Jessica was our point of contact, and was great to work with. She was very organized throughout the planning process and was generally pretty responsive. She was always very friendly and always doing what she could to accommodate what we wanted for our wedding day. There was a issue with the arch as the ceremony was about to begin on the beach, which delayed the ceremony a bit, which then lead to all other events being a little off on time and delayed for the rest of the night. Unfortunately, that time was not made up for at the end of the night, and the reception ended as planned prior. So that was a bit frustrating. Another area that we wished could have improved was the communication about our sparkler send off at the end of the night. Unfortunately, this portion of the night was a bit confusing since we believe there was not good enough communication with the appropriate personnel, thus my husband, our DJ, and photographer had to take over the situation and get things set up. That aside, Sirata is a decent venue for any couple and their food is delicious. The views are unbeatable! Our overall experience was fair, but weâd do it all over again if we could, though hopefully with better follow through. đ-Ellen & Joe Reviewed on 11-08-2023

So let me start by saying that our wedding was amazing! There were chances of storms all day and we did end up having rain before the ceremony (and during pictures) but Jessica was amazing in keeping things exactly how I wanted to the best of her ability and was 100% an amazing coordinator from beginning to end. Our wedding turned out beautifully and the food was AMAZING! That being said, we attended a wedding for friends here two years ago and had a great time at the Sirata, prompting us to have our wedding here as well (we are from out of state). I do feel like the property in general has gone down hill since then. We had multiple guests with room issues and it just seems like it isnât as well-maintained as what it used to be. We also had issues with communication with the room booking people once their management switched over in the middle of our planning process which was frustrating. Overall though, the wedding ceremony and reception itself were perfect and I wouldnât change a thing about those at all. Reviewed on 07-06-2023

Sirata Beach Resort was the perfect place for our wedding. The hotel was great for our out-of-state families to have a mini-vacation as well as attend our wedding. The catering and staff were INCREDIBLE! Our guests could not stop raving about the food that was served. Lastly, Jessica was an out of this world venue coordinator.

After the deposit was put down we were able to pick & secure all our vendors and set up the taste testing for food. They are a âone stop shopâ venue that knocks it out of the park. They have recommendations for every vendor you need (florist, transportation, officiant, DJ, dessert, photography, videography, rentals, photo booths, etc), but offer a lot themselves.

We got married on 10/2/2020, and were originally planned to get married there 4/4/2020 but had to postpone due to COVID. Kelli and her team were nothing but accommodating, reassuring, and helpful during that period. It is already stressful enough planning a wedding, (a destination wedding) but postponing 3 weeks prior to your original date can be more stressful, but Kelli made sure we had all of our ducks in a row, and made that process SO easy. The entire time during our planning process we felt as if we were in great hands. Kelli would always provide a response no matter how many silly questions I asked her, or how many emails I had sent. She made it so easy to work with her, and we never doubted our wedding at Sirata! Being from out of town, it was never a problem communicating or getting in contact with the ones we needed to speak with at Sirata. Ashley, who handled our room block, was SOO accommodating and responsive from the very beginning. I always had a question for her, or had to change our room block, and she was always so helpful and I never felt bad for coming to her for questions or assistance; hey always wanted to help. All of our vendors were also very familiar with Sirata, so when they were all together the day of, it felt like a little family. The day prior to the wedding, and the day of, Kelli and Jessica were there for anything we needed and made sure it was a smooth process!

Kaitlin Sullivan(bride)3 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 22-02-2020 Our wedding and reception were held at the Sirata on the North Beach and in the Coconut Palm Pavilion. It was an absolutely beautiful venue and the perfect beach wedding that we wanted. The food was amazing and the wait staff was extremely attentive not only to us but to our guests as well. We rented some outside games to have at our reception (giant Jenga and cornhole) that were a huge hit with our guests as well! We had approximately 100 people attend our wedding so the reception space was perfect to allow for plenty of seating space as well as movement on the dance floor. However, when we first booked with the Sirata, our event coordinator was really good with communication, answering questions, and documentation of preferences, choices, etc.; about four months before our wedding our original coordinator left the Sirata and the new coordinator we were assigned was not as proficient. Unfortunately, this did result in a fair amount of frustration on our end due to miscommunications and general lack of communication, resulting in the need for us to continuously follow-up on items that fell under the Sirataâs responsibilities to ensure they were taken care of (e.g., our preference to have parking charged to us and not guests). While the venue itself was extremely beautiful, we have no doubts that our wedding would have been extremely stressful had we not had an external day of coordinator. While we had some difficulties with the Sirata, when major issues were brought to their attention they did do a great job trying to resolve them. Jessica Bentley, the Wedding and & Social Events Coordinator, even took her own time to search the resort for our missing wedding cake following the wedding and personally placed an order to replace it for us to pick up following our return from the Honeymoon.

