    Shephard's Beach Resort was the perfect venue for our wedding. From the very beginning, their team was incredibly responsive and provided clear communication, making the planning process seamless. On the day of, the venue was spacious and offered a beautiful view of the ocean, creating a serene and elegant atmosphere. The staff were friendly and accommodating, ensuring our guests were happy and relaxed during cocktail hour as they waited for us to join the reception. They truly went above and beyond to make our special day unforgettable, from the ceremony to the reception. We are so grateful to the Shephard's Beach Resort team for helping make our wedding dreams a reality.

    Shephard's Beach Resort was the perfect venue for our wedding. From the very beginning, their communication was quick, officiant, and they clearly prioritized making our day special. Leah, the event coordinator, went above and beyond for us - she was so kind and attentive throughout the planning process. The venue itself was picturesque, with amazing sunset views over the water that created an intimate and romantic atmosphere. We couldn't have asked for a more beautiful setting to celebrate our marriage. Shephard's Beach Resort exceeded all of our expectations and we are so grateful for the role they played in making our wedding day so perfect.
