I highly recommend Dolphin Bay as a wedding venue! Mary Ventura, the Events Coordinator, was incredible to work with -- so organized, detail-oriented, and supportive. The property is stunning, and it was SO fun having many guests staying at the same place. I'd give more than 5 stars if that was an option Reviewed on 25-10-2023

Alexandra Connolly(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 05-10-2019 The absolute best place to hold a wedding! I was so thrilled from start to finish with the ease of planning with Krysta and her team. The day of was a dream. Working with my florist they captured all the details I asked for and more. The location, views, and property can not be beat. Krysta went above and beyond, even leaving to go pick up Taco Bell at the end of the night for a 4th meal for my guests. Wish I could give Dolphin Bay more than 5 stars. Reviewed on 11-10-2019

Trista Kendall(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 25-04-2015 My review is specific to The Lido restaurant at the Dolphin Bay. We were looking for a private dining room that didn't feel like a banquet hall and The Lido had the perfect space! We worked with the event coordinator and created a personal menu that had appetizers from the banquet menu, a scaled down version of the restaurant dinner menu and our favorite part a personalized dessert trio that included our monogram and wedding date in chocolate on every dessert plate. The setting was stunning, the food amazing and the service top notch. If you are a small party looking for an intimate setting then take a look at The Lido's private dining room.

Melissa Meyer(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 26-10-2013 It was a picture perfect day for our wedding in late October. We could not have dreamed of a better place to have our ceremony and reception. We had a very small guest list of about 25 people and utilized the cobblestone overlooking the ocean for the ceremony. We had the reception in the Lido Patio. The food was AMAZING!! Everyone talked about the food. The service from the wait staff was exceptional! They took care of everything without a hitch. My go-to person from day one was Denai who made us at ease planning this wedding. I cannot say enough good things about her - she took care of every little detail and made sure everything was as we discussed down to every last detail. Without her, I would have been at a loss trying to plan and coordinate everything from 4 hours away. \r\rRegardless of your price range, she will work with you and make it work. \r\rIf you are looking for a beautiful setting that not only you will enjoy, but your guest, this is the place!\r\rBeach access a few steps away for amazing pictures!

Erika Hinsberger(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 27-10-2012 My husband and I held our ceremony and reception at Dolphin Bay Resort and Spa in October 2012. The venue was amazing, the food was delicious and the view of the ocean was beautiful. Denai Vine, Catering Manager, was on top of all of the details and kept the day/evening flowing seamlessly. The staff is polite and helpful and did not let a glass go dry :). We couldn't have asked for a more perfect venue to celebrate our wedding at. Reviewed on 13-11-2012
