Sale e Pepe

Wow, Wow, Wow! Sale e Pepe was amazing. We had the most beautiful reception. Everything was perfection to the smallest detail. The food presentation/delivery was unbelievable. They served one table at a time (long tables of 20 people) with 10 waiters carrying plates and standing around the table. Once all waiters were in place, they placed the plates of food in front of each guest. It was so impressive and everyone noticed and was impressed. I can't say enough about Sale e Pepe. They put on one elegant wedding reception. Absolutely amazing!

My husband and I had our wedding ceremony and reception at the Marco Beach Ocean Resort and Sale E Pepe. Sale E Pepe and staff were absolutely amazing! Not only was everyone so professional and lovely, but the food was absolutely delicious! Galina the event planner and the banquet manager were amazing to work with and made everything so easy and flawless. I couldn't have asked for anything better! Thank you Sale E Pepe and team!

Mary Beth and Sale e Pepe was absolutely out of this world. After looking at different venues in the area, we came to the conclusion that this was the perfect place for our wedding. We were treated so wonderfully by all the staff, and Mary Beth was nothing but accommodating with us and our wedding planner. This was a destination wedding, so she went out of her way to coordinate with our wedding planner and show her the space days before the wedding so that everything was perfect. The food was magnificent and we have had nothing but amazing feedback from everyone that attended. We cannot emphasize enough how wonderful both the venue and wedding coordinator are. This was the perfect spot for an unforgettable day.

We were supposed to get married at this venue on 10/8/2022 and had to postpone due to Hurricane Ian. We rescheduled our wedding for 1/15/2023 and it was the best decision of our lives! Not only is the venue itself stunning and directly located on Marco Island's beautiful white sand beach, but the venue staff went above and beyond all expectations. Our guests were blown away by the service, but most importantly, their meals. We opted for the Grouper and American Wagyu, both were cooked to perfect for every single guest. The flow of the entire wedding was flawless and the communication leading up to the wedding was amazing. If you are considering a venue in Southwest Florida, look no further. Sale E Pepe at Marco Beach Ocean Resort is hands down the best vendor we could have chosen. Added plus - they have the most incredible indoor lounge that we used for our after party to keep the night going!

Sale e Pepe was a dream wedding venue. The terrace is absolutely stunning any time of day, along with the property and beach. Working with the venue coordinator, Galina, was easy and fantastic. She was very communicative and always responded to my (probably crazy) emails. Even the smallest question was answered with the most detail. Galina is a true rockstar. The food was unbelievable and our guests are still raving about it. The service was phenomenal, from servers to bartenders. The event manager Damir was so kind, courteous, and checked in with my husband and I throughout the night to make sure we were doing okay. There isn’t a single bad thing I could say about the venue, service, or people involved in making it all come together. Sale e Pepe will forever hold a special place in my heart.

Sal e Pepe far exceeded all of our wedding expectations and dreams. We cannot say enough good things about this place! If you are getting married in Southwest Florida this is your best option. All of our guests cannot stop raving about how phenomenal everything was as well. This team was faced with Hurricane Ian weeks before our wedding, and did absolutely everything to recover quickly and ensure no detail was forgotten. You would never even know they had just gone through this. Our favorite call-outs: Galina (Wedding Coordinator) - you are in the best hands with her. We planned a destination wedding from New Jersey and were only able to see the venue in-person once before the wedding day. She made us feel so safe and secure throughout the process. She goes above and beyond the role of a wedding coordinator, you truly don't need a wedding planner in addition to her. She is thoughtful, attentive to every detail, responsive, keeps the day flowing, and communicates with all vendors on timing keeping the stress off of you. You will love working with her. She helped map out the venue for us which made ordering decorations and planning an absolute breeze. The Venue - The Venue itself is gorgeous. We had our reception and cocktail hour on the beach, which is absolutely stunning. You can't beat the sunset and views of this beach, plus the white sand does not get hot. The sunset terrace is so beautiful, and an amazing spot for dinner and dancing. In its natural state the Venue is so amazing, you don't feel overwhelmed to overdo the decor. The Toulouse Lounge has such a charming feel as well, this is where we held our After Party. Sal E Pepe Food / Staff - We received compliments on the food from all of our guests. This is the best wedding food we have ever had! Head Chef is Andrea Cirino will work with you to customize if there are appetizers / etc that are special to you or important to have. Damir Frljak (Banquet Manager) was absolutely amazing with us as well. He came by our sweetheart table to make sure anything we needed was taken care of, helped us with clean up, and had the staff serve our guests so professionally - everyone was so impressed! Both Damir and Andrea made our pre-wedding menu tasting so special as well. We were alone, with waterfront views, and they offered a wine pairing during the tasting - we felt so special and they remembered us day of! I truly can't say enough good things about this venue! They also only host one wedding per day (not all places on the island will offer that) so you and your guests truly are taken care of / their sole focus.

Marco Beach Ocean Resort is the perfect wedding venue! My husband and I fell in love with Marco Island last year and started looking at wedding venues. After our initial tour of MBOR and meeting their on-site wedding coordinator, Galina, we knew we found the perfect spot. We decided to choose vendors that were on MBOR brochures and meant that they had all been to the venue for previous weddings and worked with Galina. I think this helped ensure for a very smooth planning process because everyone knew the venue when we would discuss things and helped the wedding go exactly as we pictured it. I can not say enough good things about every single employee that we encountered at MBOR. From the reception area, the bellman, bartenders, service staff, etc, and of course, Galina. All details were down to the finest detail and even though our wedding was just 2.5 weeks after hurricane Ian, the venue looked incredible! We have received so many “thank you’s” and compliments from our fiesta about how nice everything was, how wonderful the food was, and how great the staff was. The only thing I’m sad about is that it’s over!

