Waterfront Wedding in Paradise
Sunlight shines off the Gulf of Mexico. A gentle breeze sways through the palm trees while expert chefs prepare the meal you and your guests will never forget. Tarpon Lodge won’t be the focal point of your experience, just the perfect backdrop for it. Tarpon Lodge features a 4-star restaurant, beautiful grounds and a heated pool. Guests can enjoy fishing, boating, nearby golf, local museums and quaint art galleries.

Wedding Date 18-01-2020
When I was a teenager my parents took me to Tarpon Lodge and a couple was having a small wedding there and I absolutely loved it. Fast forward ten years and Tarpon Lodge seemed like the obvious choice for my own wedding. My husband loves fishing and being on the water and I loved the beautiful cozy feel of the inn. We had our rehearsal dinner there catered by a food truck and had tarpon lodge supply the bar. Our wedding was on the dock with a cocktail hour at the gazebo on the green and our dinner and reception inside. We rented out the whole hotel for our out of town guests to book- having everyone stay right there was so convenient. Everything was stunning, the food was delicious, and the atmosphere was so US. Shoreh was incredibly helpful and fantastic to work with. We had so much fun and have already been back to visit since! Shoreh immediately recognized us and was so kind. We ended up moving out to pine island and can’t wait to visit Tarpon Lodge time and time again and are grateful for all the beautiful memories it will forever provide!

There are not enough nice things to say about the staff at Tarpon Lodge. My husband and I first fell in love with this venue when we got engaged here in March of 2016. After visiting again a few months later we knew if was the perfect wedding venue for us. Shohreh and her team are absolutely fantastic! Shohreh was very responsive and helpful throughout the wedding planning process and made our rehearsal meet and greet/wedding reception run smoothly. Her staff were professional and friendly. We were so impressed that they brought appetizers and drinks to us and our family as we were taking pictures after the ceremony. Not only are the staff top notch, but the location of Tarpon Lodge can't be beat. Our ceremony and cocktail hour overlooked the water and we were able to have our first dance with the sun setting in the background. We know we will continue visiting Tarpon Lodge for years to come.

Tarpon Lodge went above and beyond to make our wedding weekend fabulous. It was an amazing weekend and I can't think of anywhere else I'd want it to be. The food was incredible and the place was perfect for all of our friends to stay. If I had to do it all over again, I would do the exact same thing!

This location was very beautiful and \"old Florida\" like, it was ideal for a smaller wedding. Most of our friends and family were able to stay right on site and we had the whole lodge to ourselves. However the sun was in our eyes for the ceremony and the sand fleas were horrible. I have scars all over my arms from being bitten up so horribly. For weeks after the wedding, anyone with exposed skin had bug bites. My arms alone had over 50 bites on each arm. \rThe service we received at the reception was second to none, however the dance floor is small and would not have accommodating any larger of a wedding. We had about 60 guests.

The management and staff were very friendly and professional. The sunset was to die for! They truely catered to my every need and made our wedding day perfect!;If you have more than 125 guests I wouldn't consider the Tarpon. They can have the reception outdoors, but if it rains, there isn't enough room indoors.

Everything was great. We not only had our ceremony there (which we did not have to pay extra for to rent), we also had an impromtu rehearsal gathering at the small cottage we rented for our honeymoon suite. The venue is a fishing lodge that has rooms, grounds, pool and restaurant. The staff was fantastic and the food was to die for. We were able to customize our menu to fit our wedding. to this day all our family and friends sill rave about the food. During the reception my husband and I never went without a drink. If our hand was empty the bartender was there to fill out hands without even asking if we were ready. i can not say enough to describe what a great place it was for a wedding.;the main dinning room can only fit 50 people. you can expand, but you would be better off renting a tent if you had more than 75 people attending. the grounds are large enough to handle this. if you are having a casual wedding, don't bother with renting a dance floor. we didn't and no one was hurt and we saved some money
