I am from out of state and came across this venue for our wedding. I worked with Cathy and she so helpful and amazing! I took a virtual tour before I booked here and With Cathy always responding quickly and making the process smooth and easy. We had our wedding on 5/24/24 it was a micro wedding but Cathy and all her staff set everything up beautifully and was there to help tell everyone when to start walking out for the ceremony. The steak and stuff chicken we offered at our reception were to die for and all of the hors d'oeuvres were great. Our guests couldn't stop talking about it all. We had a long table out on the terrace and dance floor outside there too, they did a great job to make our day beautiful. If you are unsure where to book from Florida or out of state I strongly recommend B Ocean Resort. Rooms, hotel, staff, beach, pool everything was amazing! Thank you again B Ocean Resort staff for making our special day so special!