When my (now) husband and I went to Sale e Pepe last year for dinner, we knew this was the place we wanted to get married at. Galina and the whole team made this day magical! Galina is super organized! Everything ran smoothly from the beach ceremony to the food! Everyone talked about the food! We can't wait to go back next year for dinner. Overall, Galina is 100% dedicated to your day and the team goes to amazing lengths to make this one of the most beautiful days in your life.

Beautiful wedding venue. We lucked out and had the most perfect sunset too! Galina the wedding coordinator is amazing. She is very organized, attentive and responsive and makes the wedding day seamless. Every detail was executed with perfection and on time. Marco Beach Ocean Resort is a beautiful venue. Our guests loved every minute as did we. You won’t be disappointed! Yuri from DiBOX Events (DJ) comes highly recommended as well. Very professional. We also LOVED Emma Burdis photography. She is AMAZING!! We now have the most perfect pictures from our special day.

Can't say enough about Galina at MBOR, she is amazing. From the first contact to the followup after our daughters wedding Galina is in contact with you and wants to know that everything is perfect. We are had our daughters wedding here as a destination wedding and having Galina eased our anxiety and stress in all the planning. Galina is well organized has a great list of vendors to work with. On top of that Sale e Pepe staff and managers were wonderful, best team on the island. We are so happy to have chosen the Marco Ocean Beach Resort as our place for our daughters destination wedding, no second thoughts at all...Galina and Sale e Pepe are Top Notch!!!!!!

When we started exploring wedding venues, we didn’t have any specifics in mind, we just knew in the end memories and pictures will what we will have to look back at. So, it was more about location for our beach destination wedding. Marco Island was THE location. We had visited other venues and resorts in Florida and on the island, but nothing really spoke to us. We’ve been to weddings where you are just the 3rd or 5th wedding on the same night and you end up running into someone else’s wedding. That is until we went to MBOR. The terrace with the best sunset view, the boardwalk that takes you down a bridal pathway of Florida’s natural paradise, the roman architect, the intimate setting, where staff knows you by name, so many possible wedding images came to mind. But at this point we hadn’t even tried the food…So we decided on our first night at MBOR to try Sale e Pepe. At this point there was no question about it…MBOR was our venue!! Not once throughout our year wedding planning did we ever question choosing MBOR. There is something to be said about the professionalism, knowledge, and friendliness at any venue but the staff at MBOR are something to be desired and even more specifically, for your wedding! From the beach staff to the wedding coordinator, perfection are the only words. Galina, the on-site wedding coordinator, flawlessly managed and coordinated our wedding like we were the only ones in the world, obviously not the case, but she is that magnificent at what she does. My wedding was not a dream, because a dream only last one night. My wedding has continued to be talked about as one of THE top best weddings, food, and views, my guest has ever been to. We don’t know how to explain just how lucky we are to have chosen this venue, and all the phenomenal vendors, MBOR recommended to us. But we are the happiest and most satisfied couple, that’s for sure! Thank you MBOR staff, Damir Frljak, (Banquet manager) for all your wine knowledge and expertise, Amal (beach attendant who promised he would work the night of our wedding, remembered us, and kept his promise, A YEAR LATER), Andrea Cirino (Chef), who personally checked on us anytime we showed up at MBOR throughout the year, and of course Mrs. Galina Manovska, a true superhero at managing and wedding coordinating. This team of folks belong on a reality TV show. We are going to miss our team of wedding friends at MBOR, but certainly will not be strangers to the resort. To future Brides and to our future anniversaries at MBOR!!Cheers!

Our wedding at MBOR was nothing short of an ABSOLUTE dream. Words don't even do our incredible experience justice—but we will give it a shot! Behind every remarkable event is an even more remarkable team. One of the best days of our lives surpassed perfection & exceeded even our highest expectations. We owe a HUGE thank you to not only our insanely talented vendors, but our Wedding Coordinator, Galina. A visionary, team leader, & passionate soul — Galina seamlessly orchestrated the best day of our lives. Her kindness, intuition, & communication is PREMIER. We couldn't be more grateful to have been given the opportunity to work with someone so insanely talented. Thank you, from the bottom of our hearts, MBOR for the most extraordinary wedding!!

We just returned from our honeymoon after getting married at MBOR on April 1st! Our wedding was absolutely a dream and every part of the evening felt magical. Galina and her team, as well as the hotel staff, were professional and delightful to work with! I am so happy that we had the opportunity to choose MBOR as our wedding site and the memories will last a lifetime!

We had our wedding at MBOR on Friday 12/3/21, and all I can say is it was everything we had dreamed of and more! If you are looking for a venue down here in south Florida I would recommend them 10/10. First off, the location was impeccable. We had our cocktail hour on the beach and dinner and dancing up on the terrace overlooking the Gulf of Mexico. It felt like a dream and everyone couldn’t stop raving about how beautiful and perfect everything was (still to this day!). Second, the food was amazing. It didn’t taste like the traditional wedding food. It was so delicious and they were so accommodating with everything we asked for. Third, the service there is short of none. From the start, Galina was so responsive and helpful throughout the entire time we were planning. She was so responsive and accommodating of all the different questions and changes I threw at her. Finally, the next day, we met everyone out on the beach to relax and have drinks in the sun, and it was the best way to continue our festivities since most of our guests were out of town. Everyone is still talking about it! We could not have asked for a better team or location for our big day!

Marco Ocean Beach Resort was recommended by our wedding planners, SBS, Naples, Fl. From the moment we met with Galina I was confident that our event would be a success. Despite last minute changes due to a cold front in Marco, our wedding reception was everything we hoped for… incredible service, delicious food, and a beautiful venue. I couldn’t be happier!

