Our wedding was 2/1/25 and we couldn't have asked for a better experience. Grace River Island was the perfect backdrop for our wedding celebration. From the moment we first contacted them, the team was attentive, helpful, and responsive in every way. Skye, the venue coordinator, made sure all the details were taken care of so we could truly enjoy our special day. The venue itself is beautifully maintained, with a stunning natural setting that was ideal for our ceremony. Our family stayed on the island for 4 days and found the resort had all the amenities we needed, including a gorgeous bridal suite. The sunsets over the water were truly breathtaking. We couldn't have asked for a more perfect place to say "I do." We highly recommend Grace River Island to any couple looking for a picturesque and stress-free wedding experience.

Tween Waters was an absolute dream. We had our wedding on the beach (5:30 PM) and reception (6:00-10:00 PM) in the Wakefield Room. Logistically, it was so nice to have everything, including lodging, on the same property. It cut down transportation time between venues like other weddings I've been to. We structured our wedding day so that the entire morning, we spent time with our loved ones at the beach, and got meals with family on site which was so relaxing and fun. We wanted our wedding to feel like a family vacation and Tween helped us achieve everything. We worked with Debra who is beyond amazing. She made sure we had everything we needed and worked above and beyond to ensure our day was incredible. All of the guests raved about the food and desserts. We opted to get a spread of Tween's desserts instead of a wedding cake because we love having options and are so glad we went that route. Tween is also extremely detail-oriented, especially if you have guests with food allergies. Our guests who stayed on the property had an absolute blast, and many of them now want to make Tween a part of their family vacations. Tween has many different package options that are customizable depending on your guest count and preferences. Getting ready in an ocean-facing cottage was out of this world amazing and relaxing. Staying on the property allowed flexibility in my outfit change and was able to rinse the sand off our feet before the reception. We were also able to get amazing sunset photographs in my second outfit. Our only regret is that we wish we had extended our stay by a few days after the wedding. We didn't want to leave!

We had our wedding at The Tree House as a destination wedding. Communication was a little rocky throughout the planning process; I had to reach out for everything, as not very much was readily explained. I spent a lot of time planning and making my own things. Because of this, I was nervous about how the wedding would turn out. However, it was absolutely beautiful and it all came together due to their help and setup. They had wonderful vendors- the photographer, baker, food, DJ, and servers were all amazing. The day was perfect and I wouldn’t change anything.

We cannot stop raving about the venue and staff at the Sarasota Art Museum! From the Director to the volunteers, everyone was so friendly, helpful, and hard working. This occurred from our initial consultation and fact-finding inquiries and visits. This continued through the planning and implementation process of our event! Never did I ever imagine how smooth everything would go. Laura always provided the details and clarification of anything that I may have missed or just needed additional information on and the security staff worked efficiently to make sure we were able to store necessary items in a safe location for before and after our event. Carolyn and her kitchen/catering staff with Constellations Catering Group were phenomenal! We do not say this lightly! Carolyn was super communicative and at any point and time was able to be reached quickly when needed. I have never met a friendlier more down to earth person while still making sure that the business needs are still addressed professionally and promptly. THANK YOU CAROLYN! From A to Z, the food and service were superb and on point. The Kitchen and catering staff are highly recommended. They catered to our every need and the food is the best that I have ever experienced in my 30 years of attending business and personal events. We continue to get raving compliments from our guests about the wonderful service and simply delicious food that we enjoyed during our event on 04/20/2024! Thank you again to the entire Team! You all outdid yourselves, and we are truly grateful for your wonderful hospitality!

I cannot express how incredibly wonderful my wedding was at the Club at Grandezza and I don’t even know where to begin. I originally chose this venue based off of the ceremony space. After growing up going to Sanibel, I found a venue that gave me old Sanibel vibes and I was sold. From the palms and greenery, to the stairs that give the perfect walk-down-the-aisle moment. From there, the reception area was everything I could have asked for and more. Light blues, white and airy - an absolute dream. Having a huge dedicated bridal suite the day of was also a huge game changer. Whatever I pictured in my head as my wedding day, the venue blew it out of the water and exceeded it — but I’d be remiss to not mention those behind it. Sadie - Sadie was an absolute rockstar and a big piece of why our day was so amazing. She runs a tight ship and it is so evident the pride she takes in her work. I can’t think of a single thing that went ‘wrong’ and that is such a rarity on wedding days. She kept our timeline in check, set up all of my little details, and was just so accommodating to me throughout the year, especially being an out of state bride. If you have the opportunity to work with Sadie, you are very lucky. The food - the FOOD! I never ever hear people talk about food after a wedding, and people were RAVING. The steak, the grouper, the apps (lobster was a massive hit!)… the list goes on. I wish I could relive this day over again just so I can take in every detail once again - forever grateful for this venue and the team. 1000000/10 recommend.

Vasari has a gem in their Banquet and Events Manager, Meghan McDowell. She was there for me from start to finish as I planned a surprise 60th Birthday Party for my sister who is battling cancer. Through tears and laughter, she helped me with ideas for a Hawaii themed event. I was connected with great vendors: Jenene created an amazing balloon arch, Sassy cakes with a Hawaiian themed cake, table settings that made the room so beautiful. And can we talk about the food? The Italian buffet was fantastic, and the themed hors-d’oeuvres cocktail hour was perfect and delicious. The staff was attentive and courteous to our guests. Overall, the Vasari event experience was by far, one of the best. I highly recommend them for your event!
