Nothing short of perfect!!

We had a beautiful beachfront ceremony at the Marriott! All the staff are incredible, and so helpful! The hotel was very clean, and all the rooms are oceanfront! It was a great location, so many things to do within walking distance!

Words can't describe!

First off, I have very high expectations and can be very picky. (Well that's what my husband tells me haha) With that being said, the staff at the Marriott went well beyond my hopes and dreams of having a perfect wedding. The wait staff was professional and made me feel very important. They gave us a free ocean view suite for our wedding night and the food was phenomenal. The chef definitely knows what he is doing! Thank you guys for making our day perfect!

I wanted to endorse the folks at Courtyard by Marriott at Carolina Beach especially Nellie who is the event coordinator. I met with them before a wedding I did this past weekend & they have a great staff & very accommodating. I look forward to working other events with this team! Thanks Daniel Palattella

I have had the pleasure of performing several wedding ceremonies at the Courtyard By Marriott Carolina Beach and I have to say the staff is amazing. I've seen the venue needing to be changed quickly from an outside ceremony to an inside and without a blink they had it done and in such a way you would never know the original plan was anything different. One instance that stands out to me is a time due to unforeseen circumstances the music the bride was to enter in was not available. As we discussed the options one of the Marriott team members spoke up and said she could sing! Wow! Her voice and the gesture were absolutely beautiful. If you want professionals who can make it happen & happily just reach out to the Courtyard by Marriott Carolina Beach.