Marco Beach Ocean Resort is truly a one of a kind venue. We just got married here in December of 2021 and to say our wedding was executed seamlessly by the resort and our on-site coordinator, Galina, would be an understatement. Galina is not your typical Events Manager etc. Galina is truly an experienced, helpful, and organized wedding coordinator. Galina began contact with me over a year before our wedding and helped me through all sorts of details and planning items. At my first visit on site with her, she was so well prepared and I left the meeting feeling so confident in our plans. The service from the Sale Pepe staff is unmatched. We had the most wonderful, private tasting for our cocktail hour appetizers, entrees and wine service. The staff at MBOR makes you feel so special no matter where you are in the resort and is so polite and kind. The sunset terrace was my dream ceremony location as we got to be above the beach but not physically on the beach and the Gulf Ballroom is a beautiful room for your reception. Most of our wedding guests stayed on-site and were super pleased with their experience for the weekend. I can not recommend booking this venue enough. My husband and I can't wait to come back next year.

What an experience! My husband and I chose the Marco Beach Ocean Resort sight unseen for our destination beach wedding and we could not be happier with our selection. Galina, our wedding coordinator, is simply the best. She’s organized, responsive, professional and clearly enjoys what she does. She’s the perfect advocate for any bride and groom throughout their planning process. The Resort was incredibly accommodating to our families and guests, all of whom are still raving about the food during our reception. We went with filet, chicken and fish, but you will not be disappointed with anything you choose. The entire team at the Marco Beach Ocean Resort was focused on our experience and everyone, from the valets and front-desk team to the servers and bartenders, was singularly devoted to ensuring a perfect event. They succeeded. We can’t recommend this resort enough for your wedding, event or special day.

This is the most amazing wedding venue! You cannot beat the views! We had our wedding ceremony on the beach and our reception on the outdoor terrace. Galina and the team at Marco Beach Ocean Resort did a phenomenal job organizing our wedding!

I just recently got married at MBOR on Dec 5 2021. I literally can not say enough good things. First of all, the venue is stunning. You can not beat the view, the space on the outdoor terrace, the location, and the food!!! The food was unbelievable! The hotel is beautiful and our guests loved staying there! I HAVE to mention Galina who is the wedding planner at MBOR. Galina alone should be a reason to book a wedding at the resort. She was so amazing to work with from start to finish. She is incredibly organized making sure every single detail is accounted for and the timing of everything is on schedule. She is knowledgeable, she knows and works with all of the vendors and she will make sure that your wedding is absolutely perfect. My wedding day would not have been the perfect day that it was without Galina. I also have to mention the entire staff in general at the resort: the reservationists, the staff at the wedding including the waiters and bartenders and banquet manager - ALL of them AMAZING! Just such a gorgeous place to get married and you will work with the best people. I highly highly recommend!! I also want to mention that they only do 1 wedding a day so the place is dedicated to you vs other venues on Marco have multiple weddings a night! You will have the best wedding and the best experience here!

Marco Beach Ocean Resort exceeded all expectations for our daughter's wedding. Galina, the site coordinator was with us every step of the way. Her professionalism, guidance and patience over the course of 20 months of planning resulted in the most beautiful beach wedding we could have ever imagined. From our Friday night Poolside Reception, to the wedding and the Sunday Brunch her flawless attention to detail combined with outstanding service made our weekend of events go smoothly. You could even say it was magical!

Looking for a beach wedding venue, look no further! This place far exceeded our expectations! Galina is amazing. She made this wedding stress free! She was always prompt getting back to you during the planning of the wedding. The staff was so professional. They know how to do things right! The resort is beautiful and so is the beach! Our guests had the best time! The food was amazing! We had the cocktail hour and dinner on the terrace and I highly recommend it. Looking over the Gulf of Mexico what could be better! Every guest was offered a glass of wine as they entered the cocktail hour and appetizers were being passed. The tables were absolutely beautiful! You will not regret choosing this resort and having Galina help you have the wedding of your dreams. Our weekend was magical.

This venue surpassed our expectations throughout the entire wedding planning process. Not only was the venue space beautiful, but the wedding coordinator - Galina - was amazing! She is very organized, pleasant to work with, and makes everything go smoothy on your big day. We would highly recommend!

Through all of my wedding planning, Galina was completely organized, on schedule & just so quick to always respond and share details with me! Our wedding day could not have gone better & I have Galina to thank for that! With unexpected rain, she immediately rallied the troops & made changes so quickly to make the wedding everything id imagined still! Myself as well as my family and friends were SO completely impressed by it all. I was truly blown away. I understand why she does what she does because she is EXCEPTIONAL. She helped the day come together so beautifully and even helped bustle my dress lol. Galina is so wonderful; I am truly so happy we went with Marco Beach and to have had her on my team. She made my wedding day special. I’m forever grateful !!!

I can’t say enough good things about this resort. My absolute dream wedding was here a few days ago! Between the amazing scenery for a beach wedding, the incredible staff, *GALINA* (wedding coordinator), I couldn’t have asked for a better day. Our entire group of guests agreed this was the best vacation they ever had and best wedding they had ever been too! This resort puts you on their top priority list and takes care of you like no other. My husband and I had the best wedding we could’ve ever imagined and the best vacation stay a long with it. Look no further… this is your place!!

If you’re looking for a beach wedding this venue is the place to book for your dream wedding! The staff was always extremely nice and helpful when our guests stayed there. Galina made the wedding planning super easy and recommended some amazing vendors. One thing I loved is they do one wedding a day so there is no stress about the weather!

