Sun and Sea Beach Weddings thank you for making the best day of my life so beautiful.
Our Amelia Island wedding was everything I dreamed of and more, and I am so happy we trusted Sun & Sea Beach weddings to make it happen! The whole planning process with Steven was such a joy -- he gave great advice and direction, offered reassurance whenever I was nervous about something, and was very responsive with questions and changes. The wedding day team who handled the set up (Steven, Isaac, and Jada) were wonderful! They were warm and friendly toward our guests, and really helped to create a happy and relaxed atmosphere for our celebration. Everything turned out beautifully from the florals to the decor details. If you are wondering who to hire to plan your beach wedding from afar, look no further!
I cannot thank Steven and Sun and Sea Beach Weddings enough for our amazing wedding. We had an absolutely perfect ceremony on 5/16/2022. With the help of Steven, I was able to plan a beautiful ceremony in St. Augustine while living in NY. The entire process was so smooth and so easy. I cannot recommend Sun and Sea Beach Wedding enough. Thank you Steven, Vania, Marie and Sun and Sea Beach Wedding for what you did for my husband and I!
Every staff member we dealt with for the entirety of booking our wedding till the day of and beyond have been awesome. Josie was supremely helpful with every question and concern we had throughout the whole planning phase. The day of was super windy and my veil kept coming loose, she did her best to reattach it but once I started walking towards the arbor the wind snatched it. Our day was absolutely beautiful and more than we could have dreamed. We were super thankful we found a company that provided us a gorgeous beach wedding without breaking the bank. We would highly recommend this company.
I strongly suggest staying away from this company. There were multiple problems the day of our wedding from this company, but the ultimate slap in the face was the complete lack of care. Even after the officiant showed up an hour late, the photographer demanded extra payment on the beach and refused to take our wedding photos, Josie (the wedding coordinator we had never met) not having the music for our ceremony, and having to find and hire our own officiant literally minutes before our ceremony, the owner, Nick, told us our attitudes ruined the day, not his company.
For a business that promises perfection and claims to be in the wedding business, they treated our wedding as if it didn’t matter.
STAY AWAY
Sun & Sea did an outstanding job for my wedding. Steven was so encouraging and supportive every step of the way. Even when the venue required more and more documentation, they came through. Steven was always calm and reassuring that everything would turn out. And he was right. Sun & Sea makes you feel like the most beautiful and important person (which you are!) and provides everything you need to (literally and emotionally) make your wedding day the best day ever. #Iloveyoutothebeachandback
Steven @ Sun & Sea provided excellent services for our Wedding Ceremony at Vilano Beach Rock Jetty. He was very professional; accommodating and made sure everything went smoothly from the first meeting to Wedding Day. After a cold and rainy week, it was a beautiful sunny Saturday though a bit windy. Steven and the Sun&Sea crew were able to battle the windy conditions and provided an exceptional setting for the ceremony. Muy buen trabajo Steven!
Gracias.

I cannot recommend this company enough! From the very first interaction to the day of I knew I was in good hands. Nick was so helpful when I first reached out and had a million questions. I found the design of my dreams and was fortunate to be given Steven as my planner. He took such pride in the design of our wedding. Steven would call me immediately if I sent him a text sounding worried and always set my mind at ease. I could tell he was very passionate about his job and besides answering some detail questions and figuring out a time and place I was very hands off. When I walked down the aisle and saw everything for the first time I was blown away, they really put so much effort into our special day. It was scary to book something online but I am so glad I did. They took all the stress away and we had the most beautiful memorable day. Thank you so much to the sun and sea wedding team, Love The Bullett’s
Sun and Sea did an excellent job… vania made all my visions a reality. I did not want to do much planning for our wedding. And she took over and made it such a beautiful day! We could not say enough good things about them and our experience.
We wanted a secluded wedding atmosphere, and Sun and Sea surely did everything we imagined and more! We loved our experience, from the first steps on the beach, to our wedding sand keepsake, to the beautiful people who shared in our wedding day events - we say THANK YOU!
We were married on Jekyll Island, Ga. Besides for the absolutely breathtaking scenery of the Driftwood Beach, our wedding held a romantic and secluded theme that was very attractive to us! We were received with such a warm and friendly manner by our officiant, Reverend Esteban Romero and other members of the Sun and Sea Beach Wedding staff. We received personalized attention by our excellent photographer, she covered our ceremony as well as multitude of scenic backgrounds. This company is truly AMAZING and takes romance to a new level.
This was an outstanding, beautiful, and memorable way to begin our life together!!! Do not hesitate one bit when making Sun and Sea a part of your wedding day, WE DIDN'T and we LOVED EVERY MINUTE of our Driftwood Beach wedding! - Jennifer and Louis Scibelli.
LOVED LOVED everything about my special day! Couldn’t have asked for a better setup. Josie was amazing. Can’t wait to see our photos!
Vicky was so helpful and friendly throughout the entire process. We had to make several changes along the way including the date and she was more than accomadating and understanding. It turned out to be a perfect day and absolutely beautiful experience.
Outstanding! We had a beautiful beach wedding and everything was perfect. They were very flexible and their attention to details helped make the day wonderful and a day to always remember. Our wedding planner, Vicky, was great. I would recommend her to any couple wanting expert wedding planning.
Don’t hesitate to use this amazing company. Vicky was outstanding, the planning process was seamless. She is professional, accommodating and attentive to every detail and request. Our Wedding day was perfect. Everything exceeded our expectations. The location, the decor, the flowers and the flow of our day was without fault. Every couple should be so lucky to have this experience. Vicky and her team have a sense of ownership that carries over into each and every detail.
We had a sunset wedding at CastleGate in St. Augustine, the ceremony and reception setting are what dreams are made of. Perfection.
Thank you!
Sun & Sea did a great job with our small intimate wedding in Daytona Beach. As someone who has a background in event planning I had high expectations and the exact details were important to me. We chose Sun & Sea because of the previous reviews and because we wanted such a custom day. Photos and flowers were important for us and both were fantastic. Our photographer Dan was really creative and we had a lot of fun working with him. Derek was our officiant and went above and beyond to make sure I had all the specific details and accommodated our custom ceremony script. I highly recommend Sun & Sea - Thank you for making our special day so seemless and enjoyable!
Stephen was absolutely AMAZING! He took care of every detail, big and small. My bouquet, the decor and all flowers were exceptionally stunning… far exceeding my expectations! He took all the stress off my plate and made our day PERFECT! He even took the time to recommend restaurants for dinner in both St. Augustine & Palm Coast. If you are in the market for a destination wedding Sun and Sea is the way to go! We couldn’t be happier!
