Wow I can’t say enough great things about Melissa and the team at Isla del Sol. Not only was the venue just beautiful but they took care of EVERYTHING and it was the easiest process to plan. I am an out of town bride, so having an all-inclusive venue was super important to me. Isla del sol takes care of everything from ceremony, to tables/linens to dining, to food and alcohol and a full team of staff. The food was amazing. The venue and atmosphere were everything I could have dreamed. Melissa and the staff are the most friendly and welcoming individuals. Melissa is so on top of it, super quick to respond, stayed in touch during our long year & half engagement, and worked with us to schedule any tours/tastings around the dates we were in town. One of the best parts, is that you will be the ONLY bride during your wedding weekend. We were able to do rehearsal the night before and the day of had the entire bridal suite and groom suite to ourselves and could enter any time we wanted. We also brought all the décor the night before, so it made it so much easier the day of. I would recommend Isla del Sol to anyone who ever wants to get married in the St Pete area. They made my wedding better than I could have even dreamed.

The Bilmar Beach Resort was the perfect venue for our wedding day. From the moment we first reached out, the staff was communicative, kind, knowledgeable, and incredibly patient as we worked through all the details. On the day of, their day-of coordinator Karla went above and beyond to bustle my dress, and Dani was always present or just a phone call away to help with anything we needed. Tyler, who was there even on his birthday, would drop anything to lend a hand. The team's attention to detail and accommodating nature made our ceremony, with its breathtaking arch at sunset, absolutely flawless.

We highly recommend The Birchwood! Our reception had 123 guests and the ballroom was the perfect size for that guest count -- it felt intimate but not crowded. Everything was so organized down the tiniest details, which resulted in a well run and amazing party. From the beautiful built in bar to the balcony to the top tier food to the gorgeous view on the rooftop for cocktail hour, the night flew by because of how much fun we had. We got great feedback from our guests on the venue too! It is also a gorgeous space that can accommodate many different decor styles but that doesn't need a lot of "extra" decor to look beautiful, which was helpful to me as someone who would be intimidated by a full DIY space but appreciated the flexibility to pick a theme that suited us. It's a venue that photographs very well! Finally and most importantly, the staff are so helpful and professional. We worked with Marlice and Claire for most of our planning process and they were both so organized, responsive and kind. For example, on our final walkthrough, Marlice stayed for extra time to watch us practice our first dance on the dance floor -- she definitely did not need to do that and it was so appreciated. And she was always available to answer any question big or small. Thank you to The Birchwood for making our day feel so special and fun!