If you are looking for the absolute perfect wedding venue, rest assured, you've found it. My husband and I had our reception last weekend, 9/25/21, and we both left saying we had the best weekends of our lives. Our wedding was a destination wedding for most (1/2 of the wedding from New York, 1/2 from Chicago) and Galina and team could not have made it more seamless to host the wedding of our dreams for a large amount of out of town guests. When we first toured the venue with Karin earlier this year, we were in awe of the beauty of the venue, the amazing beach, the sunset terrace (an outdoor wedding but with a covered terrace - perfect!) but most importantly, the friendly wedding planning team and hotel staff that made the venue one to remember. Galina helped manage every detail seamlessly and was quick to respond, assist with any questions, etc. I could rest easy knowing my destination wedding was in good hands. She is truly a breath of fresh air. Upon arrival to the hotel for our wedding week, we were simply impressed by the bell hops (Doug, Joe and team), the sommelier that assisted with our tasting (Damir), the chefs (food is AMAZING), the bartenders (Hallie, Kista, Nathan, Jacob) and the Maitre D (Marco). These folks, as well as the entire MBOR team, made ourselves and our guests feel at home. The wedding itself was beautiful and a few of our guests told us it was the best wedding they've been to, to date. I'd rate it an 11/10 if I could. If you are searching for a perfect beach wedding, don't pass up Marco Beach Ocean Resort.

Our wedding day was perfect. There are no words that can describe how amazing the staff was at the Marco Beach Ocean Resort. Galina--perfection!!! She was there through every step of the way and kept us calm through the rescheduling and all the nonsense that Covid presented. We hired all the vendors from the MBOR vendor list and they were truly talented, professional and had wonderful communication skills. Marco Beach delivered everything they said they would and more... We are an older couple and have been married before, so we were expecting the best and we got perfection. The food was incredible and our guests still are raving about our day and we are all going back for our 1 year anniversary next year. Brides, have a visit at this venue. You will not be disappointed.

*LONG OVERDUE REVIEW MARRIED 2/8/20* Review: To be completely honest, this venue was the last on our list (keep reading..). This hotel didnt have many reviews at the time and from the pictures we saw didn’t compare to the neighboring hotels (oh, how VERY WRONG we were!) First, we went to the Naples hotels and the marco marriot. We almost signed on the dotted line at the marriot and can’t say enough how happy we did not do that! MBOR is the only hotel that could accommodate a real private feel wedding on the beach. Marriot showed us the new adult area that was beautiful and I asked this question really assuming it wouldn’t be a problem but this was the deal breaker that led us next door to our apt at the MBOR. I asked the marriot if they move the lounge chairs for the weddings and they said no but we can photoshop the people out of the photos. Um? That’s not what we want? Lol so when we went to the MBOR they said they move the chaise lounges and they put up a white sheet along with the side to create a true private ceremony on the beach! They even have security if people don’t follow the rules. We wanted a real sunset beach wedding and the mbor truly delivers. The moment you walk in to the marco ocean beach resort you feel a sense of boutique elegance mixed with hominess. It feels very personalized. The marriot felt like a cruise ship. MBOR only does 1 wedding a day. The whole hotel treats you like royalty and knows your name and family names because your the main event for the whole hotel. From the moment we signed with Linda we got in touch with Galina. Galina is incredible!! She was on top of the ball on absolutely everything. She is so professional and was basically a wedding planner with my wife and mom. The whole team at the MOBR is amazing. Everyone from the rooms manager to housekeeping to front desk to valet are so nice. They truly treat you like family and we now consider the MBOR to be our home away from home. Our wedding was so magical and there’s no venue that could’ve done what we wanted.

Marco Beach Ocean Resort was the perfect venue for our wedding! We could not have been happier! Our guests loved the beach ceremony and cocktail hour and we loved dancing the night away outside on the Terrace. The food and service are exceptional. One of the highlights of choosing MBOR is getting to work with Galina, MBOR's onsite events coordinator. She helps you pull together the wedding of your dreams and makes all of the details flow together seamlessly. INCREDIBLE venue and team of people here at the Marco Beach Ocean. Just wish I could do it again each year... :)

Best venue to stay at and get married at in Marco Island, Florida! I was a bride planning her wedding from Chicago so it was very nerve reckoning being the control freak that I am to plan from far away. In came Galina! She was INCREDIBLE! Galina, my Mother and I became fast friends. She was consistent in her follow up, outlined everything for us as we were planning from afar and gave great suggestions regarding vendors. She was also so organized the month leading up to the wedding. I never once worried about a thing because Galina has such an amazing repour with vendors that they too trust in her. No timeline was incorrect, everything was so meticulously planned it was incredible. Our families & guests even loved Galina, she was there to ensure that everything went smoothly the day of the wedding and even sent Champagne and chocolates to our room and my parents’ room. She was so sweet, kind, funny, and made me feel like it was a family member helping us out throughout the way. As for the staff at the Marco Beach Ocean Resort.... You are working with simply the best!! Customer service is constantly at the forefront of this resort and venue. Everyone from housekeeping staff (Shout out to our girl Patrica, who left cute hearts & swans made out of towels on our bed,) Carmichael at the pool bar and banquet staff at the wedding reception. In addition, the wait staff, Somolier, Chef, everyone is so highly professional and well trained to make sure that there is no detail left undone and that you have everything you need. I would highly recommend this venue and would be happy to add any additional color or answer any questions. My husband and I love this resort and can't wait to come back to visit for our honeymoon! Thank you MBOR for making our wedding weekend the most special ever! Our guests are still talking about it.

