We got married in March 2024 - overall we are pretty satisfied with everything the Sirata offered and all of Kelli Love's coordination and support throughout the planning process. We loved our beach ceremony, outdoor cocktail hour and reception on the 8th floor. The reasons that I am giving the venue 5 stars vs 4 are relatively minor, but are still areas that would potentially make me reconsider if I had to do everything all over again so wanted to share with future couples.
Pros:
1) Kelli Love, our coordinator, was super responsive and helpful during the planning process. We loved that the venue, bar, catering was all combined into one seamless package alleviating some of the planning stress on my husband and I.
2) the beach ceremony, outdoor cocktail hour, and reception on the 8th floor were seamlessly executed from one location to the next. I loved that our ceremony wasn't being interrupted by ignorant or rude beach goers because they ensure you have a bit of privacy and space for your ceremony during that time.
3) lots of guest feedback that they loved the food - especially the late night snack options (we did pretzels with beer cheese and quesadillas that everyone raved about)
Cons:
1) My husband and I felt the drinks were extremely light on alcohol. It was bad to the point that I had guests come up to me the next day giving that same feedback. I understand watering down the drinks to some degree when you have an open bar for 5 hours, but one of my bridesmaids said to me point blank during the reception "this is my 6th vodka soda and I don't feel like I've had a single drink". Again, not saying we all wanted to be out there wasted by any means - but part of the fun of going to to a wedding is getting a little bit of liquid courage to hit the dance floor and I think that was missing for a lot of our guests, and was disappointing when you're paying as much as you do for an open bar. To add to this, the bartender was ZERO percent friendly - which I also received a lot of feedback from guests on.
2) We wanted to use the Sirata for our guest room block, but we ended up going a different direction because they have a lot of stipulations. For example, they required guests book 2 consecutive nights at minimum for it to count towards your room block and there was a significantly hefty fee that you would be left with if you didn't meet your room block requirements. We wished there was a bit more flexibility in how the room nightly minimums could be met. We ended up going with the Tradewinds, a resort a few doors down, because they had this flexibility. Our guests all LOVED staying there, so it did work out - but from a planning perspective I would've loved to keep everything in one place for simplicity.
3) For decorations and wanting to store wedding materials for the ceremony/reception, they didn't have any space whatsoever. And because we didn't do the room block at the Sirata, we didn't have a room to store all of our stuff as they suggested. We ended up having to get family members the morning of the wedding help drop off all our decor. Again everything worked out, but was highly inconvenient.

My husband and I had our perfect beach wedding at the Sirata Beach Resort. Kelli Love and her team did absolutely everything and more than we could have imagined. You hear stories about how stressful planning a wedding is and everything that comes with it. We didn’t feel that way at all, Kelli and her team have been doing this for 20years. When she suggested something we went with it considering she has seen it all, so why would we go the opposite way. To the future couples who want the beautiful beach wedding and want an easy wedding day look no further than at the Sirata with Kelli love and her team. We couldn’t thank them enough!!

Having our wedding at Sirata Beach Resort was the best decision we made. We knew we wanted to have a destination wedding, but had no idea where to start with the logistics. We visited 4 hotels in the area, and the minute we stepped foot on Sirata’s property, and met Kelli Love, we knew we had found the place.
Throughout the whole wedding planning process, Kelli was extremely organized and put my mind at ease when I physically lived thousands of miles away. She was patient and responsive with all my questions, and you can tell the entire staff at Sirata is a well-oiled machine. We only had one visit to Sirata during our entire planning process (for our tasting), and still not ONE thing went wrong our on wedding day. Kelli and her team also have an amazing list of preferred vendors, which made the few things I did have to do on my own extremely easy. We received so many compliments on how good our cocktail hour and reception food was, and the staff made sure my husband and I were well fed, which is so important. (They always say you’ll forget to eat on your wedding day, and it’s absolutely true).
A few important shout outs if you get the chance to work with any of these folks at Sirata: Kelli and Jessica are the two main coordinators. They both went above and beyond to help with our décor, keep our bridal party in line, and thought of every single logistic so I didn’t have to. Melissa was a tremendous help during our rehearsal, ceremony, and reception, and made sure that all of our events were timely and perfect. Greyson at the front desk made sure our guests were taken care of, and went above and beyond to make sure all the rooms in our block were comfortable for them. Shanna and Jakeya helped tremendously with our room block, and even helped deliver welcome bags for our guests at check-in. Derek, our reception bartender, made our drinks strong and delicious, and all our guests loved him! All the staff at the two bars on the property, particularly Shanna and Kevin, made sure we were well-fed all weekend and made sure our guests always had a drink in their hand. 😊 Everyone you meet at Sirata is so friendly, and made us and our guests feel so welcome.
The entire crew at the Sirata brought our dream wedding to life, far beyond anything we could have imagined. The property is absolutely perfect for an extended weekend for out-of-town guests. On top of our ceremony and reception, we had a welcome party the night before at Rum Runners, and a farewell brunch the next day at Harry’s. Our guests appreciated how easy all the logistics were, which is exactly what we wanted for our destination wedding. The property is also dog friendly, so we were able to have our beloved pug stand up in our wedding. Sirata not only helped with the permits to have him on the beach, but they ENCOURAGED our obsession with our dog 😊
It's been a month since our wedding and I’m still emotional thinking about how grateful I am to Kelli and the entire Sirata staff. If you want a perfect beach wedding, with great food, good drinks, and friendly staff, this is your place.

