Courtyard By Marriott Carolina Beach Reviews

Everyone at the Courtyard Marriott Carolina Beach were very helpful, professional, flexible, and worked with us for as much time as we needed every step of the way. Cannot recommend this venue and team enough. They made our wedding a special and magical day for both of our families.

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!

Everyone at the Marriott was very friendly and helpful towards my wife, our guests, and myself. I would definitely recommend them for an event and to stay at. They have a great view.

The staff at the hotel were very friendly and responsive. Everyone was great to work with and they made the process very smooth. Thank you for making my dream wedding come true!

Words cannot express how grateful we are for the staff and our experience at the Courtyard Marriott! Loralei, our event manager, was just the best and I couldn’t have gotten through everything that came up that day & beforehand without her and her amazing staff, executive chef Elwood, Christina and Emery from the banquet staff and even the room staff, were all professional courteous and wonderful to work with! Five stars all around and well worth any cost for the day!

My wedd was a dream come true thanks to the wonderful Nellie and staff at the courtyard by Marriott, Nell was always available to us and completely guided us through the whole wedding process, it just couldn't have been easier. The food was delicious and service spectacular!

I was in pure panic mode, when a week before my wedding I ended up with no wedding venue. Thank goodness for Nellie, who came to my rescue. She was very quick to respond and very efficient. When I told her of my woes, she was very understanding and reassuring. Nellie went above and beyond to ensure my day was as seamless and stress free as possible. I don't know what I would have done without her assistance and calm guidance.

Words cannot describe how perfect our wedding day was because of the team at the Courtyard Carolina Beach! Nellie and Brian made sure everything was absolutely beautiful and organized better than I could have imagined. The entire staff at the property was always so helpful and accommodating to our guests. The property has everything you would want- great customer service, amazing location, and great food! Thank you to Nellie and the entire team for making our day amazing!

My wedding is in March 2017 but I have had a great experience so far with the Courtyard. Elana is so wonderful to work with and helps me with every little thing I need. She is very quick to respond and walks me through everything. Very nice staff and hotel.

We only had our reception at the Marriot, and we absolutely loved it! Elena is the wedding specialist at the hotel, and she is amazing at her job! She did everything to make our night perfect!! We stayed at the Marriott Friday night after rehearsal to get get ready there before the wedding Saturday, and it was so much fun! Having easy access to the beach(literally just walk outside), made for an incredible weekend and a great grande exit! We wer so pleased with everything Elena and the staff at the Marriot did for us!

We held my daughter's wedding at this venue and were extremely elated from start to finish. We had 85% of our guests coming from out of town & they were very accommodating to everyone!! Elena Padilla is the coordinator and is exceptional at her job!! I highly recommend this venue!!

I don't even know where to start with describing how wonderful my experience was with the team here. When we first booked this venue, we were working with another girl, Brittni. Somewhere in the middle of our planning, Elena took over and was absolutely amazing to work with. She continued to answer each and every email promptly and jam packed with ideas. Since we were planning our wedding as a destination wedding, I relied heavily on email throughout our planning experience. When we arrived to town for our wedding week, they even helped us unload my car full of wedding stuff. We were able to meet with the staff on Friday in the afternoon before the big day to go over the little details with them. However, on the day of, the ballroom looked even better than I could have imagined! They went above and beyond my wedding dreams to create the most perfect setting I could ever imagine for our reception. The team worked closely with my other vendors, helping to intercept deliveries as they arrived so I could relax with my bridal party and enjoy the day. Our ceremony on the beach was gorgeous, the cocktail hour on the pool deck was set up so nicely and it seemed our guests had a great time. The food is awesome here, unlike typical hotel entrees! We did plated dinners with potato encrusted grouper, marinated flank steak and the chicken tuscany. We also had them serve out late night appetizers of quesadillas on our dance floor, which guests really loved. I cannot thank the Courtyard staff enough!! I highly recommend this venue if you're looking for a professional, well organized team to help you plan out your perfect day!

I highly recommend this hotel for a wedding/reception venue! Our big day wouldn't have been the same without the generous care and attention to detail provided by Elena and the entire staff!

The Courtyard is an amazing place to have your wedding!! They're a huge help and they make everything so beautiful!! A beach wedding is always beautiful but when you have a place like the courtyard to back you up and be there every step of the way is a huge help!! I will forever be thankful we had our wedding there and I will surely be recommending them to everyone!!

Michelle and I chose the Marriott for our wedding and reception. We were not disappointed at all. What an amazing value. Elena was phenomenal. Our wedding day went soooo smoothly. The day could not have gone more perfect. We wish we could have made the reception even longer because we did not want to stop partying. The Marriott staff as a whole was so kind and professional. Our stay was relaxing and comfortable. The Marriott allow us to accommodate our families and even was allowed to have a pizza party on the deck. We could not have been more satisfied and happy about our entire experience and our wedding day. Thank all of you at the Marriott for your hospitality and professionalism as well as all you had done to make our wedding day perfect and memorable.

