In Their Own Words

What our couples have to say about their Amarante’s Sea Cliff experience.

I fell in love with it.

“It was my dream to have my wedding right on the water (ocean), and as soon as I saw Amarante’s, I fell in love with it. It was so nice having our ceremony right on the lawn next to the water. We chose to get a wedding arch instead of using the gazebo for our altar, and it made for the most beautiful photos. This venue is absolutely gorgeous, and I found it to be very affordable for an all-inclusive venue. They created a custom vegan menu for us, and it was really great! So impressed with the beauty here and the team.”

Highly recommend!

“We are so blown away with our experience with Amarante’s. Their staff truly went above and beyond to make our day so special. I barely had to think about, stress, or worry about anything on our day because they took care of everything. They created a special custom vegan menu for us, and all the food was incredible. They put in a lot of time and effort to get the ingredients to put together a beautiful spread for us and our guests. Our coordinator Dominic was so incredibly responsive and helpful throughout leading up to the day. Our maître’ d, Ivan, was on top of everything the day of and was so incredibly helpful with absolutely anything and everything. The views are absolutely breathtaking. We had our photos after the ceremony right at sunset and it was just absolutely incredible! Highly recommend!”