Where to begin with this place, it is so truly magical! I want to begin by thanking Galina, the wedding coordinator on site. Like my husband says, she is a machine! Galina helped us with the planning and timeline of our wedding and she was so meticulous and precise that it made all of the stress of wedding planning fade away. Not only that, but she is an ABSOLUTE sweetheart! So kind and eager to help. Galina, we truly cannot thank you enough, our wedding was beyond our wildest dreams and we owe big part of that to you. Now, the service at MBOR is out of this world. The resort made us feel so special during our entire stay, leaving us champagne bottles, chocolates, complementary mimosas, and being so kind and attentive of our every need. From the valet to the servers, banquet captain, head chef, concierge I mean EVERYBODY was so thoughtful and nice!! To all the staff at MBOR we want to give you the biggest thank you, you made our day PERFECT from every angle! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!

My husband and I recently got married at MBOR and we were absolutely blown away by the entire experience. We are from North Carolina and planned the whole thing without ever visiting. The on-site wedding coordinator, Galina, was awesome and made the entire planning experience organized and enjoyable. This was an incredible resort and made for a beautiful venue!!!

This resort was perfect. So professional and more than beyond words. Galina was amazing and was the star. We love it here and will continue to frequent this resort! Thank you for everything :)

Galina is AMAZING!!!!! She was so helpful and very responsive. I highly recommend Marco Beach Ocean Resort! The resort is beautiful and I loved that they made our day feel extra special since they only do one wedding a day.

Wow... well where do I start?! We were planning our destination wedding from the UK which isn't always easy and Galina, our wedding planner was brilliant from start to finish. We had our tour Spring 2017 and absolutely fell in love with the venue. We really wanted a beach wedding and one of the reasons we loved this venue was that the backup ceremony location still had views on the beach in case of the weather. You can tell Galina could plan a wedding in her sleep as she asked me for details for the wedding I never would have thought of. Everything on the day was taken care of by Galina and I didn't have to worry about a thing. The service and the food was impeccable. The guests said the steak was one of the best they had ever eaten! The bar lady (I believe was called Annie?) gave such amazing service. She always had a bottle of Prosecco waiting for me and she saw my husband had an empty drink, so she would make one up of what he was drinking and pass it to a friend to give it to him as she saw he had finished his! We were staying at a villa nearby so we checked out the day after the wedding, however I had to go back to visit guests etc and the service they still provided me was amazing. They would say "congratulations" and "welcome back, so nice to see you". I honestly couldn't recommend this venue for you wedding enough!!!!!!! Thank you Marco Beach Ocean Resort.

We vacation to Marco Island annually so when we first got engaged, there we no second thoughts we wanted a beach wedding at MBOR. From the first emails send with Lynn Alexander, we knew we were making the right decision. The communication was always easy. We are from Kentucky so planning our wedding from over 1,000 miles away did not seem like an easy task- But it was! Galina, Angela and Lynn were always quick and detailed in their responses that went into planning our special day. All of the staff at MBOR was helpful, kind, and made sure our day was exactly how we wanted it! Since many of our guests were traveling from KY, we knew we wanted an event to welcome everyone and spend time with our guests aside from the wedding and MBOR was extremely kind and helpful to set up beach chairs and umbrellas in our own area to host our guests for a beach day! They assigned a server to our area specifically for our guests to order food and drinks as they please (shout out to Andre for being amazing and waiting on us hand & foot!). Each guest raved about the food and how specular the views were! Wedding planning was a breeze through MBOR!

My husband and I met in Marco Island a few years ago so thought what better place than to get married on Marco! We wanted to do it quickly so I googled and found this resort. Lynn, in sales, sold me on the resort and then Galina, their onsite coordinator made everything a breeze! She had an array of recommended vendors and we used just about everyone she had on her list. Flowers (Marco Island Florist) hair and makeup (Mirandas Hair World), sound and lighting (DIBOX) and the officiant (Dr. Rev. Jim Berger) all came from her. And then our very reasonably priced photographer came recommended by our officiant (Frank Simonetti). Galina's coordination from start to finish took literally all my stress away. She coordinated everything with the vendors. Every little detail she had handled so I could simply enjoy my day. The ceremony on the beach was just breathtaking and our dinner on the terrace got rave reviews. Details about our day: 35 guests, DIBOX did the music for the ceremony and then let us set up our MAC with sound and lighting on the terrace for the dinner which started with a cocktail hour. We ended the night at 10:30 and didn't have a designated dance floor but we ended up dancing around by the end anyways. We didn't have a wedding party or any of the regular reception traditions (cake, Bouquet toss, etc) and it's just the way we wanted it. I'm so so happy we picked the Marco Beach Ocean Resort for our wedding and would recommend them to anyone looking to do a destination beach wedding. Absolutely amazing!

The BEST Destination Wedding Location! My family has been vacationing in Marco Island, Florida for the last 30 years- the island is pure magic. When my husband and I decided to get married on Marco Island, we knew the Marco Beach Ocean Resort was the place. The resort is built on superior customer service and pleasing guests. The service, the food, rooms, staff, all incredible! And best of all, the resort has prime access to the beautiful beach and crystal ocean waters. When we met with the wedding team, Lynn and Galina, we knew our wedding was in good hands. Lynn worked with our budget and offered us the best package for what we wanted. She was nice, understanding, and a true professional. She was flexible and accommodating, and trustworthy. Galina, our wedding coordinator (employee of the MBOR) was AMAZING. Her communication and guidance through our 9 mos of planning was fun and there was very minimal stress. She was a trusted partner, kind, professional, and genuine. It is hard to find good people that will work hard for you, but she is one of the BEST there is. I could not have done all of the planning alone- she was an incredible value-add to us! I always worried that the stress and money that goes into a wedding would take the fun out of it, but I can honestly tell you that I enjoyed the process and it was money well spent. I can't believe my husband and I had the wedding we did. The MBOR staff really listened to our wants and needs and gave us the wedding of our dreams. All around, the MBOR is a place we will call home again soon. I encourage all brides who are getting married on Marco Island to look into this option. They only have one wedding per day, the team is so easy to work with, and they take great care of you. This was one of the best decisions my husband and I have ever made! Details about the Wedding: - Ceremony on the Sale e Pepe terrace - Cocktail hour on the beach - Reception on the Sale e Pepe terrace - After Party in the Toulouse Lounge - Makeup/hair team came to us at the resort (Miranda's Hairworld) - Rehearsal dinner at Quinn's (JW Marriott) - Visited MBOR in May to finalize all details for July wedding (food/wine tasting, tour completed) - Had 50 guests, budget was respected and kept!