Everything was more beautuful than we imagined! Brittni and Elena were very helpful and patient was us! The staff was so accommodating with last minute changes and helped to calm a very nervous bride!

Wedding Planner and Aunt of the Bride—Carrie J. Brydon -- 4-16-2015

The Kyla White/Taylor Bloyer wedding took place on the beach behind the Courtyard Marriott, Carolina Beach Oceanfront on Friday, April 3, 2015 at 5:30 pm. The entire event was magical—just like the fairy tales we used to read about. Kyla & Taylor and bridal party entourage were spectacular as they marched in on the sandy beach landscape with ocean back drop. The bride & groom stood underneath their beautiful white metal arbor with satin fabric blowing in the wind as they exchanged their vows and integrated their special unity sand ceremony. The Bride was radiantly beautiful!!

Cocktail hour took place on the dining deck and the couple’s Reception was hosted in the Courtyard Marriott, Cape Ballrooms. We were continually being told by our wedding guests, Marriott guests--onlookers, and a host of Marriott staff et al., how elegant and regal everything looked. Everyone had a great time as the evening events continued. All of the wedding décor and set up was exactly as I had planned it thanks to Brittni, Cory and their team. All of the services were exceptional, the staff was very gracious and cordial. The couple later danced to the music of love until an hour before the clock struck midnight with their friends and family. Everything was flawless.

Kyla Bloyer and I had the pleasure of working with Brittni Harding, Catering Sales Manager during Kyla’s one year engagement period. Brittni is professional and amazing in ways that I cannot begin to describe. She answered questions and addressed all of our concerns–-expedient follow-up. We highly recommend Brittni Harding with her incredible and efficient planning skills as well as Courtyard Marriott, Carolina Beach and Cape Ballroom (venues) for any future brides that may be contemplating planning a beach wedding. Divine Perfection!!!!

Eric Brydon, the Wedding Photographer & Jonathan Herman, By the Sea DJ were fantastic as well.

My husband and I chose to have our wedding reception at the Courtyard in Carolina Beach in October 2014 and knew that we would receive remarkable service for our event. We chose the Courtyard primarily for the services they offered and the comfort of knowing that if our dream beach wedding would have been rained out we were able to move the ceremony inside to the banquet rooms. Thankfully we did not have to and we were able to have our special day out on the beach, but the security in knowing that we could have moved was what sealed the deal for us. We worked with the Event planning staff specifically Brittni Harding. She was amazing to work with and helped us with every detail of not only our wedding, but especially the reception. That was another reason we chose the Courtyard, because we knew that their service was pretty much turn key. The only thing we had to worry about organizing was telling the venders we used for the chairs and arbor on the beach when and where to set up. Brittni took care of everything else. I would highly recommend this venue for not only the impeccable services we received and the special treatment for our special day, but also for the uniqueness of the location, and the beauty of the venue location.

The Courtyard by Marriott was the perfect location for our May wedding. Our ceremony was on the beach directly in front of the hotel. The staff was extremely helpful getting everyone lined up for that and making sure all of our guests knew where to go. Our cocktail hour was located on their patio which was a great setting. Reception was in the ballroom. Every decoration I had was set up in the right place, I can really tell they went above and beyond to ensure every detail was right. If something went wrong I wasn't made aware of it and couldn't tell either way. The staff was unbelievable! My husband and I had food served to us even though we chose the buffet option. Our drinks were always full. Britney was great to deal with in the planning process, she answered all 100 questions I had and was very helpful getting our room block together. The food was absolutely delicious!! Their chef is great and he was very helpful when we had to choose our menu at our tasting. Overall it was the perfect experience.

Brittni was amazing! Words cant describe how awesome she is. My wedding went amazing and if there was a problem I had no idea. She went above and beyond to make sure the wedding was perfect. Thanks!

Exellent Service provided for my wedding. It came out to be better than I expected. Thank you so much!

Brittni Drake and the rest of the staff at the Marriott made my wedding day absolutely perfect. They were helpful in ways that I wasn't expecting and I would not have had or done anything differently! If I could give a rating higher than 5 I most definitely would! It was perfect!

The Courtyard Marriott in Carolina Beach, NC was absolutely the best choice for our wedding. Brandy and Abby are by far the most organized, flexible and helpful people to work with. Them, along with the staff at the Marriott made our day wonderful, beautiful and smooth. They even had a togo plate sent to our room for after the reception. It was perfect. I am incredibly grateful...so is my husband! Without Brandy, I'm sure I would have been a total basketcase!

I have never had so many people tell me that this is the first wedding they’ve been to where everything went perfectly.