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 we’d do it all over again if we could, though hopefully with better follow through. 💙

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 isn’t 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 wouldn’t change a thing about those at all.

I can’t say enough amazing things about our wedding here. First of all, Jessica Bentley was an absolutely JOY to work with, and she made the planning process so incredibly easy. There were plenty of venue options, and the prices were so so worth what we paid. We loved the food for both the rehearsal dinner & reception as well as the options for the open bar. Our guests were raving at how beautiful it was & we are so so happy we had our special day here!

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. She responded very quickly with any question I had and made sure that every detail was taken care of. I would highly recommend Jessica (venue coordinator) and Sirata Beach Resort.

I can’t say it enough, they were so amazing during the entire planning process and wedding day! Everything was so perfect on our wedding day! The food was incredible and the staff during our reception was just amazing! They were pleasant and accommodating, always helping make our night about us and making sure we had a great time! I would not have changed a single thing! Everyone was great, but especially Jessica, our coordinator for made our day so wonderful and took a lot of the anxiety and stress away from us! She was very responsive and answered the many questions I had from the moment we booked to right up to the actual ceremony! We had our ceremony on the beach and the reception in the tent near the beach. It was beautiful and the reception was the perfect size for our 90 guests, intimate enough that we were close, but big enough that it didn’t feel like we were squeezed in! We had a DJ, photo booth, gift table, an artist doing a live painting, and dessert table which all fit just fine with plenty of room! Of course there was the bar and buffet, as well. It was all just wonderful, we would pick Sirata over and over again!

We hosted our wedding reception at the Sirata Beach Resort under the Coconut Palm Pavilion and we are SO happy with how it turned out! It was perfect for our small wedding of 50 people. Right on the beach, air conditioned, plenty of space, great food! Only downfall when booking the pavilion is that the bathroom is a small hike but our guests didn’t seemed bothered. Jessica was our event manager and she was so wonderful to work with. She was helpful, accommodating, organized, and super kind! We’re really grateful to have worked with her and we highly recommend the Sirata! Really beautiful resort right on the beach, can’t beat it!

The Sirata was EXACTLY what I pictured for my destination beach wedding! We couldn’t have picked a better venue. From the first time we arrived to the day we said “I do” it was nothing but exceptional. We got a tour and decided immediately this is it! 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 “one stop shop” 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. The venue coordinator, Jessica, was incredible and helped us make our big day perfect. She is a true professional and great at what she does. She was always available to answer any questions and was so quick to respond. From the vendor recommendation list to accommodating last minute changes and everything in between. Our day went smoothly and was perfect and that’s all thanks to Jessica and her team!! If you're thinking about having your wedding or event here, you will not regret it! I can’t tell you enough how much of a fairy tale this venue is. Do NOT pass this place up, if you are looking for something small or big they can accommodate you! Thank you Jessica & Sirata Team!

Choosing the Sirata Beach Resort for our wedding venue was the easiest and best choice we ever made. Kelli, Jessica & their team did an exceptional job of making our beach wedding dreams come true! The Coconut Palm Pavilion was the perfect size venue for all of our guests to have an outdoor covered beach venue that was safe and allowed all of our guests to stay on site. We loved the flexibility that our guests had to arrive early or stay after at the resort as this was a destination wedding for 95% of our guests. We also hosted our small rehearsal dinner in the private tiki hut at Rum Runners and were very pleased with our meals and experience.
From the first communications & site visit to the rehearsal & day of, we always felt comfortable and supported by the Sirata team and the level of service that we received from them. The food, service and accommodations were all exceptional. We had a wedding planner pre-arranged, but I am confident that Kelli & Jessica would have provided the expertise needed if it was needed. They were beyond welcoming, accommodating & supportive. My husband & I, our families and our guests all raved about the wedding and the Sirata and can’t wait to come back and visit with fond memories of our wedding weekend. We highly recommend the Sirata Beach Resort for your wedding venue & catering needs!

