The Shores Resort & Spa Reviews

I fell in love with this venue for many reasons. I loved the view from the ocean terrace and the reception rooms were equally beautiful, one overlooking the ocean and the other overlooking the river and city. Minimal decor was needed because of how elegant the structure (bones) of this venue was. I would recommend this location to couples who want that perfect balance between beach and city. I worked mostly with Donna and she was accommodating. I highly recommend hiring at least a day-of coordinator to ensure your big day runs smoothly.

I have nothing but positive things to say about having my wedding at The Shores Resort and Spa! Everything was such a pleasant experience from the initial visit to tour and ask questions to the actual day! Donna Crane is an angel! She is so friendly and helpful! I had so many questions and she happily answered them all! She and Lisa helped me set up my room blocks for guests and menu tasting. She stayed in contact with me in the months, weeks, and days before the wedding to make sure everything was in order. I unknowingly booked on the weekend of a huge cheer competition and they helped me switch to a different weekend where it would not be as busy and more rooms were available for my out of town guests. I also had a couple of last minute hiccups and she helped me settle them.

The room for the bride and ladies in the wedding party to get ready was great. It is on the same floor as the ballrooms. That was very convenient since I was setting up all of the decorations myself. The only nuisance was that hotel guests just exploring kept coming to the rooftop floor to check it out and four separate groups of people walked into our spaces to look around even after they saw that we were having a wedding up there. Not a big deal but kind of annoying to have strangers in your business..

The food at the reception was delicious. The servers and bartender were especially attentive to me and my husband at the sweetheart table. The entire staff was friendly and attentive from arrival to departure. From the valet and the reception clerk, to the servers and bartender. Even the workers I saw in the halls were very friendly. Our room was amazing with a beautiful ocean view.

I had always dreamed of a beach wedding with the ocean in the background, but it had been storming all week. Donna and the staff still made sure that our indoor ceremony was just as nice despite the weather. The pergola and outdoor ceremony and cocktail space is very pretty and roped off so people from the hotel won't accidentally walk into your event. The indoor ceremony/reception space is a spacious ballroom with large windows overlooking either the river or ocean. We had 50 guests and it could have easily accommodated many more people. The dance floor was a good size. The open bar was fabulous! All of my guests commented that the bartender was very friendly and attentive to the guests' requests.

Overall, everyone was very happy with this venue and its staff. Special shoutout to Donna and Lisa! I even had some local guests who liked the place so much that they said they were going to visit again by themselves. My husband and I will be here every year on our anniversary since we only live an hour away! Great location and experience!

This venue is amazing! They worked with our budget and has backups prepared in case of weather. Donna was superb through the whole planning process !

Our wedding was held in the Atlantic Room with all windows overlooking the ocean. The people at The Shores were absolutely fantastic, especially Donna Crane who worked with us to plan it and make sure everything was just right.

Everyone at The Shores was so friendly and accommodating. The venue was gorgeous and Donna Crane did an amazing job of arranging it all for us. We LOVE The Shores!

I had my dream wedding at The Shores and can not say enough good things about it! Carley was so wonderful to work with, she responded to my e-mails quickly and always made me feel like I was special not just another bride. The food was amazing, best wedding food I ever had. The staff was very helpful and the hotel itself is beautiful. It was the first and only venue we looked at and we knew it had to be at The Shores. We stayed there with most of our guests for the whole weekend and there is no better resort on Daytona Beach. We will be back!

Great staff! Fantastic food! Amazing planning/organization!

My husband and I were married March 19th, 2016 and had the rehearsal dinner, ceremony and reception at the hotel and we had over 150 guests from out of town that stayed at the hotel. Our wedding weekend was perfect! we could not have been more pleased with the service for each event of the weekend. Everything was organized and looked perfect on wedding day! We could not be more pleased with Owen, who was the wedding coordinator. He was professional, reliable, and attentive to every last detail. The food was awesome and all the staff were friendly during the reception. Multiple friends and family have all commented how beautiful the wedding was and how fluid was conducted all thanks to Owen and the staff at The Shores Resort and Spa. I would recommend this venue to anyone looking to have a beautiful beach side wedding.

Carley and her team are absolutely amazing, and the venue itself is gorgeous! Carley is very knowledgeable, organized, and professional! When we toured venues, we knew this was the right one for us mostly because we wanted to work with Carley - the venue being beautiful and on the beach was another added bonus!

The food was delicious, the views and the resort are gorgeous, and the wedding and events team is wonderful to work with. We could not have asked for more.

We recently got married at the Shores Resort & Spa on 6/26/15. It was such a beautiful venue. We like that everything was in one place and that our guests didn't have to make any additional travel arrangements since this was already a destination wedding (we're from CO). Our event coordinator was Carley Rodriguez and she is amazing! Since we did most of our planning via email/phone calls it was crucial that every little detail was crossed off the list. Carley and her team answered any and all questions promptly which gave us piece of mind. Although due to weather we didn't get to be married outside - Carley worked with our other vendors to ensure we received the next best thing and it looked just as amazing! Our reception was beautiful and the space was amazing overlooking the Atlantic Ocean. Our guests absolutely loved the place. We all can't wait to come back for a visit! Thanks for everything! Jen & Daniel - CO

Owen and his team at The Shores were AMAZING to work with!

