Awarded Best of Zola
I had my wedding ceremony and reception at the Marriott Suites on Sand Key in May 2024. It was amazing. The facility coordinator was great to work with and having both in the same facility made planning easy. Having a smaller guest count made it somewhat difficult to find the right location and price balance with other hotels, but this Marriott was able to accommodate. Our guests loved the property. I would highly recommend this hotel for your wedding!
