    The Cliffs Hotel & Spa was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding. Their communication style was detailed, thorough, and highly professional, which put us at ease throughout the planning process. The venue itself offered an open, majestic view of the ocean, creating a beautiful backdrop for our ceremony. The staff was very structured and efficient, ensuring everything ran smoothly on our special day. As a photographer, The Cliffs is one of my favorite venues to shoot at - Anna and her team make my job easy by anticipating our needs and making sure every detail is taken care of. I highly recommend this venue to any couple looking for a stunning oceanfront setting and a top-notch wedding experience.

    We got married at The Cliffs in 2013, and it was an absolutely beautiful day. Anna and her team ensured that every detail, big and small, was thoughtfully taken care of, allowing us to fully enjoy each moment. The Cliffs is an incredible resort for a beachfront wedding, with the flexibility of both indoor and outdoor reception spaces. Now that I work in the wedding industry, I have even more appreciation for The Cliffs and how dedicated they are to creating magical experiences for their couples. Their commitment to making each wedding day special truly shines through.