Having my wedding at Sirata Beach Resort was a dream come true! I always wanted a beach wedding followed by a beach reception on the Gulf Coast... which was surprisingly hard to find. However, thanks to Sirata, they were able to make this happen with their Coconut Palm Pavillion!
I was also looking for a place that could accommodate our large families all in one place with amenities to help entertain the kids. Sirata was perfect for this. They were able to accommodate more than 40 room blocks for our event. Their grounds are SPECTACULAR for families and kids with 2 pools, a splash pad, and activity booth with planned activities offered every day! All our family and friends enjoyed Sirata’s grounds!
Working with Jessica and Kelli made everything so easy. We had a couple hiccups along the way (to be expected when you’re planning such a large event), but they did everything in their power to help fix and smooth things over. They went above and beyond to make sure our day was perfect! ... and it truly was!
In addition, the reception staff were super friendly, the food was amazing, and all communication leading up to the day, as well as the day of, was fantastic!
If you are looking to book your venue with people who truly care about you and your special day, then this is the place! They won’t let you down.
Thank you Jessica and Kelli for all your help, effort, and time! We absolutely loved getting to know you and planning our wedding with you. We will always cherish the memories we made with you and at Sirata Beach Resort!

Can not express how amazing it was to have our wedding here at Sirata. I was planning a destination wedding and during covid so it was challenging at times. Kelli and Jessica are experts at what they do. Always answering my emails and calls. Met with me over FaceTime multiple times. Always happy to help. When it came to the big day they were there for me and my husband for anything we needed. The staff that ran our reception was exceptional!!! So kind and attentive to our wedding guests. Very pleased and I can’t wait to visit the beautiful views Sirata has to offer again in the near future.

We had a beautiful wedding here and everything went so smooth thanks to the staff and our day of coordinator, Jessica. The guests loved the food and commented on how organized everything was. Jessica was extremely helpful throughout the entire process, quickly answering any questions we had. She was also amazing on the day prior to and the day of the wedding and ensured everything was on time and running smooth. She even coordinated with my vendors to ensure they arrived and knew where to go so I didn’t have to worry about it (which was extremely helpful since I didn’t have a wedding planner). The Sirata also does a lot of prep work for you (i.e., setting up tables, chairs, linens, napkins, etc; they even have some decorations you can use if you choose). Overall a wonderful experience and the guests loved it!

We celebrated our wedding at the Sirata and couldn't have asked for a better set-up. The location, food, price, staff, etc was incredible. The wedding weekend went off perfectly and received so many compliments from our family and friends. I would like to especially recognize Kelli Love who was our onsite wedding coordinator. Kelli was flawless at the planning, communication and such a pleasure to work with. She eliminated any stress that we had! I also want to mention Ashley Woelfer in the room reservations team. Ashley was always such a joy to work with in regards to getting hotel rooms reserved, wedding blocks and provided our guest an incredible experience.

We had a spectacular wedding at the Sirata ! We had our reception at the Royal Palm ballroom which has amazing views of st pete beach and the bay ! it wowed our guest especially during sunset. Our ceremony and cocktail hour were on the breezeway beach and deck and it was perfect! We had specialty his and hers drinks which people loved but the big his was the food! The Floribbean buffet was properly covered and served safely to our guests and the taste and flavors were amazing, it was a huge hit ! And we had so many people within the food industry there including several executive chef's and they loved it ! Kelli and Jessica were awesome to work with. They always responded to our emails (the 1000x that i think i sent lol) and we kept in constant communication. The day of the wedding they were on point, right there to make sure our day went smoothly and perfect and on time. The staff were so great and friendly which made our day that much better. Thank you Sirata for making our day so special and perfect.

I cannot say enough about Sirata and the wedding team there! My now husband and I are from MD, so planning a wedding in FL was made easy thanks to Sirata! 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! The day of the wedding I remember texting Kelli multiple times to ask questions regarding setting up or if I forgot something, and she was there to help no matter what we needed. They also got along so well with our group which made it fun! The team really made sure my husband and I had the best day, and we did. I cannot say enough good things about Kelli and her team! If we could do it again, we would!!!!

