Words cannot express how grateful I am for Abby and Mia. My wedding day was everything I’ve always dreamed of and more. I was not the easiest bride to deal with but they handled it very well and every thing I needed was taken care of without hesitation or worry. The day was the worst wind they’ve ever experienced but somehow they still managed to put the most beautiful decorations out and get them to stay. The venue was absolutely stunning!!! And the way they set everything up was so perfect and more beautiful than I ever could have imagined. I mean every single detail was just so thought out. Abby and Mia’s attention to detail and decorating skills were just above and beyond. We had the most complicated speciality drinks and every single person said that the drinks Abby made were absolutely delicious. They kept everything so organized and the day just went so smoothly. Our bridal suits were filled with the best snacks and drinks which was extremely thoughtful. They really just spoiled us so much and made me the happiest bride. Everyone said it felt like a Hollywood wedding. I didn’t get to thank them but I wish I did because they pulled off an absolutely wonderful wedding that we will all remember forever. Thank you so so soooo much Abby and Mia!!! Reviewed on 03-05-2023

Josie Chevis(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 28-04-2019 This place is awesome and photographs beautifully. Brian and his staff are super professional. They worked with me on everything from start to finish. I literally didn't worry about anything that day. Anything I needed or asked for, Brian took care of it. My wedding day went without any hiccups. If there was a issue, I had no clue because they handled it and kept me out the loop so I can enjoy my day. I would highly recommend this place. I received so many compliments on this venue and how beautiful it was. Can't thank them enough for making my day so amazing!! Reviewed on 17-05-2019
Diana Gonzalez(bride)4 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 02-03-2019 We booked a year in advance with Tiare and for the most of the year we only heard from Volkan whom she had hired a few weeks before to help her. Once January came around I reached out to set up a meeting to go over our decorations, day of coordination, timeline and songs for dj. When we arrived Steve didn’t know we had a meeting set up. He explained that Tiare had passed the previous year - which we didn’t know - and seems there had been some issues internally. I must say my husband and I were a little nervous about this initial meeting. Despite this initial meeting, the following meetings with Brian and Monica were great. We really appreciate the work Brian Miller and Monica did on the day. If it weren’t for Brian I am not sure what kind of wedding we would have had. He definitely went above and beyond to make sure that our timeline ran smoothly. I do feel there are things that they can improve as far as using the facility for the bridal and grooms room. They do need to be clearer on some issues of areas we could use. I was not aware but as soon as 11:30pm was arriving they were rushing everyone out the door. We had the sparkler send off and were rushing my bridal party and family to pick up stuff quickly to be out the door. I understand they have a time frame but my family and friends felt too much pressure that they even dropped my guestbook and glass broke. I do recommend this venue as it is beautiful but make sure that you have an exit plan. I wish it had been told to us so we could’ve been better prepared. All in all we had a lot of fun, we made the best we could as we had a little bad weather. It was foggy a little chilly and a bit damp. In spite of this our family and friends loved our wedding and we got so many compliments. He sights are definitely to die for. Reviewed on 18-04-2019
Shelby Ware(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 20-10-2018 Where do I start.. Daniele and volkan are miracle workers! I started planning a year ahead and I’m very OCD and get anxiety over the smallest things.. they made sure all of my worries were taken care of from day one! Closer to the wedding I really started to freak out but once again they assured me everything would be ok and they will take care of anything that gets thrown our way and boy did they! If anything didn’t go as planned during our wedding I had NO idea what so ever because they were doing everything!!! The day of the wedding it was drizzling all day and I started to panic Daniele assured me everything was going to be fine and sure enough right when the wedding was starting, it stopped and they went out and wiped down everything and you couldn’t even tell it was drizzling all day! They literally know what they are doing they made sure everything down to the smallest things were getting taken care of and I didn’t have to worry about a single thing that day.. and trust me I’m the type of person who said I was still going to try to be running things the day of the wedding but I literally didn’t have to at all because they were so on top of it all! It was such a relief! I am so glad I chose this venue they made my wedding that I dreamt of come true! I wouldn’t have changed a thing! I can’t thank these wonderful people enough! I highly recommend this place and I will continue to recommend this place for everyone! It’s beautiful!! Reviewed on 03-01-2019