We had our wedding here. It was so beautiful and we couldnt have asked for anything more. Galina and the staff there are so thorough and so accommodating. Their spa is awesome, the beach is awesome (food and drinks served there are so so good), the restaurant (Sale e Pepe) is beyond delicious, and everything is just perfect. We plan to go back every year for vacation now because we loved it so much. We had actually mever been there prior to our wedding week and they blew us away. It's a little pricey (like everything on Marco) but it's worth it. Just go a little off busy season and you're good to go. Highly recommend mbor for your wedding or vacation!!

Excellent place to have your wedding. MBOR is a beautiful resort on Marco Island. The beach is raked and set up beautifully for your wedding. I chose to do all my own decorations and the ballroom was beautiful. Galina made sure everything went smooth for our wedding day. She was also attentive during the whole process when we started 10 months ago planning. She was quick to respond to emails. The resort offered an amazing sit down dinner. Definitely recommend this place. Lastly, you are the only wedding for the day as oppose to other hotels on the island that do 3-4 weddings a day. We felt special to have our own day at MBOR.

Cannot say enough good things about the Marco Beach Ocean Resort. Our wedding on December 10th was absolutely PERFECT. Galina, our onsite coordinator, was so organized and professional and overall amazingly sweet person. She made the wedding planning process as stress-free as possible and had every detail covered. And unlike some of the bigger resorts, there is only one wedding on your day so Galina and all the staff can focus completely on YOU! The venue itself was gorgeous and all of the staff the day of the wedding very helpful and professional. And I haven't even mentioned the food -- delicious. Our guests are still raving about it. We looked at a lot of venues in the Marco Island/Naples area and by far, the Marco Beach Ocean Resort was the most attentive and impressive. You will NOT be disappointed if you select this amazing spot for your special day. LOVED EVERYTHING!

I'm not sure where to even begin.. Choosing MBOR was an easy decision from the first time we had contact. Galina(the wedding coordinator) was absolutely amazing!! Her attention to detail, patience, and responsiveness made the whole destination wedding process so stress free. We were truly privileged to have her and the entire staff be a part of our wedding. Any vendor I contacted had nothing but GREAT things to say about Galina-word of mouth says a lot. She and the team lived up to every expectation and then some. The venue is absolutely breath-taking. The staff is attentive to the entire wedding and guests. We have heard many times from guests that this was the BEST wedding/venue they've been to and the food was AMAZING!!!!! Both rehearsal and the wedding went without a hitch because Galina was always proactive and organized about everything. We emailed and talked frequently throughout the almost 1 year process and I will miss our regular talks. She is absolutely wonderful and was more than just a wedding coordinator. As many vendors have told us, we were "very lucky to have Galina" on our side. We can't wait to be back for our anniversary!

We can't even begin to describe how happy we were with our wedding at the Marco Beach Ocean Resort. We have been working with Galina over the past year to put together our dream destination wedding and we couldn't be happier with the results. Our guests could not stop commenting about how beautiful everything looked, how great the food was and the exceptional level of service that they received. Galina went above and beyond to meet our expectations and to make sure that the day flowed perfectly. I highly recommend this resort, not only for a wedding but also for a relaxing vacation.

My husband and I got married April 10, 2016 at Marco Beach Ocean Resort - and it was absolutely perfect! Such a stunning wedding venue with indoor/outdoor spaces, amazing (AMAZING) food, and spectacular customer service. Planning the wedding from Minnesota was an adventure. A lot of vendors I booked without meeting/seeing them. But I was able to go to Marco for a long weekend in February. I walked through the Marco Beach Ocean Resort lobby and was blown away by the kind and helpful staff - the bell hops, the front desk, concierge, everyone! We had our tasting at Sale e Pepe and were highly impressed. My parents gave rave reviews. When we arrived for the wedding, it just got better and better. It was the perfect backdrop to celebrate on the beach with 92 guests. We got married on the beach, followed by a cocktail hour on the beach, then dinner on the terrace, and dancing in the ballroom. It was magical. The wedding coordinator at MBOR, Galina Manovska, was extremely helpful to me. She’s super organized, a great communicator, and full of information - plus, she’s charming! I’m so thankful we had her expertise! The Hewitts can’t wait to make an anniversary trip back!

My husband and I got married at the Marco Beach Ocean Resort on 12.5.14 and had the most perfect day and experience of our lives. We had the most amazing day and cannot rave enough about the quality of service, professionalism and attention to detail by the lovely staff there. Our wedding coordinator Galina was truly amazing and made our day stress free and fun. Her and her staff took care of every detail and made it the most beautiful day for us. I would highly recommend this resort for a wedding. The hotel is gorgeous and welcoming, the suites are the perfect size with full kitchens and beach views, the food is absolutely first rate and again the staff is so friendly and inviting. Our guests have been raving about how beautiful the day was and we have the staff at Marco Beach Ocean Resort to thank for that.

I cannot say enough about my wedding at the Marco Ocean Beach Resort. Knowing that I was having a beach wedding, I was worried that the weather would not hold up. I had my wedding on May 17th, 2014 and it was BEAUTIFUL. The staff was absolutely amazing and extremely organized, and the food was amazing. I was worried that when they reproduced the food for our 100 guests, it would not be as good, but that was not the case. If you are considering MOBR, do not hesitate. My wedding was beautiful and everything went perfect.

