Fort Lauderdale Marriott Pompano Beach Resort & Spa Reviews

The most perfect day! Absolutely gorgeous venue and excellent customer service. Fanci and the whole Marriott team were exceptionally attentive to each of our requests and wishes. We loved the convenience of having everything at the hotel- delicious rehearsal dinner in the restaurant, beautiful ceremony on the ocean terrace, and phenomenal reception in the ballroom. Thank you Marriott for a beautiful wedding weekend we will never forget!

The Marriott gave us the wedding of our dreams. After our previous venue had to cancel our wedding due to renovations, the Marriott was able to accommodate us and went above and beyond our expectations. We truly believe it was meant to be. Fanci and her team guided us through every step to ensure our big day was perfect. The beach is breathtaking and the ballroom was able to host our 130 guests comfortably with plenty of space to dance and hold a band. Our guest who stayed at the Marriott couldn’t believe how comfortable the rooms were, complete with stunning views of the beach and lighthouse. The staff was incredible. Our tasting was perfectly planned out down to the finest details. The food was incredible and the chef took the time to discuss what we liked about each dish and how we wanted them presented. Our guests are still raving about their entrées and hors d’oeuvres. We
can not thank the Marriott enough for making our wedding the perfect day!!

Very satisfied and happy with the service! The availability and the kindness of the event director was a plus. Concerned and helpful team.

They worked hard to make sure it all went smoothly. My wedding here turned out to be fantastic. Shout out to Fanci for the great work.

We had an all around amazing experience working with the entire team at Fort Lauderdale Marriott Pompano Beach, led by our event coordinator, Fanci Duvall.

Being from Chicago, we knew we wanted a destination wedding somewhere warm. Given we both love Florida, we compiled a long list of South Florida resorts to consider and this one was quickly a finalist so we planned a visit in January 2022 to see the property and area. From the second we arrived, we knew it was the venue for us. It’s right on the beautiful beach, the hotel is a little bit smaller (we didn’t want a mega resort), the staff was very friendly, and the surrounding area is awesome.

We visited again in August for the tasting and the food was outstanding, we were blown away by the options and again by how inviting the staff was and how the chef was willing to work with us on some tweaks to our favorite dishes.

Once we arrived at the property the week of our wedding, the fun really started. From check in to check out, our entire group was treated amazing and had nothing but great things to say about the hotel and the staff. The rooms are nice, pool is great, the beach is amazing, and nearly every room has a perfect view of the ocean.

The day of is when the hotel staff really blew away our expectations and made our day the best of our lives. The area of the beach where our ceremony was supposed to take place was covered in debris from a hurricane the week before. The staff spent several hours clearing everything to give us the beautiful sand we always wanted. Then, we had the ultimate curveball thrown our direction. Our cocktail hour and reception was supposed to be on the terrace between the two towers; however, the wind had really picked up, so much so that full drinks were being blown over at cocktail hour. We made the difficult decision to move the reception to the indoor ballroom. To our amazement, Fanci was able to make it happen. EVERY piece of decor and setup was moved from the terrace to the ballroom in the exact way we envisioned it. I think every single person working at the hotel that night played a part in making that happen and we are very grateful they did — our reception was absolutely perfect. The food was excellent, our specialty drinks were awesome, and the staff was just so pleasant. From the time dinner ended till reception had to close, I don’t think anyone left the dance floor. Countless guests said it was the most fun they ever had at a wedding and I believe them.

All that said, I think what you ultimately need from a venue is a customer first mindset and willingness to work with you, and that is exactly what Fanci and the entire team delivered. All reasonable requests were accommodated and it all led to the best day/night of our lives.

We can’t recommend this property enough.

Venue was amazing! Staff was great view was awesome! Best day ever!!

Words cannot express how thankful we are for the staff at Pompano Beach Resort and Spa! Our small wedding was originally planned for fort myers beach and two days before the wedding hurricane Ian destroyed our venue. I called so many venues on the east coast of Florida, and was turned down by many due to our small size and last-minute request. As soon as I spoke to Fanci and Angie I knew this was our venue. Within 24 hours they planned a beach front wedding ceremony with an intimate dinner/open bar on their beautiful ocean view terrace. They worked with several new vendors last minute to coordinate the wedding of our dreams without even bothering us because they knew the stress we were dealing with. On top of their wonderful customer service, we could not get over how amazing the food was. We literally booked this place without even visiting or trying the food and we were blown away. Our family members are all "foodies" who like to go to high end restaurants and are quick to judge or complain. Our filet minions and salmon dinners were cooked to perfection and full of flavor, everyone kept saying how amazing it turned out. The hotel gives you that boutique feel where they truly care about their guests along with a beautiful beach and pool area. Our family stayed for a long weekend, and they were so happy with it they all want to go back! If you are considering a beach front wedding with beautiful view, gorgeous hotel, and delicious food, check out this place!! 100% Recommend them!!