My daughters wedding was absolutely beautiful this weekend and the Sirata staff did an incredible job! Kelli and Jessica made this event so special for us. They paid attention to EVERY little detail and helped make this an incredible experience. The venue is of course gorgeous but it was the staff that made the huge difference! I travel for a living and until COVID stayed in hotels every week. The service levels at the Sirata are superior to most other hotels I have stayed in. If you are thinking about having your wedding there, don't hesitate! They book up fast and you will be so glad you chose them, we are!!

Kelli Love made our dream wedding come true! We begin working with the Sirata around September 2019 (for our August 8, 2020 wedding date)! From the very beginning, Kelli tended to all of our needs. She helped us find vendors from afar as this was a destination wedding that we were planning from Iowa. As Covid-19 had it's grips on the country in early Spring, Kelli communicated with us throughout to give us state/county updates and ensure that we were going to have the wedding that we always wanted. We had a make a few small adjustments (change reception rooms to allow for social distancing and update our guests about housekeeping), but nevertheless our big day was PERFECT! All of our guests enjoyed their accommodations, the amenities (pool, beach, beach chairs, bars, etc...) and of course the wedding festivities! Thank you to the Sirata Resort and Kelli Love for helping deliver the wedding of our dreams!

We got married at Sirata on March 21, 2020. With COVID-19 we were quickly having to re-do our vision of our wedding on almost a daily basis to keep up with all the changes. Kelli Love could not have been more accommodating! The team at Sirata made sure we had the wedding of our dreams. The ceremony site on the beach was absolutely breathtaking, and having our reception in the Coconut Palm Pavilion right on the beach worked out perfectly! From the time we toured Sirata through the day of our wedding they went above and beyond to help us plan our day. We loved that so many aspects of our wedding were included and that they offered so much help during planning and the day of. I HIGHLY recommend.

We hosted out wedding at the Sirata Beach Resort and it was incredible! We had our rehearsal dinner, ceremony and reception at the resort and Kelli & Jessica ensured everything went on without any hiccups! I cannot even begin to explain how amazing Kelli and Jessica were. They made sure everything from the decor, food, guests, etc were taken care. I worried about nothing! They even kept an eye on all the groomsmen to make sure they didn't celebrate too much before the ceremony ;D We had a rock and roll theme to our wedding that involved a lot of creativity and Kelli got very involved and even threw in some ideas that we used! The ceremony setup and scenery is gorgeous as well as the Royal Palm ballroom with sights of the beach, tropicana/downtown st pete, and the skyway bridge. All the lights lit up at night are beautiful and makes for an amazing backdrop. On top of that, the food was incredible! We selected the beef and chicken option. So many of our guests said it was one of the best steaks they have ever had. I could write a book with this review but overall this was the perfect venue for our wedding!

We got married here on the beach back in March and it was amazing. It was a destination wedding so I planned everything from PA and Kelli Love was great with responding and helping me out with anything I needed, she’s awesome at her job! The food is amazing and the staff is so accommodating, everything turned out perfect with no complaints. I will say the only downfall to having the reception in the coconut palm tent is the bathrooms being kinda far away but besides that, the tent is such a nice location for a reception. Definitely recommend this place for anyone wanting a beach wedding, couldn’t have asked for better place thank you all so much! Might I add, all of our guest kept telling us how much they loved it here

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 Sirata’s 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.

Having grown up on the beach in Florida, I always had a "dream beach wedding" in mind. When I met my fiance' we both had previous church weddings and knew we wanted to be married on the beach. There are so many beach wedding destinations near our home in St. Petersburg and we chose The Sirata Beach Resort. I am an extremely discerning professional with an eye for detail and let my wedding planner, Jennifer Jasper, know my high expectations from the beginning. I told her everything from the rooms, to the hotel amenities to the food had to be an exceptional experience for our guests. And boy did she DELIVER!
Jennifer was always a step ahead of me, helping me plan and making suggestions that were exceptional! I truly don't know what I would have done without her at my side. I could not believe a hotel would provide me with someone with such a high level of professionalism and expertise as Jennifer! I cannot recommend Jennifer enough! What I loved the most about her was that I am very hands on and she always welcomed meeting with me in person, even at the last minute as I worried about details of one sort or another.
She was in contact with me the day before my wedding and throughout my wedding day. She came up to my room to walk me downstairs and coordinated the most beautiful wedding one could ever hope for! Thank you Jennifer Jasper!
I would also like to extend a special thank you to the chef and food staff - our guests gave us amazing compliments on our reception dinner! I want to also thank Veena for taking excellent care of Jeff and I during our reception!

