SpringHill Suites Marriott, Panama City Beachfront
Your perfect wedding location on the Beach!
Holds ceremonies and receptions
Me and my husband got married at the Marriott beachfront location in Panama City and it was absolutely beautiful even with the weather being not the best that day. It ended up being just decent enough for a ceremony on the beach amazing service, amazing bartender wedding planner that was included and just made our day extremely special to have such a supportive team help us for a big day.
After viewing every potential venue between Pensacola and Panama City, we choose SpringHill Suites PCB. It was the ideal location and situation for our wedding and reception, as well as to accommodate all our guests. Most guests came earlier in the week to enjoy the beach and pool, and although we held it in June it was not over-crowded.
Judi and Sydney were amazing, they got us everything we needed in the bridal suite and the groomsman suite, and then took care of us during the reception and for our private guest breakfast the next morning.
The Starfish room is ideal for a reception, outdoor balcony was great for pictures. There was plenty of space for our 5 guest tables plus a dance floor and the dinner buffet.
The food for both dinner and breakfast was fantastic! The dinner included the grouper, chicken, and prime rib. The chef was able to provide food to accommodate all our guests dietary restrictions, and it was delicious and plentiful.
There was a slight hitch with parking, the hotel implemented a paid parking service after we signed our contract, and all our guests had to pay a $25 per day plus tax fee to park. There are no other parking options so it is a bit of a money-grab.
We had some issues with the room charges, but the finance director got those handled promptly.
Overall, we highly recommend the venue as the perfect place for your beach wedding and reception!

Meet the team
- Jamal BellExecutive ChefChef Bell found his calling at an incredibly young age. “I loved to eat,” Bell explains. “My mom was a nurse, and she was busy, so she taught me how to safely use the stove when I was 5 years old. Then I loved to eat AND I loved to cook.” Bell got a high school job cooking at Cami’s Seafood & Pasta in Miami, Florida, and soon set his sights on a culinary degree from Johnson & Wales — a dream achieved post-military using his VA benefits. He went on to operate a catering business and lead the kitchen at a high-end restaurant before transitioning into hotel F&B. As long as he’s in a kitchen somewhere, he’s happy. “Food feeds my imagination,” Bell says. “It’s my art!” Since joining SpringHill Suites Panama City Beach, he’s elevated creativity at Solstice Oceanfront Bar + Grill, the upscale onsite restaurant. On the catering side, he especially enjoys the many weddings the hotel hosts “because of all that love in the air.” Collaboration is a vital ingredient in any successful kitchen, Bell says, “and I love seeing my team express themselves in food. We work hard to please our guests — and that just adds to the awesome views.” If Bell is a favorite at SpringHill Suites, it’s not only for his cooking. It’s been 20 years since his final tour in Afghanistan — but once a soldier, always a hero. So when he recently saw a young boy drowning, his military training kicked right back in. While other bystanders stood at water’s edge, frozen in shock, “I kicked off my shoes, jumped in the water, and, fortunately, got him out in time,” Bell recalls. And though he’s been lauded aplenty for his actions, “I don’t feel like a hero,” he says. “With my background in combat — and four kids of my own — I really just acted on instinct.” Away from work, Bell focuses a lot on family time with his children, ages 12, 9, 4, and 1. He also enjoys fishing, marksmanship, and working in his fruit & vegetable garden. Full story: https://www.otodevelopment.com/company/news/serving-as-a-veteran-chef
