Jordana H. Sent on 02/27/2023The Venue Of My Dreams with the Best Staff
Our wedding at Sanibel Harbour Marriott was amazing. After the hurricane, we moved our wedding there - and I honestly think it was fate! Anne Marie was an amazing asset to our team, the rooms were perfect, and each venue space we used was perfection. We loved having our ceremony out on the Palms Pool Deck, with the sun setting behind us. The food was exceptional. The service was beyond compare! We had our own personal server assigned to us at every event who ensured we had whatever we needed. The venue worked with us on everything, and our guests loved their stay as well. They went to great lengths to ensure us the best weekend ever. I can't wait to go back someday so celebrate an anniversary!Sanibel Harbour Marriott Resort and Spa's reply:
Dear Jordana,
It was such a pleasure hosting you and your families on such a special occasion! I wish you and Thomas a life time of happiness, you deserve it!
Cheers to you both! -

Doug Baker was amazing to work with. All of guests loved the venue and all want to go back again soon! The view is incredible, the food was amazing, the staff was great, rooms were clean, bartenders were awesome. This venue was magical. I can’t imagine having my wedding anywhere else. Spa was awesome , Chabeli and Corzi were great!
Minor Constructive criticism: room block was difficult. We sold over 120 rooms and it was hard to contact the room block people and there were several issues with that so be on top of that. rooms were a bit hot, a/c could have been turned up as many guests were hot in both ceremony room and reception room. Our cake was thrown out without some guests getting to eat (many were outside on balcony and didn’t get the chance to notice and were quickly taken away), our lights were not turned off for dancing and it took me longer than it should have to find her. All minor things but overall an incredible experience. If you are booking here, you have to work with Doug Baker! He’s the best. -

Adam A. Sent on 05/10/2022Amazing Wedding Experience!
We selected the Sanibel Harbour Marriott Resort & Spa for our April 30th Wedding. We had our ceremony and reception at the resort and all I can say is WOW, it was AMAZING! We were lucky enough to work with the wonderful Anne Marie. From when we initially looked at the venue over a year ago, up until the wedding weekend, she was simply the BEST! We live in Ohio, so doing a destination wedding can sometimes be a little stressful, however, I didn't feel stressed at all working with Anne Marie! We stayed in contact throughout the last year, and as we approached the big day, we were emailing almost daily. She was super quick to respond to any questions I had, and always had a solution. When the wedding day came, she took charge of everything. I got to enjoy the salon with my bridesmaids without worrying about a thing. She managed all of our vendors (DJ, Florist, Bakery, Reverend) along with the entire Marriott staff and we didn't have to do a thing other than enjoy our day. I cannot say enough great things about her, and honestly wish we could do the weekend all over again! I would highly recommend and encourage anyone looking to get married around the Sanibel or Ft Myers area to look at the Sanibel Harbour Marriott Resort and use Anne Marie as your coordinator. We loved everything about the venue and her team! She made our day PERFECT! Also, my husband Adam had to throw in that all of the valet guys were incredible with cars and getting luggage to the rooms. He said never overlook the valet guys. Thanks again for everything Marriott Sanibel ! -

Brittany Sent on 01/02/2019Absolutely Perfect!!! The best experience we have ever had!!
I don’t think i could ever explain how PERFECT Sanibel Harbour was to and for us for our wedding last month!!! They exceeded EVERY expectation we had in every area. They are professional, yet kind, and willing to do WHATEVER necessary to ensure your wedding day & weekend is perfect for you. I felt like they were all family! They handled our huge, crazy destination wedding party (total of 80 people) with grace and patience!
Leia... Leia is a life saver. She was our event coordinator. She is amazing at what she does. She made my day as smooth and perfect as i could have ever imagined. She will do anything for you... even if it isn’t wedding related because that’s her personality!
I could honestly go on for days about how amazing Sanibel Harbour Marriott was to ya and our guests. DO NOT LOOK ANY FURTHER!!! THIS is your place. THIS is your venue. I promise you won’t regret it 😊 -

