<p>The Winds Resort also has the distinction of being #1 For Romance on TripAdvisor!</p>
<p>So grab that special someone and getaway for a romantic weekend at The Winds!</p>
<p>Here are just a few of the most recent comments:</p>
<p><span id="more-853"></span></p>
<p><strong>“Favorite place to vacation at any NC beach”</strong><br />
&#8220;Everything was very clean. The staff is friendly and the grounds are beautiful.&#8221;<br />
&#8220;Driving to the Winds is like entering your own paradise because the grounds are so lavish and maintained. The office staff is always friendly and helpful. We enjoy the slower pace at Ocean Isle, but Myrtle Beach is just minutes away! And we miss the breakfast buffet as soon as we are home.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Everything was very clean. The staff is friendly and the grounds are beautiful.  Two weddings took place during our visit and yet everything was still quiet and peaceful. I couldn&#8217;t have asked for a better vacation.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>“Great getaway for a couple”</strong><br />
The staff goes out of their way to get us an ocean view room. They are always so helpful and friendly. The rooms are clean and comfortable.</p>
<p><strong>“More Than You U Would Think!”</strong></p>
<p>Great selection. Clean oh yes very clean. Friendly oh yes everyone we met and I talked to everyone. The pools just right, the hot tub excellent, the Tiki bar just everything you could want and Friendly oh yes. We talked to a very caring fellow, down to earth&#8230; turned out he was the owner. Access to everything very easy and oh the beach&#8230; The breakfast was very good and again the people there were very friendly, helpful, and they smile. Just like the one lady says,&#8221;Best kept secret in, North Carolina, and very possible all U.S.A..&#8221; We will be back many times I hope.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>“Awesome Resort for a Destination Wedding”</strong><br />
&#8220;I recently had a beach wedding for my daughter at the Winds Resort in Ocean Isle beach, NC. It was a destination wedding with freinds and family coming in from all over the US.With the assistance of their wedding coorinator; it made it an easy process to plan the wedding, reception and accommodations for our guests. The entire experiance and event turned out better than I had ever expected. All our guest said they had a wonderful time and would not have changed a single thing. The Resort, their excellent staff and location made this a very memorable trip. I would highly recommend choosing this Resort; if you are planning a beach wedding or any large event. I am planning to return in the near future just to relax and vacation.&#8221;<br />
Room Tip: Ocean Front rooms have an amazing view</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://oceanislebeachweddings.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/weddingflowers.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-38" title="weddingflowers" src="http://oceanislebeachweddings.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/weddingflowers.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="200" /></a>As the on-site wedding planner/coordinator for The Winds Resort and Beach Club in Ocean Isle Beach, NC, my goal is to join with the couple in making the preparation of their wedding a fun-filled experience,</p>
<p>I believe that it is of the utmost importance to ensure that each dream wedding is fulfilled by creating a friendship and trust<span id="more-253"></span> that gives the couple, their family and friends the knowledge that  I will do everything possible to make it a perfect day.</p>
<p>The smiles, tears of joy and appreciation make it all worthwhile.</p>
<p>If you&#8217;re planning a beach wedding, you will surely want the best information you can get from a wedding coordinator that specializes in the wedding field: photographers, musicians, caterers and so on.</p>
<p>I&#8217;ll help you plan every detail in plenty of time while offering ideas in implementing each.  They can help you get the most out of your budget.</p>
<p>The Wedding Planner/Coordinator is especially helpful in carrying out details in the planning and coordinating of a destination wedding.  Having an on-site wedding planner/coordinator is a great benefit. They know their venue and what works best. They know the best of the best in vendor services to recommend i.e the planning of wedding ceremony &amp; reception, wedding cake specialty bakeries, photography, catering menus, florists, music, decorations, ministers, just to list a few.  They take care of the “leg work”-the vendor details and requirements.</p>
<p>Wedding Planner/Coordinators provide the Do&#8217;s and Don&#8217;ts in planning your wedding.  Preparing and assisting you in time lines, traditions, who pays for what, wedding party responsibilities, monthly calendar with completion dates for each detail.</p>
<p>A Wedding Planner/Coordinator eliminates the stress that comes with planning and carrying out details.  They allow the wedding party to show up and enjoy their special time. This comes in having trust in each other to create a special memory.</p>
<p>As the on-site wedding planner/coordinator for <a href="http://thewinds.com/weddings" target="_blank">The Winds Resort and Beach Club</a> in Ocean Isle Beach, NC, I bring my experience in wedding planning/coordinating in destination weddings and special events. I strive to ensure that each dream wedding is fulfilled by creating trust in the fact I go the extra mile to make it a perfect day.  The smiles, tears of joy and appreciation make it all worthwhile.</p>

<p>It’s truly a special place where memories are made, friends and family are brought closer, and a new life together will start.</p>
<p>The Winds Resort combines laid-back southern charm with a unique subtropical paradise. Our beautifully decorated rooms offer a spectacular view of the ocean and the gorgeous gardens surrounding the resort. We offer a variety of size rooms from one-bedroom suites to family style cottages so all of your family and friends can be close by and part of your special day.</p>
<p>Our resort is unique because we offer the luxuries of a large resort with the relaxing feel of home.  We want you to know your wedding is important to our staff. We display signs welcoming your wedding party by name, offer to place welcome baskets in your wedding guests’ rooms prior to check-in, and go out of our way to make sure your guests are at ease while you prepare for the big day.</p>
<p>We offer a vast array of amenities for relaxation, activities and dining during your stay at The Winds. Our resort features the Garden Bar Restaurant and Oceanfront Poolside Tiki-Bar; both offering a full menu, beverages, and tropical drinks.  A stay also includes a daily hot Southern breakfast. You can cool off and enjoy some tranquil time by one of our three pools. We have whirlpool spas, fitness room, shuffleboard, volleyball nets, BBQ stations for cookouts, ping-pong table, and complementary bicycles for use on the island for you and your wedding guests. In addition to our on site activities, our resort is located in the golf capital of the South, so your groom and his groomsmen can get in a round or two at a reduced rate.</p>
<p>The Winds is an ideal location for your beach wedding.  We are fully equipped to help plan and fulfill your dream. Our experienced wedding staff, which includes our free on-site wedding planner, can also help with your rehearsal dinner, bridal shower and or luncheon, vow renewal, or reception so you can sit back and enjoy your event.</p>
