Sugar Beach weddings did an awesome job with our wedding! We had a destination wedding and planned everything from Kentucky and Connie took all the stress out of it. They took care of every detail and it all went perfectly! The photographer Rosie Higher was amazing too! I would highly recommend Sugar Beach weddings!

Connie made this process so easy and stress free! The photographer Christopher Pendleton was so professional and created amazing photos of the ceremony and the family afterwards! He had a super quick turn around getting photos back to us in 3 weeks! He also made it so easy and fun to do different poses that came out beautiful! I loved my experience with this company!

We had our wedding 10/10/2020. Not only did they help us not worry about a pandemic during the wedding planning but they also helped me stay calm while planning the destination wedding the same day as a hurricane! We live in Ohio. I was losing my mind wondering about rescheduling with a 80% chance of hurricane during our wedding time. Connie kept me positive and said it would clear out. It sure did! An hour before the ceremony the hurricane broke in time to set up.
Rain started again seconds after we finished photos. They say rain on your wedding day is good luck because a wet knot can't be untied. With our storm we will last forever. Our set up was perfect. We did the ultimate package and everyone involved was perfect. If I could change anything I wouldn't. The photos turned out great too. Got them back in under 2 weeks with over 200 photos.

I was going to try to do the wedding on my own because after all it is the beach and I didn't want much decor.But as I dove into planning and searching for chairs,arbor, and beach location I got very overwhelmed.So I searched Google and found Sugar Beach Weddings.I met with Connie one time and she nailed it on my wedding day.From the decor to her directing the guests she lets no stress effect you what so ever! The photographer that was included in the package was professional and my pictures came out amazing! I highly recommend this company to anyone having a beach wedding in this area.

Everything was PERFECT! Connie helped me so much with planning the wedding and assured me many of times throughout the process not to stress that it would all work out and it did! It was absolutely beautiful and I would not have changed anything about that day!

We love Sugar Beach Weddings! Connie was so helpful. She communicated with us the whole time and everything was perfect on our wedding day. The photographer was awesome and our wedding officiant (Kevin) was excellent! He and our wedding coordinator, Tanya, directed everything during the wedding. Their execution was flawless and they kept everyone calm and positive. If you're getting married soon, choose a beach wedding with Sugar Beach Weddings. It's inexpensive and the scenery is beautiful! Honestly, I can't fit everything I loved about my wedding in this review!

We got married at the end of October. Our wedding ceremony was so beautifully decorated. They got back to me promptly with answers to my questions. They have so many beautiful decorations and colors to choose from. Definitely brought my dream wedding to life! Also took so much stress of myself as far as the decorating and music and entire coordinating process. All the individuals were very professional and helpful. Highly recommend!
