Awarded Best of Zola
We recently had our wedding at the Marriott Sand Key Resort in Clearwater, Florida, and I have to say, it was truly a lovely experience. The resort is right on the water, and the views are absolutely stunning. From the moment we booked our venue, the staff was friendly and attentive. They made sure everything ran smoothly, which really allowed us to enjoy our special day without any stress. Our wedding coordinator, Larissa was amazing and so patient. The ceremony took place outside, and the way they set up the area with flowers and decorations just felt magical. The reception was held indoors, and the space was beautifully decorated. There was plenty of room for dancing, and the food was delicious. We were impressed with how well everything was prepared. Our guest is still talking about it! One of the highlights for me was how seamless everything felt. The timeline was well-planned, and there was a nice flow to the evening, from the cocktail hour to the dancing. It felt like a celebration that everyone thoroughly enjoyed. Overall, I would highly recommend the Marriott Sand Key Resort for weddings. It's a beautiful location with great service, and it made for a memorable day for us and all our guests.
