Why You'll Love This Place

A Here Comes The Guide Wedding Venue Review

If you can’t imagine getting married anywhere but at a waterfront oasis, you’ll definitely want to pay a visit to Zachari Dunes on Mandalay Beach. The entire luxury resort is built right next to the ocean, with nothing between it and the water but a wide strip of sand. Almost every ceremony here takes place seaside on either a broad semicircle of lawn or right on the sand. As the couple shares their vows, guests can’t help but be uplifted by the scenery: a sunlit shoreline dotted with palms, the Channel Islands in the distance, sailboats gliding by and maybe even some dolphins playing in the surf.

If you prefer a more sheltered spot, tie the knot in the Courtyard, an enclosed garden where tropical palms, flowers and the sound of rushing water from two rock waterfalls accompany your ceremony.

Receptions are usually held in one of the resort’s two elegant ballrooms, each with a beautiful pre-function foyer, where your guests can enjoy cocktails and hors d’oeuvres or linger for a private chat. Meanwhile, your wedding party can explore the many terrific photo opportunities that make the most of this site’s lighting, architecture, gardens and seashore.

One of the benefits of a wedding at Zachari Dunes is treating your visiting friends and family to a mini-vacation. They’ll be delighted by the usually fine weather, sparkling swimming pool with cabanas, and beach time. The all-suites accommodations are spacious and modern, and each has its own balcony or patio.

Other on-site pleasures include a range of dining options, from the refined Ox & Ocean culinary destination, to the casual fun of Sugar Beats, a converted Airstream trailer and patio, with cocktails, brews and Cali-inspired snacks. You can even rent surf gear, yard games and much more right from the resort, so after the festivities wind down, you and your loved ones can really savor your sublime Zachari Dunes experience and all that this wonderful setting has to offer.
