The Winds Resort Beach Club

Ceremony:

I give this place a ten star rating! We knew that we wanted to get married on the beach, so it was just a matter of finding a place that could take us. We found our about the Wind Resort while visiting the coast and fell in love! We met with a manager that day, and spoke about possible wedding packages. We went with the 'cloud 9' option, which means that we would get married on the beach with our friends watching, and then we would have access to the reception hall for a feast. What I loved was that they took care of everything, they got the minister, and flowers and chairs and decoration, and our only task was to be there! It was such an easy day for everyone! It does take a while to get there from Durham, but it is such a peaceful and wonderful place that it is worth it.

Reception:

The reception hall is really pretty, and it was perfect for a group our size. They took care of every aspect of the dinner and reception, including setting up a meeting before hand with the resort's chef to talk about a menu, a cake, and the hotel took care of linens and music and flowers. They were even able to suggest some photographers. It was a perfect setting for a wedding reception, it was bright and clean, and everyone had a great time.

Guest Accommodations:
I think the best part of the Wind Resort is that they have so many different types of rooms and cottages. Our friends and family could chose between renting out an entire cottage for a week, or just getting a room for the night at the hotel. I loved the small cottage that my parents rented for the week! It super cute and clean, and all our other family members who were staying in hotel rooms were able to come down and have breakfast and lunch there. My parent's cabin was basically the meeting point for everyone, which is what groups should consider when traveling down here. ALSO pay attention to the website, because we got 15% off coupons for our guests.
