Travel Note
March is a great time of year to visit Sarasota! Direct Flights into SRQ or TPA are plentiful. The wedding venue, College Hall is on the campus of New College located on Sarasota Bay just west of the SRQ airport. A block of rooms has been reserved at the Homewood Suites in the UTC/Lakewood Ranch area approximately 15-20 minutes east of the venue. UTC features numerous options for shopping and dining as well as Nathan Benderson Park. A visit to Sarasota wouldn’t be complete without checking out the beaches on Lido, Long Boat or Siesta Key. Hotel options in the downtown area include Westin, Hyatt, Ritz, Art Ovation, ALoft and others. For a big splurge, the St Regis opened on Longboat Key in 2024.
