Can't recommend enough!

If you're thinking about booking with the Opal Sands for your wedding, do yourself a favor and just do it! Everything about my experience was a 1000/10. If you're looking for a place with stunning views, the best wedding food you & your guests will ever have, and all around amazing vibes then this is the perfect place! From the day we toured to our wedding day, Jenna and her team were BEYOND amazing. All of our guests had nothing but great things to say about the team at the Opal. Jenna's communication, attention to detail, assistance, and hard work are seriously unbeatable!! We have received nothing but great compliments from our guests who stayed at the Opal and those we didn't about the service, food, accommodations, and views. I honestly cannot recommend the Opal enough!! If I could relive my wedding I would book at the Opal 100x's again. My husband and I will definitely be back for a getaway!

Thank you Jenna and team for making our day everything and more than we could have ever imagined. We are so grateful for you guys and appreciate everything you did for us!

Awesome outdoor wedding

We LOVED our wedding reception on the event lawn at Opal Sands! The evening weather was perfect in late October, and we had a beautiful backdrop of the gulf and sunset during our pictures, dinner, and first dance. Jenna was our site coordinator, and she was fantastic! She is knowledgeable, professional, great with email/phone/in-person communication, flexible, and a joy to work with. We cannot say enough about Jenna's expertise! The catering service also was flexible with our menu changes, and we received many positive comments about the food throughout the night. We loved the entire team and venue!

Exceptional

From the moment we booked, Jenna was exceptional, making my daughter’s wedding planning fun instead of stressful. After reading so many great reviews and seeing the beautiful pictures, we had high expectations, but even so were blown away when the big day came. The ceremony was breathtaking and the sea salon stunning at sunset. Guests were raving about the food during the cocktail hour and I was thinking “ just wait until you sit down for dinner.” The reception went smoothly and was so much fun- we all just enjoyed every minute and it was one of the best meals we’ve ever had. I can’t say enough good things about Jenna, the Opal Sands, and all of the staff.
