    Highly Recommend!!!

    From the moment we started working with the Marriott, we have had the best experience. We worked with Jenna, the sales manager, a lot and she was also so responsive and helpful with anything we needed. I honestly was not stressed the week of the wedding because I felt like she was so helpful and trusted her to make sure all of my requests were met. She even came to our welcome reception to greet our guests and hand them drink tickets. A few weeks before the wedding, we met Dan, the banquet coordinator, who was absolutely fantastic and so helpful in helping us envision our room set up. He stayed the day before our wedding to set up the room early and it was flawless. He stood at the door of our reception when guests arrived to help direct them to their seats. His hard work and dedication to what he does was truly evident. I feel that Jenna and Dan truly went above and beyond to ensure we had our dream wedding.

    Joanna was also very helpful with our wedding room block as she is very responsive and quickly assisted with anyone hotel room needs for either my guests or myself. All of the hotel staff including front desk, valet, bartenders, servers etc were also amazing throughout our stay. We got SO many compliments from our guests about how welcoming, friendly, and helpful all the Marriott staff was. Even the maids were amazing and so warm and welcoming.

    From the moment we arrived at the Marriott for our wedding weekend, we were greeted by Wilmer, who was beyond helpful is unloading our car and transferring multiple items into our hotel room and he was present throughout the weekend to assist us with any other needs we had. Also, Rick and Ricardo were amazing bartenders, super friends, accommodating and truly helped to make our wedding into a full weekend event full of fun and everlasting memories.

    All in all I could not have asked for a better weekend with the support of the Marriott!! I would recommend this group to anyone and hope to be back to visit again soon! The venue itself is beautiful and we had a pool party the next day that all of our guests really enjoyed too!

    wow! hire them!

    Wow! Where do I even start. The venue is gorgeous and is one of the few places in the Bay Area that can hold a medium to large wedding with a direct water view without stepping on the beach- this was our main draw to this location but far exceeded our expectations. We initially worked with Jess who was fantastic but she moved on to a different job earlier this year. Grace Owens took over and blew us away. She made the transition easy and made sure we were all on the same page with everything we had spoken about with Jess. I showed her my vision of what I wanted the day to look like and we were both excited! She was easy to work with and kept us updated and various points. They have a set menu for food, but did allow customization for our appetizers! We did not hire a wedding planner as my mom and I planned everything, but Grace and Dan (Banquet manager) went above and beyond wedding weekend. They helped setup the room how I envisioned (from folding the napkins a specific way to setting up my sweetheart table based on a Pinterest picture and everything in between) and made my fairy tale wedding come true! I could have not asked for better people to work with. And the staff was such a delight. Although we made it to our cocktail hour, we were trying to thank everyone and didn't have time to eat before our sunset pictures and one of the servers saw this, stopped us asked what we wanted to eat. He grabbed a large plate of it, brought it to the lobby so that we could down it real quick, and told us to leave it when we were done. These are just examples of things staff did that were above and beyond. It wasn't just isolated towards us, we got multiple compliments from our guests that staff was very accommodating and professional. If you want a place that has a gorgeous view, excellent people to work with that can be trusted, staff that is professional and delightful to everyone, and can make your wedding dreams come true book with the Marriott! Not to mention the perks of having your friends and family stay at the hotel and getting to celebrate with them the entire weekend! Seriously, can't speak highly enough- thank you to everyone at the Marriott (especially Grace and Dan)!

    We LOVED our whole wedding weekend at this Marriott! We had a bumpy start, however everything worked out excellent the weekend of. Along the way, we were switched to 3 different Sales and Catering Managers (due to turnover). Additionally, the room booking manager would only release up to 3 rooms at a time in our block, and given that it was a destination wedding, it often showed our block as "sold out" when it was not, which resulted in us having to make several phone calls, my family and bridesmaids also calling, and the room booking manager never returned any of our calls. However, once Amy Kirkwood took over as the newest Sales/Catering Manager, we had a 180 turnaround with our experience, including her working with the booking manager to make some shifts. She was INCREDIBLE to work with! She was prompt, responsiveness, and followed up on everything we asked about/for. Fast forward to the day of the wedding and Amy was available whenever I needed her. The staff at the Marriott was TOP NOTCH, and we were on a first name basis with everyone from valet, check-in, bar managers, servers, etc.! Our guests also all commented on how friendly and fun the staff was, and what a great time they had at the hotel. We honestly felt like VIPs all weekend. We truly could not have asked for a better or more beautiful venue. The veranda for the ceremony was breathtaking (and we were allowed to decorate the arch, chairs, etc. how we wanted). The space for the reception was wonderful, as we had the ballroom and the whole hallway outside to ourselves. Our guests still comment about how much they loved the venue, and my husband and I are making plans to try and come back for our 1 year anniversary. Thank you all for such an amazing weekend!