Meghann Sent on 11/01/2020Absolutely perfect!!
The Sanibel Harbour Marriott was absolutely gorgeous and the perfect place to hold our destination wedding! We were married 10-10-20 and had just under 40 guests in attendance. Because of the COVID-19 pandemic, we worked directly with Leia, the Director of Catering, and Anne Marie, the General Manager. Both Leia and Anne Marie went above and beyond to address our every need and request. My in-laws unexpectedly were unable to attend the wedding because of COVID-19, and Anne Marie made sure to be available and FaceTimed my husband's parents before and during the ceremony, so that they were able to witness it live. My husband is also very into bourbon, Leia and Anne Marie made sure his favorite bourbon was served at our reception and even set up an infuser, that infused citrus flavors with his favorite bourbon. Throughout the planning process, Leia was very responsive to emails and made me feel like no question was too outlandish or crazy. With the COVID-19 pandemic, the hotel had strict cleaning procedures in place and required guests to wear masks while in public spaces. Our guests or ourselves never once felt unsafe during our stay at the hotel. We weren't able to fly down to taste and select our food beforehand, but the reception meal turned out to be absolutely delicious! We heard from several guests since, who have also raved about the meal. A champagne toast and cake provided by local bakery, LadyCakes, were also included in our reception package.
We worked with Marisa on our room reservation/room block. Some of our guests called the hotel directly due to issues with booking online, they were very complimentary of the reservations staff in booking their rooms. Some of our guests also booked after the room block deadline, but Marisa worked to make sure those rooms were counted towards our contracted number of rooms. Marisa and her staff also worked to hand out gift bags to our guests that we brought with us.
The hotel sits on 80+ acres; it gives the feel that you're on a resort in Mexico or the Dominican Republic, without leaving the United States. The beach we were married on sits on the far side of the property, allowing for privacy away from other hotel guests. We still ended up having some guests stop by to watch our nuptials, however, they were far enough away that it didn't feel like we had uninvited guests. Many restaurants and shops are about 10-20 minutes away, but that was what we were looking for in a venue, we didn't want a crowded location filled with traffic noise.
The Sanibel Harbour Marriott is the perfect venue if you're looking for a quiet beach wedding venue with gorgeous sunsets! The entire hotel staff go above and beyond to meet your needs. We definitely look forward to coming back to celebrate our anniversary!Sanibel Harbour Marriott Resort and Spa's reply:
Thank you Meghann and Aaron,
We loved having you and sharing your special day. Congratulations again!

Memorial Day Weekend Wedding
We had our wedding reception at Marriott Sanibel on Memorial Weekend. This was just the perfect location for a quick destination wedding.
It was all about accommodation for us. We used the bridal room at the spa.
I have to give it to the team over there, they were on time and made all my bridesmaids feel comfortable. We had such a great time getting ready. My stylist, Bree'Ann did such a great job getting me ready. She truly made me feel like a princess. All the spa ladies, really, were on point with hair and makeup.
The bridal package also came with sandwiches, mimosas and coffee. It was great!
Leia, the catering coordinator, did an outstanding job during our whole planning process. She really made it easy for us!
Leia was with us the day of, along with her assistant, Kelly. They actually gave my husband some company right before our first look at the beach location at the resort, which Leia reserved specifically for us for our photos. (My husband was very anxious and it was great having them there)
After our reception, we walked up to our hotel room and Leia had provided us with food and drinks and even a bottle of champagne. THIS WAS THE BEST since the bride and groom were hungry following the reception.
The rest of the party continued celebrating downstairs at Charley's Cabana Bar. The workers there greeted us with open arms even though it was already after 11 pm!
I also want to give the valet team a shoutout for all of their help. This was a busy weekend and they really stayed on top of the bridal party and transportation during our wedding day.
Thank you, Marriott Sanibel Harbour for a wonderful experience and an unforgettable wedding!Sanibel Harbour Marriott Resort and Spa's reply:
Ezzy, it was a pleasure to be part of your wedding! Thank you for choosing the Sanibel Harbour Marriott Resort and Spa.
Thank you for your feedback. We greatly appreciate it and look forward to working with you again sometime!

