Leah was Amazing!

We had our wedding at Shephard's Beach and I would highly recommend this venue. We looked at a lot of venues in the area and this was by far the best value. They block off a portion of the beach so you don't have to worry about random people in your pictures. The pictures we got were stunning, the food was delicious, all of the staff were very nice and accommodating, but by far our venue coordinator, Leah was the best part. I wish we didn't hire a day of coordinator, Leah took care of absolutely everything and she stepped in to make sure the day ran smoothly. Leah was extremely helpful in the planning ahead of time and she was a huge reason my wedding day went smoothly. Absolutely book this venue!

Run! To this venue’s

It would take me a week to write about all the positives we encountered at Shepards as our wedding venue. All I can say is this unique beautiful spot is perfect for your Florida beach wedding. Leah, the manager and wedding coordinator, Brandon, the house DJ, the absolute beautiful sunset, and everything in between is absolutely perfect!!!!!!

We Had the Best Time!

We had so much fun. Leah, the manager, was outstanding. Service was first class all the way. The front desk, valet, and everyone made the process from check in to check out stress free. Highly recommended.