From the beautifully remodeled rooms to the amazing food to the incredible staff. They go above and beyond to make every special event THE special event...even if they have a dozen going on at the same time.

Truly amazing!

This place provided a gorgeous view for our wedding ceremony and also the reception. Customer service was top notch and we look forward to having events here in the future!

A wonderful little gem in the Daytona Beach area! My wedding day was fantastic and all the guests enjoyed the accommodations! The staff was very friendly and very easy to work with through out the planning process. Could not have asked for a better venue for my wedding!

The Shores Resort & Spa helped make our wedding absolutely perfect. Since this was a destination wedding many of our folks came in several days early to enjoy the resort. Even though it rained for a few of the days, the Resort had more than enough space to entertain all of our guests. One thing I will suggest is that if you're the Bride & Groom, book the large balcony room on the corners closest to the outside ceremony location. These rooms have an amazing balcony that make for a romantic setting.

The shores resort & Spa was the perfect place for my wedding it is definitely a 4 star Hotel! The services were excellent. The food was delicious. The weeding coordinator, Jackie Neill was fantastic. The rooms were beautiful. It is beachfront and you can't beat that!!

The Shores was absolutely the perfect place to have a wedding.

Everything was incredibly beautiful and everyone was so professional and kind and wonderful.

Jackie, our coordinator was amazing! She was such a calming presence when things got crazy and she was so willing to work with us to ensure our day was everything we envisioned.

This is THE BEST place for your wedding! Brittiny did an amazing job and everyone is still talking about The Shores. Can't wait to go back for another stay or event.

Wonderful venue, the team at The Shores, headed by Michelle Waddell was flawless and made the day so easy and special for us and all of our guests. The team at the spa did beautiful hair and make up and treated us all as VIP's. We got married outside on the patio at the resort on a beautiful day in the 80's - the morning got warm and Michelle and her team made sure that guests were taken care of and brought out umberella's which had not been in the plan. This was just one small example of the care they took, the entire staff were great and nothing was too much trouble.

Would recommend without hesitation

My husband and I just fell in love with this location the minute we saw it. Brittiny and the staff really did an incredible job with the reception. It was more beautiful than we ever imagined. Everyone was so nice and very helpful from start to finish. The food was absolutely amazing and was not the super small portions we had expected from a 4 star resort. Everyone, from guests to vendors, were just in awe of this location and everyone working there.

We am go glad we chose The Shores Resort and Spa for our wedding venue. We could not have asked for a better venue, the weather was beautiful and the spaces where the ceremony and reception were held were beautiful! Brittany, the event manager, really worked with us and answered any question we had along the way. She even wrote us a sweet note and sent a bottle of champagne to our room after the event ended. My guests were impressed with the beauty of the venue and I received so many compliments on how everything came together. I could not have done it without the team at The Shores Resort and Spa. My wedding was perfect, thank you!!

The Shores Resort and Spa in Daytona Beach was like love at first sight. That was the first venue we looked at... nothing else even compared to it when we visited. It was perfect for us - we wanted the beach theme without the mess of the sand. We did have our pictures taken on the beach, which turned out great! This venue is not the cheapest by any means, however, you get what you pay for!! Everything about it was beautiful and magical!

This is a beautiful location for a wedding and great place to stay. Everyone is amazing! They make you feel at home! The wedding coordinators were wonderful! I always knew everything was getting taken care of and they always got back to me when I had any questions! My guests absolutly loved the Resort! I could not have asked for a more wonderful venue! There reception rooms have breath taking floor to ceiling window view! Elegant yet affordable! Highly recommend!

We looked for several venues before deciding to sign at The Shores. The location and the panorama was beautiful. We stay at the hotel in few occasions before engagement and we love the place. Joshua was great as well the rest of the staff. They made the day of the wedding run smooth. My guest were very please with setting and accommodation. Food was excellent. I will recommend the Shores Resort & Spa to any bride that will like a romantic and classy wedding.

I could not say better things about this venue. Josh and the staff at the Shores provided me with all the attention and an eye for detail any bride could ask for. The have such beautiful ceremony and reception rooms, but we also used the hotel for rehearsal dinner and brunch. They provided each event something unique. But the wedding ceremony and reception were just over the top.

The Shores was absolutely amazing!!!!! Josh was the best. I couldn't have had a better person in charge of coordinating everything. He made sure the entire day ran smoothly. My guests complimented the kind & courteous staff. I relied on Josh for EVERYTHING because I had a destination wedding. I only met him twice but his professionalism made me rest assure that everything would be OK. Being out of town, i relied heavily on communicating through email and phone. He always responded promptly. I would highly recommend Josh Williams and The Shores for any event you may have....especially your wedding.
