The Best Venue in South Florida!

Working with the Harbor Beach Marriott was a wonderful experience, from start to finish. My husband and I live in New York, and planned our Florida wedding from out of state. When we first started our wedding planning process, we were put in contact and met with Deborah Colip, a senior catering sales executive at the hotel. Deborah was so kind, patient, and answered all of our questions. Once we booked, we began working with Taylor Cantrell, a senior event manager at the Marriott. There are not enough words to describe how phenomenal Taylor was to work with. Taylor was so incredibly helpful and our entire wedding weekend would not have been as successful and as wonderful as it was without her involvement. She answered all of our questions in the months leading up to our wedding, even taking time to speak with us on weekends as we got closer to our wedding date. She was positive, upbeat, and kept my husband and I calm and reassured. It was evident that Taylor was a seasoned pro, and knew the ins and outs of planning a wonderful event at the Marriott. We trusted Taylor's judgment along the way, and she always steered us in the right direction. The food was also phenomenal, and we received positive feedback from all of our wedding guests about our wedding entrees, late night food, and cocktail hour food. The property itself is also beautiful and relaxing. There just are not enough positive things to say about the Harbor Beach Marriott and its employees. Our wedding weekend was perfect thanks to everyone at the Marriott who helped us along the way!

This is THE spot to get married in South Florida

The entire team at this hotel went above and beyond to ensure that our wedding day was everything we could have imagined... and more! Every single aspect of the event was well organized, giving both myself and my wife an overwhelming sense of confidence in just letting them do their thing. This relieved all the stress from what otherwise could have otherwise been overwhelmingly stressful situation. We literally just had to show up, get married and have fun. That - to me - is the ultimate compliment you can give a venue. These facts have earned this referral In full confidence. Look nowhere else. Get married here.

Best venue in South Florida

Best venue in South Florida! I had a beach wedding without having to deal with the sand. The pictures don't do it justice, the staff is absolutely incredible, and the Plan B for the ceremony is still a very nice view of the beach.

I am from California and had a lot of people flying in plus many local friends and family. It was important to me that I could show off the beautiful city I now call home while also providing a little escape for my local friends. This was the perfect fit. Its a gorgeous resort that is in a prime location yet when you step onto the property you feel like you're on vacation. Fun fact, this is one of Mr. Marriott's favorite Marriotts in the world! He stays regularly.

Wendy was our first contact who gave us a tour and handled the contract. We instantly felt comfortable with her. She was never pushy at all and easily answered all of our questions. It became obvious to me that the venue sells itself as it is just so wonderful!

Taylor was our main contact and she went above and beyond. My Mother is very disabled and stayed at the hotel for a week. Taylor was available for whatever she needed. She even hand picked her room so she would have plenty of space to get around.

The wedding day was my dream and then some. The food was sensational, the banquet room is massive, and the process was easy from start to finish. They really worked with us on things and made sure we were well taken care of. And having the bridal suite right there makes everything run so smoothly. I could even go up and freshen up after photos before the ceremony.

I can't recommend the venue enough and I can't wait to have an excuse to go back. My husband and I definitely will be having our anniversary dinners there at the very least.

Perfect from beginning to end

The Marriott was very easy to work with from beginning to end. Ida was my personal event coordinator through the Marriott and she was incredible! All our guests loved the venue, most stayed at the hotel and enjoyed the beach/pool/amenities. The Ocean Terrace was the perfect setting for us - we wanted an elegant/luxury south florida beach wedding with ocean views without being in the sand.

Our wedding planner did not do her job on our wedding day, so the team at the Marriott stepped in. Not only did they ensure we had all our requests taken care of, they took care of what our wedding planner should have done with the rest of our vendors.

Our guests raved about the food, and the cocktail hour. The staff treated us as if our wedding was their priority.

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you!

Marriott Harbor Beach was the absolute best location to have our wedding. It was basically destination since we had many people traveling from all over and everyone was so happy with the hotel. Felt like a vacation for everyone.

We started the process with Deborah who was so nice and lovely to work with. Then once the contracts were signed she passed us off to our coordinator-Katie Pakradooni. There is enough words for me to tell you how amazing she is. She helped with everything, was SO responsive throughout the entire year, checked in all the time, etc, etc,etc, etc :)

The week of was a breeze with her. She accepted packages for us at the hotel, helped reserve rooms when needed to stuff welcome bags, and called after every event we had to make sure it went okay and we were happy. Oh and did I mention she had a broken foot?! The woman is amazing and truly a gem to work with. AND, when we checked in, she sent us wine and a cheese/fruit plate-she's the BEST!

Plus, the people who worked at the hotel were SO helpful. We would call because we needed a dolly, someone was there within two minutes. We would call because we needed help moving a few things, someone there in two minutes. Needed someone to come lock something up, there! Everyone at the hotel was incredible.

Last minute we decided to have a brunch, and they gave us a beautiful suite plus the food was awesome! some times its just continental and not so great, but everyone said how good it was!

Katie and team and the Marriott were an absolute dream come true and would recommend this venue to ANYONE wanting a little getaway wedding weekend. You don't need to leave the country to have a "tropical" destination wedding. Ours felt like that and everyone kept telling us so! The pool area is AMAZING.

I can't say enough amazing things about our wedding weekend. It was TRULY a dream come true and it was because of the Marriott and Katie and her team. :)
