The Grace River Island team was an absolute pleasure to work with from start to finish. They were punctual, attentive, and truly cared about making our wedding day special. The venue itself is absolutely stunning, with breathtaking sunsets and a private, intimate feel that was perfect for our medium-sized wedding. We booked the venue for a long weekend, which allowed us to spend quality time with our guests beyond just the wedding day. The large eating areas, pool, and picturesque scenery made Grace River Island the ideal location for our wedding celebration. I cannot recommend this venue enough - it exceeded our expectations in every way.

Powel Crosley Estate 

5.0

Sarasota, FL
  • Up to 800 guests
  • Select services
  • Indoor & outdoor
  • Starts at $4,500

Powel Crosley built the Florida winter home for his wife, Gwendolyn, in 1929. The two-and-a-half-story Mediterranean mansion was built in the southwest corner of Bradenton on a 60-acre parcel of land on Sarasota Bay adjacent to the John Ringling Estate. The 11,000-square-foot home has 21 rooms and 10 baths, and an adjacent carriage house has room for three cars and servants' quarters on the second floor. Originally the mansion had a swimming pool, a seaplane dock and yacht basin. The home featured many innovations for its time, including a steel frame encased in cast stone, embedded pipes and wiring, and a 135-day construction schedule. Placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982, Seagate was saved from commercial development and purchased for renovation by Manatee County, which operates it as a meeting, conference and event venue.

I really am speechless when it comes to the Powel Crosley. I am so incredibly thankful we hosted our destination wedding here with them. I wish I wouldve taken more time on my special day to really marvel at all of the estate. There is so much beauty every which way you turn! The staff was so helpful from the moment we booked with them and on the wedding day. Looking back at our photos, I know this was worth every single penny. Book the lawn, your pictures will be outstanding.

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 absolutely LOVED having our wedding at Isla del Sol. The outdoor, waterside ceremony space is absolutely beautiful, and the indoor ballroom for our reception was spacious and perfect to host our guests with lots of room for dinner and dancing! We took advantage of the option for a bonfire on the beach after the ceremony, which was a unique and fun after-party! The food at Isla was delicious, as well. Melissa is the best and made the wedding planning process so easy from our initial tour of the venue to the day of the wedding. She is kind, professional, and prompt with responding to all of our questions throughout the year leading up to the wedding. She helped us to find a lot of of the vendors we ended up hiring, as well. Do not hesitate to book this venue!! Our wedding was a dream come true thanks to everyone at Isla del Sol!

The Hotel Zamora 

4.0

Saint Pete Beach, FL
  • Up to 175 guests
  • All-inclusive
  • Indoor & outdoor

This is the newest boutique hotel in St. Pete Beach, we pride ourselves on our stunning rooftop views, exceptional food, and attention to detail. We have a beautiful rooftop event space overlooking the Gulf of Mexico and unique settings that will cater to the most intimate of celebrations.

Overall, the planning process was easy, and the team was very communicative. There were a few hiccups with booking our room block (related to the quoted rate and the site not letting guests book longer than the weekend nights), but once that was resolved most everything else was smooth sailing. The venue is stunning - our guests enjoyed the rooms and food. And even though we had to make the last minute call to move our welcome reception indoors due to the weather, the Zamora team made it happen and it ended up being great! The only things I would improve was that there was not enough shade for our morning rooftop wedding and there were issues with the audio. We knew having an August wedding in Florida would be hot, but there needs to be more shade options on the rooftop - it is such a beautiful venue and makes for stunning photos, but we were all miserably hot! The issues with audio were due to the AV guy not knowing how to hook my laptop with all my playlists up to the sound system. Frustrating but my day of coordinator stepped in and did the best she could to salvage it.