Chris Caradori(guest)1 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 29-02-2020 Iâll start at check-in for my sister-in-law's wedding.The father of the bride was attempting to check-in for his room and, much to his surprise, the Sirata said that he did not have a reservation with the Resort. The Sirata staff asked that he call his daughter (2 days before her wedding) to have her provide proof that he had a reservation. Since heâs been waiting for the entirety of his daughterâs life to celebrate this weekend with her, he had booked a suite and was told upon booking that the reservation would be documented as VIP and heâd be staying on the same floor as his daughter. At the registration desk he was told by the Sirata staff that VIP doesnât actually have any meaning there. The bride was able to verify that her father had reserved a suite for his daughter's wedding, but he was told no suite was available now. The only resolution offered was to allow the father and stepmother of the bride to sleep in the suite that the bride and groom would be staying in the following night when they checked in. The only available option for the father and stepmother of the bride to stay at the resort after the bride and groom arrived would be in a completely separate building from the rest of the family. The groomâs grandparents had a similar issue at check-in as well â no record of their reservation in the system and they had to leave from taking wedding photos to spend their time at the registration desk trying to guarantee theyâd have a place to sleep for the night. It appeared from the plaques hanging on the walls that this was a highly credentialed venue around 2014-2017, which leads me to believe something had changed in the years since. My sister-in-law had been dealing with a wedding planner on the staff that she enjoyed working with, but she was reassigned to a new planner after she had reserved the venue. The replacement planner was very difficult to reach by phone and she was first introduced to my sister-in-law the day before her wedding. Some of the complaints we had from the ceremony/cocktail hour/reception were:1) Entry music for the wedding party at the ceremony was not playing as it was instructed by the bride and groom. 2) There werenât enough chairs at the ceremony for the guests in attendance.3) Cocktail hour had an individual bar open for 160 guests in attendance.4) The bride and groom never saw or heard from the wedding planner after she opened the doors to the reception. 5) The alcohol provided at the open bar was not what was ordered.6) One of the family tables was short by two seats. 7) The kids' chicken tender meals at our table were not cooked. They were sent back to the kitchen and replacement meals were never sent out. 8) Quite literally the icing on the cake was that the staff never cut or served the wedding cake for the bride and groom. The cake had to be thrown out as it wasnât able to be stored or preserved with fresh strawberries in the filling. Aside from another inconvenience, it was really just laughable at the point of checking out of the Resort. At the separate building where the father and stepmother of the bride were staying on the 6th floor, both elevators were out of service. We asked one of the staff members how long it had been and we were told that one went out today but the other had been out for around 5 months. Extremely frustrated and aggravated with the whole process wouldnât even begin to justify the emotion theyâre feeling right now. Reviewed on 05-03-2020

Lauren Gray(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 02-11-2019 This was a destination wedding for us and we booked it without touring it first. We worked with Kasey, who was super helpful the entire process and sent me checklists and planning sheets as soon as we booked which helped keep me on track! It is good to note that most vendors in Florida take a few days to respond sometimes since they typically have week days off to compensate for working on the weekends, but someone always got back to me by the end of the week, and the out of office reply I got from Sirata always directed me to someone I could contact if it was urgent! Used compass grill for our rehearsal dinner, it was nice we had a private room but our group of 35 was probably the max. We had our reception at coconut palm, with the ceremony on the beach right in front. Kasey assured everything was on time and it all went smooth! For appetizers highly recommend the mini burritos! We had the âbeachsideâ buffet and the salmon was a huge hit. I wanted a very open air feel to our reception and coconut palm provided exactly that, the bar was actually set up on the patio outside which was really cool. The only downside is that the wedding had to end at 10pm due to county sound ordinances, but Rum Runners bar was literally steps away so at 10 the whole wedding basically just moved there. Overall most of our guests loved the hotel, and it was a great weekend! We will definitely return for future vacations! Highly recommend! Reviewed on 12-01-2020
Khristina Stackpole(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 03-11-2019 Literally the perfect wedding spot! I could not be happier that me and my husband chose to get married here! After looking at quite a few locations on St. Pete Beach Kasey was amazing from day one when we toured the venue and was one of our deciding factors! She was hands on the ENTIRE almost year and a half and answered all of my MANY questions promptly. The room block got a bit messy when we sent out invites with the info and then was told there were no rooms left or they had to stay a minimum of 3 nights and Kasey quickly handled this for us and accommodated this SO well for us which took so much stress off of me. We wanted something beachy, yet fun and casual and the Sirata nailed this for us! I can't wait to go back year after year and celebrate! Reviewed on 27-11-2019
Ashley Smith(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 13-10-2019 I cannot say enough good things about Sirata Beach Resort, but especially our coordinator there, Kasey Bussell. She is one of the reasons I picked Sirata over the other venues. Her response time is impeccable. Her attention to detail is amazing. She truly cares about her couples and wants their day to be absolutely perfect. No detail was missed because of Kasey! The venue itself is stunning. Our ceremony was on the beach (south beach) under the bamboo arch provided by Sirata. Our reception was just feet away in an air conditioned tent and it was perfect! We had 4 feasting tables for our guests. The tent was able to be decorated gorgeously. The food, oh the food!!! We had a few butler passed apps and the beachside buffet option and wow. Everyone raved about it, especially us! The bartender poured them real strong and no one was complaining ;) The staff was personable, friendly, and incredible. Kasey truly went above and beyond for us, answering every single question I had leading up to the big day. I had blast planning my wedding from a distance because Kasey was so easy to work with.

