Tammy is amazing!
As we live in England, we needed a wedding coordinator who would work with us and go the extra mile to help plan our special day from overseas.

t perfect wedding day at Rocky Cove, Villas by the Sea, Jekyll Island.
Tammy ensured that everything went smoothly and helped us with the table decorations, seating chart, catering placement, beach ceremony set-up and much more.
We felt from first contact that we were in very good hands and are so thrilled with how beautifully our special day went.
We can’t recommend Tammy enough!
our wedding turned out great! Tammy did a great job directing and making sure the day went smooth! communication throughout the time was awesome as well! would highly recommend!

smoothly. From the set up, tear down and venue layout to even fixing my plate at the rehearsal dinner so I wouldn't have to hold my wedding dress up while fixing it. She was honestly a huge life savor & the absolute sweetest most kind-hearted person. I would high recommend this wedding venue.

The rooms were so beautiful and Tammy was so sweet!
I did not use the conference center. Ours was just a small wedding on the beach. The Resort would have been fabulous if there had not been dump trucks carrying loads of rock in a...
ll day long every day making a tremendous amount of noise
Led by Tammy Young, the Villas by the Sea team was wonderful. Tammy was very helpful in answering my questions and accomodating my requests leading up to and throughout the event. ...
She even went above and beyond the call of duty and helped put on chair covers and sashes (while my setup crew was having a blast at the bachelorette party). When i entered the venue, just before my bridal entrance, guess who was there comforting my flower girl. Tammy! It's the little things that truly stand out to me. The day was one I'll never forget. Thank you Villas by the Sea!
Tammy was great to work with and the location was perfect! Hurricane Irma took out the garden and pavilion which were our 2 ideas for ceremony locations. Fortunately, because of Ir...
ma, it took down trees so we were able to have our ceremony on the lawn looking out to the ocean. I would definitely recommend Villas by the Sea!
We really got lucky with this space! February wedding in S. GA can be dicey with weather changes but was WELL worth it! They provided the ceremony space, the officiant, reception s...
pace including tables and chairs at both the beach and reception.
We thought it was reasonable compared to other accommodations in the area. The little wedding venue secret is this place! The wedding coordinator was very helpful in getting vendors like flowers , caterers etc even though we didn't use all of her suggestions. We totally appreciate the winter get away discount too.
We had 60 people and they accomdated almost all of them with wedding special priced rooms too. We had an awesome 4 day wedding!
Our wedding was exactly what we wanted and more! Tammy at Villas by the Sea is amazing! She was so patient and professional with us, answering all of our questions. When we had t...
o find a new reception venue one month before the wedding, Tammy helped keep us calm and quickly found us a new place to have the reception. She was so helpful - from set up to clean up and everything in between. Everything about Villas by the Sea was wonderful!!
Provided a great place for our entire family to stay and celebrate our fabulous wedding week.
Weather does play a big role for this venue but I got lucky. Sunny April weekend with light breeze (which made my veil flow so beautifully). The ceremony was at 3pm but not many pe...
ople were out on the beach so we pretty much had the beach to ourselves. Their pavilion was a great location for dinner/reception.
I recently had my wedding here and words can not express the wonderful job everyone involved did. My wedding was anything but easy. More like Murphy's law you might say (anything t...
hat can happen, will happen.) Tammy Young, my wedding coordinator, was a life saver! She kept us calm and reassured us everything would be ok when sometimes it seemed impossible. She was so organized and helpful no matter what the problem was. Even if the problem was a hurricane. I can not imagine having to plan my wedding without her!
The wedding site at the pavillion was beautiful and the accommodations for guests are clean, comfortable, and affordable. The staff on site is friendly and extremely helpful and accommodating when or if there's a problem.
I had my reception at the conference center on site (Straton Hall) and again they were amazing! Margo French was my coordinator and she is fabulous! I had no idea what I wanted there (flowers, cake, decorations...etc) but I gave her my colors and budget and trusted her and Stacy to work their magic. They blew my mind! If I could've reached in my mind and vocalized what I wanted it would've been exactly what they did! It was amazing! And they were very conscious and courteous to my budget.
I honestly cannot imagine having planned my wedding elsewhere and there isn't a thing I would have changed about my wedding at villas. Not one thing. If you choose to have your wedding here I guarantee you won't regret it!
A great venue for a small wedding with Lots of charm. The staff at the villas will work with you and help make your day wonderful. It's not just this venue, the whole island offers...
your wedding guests a nice weekend with the villas as their home base. You can't beat their Pavillion for view and intimacy.
Villas by the Sea hosted my wedding on 10-11-12 and was coordinated by Tammy Young. She did wonderfully in keeping everything in order and making sure we had everything we needed....
Each of the villas is set up like a townhouse so we were able to prepare foods for the rehearsal and days preceding the wedding as well as having gatherings in each of the rooms since they had a living room area.
We used their "Pavilion Package" which was very moderately priced and allowed us to have our wedding on Driftwood beach like we had planned with no extra cost. It also let us use the covered pavilion (although rain was not a factor for us, thank goodness) for our reception. The pavilion was spacious enough for our all guests and when the tide came in was right on top of the water, but still had a dry beach area where our guests sat around a small fire pit and talked after the caterer had left.
All-in-all we had the most wonderful time and would highly recommend the Villas by the Sea to anyone planning a small beach wedding.
These villas were beautiful! Like little homes. They look old on the outside but each one has been remodeled on the inside and they are each decorated differently. One of our weddi...
ngn party members had a leak in her room and they immediately moved her to a new room with no problems, even helped her carry her items. We didn't want to leave.
We really enjoyed our stay at Villas By the Sea. Our room was very nice and everyone at the hotel was very helpful.
