Travel Recommendations

Sarasota Bradenton International Airport (SRQ)
SRQ is the closest airport to the venues, but some people may prefer to go to Tampa or St. Pete for better flights and/or prices.

Hotel
Compass Hotel Anna Maria Sound
There are many places to stay on Bradenton Beach/ Anna Maria Island. For those interested in staying in the same hotel as the Bride and Groom, this is the hotel Jamie and José and some family will be staying. Please note, Compass is not walking distance to the venues, but for guests staying at Compass, transportation will be provided to and from the venues. For those who might prefer lower cost options, or options that are closer to the venues, there are many Air B & Bs and other hotels in the area. We have listed a few additional hotel options below.
Hotel
Tortuga Inn Beach Resort
Hotel
BridgeWalk - A Landmark Resort
Travel Note
Anna Maria Island Trolley
For those staying on Anna Maria Island (AMI), the AMI Trolley provides free transportation all over the island. For more information, please see the link below.
Travel Note
Monkey Bus
The company we are using for the shuttle service is Monkey Bus. They are also an inexpensive alternative to Uber. For those not staying on Anna Maria Island/ Bradenton Beach (like those staying at the Compass), it is my understanding it can be difficult to get Ubers to take you across bridges, so I would suggest saving Monkey Bus's dispatch number in your phone: 941-565-6542. This number is also helpful in case people need to leave earlier and don't want to wait for the shuttle, you can call that number and they should be able to pick you up by about 20 minutes after you call.
