We hosted the most magical destination wedding for my daughter and son in law at the Sirata Beach Resort in May 2025. The Sirata provided exactly what our daughter envisioned, a ceremony on the beautiful white sandy beach on the shore of the Gulf of Mexico and a top-notch reception just steps away in their Coconut Palm Pavilion, the "venue right on the beach" that our daughter dreamed of! Since we we planned the wedding from Boston, the Sirata Beach Resort Director of Catering, Kelli Love, played a vital role in bringing our daughter and son in law's vision to life! Kelli was a pleasure to work with, very communicative via email or a phone call when needed. The Sirata was already secured and we were well into wedding planning when St. Pete Beach was virtually devastated by back to back hurricanes in the fall of 2024. Kelli's communication regarding the progress the Sirata was making to reopen, sending us pictures of the progress of clean up and renovation were both invaluable (since we couldn't check on it ourselves) and reassuring that the day we all envisioned would happen as planned! The wedding went off perfectly. The Sirata was a beautiful place for our family and all our guests. The staff was helpful, the food during our stay the week leading up to the wedding was great and the amenities were enjoyed by all. The wedding day itself was flawless! The beach ceremony was set up early in the day allowing our wedding planner to decorate as we wished. The venue itself was set just as we discussed, the bar was stocked and plentiful with all that we asked for and the food was phenomenal!! We thoroughly enjoyed the filet mignon and lobster, seafood paella just to name a few of the dishes served and all of our guests raved about how delicious everything was. Kelli was on site and extremely helpful when a guest asked for NA beer as was the banquet captain and staff who made sure we had everything we wanted and were so quick to continually clear glasses and empty plates from the table, a touch that I truly appreciate. Overall, our experience hosting our daughter's wedding at the Sirata Beach Resort was beyond our dreams. We are so grateful to all the staff who supported our family's special day and to Kelli Love for being our go-to, master- of-all for the year leading up to and on the special day! We highly recommend The Sirata Beach Resort, you will not be disappointed!

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.