Alexandria Mitchell(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 18-09-2019 Jennifer Jasper and the team were so amazing! We were an out of state group, looking for great deals and beautiful weather for our special day. Jennifer was so amazing the entire process with helping us select everything, she was on top of EVERYTHING! She was never rude or impatient, and never seemed irritated. There were days we called her 3 times in a day just to ask questions and she always answered them and if she did not know she reached out to her manager or whoever else to get that information for us. They made sure the rehearsal, rehearsal dinner, and wedding flowed perfectly. We loved how she reached out to all of our vendors to make sure everyone was aligned and on time. Like, I have heard of a lot of people being stressed out about their wedding and things going smoothly and on time. Once we got there we didn't have to worry about anything, and that was amazing! We highly recommend their wedding packages and their location for the beach front wedding is so beautiful!This is no reflection of the Sales team or anyone involved with the wedding because they were great! The front desk team, was a little lost when it came to our accommodations, and the rooms were not quite what we expected. But the Rum Tiki Bar, drinks and food are amazing! Unfortunately the Compass Grille was never open the entire time we were there.  But overall, all our family and guests really enjoyed themselves and had a great time. We created so many great memories! Reviewed on 18-10-2019

Kelli (the onsite manager) and her staff (Jessica) made it as stress free as possible long distance and after we arrived.

There are absolutely no words to describe the Sirata. My day was PERFECT. Seriously perfect. We got married on the beach and the reception was in the Coconut Palm (the tent on the beach) and it was so beautiful. I received comments from every single guest about what an amazing venue this was, how beautiful it is, how helpful and friendly the staff were- you name it. The food? Amazing. I have been to too many weddings so admittedly my expectations were low, but every single item was delicious. Got guest raves about that too. But the star of the show at the Sirata is the aptly named Kelli Love. As a bride that was \"not good at wedding stuff\" and doing it alone as a new resident of FL (all my family and friends are out of state), she was my rock. She gave me a list of vendors who were all amazing, she calmed my freaking out nerves and served as almost a day of coordinator. Whatever I needed, Kelli was right there. She is the very best at what she does. I was cool as a cucumber on my big day because I knew Kelli had my back. That is worth every penny we spent (oh and the rates were very reasonable too!!!!). The hotel itself had a few challenges with rooms being available and check-in, etc. But otherwise? Awesome. It is on a beautiful stretch of beach that they keep manicured. The newly renovated rooms and resort are gorgeous. Can't possibly recommend it more. Seriously if you're wanting a beach wedding, this is the place. Reviewed on 19-11-2018

We were so happy we chose the Sirata Beach Resort for our ceremony and reception! Kasey was wonderful to work with and made sure every detail of our wedding day was taken care of. Our guests kept commenting on the professionalism and friendliness of the staff. Shout out to Gina at Harry's Beach Bar and Juana in housekeeping, who made the week we stayed there even more special. Even though there were still a few parts of the Sirata under construction, Kasey went above and beyond to rent a room near the reception so our guests could have a nearby restroom and upgraded our guest room to a beach view, which was very unexpected! The best part was that everyone enjoyed EVERYTHING about the venue, especially the food!! We kept hearing from guests that this was the best wedding meal they've ever had, and we totally agree! I can't say enough about how wonderful our wedding was, thanks to Kasey and the entire Sirata staff. Thank you! Reviewed on 18-11-2018

