The Sands Atlantic Beach

e until I had the pleasure of meeting Lori, the amazingly talented wedding planner. Lori gave us a tour of this gorgeous venue and we fell in love with the piano and round-couches in the lobby with beautifully updated lighting and sparkling walls, the stunningly beautiful wedding/event party rooms both downstairs and upstairs and of course, the Disney dream-like beachfront which felt like our home away from home (as my husband and I had our first kiss on the beach and it’s the place where we fell in love for the first time). If I wasn’t limited to 3500 words on this post, I would cap it at around 10,000 words so I could fully explain to you just how much of a difference Lori has made in our lives. Lori is not just a wedding planner, a detail oriented genius and a fashionista but she is a friend, she has a motherly instinct and is protective and so very caring about all of her brides. Lori treated me like her own daughter and she lead me into the direction of my ultimate wedding dream goals which came true on our wedding day. She made sure we took pictures out on the beach for our first look and she really listened to everything we asked for and she honored them all respectfully and with care. Lori let us have a wonderful evening of food-tasting before our wedding day so we could sample the perfect appetizers and main course dishes to ensure our guests also had the perfect day at our wedding by being fed the most delicious food possible. Lori ensured we were treated like royalty and even set up a table for us with silky linens as if we were wedding guests at a high-class wedding. It was the best night ever! Every food sampling choice was extraordinarily delicious and perfection at best! It made it so difficult to narrow down because everything was first class service. My husband and I chose to purchase the full wedding package at The Sands which included the best vendors ever and whom we loved! It made wedding planning easier to know that once we secured these vendors, we were one step closer to completing our wedding planning dreams. We felt a sense of society in making this wonderful choice. Our wedding day was a dream come true because of Lori, her amazing staff, her truly talented vendors she personally recommended and who she closely works with and the venue is so absolutely gorgeous! I felt like I was living in Cinderella’s dream-world. The palm trees on the beach encapsulate you into another world where you are the star of your own wedding. It’s as if you’re in a tropical dreamland. I hope someday Lori gets an honorary award for her exemplary dedication, her stress-free and calming presence she shares with the bride and for her sense of dignified professionalism and care for the married couple. Lori went above and beyond to ensure every wedding table was perfect, every detail was exactly on point, every family member was treated well and every part of our wedding day went smoothly. It’s hard to express in words just how appreciative we are. Many of my family and friends said that our wedding was the absolute best wedding they had ever been to sand that we had the best food they ever tasted at a wedding venue before and I have Lori to thank along with her amazingly talented chefs, attendants, vendors and staff who treated us like pure gold.

ur decorations, and she set them up for us, and at the end of the night they were packed up for us, ready to go, which was very convenient. The food at the Sands was delicious, and they had so many different options especially during cocktail hour. One of my guests told me that it was the best prime rib steak they ever had and they are very picky with steak the pasta dinner entrée was amazing too !! My recommendation would be to have a list of the cocktail hour appetizers you want to try and give it to the bridal attendant and enjoy it in your room before you enter the reception :) The service was great. Everybody was super friendly. My bridal attendant was very sweet .the bartender was excellent. everyone said he made yummy strong drinks lol. The room was very pretty, and I love the new flooring . I can't wait to attend future events at the Sands and I hope one day they decide to host some New Year's Eve parties, because I would love to attend that haha !
