10.26.24 Wedding
Palmetto Dunes Oceanfront Resort was an absolute dream venue for our wedding! From the moment we first reached out, the team was constant, enthusiastic and incredibly supportive throughout the entire planning process. The view from their deck overlooking the ocean was truly amazing - the perfect backdrop for our special day. Erin and Lisa were amazing coordinators who went above and beyond, ensuring every detail was taken care of. They even made sure we always had a drink in hand! Ryan and his staff were also incredibly attentive and made our guests feel right at home. We couldn't have asked for a better experience, and we're so grateful to the entire Palmetto Dunes team for making our wedding day absolutely perfect.
