About Our Guests: 

In 2019, Janet and Karen were thrilled to purchase Seashell Cottages, bringing with them over 15 years of experience in the hospitality industry. Since 2008, they have welcomed thousands of travelers for beach vacations as owner/operators of multiple properties. Known as "The Shell," their venue has long been cherished as a beloved summer vacation destination for those who love all that Old Orchard Beach has to offer.

After feeling the magic of The Shell themselves, Janet and Karen realized that after 13 years together, they wanted to get married on the beach in Old Orchard Beach and celebrate with friends and family on their property. On June 18th, 2021—exactly 15 years from the day they met—they tied the knot, and it was during this celebration that the vision for Seashell Events was born. Now, they are excited and honored to share the magic of this special property with couples for their wedding celebrations.
