We had our reception at the Seagate Beach Club on December 3, 2011, and it was amazing! It's such a beautiful space to begin with, and their staff is just wonderful. You truly feel... as though you are at a private club, rather than just a restaurant -- they were so nice and accomodatng to us and our guests. They handled a number of our requests (adding champagne to the bar, changing the side on an entree, doing a late night snack) with no problem whatsoever. We were supposed to have cocktails around the pool, and then move up to the first floor for dinner. Unfortunately, the wind did not cooperate so we moved the cocktails inside, and everything worked out just fine. All of our dinner tables were set up outside on the patio, which we ended up having to tent due to the wind. That tent was a serious lifesaver, so keep it in mind if weather may be an issue for you (the Seagate arranges and sets up the tent so the cost just gets wrapped into your bill). We had great reviews on the food (mahi mahi and chicken), which I considered a huge feat given that we literally went over our scheduled dinner time by almost an hour due to long speeches. I still don't know how they pulled that off! It was a seriously great venue, and a great night.
Also, we stayed at the Seagate Hotel for several days prior to the wedding, as did many of our guests. Everyone had rave reviews. The rooms are just gorgeous, and as with the Beach Club, the service was truly outstanding. They helped us with so many things -- moving bags from room to room, pressing dresses, cleaning at certain times, etc, etc -- and couldn't have been nicer about all of it. We also used the hotel's trolley and SUV for guest transportation and it worked out great. We stayed in the bridal suite on the night of the wedding, and that was really amazing. Huge space, beautiful canopy bed, crazy carwash-type shower with water coming from every conceivable direction, huge jacuzzi. We are definitely going back for our first anniversary!