We had a lot of family attend from out of town and everyone loved the new look and feel of the resort. Kasey and the entire wedding team at Sirata are beyond amazing and exceeded all of our expectations! Kasey was there through the entire process from initial planning, to several meet ups while the renovations were underway, to answering more than a few emails from us, all done with poise and incredible patience! She made sure that everything went smoothly and checked in on us multiple times that day. She made sure everyone was present during photos, made sure that the bridal party was set up to mingle with the guests beforehand, and made sure we had a drink ready at our table after the reception began. Our beach wedding was so beautiful and the staff did a great job with everything. One big plus is the security they have while the ceremony occurs to make sure no strangers get to close or end up in photos. The food is incredible as well.

She was so quick to answer emails and was wonderful at calming a stressed out bride. Her and her team made the whole process so easy, especially the day of. She was there for every moment of it to ensure it went flawlessly. The catering staff were very professional and so many people commented on how sweet they were. Often at weddings, the bride and groom are so busy greeting everyone that they don't even get a bite to eat. The Sirata catering staff brought us food from all the stations so when we were done being social butterflies we could actually enjoy the food! Those little touches matter. We had our reception in the Coconut Palm Pavilion and the tent and view are spectacular. My fiance and I searched up and down the Florida coasts to find a place that offered a covered reception tent (but solid ground for heels!) but was right on the beach. It was perfect.

As a venue, the Sirata offered everything we were looking for: a beautiful beach adjacent ceremony (deck overlooking the beach), a courtyard cocktail hour by their water fountain, and a reception hall with a gorgeous 180 degree view overlooking St. Petersburg beach. The convenience of having all three phases of the wedding at a single venue allowed for a seamless transition from ceremony, to cocktail hour to reception without the added stress of arranging transportation for us or the guests. The resort itself offers plenty of amenities for guests during the downtime, and their hotel rooms have been recently updated. We were so fortunate to get paired with Kelli Love as our coordinator. Kelli was personable and professional answering every question leading up to the wedding and her experience and confidence kept me calm throughout.

Amanda and Chloe helped me from day one plan the wedding I wanted and were quick to make changes and adapt. We had inclement weather on our wedding day and I wasnât phased at all! Even with the last minute changes, everything was perfect. Chris with the catering staff was great as well. We canât wait to come back and visit! Reviewed on 12-10-2017