I did a destination wedding on October 19 at Sanibel Harbour Marriott and I cannot say enough good things about the experience. I live in Michigan so I expected planning a destination wedding would be difficult but from day one the entire staff was incredible. Leia worked with me to plan what we needed and do room blocks for guests. Anything we needed we just made a call or sent an email and they got it done right away. When we arrived for the wedding every single staff member we encountered was so kind and accommodating. The morning of my wedding there was a tropical storm so they worked with me on exactly what I wanted for a backup plan if needed. Luckily the storm passed and I got to have my beach wedding, it was just very windy and they made sure everything was in place. The food, drinks and staff at the reception and the work and coordination by Leia and her staff were phenomenal. I got so many compliments on the food, some of the best food I have ever had. The wedding day could not have run more smoothly or been more perfect. Sanibel Harbour Marriott went above and beyond and exceeded my expectaions on all levels. -

Great experience working with Sanibel Harbor Resort and their wedding coordinator
We had a great experience working with the resort to put rooms on hold and also working with their wedding coordinator. He was extremely helpful, friendly and accommodating to any changes we needed to make. The room was absolutely beautiful and we had a gorgeous sunset that came in through the window that was right behind our sweetheart table. All the guests commented after the wedding about how beautiful everything was. I was actually surprised how smoothly everything went all evening. It was even a great experience working with outside vendors, such as, the florist, photographer and DJ. -

Anne Sent on 04/10/2019A Perfect Beach Wedding
My wedding was more fabulous than I could have ever imagined and it was all because of Leia and this fabulous venue. The beach was perfect. The staff was amazing. We have a guest who attended that works at a high end golf course and he was blown away by the staff and the food quality. Everyone kept raving about the food. We had such a great time. What was even better is our guests who traveled really enjoyed the hotel as a vacation of their own and from the restaurants to the pool the staff and cleanliness was great.

Barb Sent on 01/12/2019Beautiful Venue for Intimate Family Wedding
The Sanibel Harbour Marriott Resort was the perfect venue for our small family and friends wedding. We all were able stay at the resort, have the wedding on Cove Beach on the waters edge, followed with a magnificent dinner reception (with a custom Boston Cream Cake) at the private dining room at the Courtside Steakhouse coordinated by Ken Newbold- also part of the hotel. The sales/catering team led by Leia Sobieralski was superb as they attended to everything we asked for. They even brought in more sand as a recent storm had washed some away - so it looked perfect and we had great weather too for a holiday gathering. I cannot say enough about the staff, the Spa, the nail, hair and makeup stylists too, as everyone participated in making this the best wedding and now a wonderful memory. -

Wow! Totally amazing.
I can’t get over how perfect our day was. This would not have been possible without the help of Leia Sobieralski and the Marriott team. From the moment we walked into the resort we fell in love. The large open windows and the island banquet room were exactly what we were looking for. We loved the privacy of the cove beach and it was stunningly beautiful and intimate. We had our rehearsal dinner on the Princess Cruise as well and it was the perfect setting for us and our guests. The yacht made it feel extra special for us and our guests too. Everyone loved the food on the cruise and during our reception. Also, we are a same-sex couple and we felt nothing but welcomed during the entire process here. Our guests have shared nothing but good memories and everyone had a blast! We ended up dancing for an extra hour because none of us wanted the day to end. If I could live a day over and over again it would be our Wedding day because of how amazing everything was here. -

Carrie Sent on 06/22/2018These guys are AWESOME!!! They were SO accommodating! Kaitlyn was our event coordinator and I truly cannot say enough about her!! Her response time was never longer than 2 days, honestly there were Sunday evenings that I received emails from her! We were treated like royalty from the moment we stepped onto the resort. No request went unanswered. They upgraded us to the Presidential suite which is massive. We entertained about 25 people in there the night before our wedding. Marisa, the reservation manager was really great with giving us weekly updates on who had booked their rooms. We held our rehearsal dinner at the Tarpon House onsite and the service and the food were outstanding! There is also an onsite Spa and Salon and they were AMAZING!!! My friends and family were WOW'ed by the AWESOME make-up that Lindsey gave me and the AMAZING hair that Brianne styled for me.
The only thing I would suggest is to choose a dish other than the pork loin because it was very dry. The hors d oeuvres were really great though! It says a lot for Kaitlyn, Lindsey, and Brianne that even with a fairly disappointing main dish that I am still giving this venue 5/5 stars. You cannot go wrong with them. We can't wait to renew our vows and do it all over again! :-)
Thank you Kaitlyn for giving us the fairytale wedding that we had imagined in our dreams! -