My husband and I had our Vow Renewal at the mansion last Sunday. When we first visited the mansion we immediately fell in love with location and decided that day we would book Mansion for our Vow Renewal Wedding. Due to unforeseen circumstances and a change in ownership we were assigned a new owner and wedding planner. We were hesitant at first seeing it was about 4months from our wedding date when we found this out. But from the beginning Volkan made the transition as easy and smooth as possible, being so accommodating with our needs and assuring us we would have the perfect wedding with no worries. Day of the wedding as soon as we got there everything was perfect. Whatever we needed Volkan and Danielle were there to help with everything. Danielle helped me and my bridesmaids get ready even pinning and buttoning dresses right before the ceremony. She was so amazing and even though the day of the wedding was the first time I met her it was as though we met a thousand times! She always made sure me and my girls were doing good and if ever needed anything she right away took care of it. Volkan also made sure my husband and his groomsmen were taken care of as well. He helped with their ties and made sure everyone was comfortable and relaxed! Throughout the night they both made sure everything was good and were told not to worry about anything but only to enjoy ourselves! Volkan and Danielle are truly an amazing couple and if you are searching for a stress-free amazing wedding to remember, Mansion by the Sea is where you need to be! You will not be disappointed! If we ever decide to have a Vow Renewal again we will definitely be back!!! Reviewed on 20-08-2018
Troy Philips(groom)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 14-06-2018 This venue was absolutely GORGEOUS! We were coming in from about 4 hours away, and they made it so easy to work with them. They answered all of our questions, and helped make everything run smoothly. From the first visit, to the wedding day, they were there every step making us feel so comfortable. The packages were amazing, so much stuff included for an affordable price. They give you a list of vendors to help narrow your search, and honestly take so much of the stress out of the planning process. They day of was a breeze! I could not have been more happy with the venue, staff, and overall experience with them! I would definitely recommend if you are looking for an affordable, beautiful, beachy venue!

Masiel Maza(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 17-05-2018 I don't even know where to start on describing how wonderful the entire Mansion by the Sea team was for the whole process leading up to our wedding. From the initial phone call we made to set up a tour of the venue back in December 2016, all the way up until our wedding night on May 17, 2018, they took care of everything. Tiare and her husband Steve were amazingly patient despite our many tours of the venue and assured us that everything would be taken care of. Volkan and his wife Danielle helped us with all the details in the months leading up to the big day, and were the absolutely best to have on our wedding day. They made sure everything was running smoothly for our timeline (even though some of our groomsmen and many guests were late) and taking care of issues that arose throughout the night. We hadn't put our music preferences high on our priority list during our planning, but the DJ, Brian, was so awesome and worked with us up until the morning of our wedding day to take care of everything. We had completely forgotten to ask our caterer about the plates and utensils for the cake and who would be cutting it, and after a quick conversation with me, Danielle took care of everything and had the catering company bring all the supplies we were missing. They brought us food and drinks once our reception started and made sure we didn't need anything all night. At the end of the night, I had envisioned sparklers for our exit, but after letting them know that I hadn't had time to order some, Volkan and Danielle surprised us by giving our guests sparklers for our grand exit! It was the sweetest surprise and made us really happy. On top of the fact that the venue is gorgeous and provides all decorations, linens, tables, chairs, and the DJ was included, it was so worth it. We loved our wedding here and will forever cherish the memories made at Mansion by the Sea! Reviewed on 31-05-2018
Erica Wakefield(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 24-06-2017 Hands down, the best wedding venue I could have chosen. Their attention to detail is so fantastic, it will take your wedding to the next level. Mansion By The Sea is unique is that they allow you use their decorations, but you can bring your own if you wish. Personally, I didn't want to worry about having to rent tables, chairs, linens, or buy little things like starfish, and other decorations. Mansion by the sea provided all of that, and I was able to go in a pick out everything I wanted. I even brought in my own stuff which the venue set up. The day of my wedding, I kept remembering last little details I forgot about, and I would tell them and they completely took care of everything. They provide food and drinks for your wedding parties as you are getting ready. After we took pictures, the day of wedding coordinator, Angelia (who is seriously the most amazing person I have ever met), handed my husband and I water. She even washed my feet before I started my first dance to make sure all the sand was off my feet. These attention to details doesn't even touch the surface of what this venue does for you. The owner of the venue, Tiare, has a list of recommended vendors that significantly helps with the decision making process. But you are free to pick vendors outside of that list which I did for my hair. But literally, everything was better than I could have asked for on our wedding day. Also, quick note on the DJ. I was so overwhelmed with planning everything last minute that I didn't plan music until the night before haha. The DJ was texting me the night before giving great recommendations and just going with the flow! He was AMAZING! The price for this venue is SO worth it, you will not be disappointed. A huge thank you to Tiare and Angelia and all of the amazing staff, for making my wedding an unforgettable day. Reviewed on 17-09-2017