Just had my wedding at MBOR a month ago and It was fantastic! The resort is beautiful! The staff are so accommodating and friendly. Corrin is an absolute pleasure to work with! I couldn't have asked for a better wedding coordinator. It was the wedding of my dreams and I highly recommend this venue!

From the very first conversation I had with Betsy, I knew that MBOR was the right place for us to get married. Betsy was SO helpful in answering all of my questions and very upfront and thorough with her explanations about everything. The wedding coordinator, Corrin, was so on top of everything!!! She helped me go step by step through the process of planning a wedding from afar. The days leading up to the wedding and the day of the wedding Corrin took care of SO many details and coordinated with all of our vendors. Everything turned out PERFECT and the event was flawless! There were no surprises and all of the staff was amazing at providing us the best service I have ever received. I could not say enough great things about our experience at Marco Beach Ocean Resort. We will definitely be back to visit for our anniversary in the future!

We had our wedding at MBOR without ever visiting the resort beforehand. Let me tell you, I was a little nervous since we never were at Marco Island or the resort, but I just had to trust the pictures and reviews I read online and hope for the best. We are so happy we picked this place as I don't think it could have been better. Corrin the coordinator at the resort is so sweet and accomodating, she answered all my questions, we mainly remained in contact by email. All of the staff at the resort was amazing, the rooms at the resort were amazing as well. When we checked into the resort, I had left my box of decorations at the front desk to be delivered to Corrin, I didn't give any specific instructions or anything and the staff placed everything just as I wanted it. It was as if they read my mind, although I'm sure with the millions of weddings they have done, they know what to do, but still I was just stunned. We had a small wedding of 22 guests and everyone had a fantastic time and commented that it was so beautiful. We had our "reception" (dinner) at the restaurant Sale e Pepe and the food was fantastic, they even had a Tiramisu wedding cake as I did not want to order an outside wedding cake. There is nothing that I would have changed and nothing more I could have asked for.

Corrin was great to work with and a true professional! She was so easy to work with and very accommodating. Our ceremony and reception was amazing! The food was positively delicious and very fresh! Many of our guests still talk about the great food. Our ceremony was outside and despite the rainy/cloudy weather we had leading up to the ceremony everything went smoothly thanks to Corrin. The resort is beautiful and staff members are very kind!

I truly mean it when we say that our wedding here was AMAZING. If you appreciate beautiful views of the Gulf, kind people, a beautiful sunset and genuinely good times, consider having your wedding here. The staff at the Marco Beach Ocean Resort treated our family and friends with constant smiles and exceptional service.Everything the MBOR staff did for us with regards to our wedding surpassed our expectations. They went above and beyond to not only be helpful, but to be genuinely pleasant & kind to us & our guests. The wedding staff here was very eager to please &incredibly helpful throughout my planning process. Corrin, the wedding coordinator is nothing short of amazing. I was overwhelmed at many points during our planning since I have a very busy career and live out of town, but she made things so easy for me. She helped me think about details of the day I hadn’t even considered yet, and I truly appreciated her taking the time to run through all of these items with me. It seems like I bugged her a million times, but she always answered me promptly and with a great attitude. The day of the wedding, she kept everything moving and paid attention to the tiniest details that I as the bride couldn’t dream to remember on my big day. She worked around our schedule for the rehearsal even though she had another wedding that night and I really appreciated that. As soon as my husband and I finished saying our vows, she greeted both of us at the edge of the beach with a glass of champagne. It was a lovely touch and exactly what I wanted at the time even though I didn’t even realize it until she handed it to me. Countless people kept coming up to my husband and I the day after the wedding to rave about how great the food was and many told us it was the best food they’ve ever had at a wedding. We care very much about what our guests’ experience would be so we were concerned about the food going into the wedding. When a kitchen has to prepare over 70 filet mignons at one time, we were worried that the filets may come out dry, or over cooked. THAT was NOT the case here. Every single person we asked during and after the wedding said their filet was cooked perfectly and tasted delicious. As far as the hors d’oeuvres, they were delicious and after the wedding, our friends and family couldn’t stop raving about the beef wellington and mini-crab cones. We have many male friends with large appetites and they said they were almost full just from the tasty hors d’oeuvres at cocktail hour, so the staff had plenty in supply. When you pay for unlimited hors d’oeuvres, it’s nice to hear people had their fill and we “got what we paid for.” My husband and I were too busy taking photos to make it to cocktail hour, but the staff was nice enough to bring some leftovers to our dinner table. My husband complimented Page (I believe he is the F&B director-SUPER polite and helpful) on the beef wellington, so then, completely unsolicited, Page brought my husband another two-tiered tray of beef wellington. Gestures like that showed how much the people who helped with my wedding at this resort truly cared about our experience. Page went above and beyond the entire evening to make sure my husband and I had everything we needed. I highly recommend MBOR for any future bride--you won't be disappointed in any are! Great location, great food, great staff, and great picture opportunities! Working with Corrin is a dream and you will be happy you chose her & this resort.

