After my original wedding venue cancelled my destination event because of Hurricane Irma two weeks before my wedding, Tosha at the Westin Cape Coral was one of the first to reach o...ut within an hour or two after I cast a VERY wide net trying to find a new location for the same dates. Tosha was wonderful to work with and made a very difficult and stressful time incredibly easy. The menu choices were fantastic and very plentiful. I had several vegan/gluten free guests and she was able to craft delicious menu options to keep everyone happy! The photos of the locations had us excited.
When we came down for our wedding weekend, Tosha met us at the door, got us checked in, and even took my dress up to our Mariners Suite so I didn't have to carry it. The suite was huge and had the best natural light and most amazing view - two master suites (one with a tub), another half bath, full kitchen, living room, separate dining room, giant screened in patio (every hotel should have their patios screened in!). Walking through the ceremony and reception space, we felt so at ease and felt that everything had fallen into place.
We planned a welcome dinner the night before the wedding; food choices were great, drinks were flowing, and the private room in Marker 92 was the perfect size for our group. The NY Strip and S'mores Croissant Donut are to die for. The servers and staff were all incredibly attentive.
The ceremony and cocktail hour were held on the event lawn with the harbor in the background. We had a specialty drink with our open bar that everyone loved! The harbor in the background made for great photos.
The reception was held in one of the ballrooms with our own bathrooms and was a great size for our group of 50 with 5 tables, a sweetheart table, bar, DJ, and open photobooth. We did a buffet style dinner and the food was just delicious! Lots of choices to keep everyone happy. We had lots of candles, but with the lights dimmed, we didn't even need uplighting. The servers were, again, incredibly attentive. We were thrilled at how everything turned out.
Outside of the wedding - The front desk attendants remembered our names and were quick to help or answer any questions; room service was fast and hot, the food delicious (recommend the spinach egg white omelette for breakfast); The Nauti Mermaid food and drink were delicious and it's a great location to hang out and watch the sunset while having many cocktails. Marker 92 is a great spot for lunch or dinner. We rented a pool cabana the day after our wedding and spent the entire day at the pool. Some friends brought paddleboards and they were able to keep them at the marina.
I have been telling everyone I can: stay at this hotel, it's amazing. You will have an incredibly relaxing time with fantastic rooms and service. It was completely meant to be that we had our wedding here. All of our guests have said they loved their stay and some have even talked about coming here for weekend stays in the future.
If you are having an event, I can't recommend Tosha enough - she will make it perfect for you.