I’ll 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 he’s been waiting for the entirety of his daughter’s 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 he’d be staying on the same floor as his daughter. At the registration desk he was told by the Sirata staff that VIP doesn’t 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 groom’s grandparents had a similar issue at check-in as well – 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 they’d 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 weren’t 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 wasn’t 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 wouldn’t even begin to justify the emotion they’re feeling right now.

We would like to extend our sincerest apologies for the challenges en...
dured throughout the wedding weekend. We hold ourselves to a high standard of quality in both customer service as well as our product and we fell short of that for this couple.

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 “beachside” 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!

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!

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. Thank you, Sirata and THANK YOU KASEY!!!

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!

We were married this past weekend (08/25/2019) at the Sirata in the Coconut Palm Pavillion on the beach. The ceremony on the beach was absolutely amazing. We worked with the fabulous Kelli Love! We can not say enough great things about Kelli and the entire staff at the Sirata. Our ceremony was flawless and the reception was everything we wanted and beyond. Planning a wedding from New York was not an easy task, but Kelli made it quite effortless for us. All of our guests had an amazing time and raved about how fantastic the food was. The chef was so accommodating to all of our requests and our Gluten free guests had so many options! We are so grateful how fantastic everything came together. The Sirata is hands down the best choice for all your beach wedding needs, wants and desires. We wish we could relive this weekend every weekend. We made so many memories! Our guests that stayed at the Sirata loved their rooms and all of the amenities they offered. Our suite was amazing!
We loved our venue and the tent was everything we wanted. It allowed us to be on the beach but also enjoy the cool air conditioning for our reception. Thank you Kelli, Jessica, Chris, Eric and the entire staff at the Sirata for giving us the wedding we have been dreaming about!

My son and new daughter-in-law were married at the Sirata in late July 2019. We had family and friends attend and it was an amazing trip for everyone that came. Location was perfect for flights and activities; accommodations were great; the beach, pools, and restaurants were awesome; the food at the Meet n Greet and Reception was delicious and plentiful; and the service at both were absolutely the best; Rick (at the reception) absolutely delighted the Bride - It was like he was there for her specifically. Kelli (the onsite manager) and her staff (Jessica) made it as stress free as possible long distance and after we arrived. They handled all the issues with ease, provided nerve calming pieces of wisdom and confidence in beating the rain for the beach wedding. Would highly recommend Kelli and the Sirata for any event. Plan to return as soon as we can.

We started planning our wedding 2 years ago and Kasey Bussell was the first person we met at the Sirata Resort. Kasey was so professional and always will to help out wherever or whenever I needed her. Kasey was quick to answer any questions even when it was 100 emails a day she was patient with us. The Sirata Resort was great to all our guests and we had the best wedding weekend. Our ceremony was perfect all orchestrated by Kasey and we definitely couldn’t of done it without her. If you are looking for sandy white beach, beautiful sunsets and great service then the Sirata Resort is the place to be for weddings, celebrations or a vacation!

Sirata was absolutely beautiful. We didn't have a wedding, we had an experience. There are ads now on the NYC subway that says St. Pete's is the American Tropics. Well, it's right on! And the Sirata is a waterfront resort that captures it all. Rum Runners was great for evening and night time hangs and after reception drinks.

Any questions I had about the ceremony, reception set up, food, ect., Kasey had answers for me within the hour! She even checked on us through out the day of our wedding making sure we had everything we needed!
During our reception, the wait staff and bar staff were just as great! They were so friendly and made sure our guests and us had everything we needed!
So happy we chose the Sirata for our wedding venue!

We were looking at several venues until we found the Sirata, and we are so glad we did! We got married at the Sirata on 2/9/19. Kelli Love was our coordinator and she was fantastic. I would highly recommend this venue. Everything went so smooth and perfect. Our guests kept complimenting the wedding, staff, and property.

I don't even know where to begin to say THANK YOU! This venue was the perfect choice for our wedding! Our first visit to the venue was during the renovation process, which seemed very promising (yet a little scary to trust things would be done in time)! We had to envision a lot, and a lot of nice renovation idea boards were displayed. I can honestly say the renovations far surpassed my expectations! The ballroom was perfect for our wedding and Kasey was an absolute GEM to work with! She keyed us in on all of the fine details and ensured we had everything in place! We loved this place so much we did our Rehearsal Dinner, Reception & Farewell Breakfast there - the food & staff were AMAZING! Thank you for making our day so memorable! We will certainly be back to visit frequently!

We had our wedding at the Sirata Beach Resort and everything was perfect! The staff was especially helpful and professional. Everything was beautiful! We would definitely recommend having a wedding at Sirata Beach Resort.

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.
