We are SO excited you are going to make the trip to Sarasota! Because our wedding weekend is during Sarasota's busy season, we highly recommend booking hotel/condos and rental cars as early as you can! When looking at where to stay, the main decision is if you want to be by the BEACH or if you want to be DOWNTOWN close to the reception! AIRPORT: Sarasota Bradenton Airport (SRQ) is in town. You can also check out Tampa Airport (TPA) (~ 1-1.5 hour drive) from Sarasota. DOWNTOWN options: We have reserved hotel blocks (walking distance from reception) at Aloft, Embassy Suites by Hilton, and The Sarasota Modern Hotel. See below. BEACH options: AirBnB/VRBO or condo rental on Siesta Key (wedding ceremony location + where Nicole's family lives), Longboat Key, or Lido Key. I highly recommend looking at a map to visualize the layout of Siesta Key/Sarasota to decide!

Flight

Sarasota Bradenton International

Sarasota Bradenton International Airport - SRQ is definitely the closest and easiest airport to fly into for our wedding! However, sometimes flying into Tampa is cheaper depending on where you fly from!

Flight

Tampa International

Tampa International Airport - Check out flights to TPA if you are planning to rent a car! They are sometimes cheaper or have more nonstop options than the smaller Sarasota airport. It is about an hour to an hour and 15 minutes from Sarasota.

Hotel

Westin Sarasota

100 Marina View Drive
Sarasota, Florida 34236
 

Westin Sarasota - Here is a link to the hotel closest to the wedding reception. ~2 min walk from the reception at the Ritz-Carlton. We do not have a hotel block here at this time, but if you want to stay here (amazing rooftop pool and bar, and beach shuttle!), book soon because they said they sell out NYE weekend every year! Additionally, there are multiple other hotel options we do not have room blocks at in downtown Sarasota such as the Hotel Indigo, Hyatt Regency, and Art Ovation Hotel. The reception is at the Ritz-Carlton, but they are sold out of rooms for that weekend as of right now.

House Or Rental

Siesta Key AirBnB

Siesta Key AirBnB - Check out AirBnBs near the beach on the famous Siesta Key! If you decide to stay on Siesta Key, I recommend being near the Siesta Key Village! The Village is a cute little walkable strip on Ocean Blvd and has gifts shops, restaurants/bars (The Cottage, The Hub, Daiquiri Deck, Siesta Key Oyster Bar, etc), and dessert shops (Olaf's Ice Cream) to explore. There are currently rentals walkable to both the village and the beach, but they book fast!

House Or Rental

VRBO

There are some really good options on here that are walking distance to the Village or the beach!

House Or Rental

Condo Rentals

Condo Rentals - We have found many condos to rent on Siesta Key in the past on this rental website. Perfect for large groups or families! They tend to rent really quickly though so book soon if you can! You can search on Siesta Key if you want to be near the beach or on the Sarasota mainland.

House Or Rental

Siesta 4-Rent

6555 Midnight Pass Road
Sarasota, FL 34242
 (941) 349-5500

A place to find more rental houses! A lot of these have 1 week stay minimums, but not all of them.

House Or Rental

Siesta Key Luxury Rental Properties

Siesta Key, FL 34242
 (941) 349-1125

More condos for rent. These also have mostly 1 week minimums, so if you search for less than 7 days when you input dates, nothing may show up!

For all the days along the way