Jodie Facciola(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 25-06-2017 Our small wedding at the Sirata far exceeded my expectations. I worked with Amanda Page and she was absolutely fabulous. I didn't realize how humid and hot Florida was going to be and decided to change my reception to indoors the day before the wedding. Amanda called all my vendors and changed everything around like it was not a big deal at all. The wedding just flowed so smoothly and all of our guests said it was the best beach wedding they've ever attended. Can't thank Amanda and all the people at Sirata enough for such an amazing experience! Reviewed on 03-07-2017
Alicia Meaney(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 21-04-2017 My husband and I got married at Sirata Beach Resort on April 21st. Everything was absolutely perfect. We chose the Coconut Palm Pavilion because we wanted to be right on the beach. The environment was beautiful. The food was absolutely amazing. All our guests commented on how beautiful the wedding was and how delicious the food was. Best wedding food they had ever had. Our coordinator was Kasey. She was there with us the entire time from the beginning stages of planning through they actual wedding. We couldn't have asked for a more helpful planner. Reviewed on 24-05-2017
Alexandra B(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 20-06-2017 My husband and I just got married at the Sirata Beach Resort May 5th, 2017 and were extremely happy with our experience! Through the whole process, from touring the venue to walking down the isle, the wedding coordinator Kelli Love was so helpful and an amazing resource. When we were worried about the guest numbers 4 months before the wedding, or when I had a question about a reception detail the day of the wedding Kelli was one call away to ease my worries and make everything make sense. I can't thank her enough for the amazing job she did! Also, the food was amazing and the service staff at the reception were very attentive and caring. I can really only say good things all around. I would highly recommend this resort for your beach wedding! Reviewed on 16-05-2017
Steph Davis(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 04-05-2017 The Sirata was great to work with! I had visited this resort and knew this is where I wanted to get married. Planning a destination wedding isn't always easy, but our coordinator, Kelli Love & her team were so helpful. Any questions I had, they responded so quickly. Our wedding ended up being everything we had dreamed of. There was not one thing that went wrong during our special day. The ceremony on the beach was beautiful, the decorations provided by the Sirata (included in our package) were simple and perfect. We had never tried the reception food, and it was AMAZING. Also, our reception catering crew treated us like we were royalty!! The entire day was more than I could have ever asked for and more than I ever expected. Best part, the Sirata had such great pricing on everything and the quality was still exceptional. I can't wait to go back and visit. Reviewed on 15-05-2017
Kim Berk(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 02-05-2017 Our wedding at the Sirata was absolutely perfect. Amanda worked with us to ensure that we had a great day - from booking our hotel room, coordinating with our vendors and just being that \"expert.\" I had no pre-wedding stress because I knew she had it under control. A huge thank you goes out to the entire staff at the Sirata, Rum Runners, and Compass Grille. Reviewed on 05-05-2017
Jessica Sedlock(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 22-04-2017 If I could give Kelli & her team 6 stars, I absolutely would. From the initial meeting to the very last guest leaving at the end of the night, this team of professionals worked so hard to make my day amazing! I worked directly with Kelli, and she was absolutely wonderful in answering all of my questions throughout the planning process, handling my requests and making sure that everything ran smoothly on the day of the wedding. So many of our guests commented that everyone was so nice & accommodating. The ceremony was beautiful, the reception space was amazing, and everything truly did come together perfectly. I loved having our wedding at the Sirata and I can't wait to come visit when we're back on St. Pete Beach! Reviewed on 01-05-2017
Nicole R(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 15-04-2017 Great experience with the Sirata. Kelli, our wedding coordinator there, was great with working with all the vendors and Sirata staff to ensure everything went off without issues. We were married on the beach and had the reception in the tent. We were able to have the front and side part of the tent up so we blocked a lot of the wind but also had some fantastic views of the sunset.Our guests raved about the food and said it was the best food they have had at a wedding. The buffet had lobster, crab claws, shrimp, chicken, and beef and it was all incredible. Staff was great and extremely helpful in running the reception and ensuring everyone was lined up for the ceremony.Sirata did a good job of sectioning off the beach so you didn't have people too close or getting in the photos during the ceremony. I would recommend going with vendors off of their preferred list as it was clear they had worked together before and knew where to go.The resort was also nice and made an enjoyable couple of days for our guests, who were mostly coming in from out of town. Overall for what we received I thought the pricing was very reasonable and given they cater to destination weddings, made it easier to plan remotely. Reviewed on 17-04-2017

Theresa Higgs(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 20-01-2017 Best venue ever! We look at a lot of options in St. Pete's are we are sooo happy we chose the Sirata! Kasey and her team were incredible to work with from the day we toured the facilities for the first time all the way through our big day. We actually had 2 weddings (6 events in 3 days) and we were able to use many of their beautiful spaces - outdoor and indoor, giving each event its own feel and energy! Everything went smoothly and everyone on staff was nice and professional. We really appreciated that Kasey, the staff and the chef worked with us to create a terrific Hindu ceremony and event with Indian food and other things that were quite different than they are used to with weddings. They were so flexible and willing to do anything they could to accommodate our wishes for our big days! I can't say enough great things about this venue. 2 months later, many of our 150 guests are still raving about the Sirata! Reviewed on 20-03-2017
Lauren Swift(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 25-02-2017 We had our destination wedding at the Sirata in Feb, 2017. We are from Chicago, so we were looking forward to incorporating the beach, warm weather and beautiful sunset into our wedding day. Kelli Love was our wedding coordinator and she definitly made that all happen for us! The Sirata was great with communication and working with us (even being out of town). Our Wedding day was very organized and beautiful! For meal choices we had prime rib and chicken marsala. All of our friends and family complimented how good the food was and how great the service (waiters, bartenders, etc) were! Kelli is great at her job and really helped us out with things we had to do/needed. Loved our wedding day and so happy we decided to have it at the Sirata. Hotel rooms, pool, beachfront were all perfect and we will definitly be back next february for our 1 year anniversary! Reviewed on 15-03-2017
Anonymous (groom)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 25-04-2018 My now-wife and I began planning our wedding almost the day after getting engaged in December 2015. We chose the Sirata shortly thereafter, and Kelli Love did nothing short of a spectacular job. Despite us pestering her with question after question and sometimes us (my wife and I) being on the opposite page, Kelli handled things with the utmost professionalism and care. Even when she had a minor injury setback only a few days before our wedding, she was still heavily involved and her assistant, Chloe, was fantastic in aiding us through our special day. Kelli and Chloe, thank you SO much for everything you did for us. 5* for the Sirata, and choosing any other resort in St. Pete would be a mistake. Reviewed on 25-02-2017
