'Tween Waters Island Resort & Spa

While we, unfortunately, were unable to host our wedding at 'Tween Waters due to Hurricane Milton, I still had to express my gratitude and sing their praises. From the time my (now husband) and I first stopped at their pool bar, we knew it was the place for us. Working with Debra was an absolute dream, she was thorough and responsive and incredibly kind. It was clear she was professional and was always willing to try to make some of my crazy ideas work. I always felt like she was in my corner and she did her fair share of just listening to me vent. We are heartbroken our special day could not take place at The Old Captiva House but hope all future brides will consider them! We are already thinking of a reason to host an event there in the future!

Let me start off with saying I have been visiting ‘Tween Waters since I was very young and knew right when we got engaged this was where I wanted our wedding. We had a small ceremony with close friends and family on the beach and our reception at the Old Captiva House w/ Garden Terrace. We worked with John and he was very helpful and was available the day of for coordination and set up. Communication was easy, especially with being out of town. Though it is not a giant fancy resort, it was a perfect for an intimate beach ceremony and cozy reception. Also- the food was delicious and guests said it was the best wedding food they have had. Staff went above and beyond to make sure we had the best experience!

Our dream wedding! Tweenies was the most perfect place to have our reception. We had around 100 guests in the Captiva house and it couldn't have been more beautiful !!

This was our first stay at Tween-Waters but we had passed it on our visits to Sanibel and Captiva Islands throughout our many visits. Tween-Waters was the only Resort we toured and we knew this was the right place. As a same gender couple, we were not sure if we might experience any negativity throughout our planning and Tween-Waters responded quickly welcoming us to allow them to host us. We met with our first wedding/event planner Vicki last summer and she gave us a thorough tour of the resort, Rooms in every category, reception rooms and restaurants, pools, marina and private resort beach. She went over pricing, menus and all of the things we may consider when planning our wedding. Since this would be a destination wedding for everyone attending including us, we wanted to make sure that the resort would be able to cover most of our needs and the needs of our guests. Most of our guests booked and stayed at this resort and thoroughly enjoyed their experiences. A couple of months prior to our tasting, our wedding/event planner changed to Christine and she was just as wonderful as Vicki had been. Christine set up our tasting with Chef Greg. We selected a Taco Buffet lunch that was just perfect including vegetarian rice, beans and grilled vegetables, taco seasoned ground beef and fajita chicken, all of the taco toppings and fresh made guacamole. Christine put together our Banquet Event Order(BEO) with the timeline of our wedding day, was flexible and quick at updating. Christine made us feel comfortable and confidant that our wedding day would be amazing. Our wedding took place on the beach across from the resort and Christine guided our Guests across the street and drove a couple of our Guests with mobility issues across in a golf cart. She then guided our wedding party across the street and guided the wedding party when to begin their walk down the aisle. The Banquet staff had everything ready as our Guests entered the Wakefield Room which is upstairs with windows facing the beach. They were very attentive and friendly and made sure that everything happened on time. The Front desk staff and Pool Bar/Restaurant staff were very nice and friendly also. We reserved a studio cottage to stay in. This was located right next to the front desk, near the pool and a short walk to the restaurants, our reception room (Wakefield Room). The room was quite roomy with a Queen size bed, two rattan chairs, a dining table with two chairs, kitchenette with decent sized refrigerator, microwave, stovetop and sink. The bathroom was large with a walk in shower. This was plenty roomy for us, our cat and all of our wedding reception supplies. It also has a fireplace and a screened in porch on the backside facing a garden area. We highly recommend Tween-Waters Resort just for a resort stay or to host your wedding. We will be back for a stay next year if not sooner.