    It is a BEAUTIFUL venue for a wedding reception. Every wedding I've ever been to something has gone wrong. NOTHING went wrong at our wedding and it was perfect and beautiful and ran so smooth. Danielle was so awesome and she made sure everything ran so smoothly and also let us decorate the place with "extras" however we wanted. The lady that set up the room even asked us an opinion on the way the napkins were set up. We did our ceremony on the beach through a vendor that this Marriott recommends (Beach Wedding by Jules) and our beach wedding ceremony was absolutely perfect! The marriott staff is awesome and they were so nice to all our guests even those not staying in the hotel. It is a stunning reception venue and it's perfect!

    Jena was phenomenal to work with, she responded quickly to emails and calls and made me feel very at ease especially towards the end. The Marriott is a beautiful venue, we were able to have our cocktail hour outside on the patio which was gorgeous. The room size was perfect for our group of 100 and the dance floor was huge! Everyone loved the food and the service. I wouldn't change a thing if I had to do it all over again!

    The Marriott Suites on Sand Key was a phenomenal place for our wedding weekend! Jena was our coordinator and helped walk me through the entire process and constantly checked in the day of to ensure that everything was running smoothly. The entire staff the day of was so polite and truly made our special day one to remember. I highly recommend this venue to anyone looking for a waterfront ceremony as it has that, without all the sand!

    The whole Marriott staff was very helpful, accommodating and GREAT to work with. It was my daughter's wedding and they did everything possible to make it a wonderful experience and time. I hope to go back to this location for just a vacation at some point.

    Thanks again to everyone - Jena, Michael at the front desk, Michael the bartender, tiffany to just name a few that I had the pleasure of having them help me,

    The Marriott is the best and most accommodating hotel. Sara Huberty was fabulous and so professional. She went above and beyond coordinating our wedding. When our florist didn't show up, she took care of it for us and saved the day! This hotel's staff and Sara are simply amazing. My family, friends and I highly recommend them for your wedding or for a beach weekend. They're awesome!

    We had our wedding in May at the Marriott sand key! We worked with Lauren and she was the best to work with! She answered all my questions so timely and was definitely there for me whenever I needed anything! The service was impeccable on my big day and the day turned out perfect thanks to Lauren and her team!

    I loved this venue - it fit exactly what we wanted for our wedding - elegant but casual. Lauren Heinz, our coordinator, worked with us every step of the way. She answered every question we had and within hours. As a DIY Bride - this was very important to me. I am most grateful that even though the weather looked iffy for our ourdoor ceremony, Lauren was ready at a moment's notice to accommodate our wishes (indoor or outdoor ceremony). Luckily we were able to have the ceremony outdoors as planned. The food was outstanding - not what you expect from a wedding. Many of our guests commented on how good the food was and stated that they wished they had doggie bags - LOL!

    The whole process from booking the venue to the tasting to the wedding itself was flawless. The Marriott Sand Key was outstanding and we thank them for making our wedding spectacular!
    We look forward to coming back here year after year to celebrate our anniversary.

    We had our December wedding at the Marriott and it was a great venue. It was the largest wedding they ever had (240 guests) but did a fantastic job. Throughout the planning Lauren was very well organized and responded to questions quickly. Overall, we were extremely satisfied and would recommend the Marriott to all Brides!

    Marriott SandKey & Lauren were so wonderful for my wedding. She made the process easy and answered all of my questions along the way. She made sure that everything was perfect. She was so professional, responsive and if I needed anything she was right there to help. She puts in the effort and really wants to make sure her brides are taken care of throughout the whole hotel. I can't say thank you enough!

    Lauren and the team at the Marriott could not have done a better job. Lauren put every detail we talked about into action and was so helpful and organized! From the moment we arrived at the hotel everyone was so friendly and the staff was excellent. The food at our cocktail hour and reception was the best wedding food EVER. I recommend the Filet Mignon and the Florida Grouper which both come from the award winning WaterColors restaurant in the hotel. They were delicious!! The Marriott exceeded my expectations in every way! Thank you!!

    We reside in Ft. Lauderdale FL, but I am originally from NJ & my husband NC so after about 6 months of searching for the perfect vendor in Ft. Lauderdale, we decided to take the 5 hour drive and take a change on the Marriott Sand Key & we couldn't be more thankful we did. We walked in and knew instantly that this was it, this was the place we were going to become husband and wife. The hotel at the time was even a little bit out dated, but by the time the wedding came around we were absolutely amazed by all the remodeling they did. It was perfect! When we signed we were originally working with Courtney who we loved, then we got a phone call saying she was transferred and we would now be working with Lauren Heinz. Let me tell you how nervous I was because It was top of my list on choosing a location. But when I tell you she was ABSOLUTELY AMAZING I mean she was nothing short of that. She was always there to talk to when we had a question and did everything she could for us prior and during the wedding. I knew of other friends that got married at other Marriott hotels, and they had to set up all their stuff (card table, centerpieces etc) themselves, but Lauren collected all my stuff day before and handled it all herself, & everything looked absolutely amazing. It didn't matter to her what anyone else said, she knew what I wanted and made sure I got it! It was truly a pleasure to work with her, and if I ever have another big event I plan on going back just because I enjoyed so much working with Lauren. Thank you again, for all your hard work for our special day..we will be forever grateful! :)