My wife and I had our wedding at this venue, and couldn't find any faults (except the weather on the day!) Fanci and her team were fantastic, food was outstanding, and they were able to accommodate special requests that we had. Everything ran like clockwork, and our family from overseas all enjoyed being together to celebrate with us on our special day.

I had a beautiful wedding here the only complaint I would make is that the bar we wanted to “after party” at after the wedding was closed or closing in the hotel and the staff during the time was a bit rude other wise I don’t have anything bad to say.

Caitlyn, who worked with me when first booking our wedding was so kind and helpful! She was quick to respond to emails and calls and was great to work with! Veronika worked with me the rest of the time planning the details of the wedding/reception dinner was wonderful from start to finish. She was so helpful and responsive in planning the wedding, which was great since it was a destination wedding, and everything had to be planned from across the country. She was also so helpful and calming the day of the ceremony and guided us through every detail making it the stress free day I dreamed of!

We got married in August 2019 in a Sunrise Celebration. I can’t begin to express my complete satisfaction with this property and their staff. Phenomenal! From the first contact made with Caitlin to our meeting with Veronika and then all the attentiveness shown by every involved staff... outstanding. Caitlin and Veronika held our hands and offered priceless support as we planned our wedding. Our ceremony was 6:15a and Veronika was present and a gem. I do not have enough words to express my satisfaction but rest assured if we ever need this sort of facility for any function.. wedding.. anniversary... birthday.. we definitely will return to this property.

The attentiveness. The professionalism. The service. Comparable to none other.

Thank you Caitlin. Thank you Veronika. Your assistance, your attention to detail, your obvious concern and genuine care made our celebration priceless!

Janae and Laura were wonderful to us from the start. The hotel is beautiful and well kept. All the staff we encountered on our stay and visits for wedding prep were absolutely wonderful. We chose to get married on the beach and then use the upper deck for our reception. We had a great backup plan and even though it rained for a few minutes after the ceremony, Janae, who is the event manager, and her crew were ready to move to the backup location if needed but we declined and the rain went away in a few minutes and the evening was great. I can not express how happy I am that we made the choice to use this venue it was amazing and no regrets at all.

Amazing wedding experience! Guests couldn’t have said enough nice things! Outstanding quality of food! Service overall greatly exceeded my expectations.

We are so happy with our decision to have our destination wedding at the Marriott in Pompano Beach. We had been to the property 3 times prior and were in love. We worked with Laura and Janae throughout the wedding planning process. Everything went very smoothly. The vendors we chose were familiar with the venue and Laura and Janae were super helpful. Due to rain, we pushed back the ceremony 1 hour. Laura and Janae helped us re-schedule photograpahers, florists, lighting specialists, etc in the stressful hours we had making the decision to push it back. I felt relaxed on our wedding day and had a blast. The bridal suite was amazing and great for pictures. The property is gorgeous and the pool/bar service is great. All of our guests came from out of time (including us) and were sooooo impressed and in love with the property! We had an awesome time! Only 1 small blunder we ran into, we requested Coors Light for the reception and they did not have it. They kept the Miller Lite which is their regular light beer in the package. Thank you Marriott for making our day absolutely wonderful!!!!

The staff was very friendly and attentive before, during, and after the wedding and reception. Laura D., the event planner, performed over and above her duties, from answering our many questions in a timely manner to assisting during the rehearsal. I would highly recommend the venue and Laura.

I cannot tell you how incredible the Marriott Pompano Beach and Laura, the wedding coordinator, are! I had my wedding here a little over two weeks ago, and I could be any happier with this decision!

From the first email I sent Laura she was incredible! Laura is always prompt to respond to emails, answer questions, provide advice/support and help make decisions on the big day. After our food tasting, my husband wanted to try the other red meats offered before making a selection. Within a week or two Laura had us back to the hotel for a SECOND food tasting! We cannot thank her or Chef Eric for doing this!

Everyone who attended our wedding loved the food! I actually stayed at the hotel the entire week leading up to the wedding. Every meal I had, whether room service, breakfast, lunch, or dinner was absolutely delicious! Our guests had a choice of filet, salmon or chicken and everyone left happy!

The day of the wedding went very smoothly, largely in part to Laura and Angelica. The bridal suite was perfect for getting ready and had a gorgeous view of the ocean! The hotel staff was in our room promptly in the morning to clean up and even bring us extra tables for hair and make-up and food. We had our ceremony on the outdoor terrace and although it was a little windy, Laura and her team made sure everything was set up perfectly. Laura and Angelica were by my side until the moment I walked down the aisle. Our cocktail hour was on the south lawn and absolutely stunning! We had an open bar and five passed appetizers, all widely enjoyed by guests. The reception was simply perfect and beautiful. Laura made sure all my extras made it to the ballroom and that they were delivered back to my room at the end of the night. Overall, I cannot thank Laura and Angelica for making my wedding day so special! I am so happy I chose this venue and wish I could re-live the night over and over!

