Thank You Courtyard Marriott (now Faro Blanco) for hosting our big day! Kristy did an amazing job making sure our day came out perfect and Paul, wow! Paul was Mr. Do It All! We love you Paul! We can't say enough about how amazing our day was! Thank You, Thank You, Thank You!

I still can't believe how perfect my wedding day was. Not only is the venue absolutely stunning, but Kristy & the staff are out of this world. My guests are still raving about how fun & perfect my wedding was. I can't say enough good things about Kristy and my experience. Her communication was 10/10. Anything I could possibly stress about, she had an answer and solution. She is VERY organized and has everything down to a science. She goes above and beyond for her brides & makes them feel so special. I kept telling myself "expect at least one thing to go wrong on wedding day" & let me tell you, everything went completely smooth. No hiccups or anything. What else can I bride hope for, right?! I can't say enough good things about this venue. If you don't get married here, you're missing out!

If you are contemplating having your wedding at the Courtyard Marathon, let me tell you stop debating and act now. The whole planning process was so easy! Most of the vendors are included in the package so you only need to choose your details and upgrades.
We had the absolute best time; the staff is phenomenal, the food was great, and the DJ kept the vibe fun. Our guests are still talking about what a wonderful experience it was. I have no idea how anyone gets married without a wedding coordinator. Kristy and her team will make your day a breeze and keep everything running like clockwork. She saved me when I was a disorganized, scatter-brained mess. Run, don’t walk, to book your wedding at the Courtyard Marathon. You won’t regret it.
Hot tip: Sign up for their emails, they routinely send out special offers and deals.

All our guests had the best time!! The beach was the perfect place to get married!! Food was amazing too!! Kristy our wedding planner was amazing. She was completely on it and made the day go so smoothly! She made the day completely stress free!! The DJ was amazing also. The whole night was perfect! The only thing I would change is I would have made the reception longer!! Our guests were all so impressed with everything!! Thank you to everyone there!! We will be going back just to vacation!!!

I cannot stop thinking about how perfect our wedding day was! My guests are still raving about everything from the scenery to the food to the service and so on. I was unable to visit beforehand, and totally left everything up to Kristy and Linda. I couldn’t be happier with the experience I’ve had from start to finish when it came to planning this wedding. Kristy was unbelievable…I am very impressed with her and so were my guests! Thank you SO much for all of the time and effort that was put into my wedding. I would give them more stars if I could!

We were married at the Courtyard Marathon on 11/21/21 and could not have asked for a more amazing day. From the views, the service, the food and the music. Everything was perfect. Our guests had an amazing time and we can’t wait to go back again. Thank you to Kristy and the team for making our day so magical.

The whole experience planning this wedding was a breeze. Kristy has everything down to a science. This wedding went better then expected and I cannot believe how helpful and nice everyone was! We had about 45 guests and they have not stopped talking about the weekend we had there, and they especially can’t stop talking about how wonderful chad the bartender was! I’m so glad we choose this venue and would do it 100 times over again

We had the most beautiful wedding at the Courtyard in Marathon. We loved the fact that we had our own private beach for the entire ceremony until the end of the wedding reception. Kristy is amazing. And helped us plan our wedding from beginning to end. Being out of state was a bit of a challenge but Kristy made it easy for us and she made our day exactly how we imagined it. The staff at the Courtyard Marathon is amazing. All our guests felt welcomed. The rooms are so clean and a pretty good size. Our bartender, Chad, was great with making all our guests feel welcome. Our guests are still talking about what an amazing, fun time they had. We highly recommend this venue for a beach wedding. The sunsets are amazing. It was our dream wedding day.

I am a type A bride who tried to plan a Serbian and American wedding from Illinois. I wanted a fairly easy wedding planning experience as I am a teacher (in COVID year), in grad school, and a coach. Time is not something I have a lot of! I didn't have to do much in terms of finding vendors, and most of the decisions happen in the last 3 months. The biggest help came the days leading up to the ceremony. I'm not sure how I would have handled things without Kristy there to manage it all. Kristy was very flexible with me and rolled with the flow, which is not something I'm great at doing. I could not dream of having my wedding anywhere else. It ended up being a 3 day wedding, with our guests coming down on Friday, rehearsal dinner on Saturday, and wedding on Sunday. We had a welcome dinner after the rehearsal and the food was delicious. We had tacos for the welcome dinner and an open bar for the dinner.

The day of the wedding was more fun than I could have imagined. It was 103 out, which was probably what we worried most about when we decided to have an August wedding in the Keys. Just make sure the guys wear white and it won't be noticeable... lol!

Dan did a great job coordinating Serbian and American music alike, Kristy made everything flow, and Chad made great drinks. I honestly couldn't imagine it being more fun than it was. The three days made it a wedding experience. instead of a wedding day. :) The 10pm end time worried me a little but the resort and bartender Nick gave us an easy transition to an afterparty at the resort pool bar. We stayed there for a couple of hours afterward and had more fun with Nick's bluetooth speaker! Everyone wants you to have the best experience possible.

We used BellaLuxe for hair/makeup, Sweet Savannah's for gluten free cake (the resort also accommodated this for the food) and Publix for other deserts, and Stephany Barboza for photography. Everything else was included in the package. Feel free to message me with questions! I love this resort and I love my wedding experience. My "small" 53 people destination wedding was more perfect than I could have imagined. It was so beautiful, so fun, and so memorable.

P.S. I found them and booked them through here. :)

Kristy and her team were awesome to work with! They were prompt, organized, and knowledgeable. Our wedding day was stress free and a day we will truly never forget. We couldn't have asked for a better experience.