Marco Beach Ocean Resort was so easy to work with & it is obvious they only want the best for their clients from the moment you walk in for your interview. MBOR's wedding coordinator, Corrin, is kind, patient & extremely knowledgeable- basically- everything you could ever want in a coordinator. MBOR is a great location, I highly recommend having your ceremony here, on the beach (weather permitting). MBOR only has one event per day (unlike some larger hotels)& they are sure to give you all of their attention. I think it is the most beautifully designed hotel on the island. The interiors are upscale & elegant with hints of Italian influence & the exterior spaces reflect the same with a lot of lush landscaping. The theme of our wedding was upscale/modern beach with a twist of old-Hollywood- and Marco Beach Ocean Resort is definitely all of these things. Our reception was actually held on the veranda of Marco Beach Ocean Resort's restaurant: Sale e Pepe. The veranda is perfect for cocktails, where guests can watch the sunset & chat with each other. We love the beach so much we also opted to have our dinner on the veranda, which worked out perfectly. Our guests (most of whom were from the Northeast) loved having dinner outside & soaking up the good weather in a gorgeous location. On the day of, Corrin was calm, helpful & on her game- she made sure everything and everyone was where it/they should be; I had little to nothing to worry about. The service staff was very accommodating, we loved everyone- from the banquet manager to the bartender to the servers who zipped in and out. The food. The food is absolutely amazing. When we went for our tasting, we were absolutely blown away with how perfect everything was- it was so hard to make a decision. In fact, we ended up offering our guests a much larger menu than MBOR normally provides, but they were more than willing to accommodate our requests. We received many compliments throughout the night and many days following our wedding & we can say without hesitation that our wedding was wonderful because Marco Beach Ocean Resort.

We stayed at the Marco Beach Ocean Resort the night before the wedding and all the family stayed the next night as well. This resort was gorgeous! Everyone working here was wonderful as well! The views of the gulf and gardens were breathtaking! Would definitely stay here again!

Perfect place on Marco to have a wedding. Can not ask for better quality and service.

I love this place, we have been there a few times before. Corrin Green, the wedding coordinator is the nicest person to work with, this was a destination wedding and I felt completely comfortable with everyone at the resort handling all the details. I would definitely look into this place before any other in Naples or Marco Island area.

We had such such an incredible experience with Marco Beach Ocean Resort!!! From the first moment of dealing with the wedding coordinator, Corrin Green, we were so pleased. She was very easy to work with, helpful, and responded quickly to inquiries and requests. Because of her hard work, we were able to relax and enjoy our wedding day & not worry about the details (because they were being taken care of for us!!) Another hotel coordinator, Jamie Marsh, was actually there for our wedding day (as Corrin had a prior commitment) and though we were nervous at first, found her to be just as fabulous as Corrin. We could not have asked for a better wedding site (BEAUTIFUL white beaches and the hotel has great architecture!) or better people to work with. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR MAKING MY WEDDING PERFECT! :)

I cannot say enough about this resort and the beauty of my wedding. FABULOUS! It felt like a $50K wedding, and we pulled it off for about $10 (which is darn cheap these days!) We had a total of 35 people, small helps with cost, but the entire day was great. The wedding staff was excellent, i didn't have a worry all day they took care of everything flawlessly- from set of of ceremony, to serving dinner (great food!), to the reception, it flowed great. I wish I could do this wedding 100x again it was so perfect!

Not only is the Marco Beach Ocean resort on a beautiful beach with a stunning setting for a wedding, what really sets MBOR apart is Corrin! Corrin is the resort wedding coordinator and really does an amazing job leading up to and running the day! Corrin made us feel so special! I can not thank her enough and the MBOR is lucky to have her! She organized all the details and the day ran very smoothly! Not only is Corrin amazing, but the guest rooms are stunning, all of our guests had an amazing time! The food was amazing as well and you really feel as though you are having a fine meal, not just banquet food! All in all I am so happy we found the Marco Beach Ocean Resort and were married there! Marco Beach Ocean resort is a great find if you are looking for more personal service and a more intimate setting than some of the Marco alternatives. Everyone with the hotel helped make our wedding day and weekend so specal!

To start off with the sunsets in marco are the best. Then you put a beautiful resort there and presto great venue. Their location on the beach could not be better. We choose this location insead of others near by because we wanted to be the only wedding that day. The food was wonderful our coordinater was very helpful as well.

My husband and I had a great experience working with Corrin to plan our wedding from across the country. She was warm, helpful, resourceful, and right on top of things on the wedding day. And we loved the vendors that she helped us choose for music, photograpy, flowers, cake, etc. The restaurant and bar staff were gracious and helpful, and the food was excellent. Everything just seemed to come together on that day without us having to worry about it. Suggestion to brides: consider the terrace for your ceremony. We had the rare December Marco Island rainstorm on our wedding day, which kept us from having the ceremony on the beach. I hadn't even considered a Plan B, but we moved the ceremony to the terrace, and loved the setting, view, etc. It's more private than the beach, although nothing beats marco beach at sunset for photos (luckily it cleared up in time for us to go down after the ceremony). We had so much fun - wish we could do it again!!

I had planned my whole wedding from out of state which meant I was getting married site unseen! The pictures do not it justice. Not only is the resort breathtaking but the service was excellent as well. The wedding coordinator paid attention to all of our small details and did a wonderful job at making our day personal to us! The beach is gorgeous and the reception was elegant and romantic. If I had to do our wedding day over again I would not change a thing!

Great food and service during our buffet dinner. Beautiful location on the Terrace. Unimpressed with the wedding coordinator, and no response to follow up emails from higher management after the wedding.

We got married on the beach and then had dinner on the terrace which was absolutley amazing. It is a perfect place to have dinner on the beach but not be in the sand. Great veiws, wonderful service and great atmosphere. The wedding cordinator was excellent to work with and was always available if I had any questions. I would highly recommend the Marco Beach Ocean Resort!

The wedding coordinator, Ann Gardner, was a dream to work with. She went above and beyond to make everything just the way we wanted it. The ballroom is beautiful and perfect size for our 60 guests. It wasn't too large or too small. The food was absolutely wonderful and the wait staff was very helpful and polite.

Beautiful location, amazing areas for pictures, great staff.;Pick the right location in the resort for the amount of guests that you have.