Words cannot express how happy we were with the Marriott for our wedding reception and wedding weekend accommodations!!! I contacted them 6 weeks before our wedding date and Laura worked with me to get it all together in time :) Our guests are still talking about how wonderful the wedding was and so many of our out of town guests enjoyed their stay for the weekend. The room views are absolutely spectacular. The wedding suite we had was beautiful and a picture perfect place for the bridal party to get ready. The room service was excellent. The concierge, valet, and front desk staff were all incredibly polite, professional, and prompt. Then last but not least, the food was amazing!!! Our guests had options of a plated beef, mahi, or chicken dish along with 5 passed appetizers, a signature cocktail, 4 hours of open bar, and a wedding cake provided by a baker partnered with the Marriott hotel. We also added a chocolate fountain and had gold chivari chairs. Total guests 85 people including us. To have a wedding on the ocean, with top notch food, service, and excellent accommodations, this place cannot be beat!!!

We were so lucky to have found the Marriott as the venue for our wedding weekend. Laura and Emily were absolutely outstanding to work with. The were patient, professional, and accommodated all my requests. The hotel is a perfect gem and the staff, including the banquet team Cristian and Angelica and everyone else, went out of their way to make us feel special and accommodate all our requests. The food was incredible and our guests could not stop raving about everything. It was the most spectacular day/weekend ever!

I can't say enough great things about the Pompano Beach Marriott for a wedding reception. Laura, the wedding coordinator, was absolutely fantastic in helping me plan out the perfect day.

And even though we weren't able to use the beautiful ocean-side terrace for our cocktail hour, because of the bad weather, the alternate venue inside was just as beautiful.

Everyone told me how much they loved the food, as well. Which may not sound like much, but when you have 100 hungry Italians coming to a wedding, you want to serve them the absolute best: and the Pompano Marriott absolutely delivered!

A really nice addition is the coffee/espresso cart! It created any kind of coffee made to order, and it was a HUGE hit at my wedding.

The reception, in large part, was thanks to my coordinator, Laura. Thanks to her, I really didn't have to worry about anything the night of the reception; she handled everything, even making sure to deliver all of my reception extras up to my hotel room. There was no running around, no panicking: so I got to spend my wedding day calm and absolutely happy.

But even during the planning process, she was willing to work with me on everything. If I didn't like something, she went out of her way to make sure I got exactly what I wanted the day of the wedding. Whenever I was overwhelmed or had questions, she took the time to explain everything fully. Wedding planning isn't easy, but she certainly made it easier.

My only regret is that I can't go back and re-live my entire reception over again! I highly recommend the Marriott, and especially Laura, who was a fantastic coordinator!

We couldn't have been happier with our venue. We had our wedding on the beach, cocktail hour on the south lawn and reception in the ballroom. We knew we wanted a beach wedding and searched many hotels from Sunny Isles to Singer Island before deciding on the Marriott. We worked with Laura from the beginning to the end and she made sure all of the details of the day were taken care of. She was very responsive in answering a million questions.

I was initially thinking of getting a day of wedding planner to assist with the coordination of all of the activities that were going on that day. After talking to some other vendors, I was told I would not need one and not to waste my money as Laura and Alexis were on the ball. They were all correct and I was very glad I didn't get a day of coordinator.

Perfect location for a destination wedding or tropical beach wedding. Service was outstanding, especially working with Fanci, Cristain and the Banquet Team. They went over and beyond expectations and were wonderful to work with. The food was incredible too! I would highly recommend this venue to any Bride and Groom!

My husband and I wanted a beach ceremony and outdoor reception and this venue was perfect!

Laura and Angelica were amazing ! Laura made everything at my daughters wedding go smoothly. She calmed me down when there was a change of venues 10 weeks before the wedding. The Marriott came through with flying colors! Tha wait staff was incredible. Angelica went far above and beyond her responsibilities. Thank-you for making my daughters wedding so special!

The Fort Lauderdale Marriott Pompano Beach Resort & Spa was the venue for my wedding on 11/15/2014. The initial plans were made by Alexis Wells. Laura Damaschin took over the final planning and oversight of the wedding while Alexis was on leave. Both did a fantastic job! They were very flexible in making the changes I requested to customize my wedding. All of the details were handled as planned and the staff supporting the wedding was excellent. The food was excellent for the rehearsal dinner, cocktail hour and reception. Laura was amazing at handling the guests to make sure everyone was directed to the right places and made sure my bridal party and I were on schedule for the wedding. She took care of every detail and her oversight of the wedding was exceptional. Angelica who works these events was the person who supported me personally from the ceremony through the reception. I felt so pampered and supported. No one could have done a better job of taking care of me and all of my needs on that day. I highly recommend this beautiful venue where you can have your wedding inside or have your wedding on the outside terrace or on the beach to take advantage of the beautiful beach/ocean view in South Florida with a backup option of holding the wedding inside.
