About

Located in Naples, Florida, LaPlaya Beach & Golf Resort is a luxury hotel and wedding venue. Set against the serene waves and white sand beaches of the Gulf of Mexico, this resort is replete with breathtaking views and upscale accommodations. The surrounding area has many attractions and activities such as water sports, Fifth Avenue South shopping, fine dining, and tours of the Botanical Gardens. Guests are also welcome to take advantage of the hotel’s amenities, which include a golf course, cruiser bikes, and nightly bonfires with s’mores. On the big day, couples will find numerous, fully-customizable event spaces in mesmerizing oceanside locations and elegant indoor ballrooms.

Facilities and Capacity
For those who have dreamed of marrying their true love on a sandy beach with sparkling waves in the background, they should look no further. LaPlaya Beach & Golf Resort has two secluded beaches where soon-to-be-newlyweds can take the next step forward in their relationship, both of which offer spectacular views. The 2,000-square-foot Gulf Lawn also provides a scenic spot for ceremonies, where the verdant grass, tropical palms, and Gulf views create a romantic ambience. After tying the knot, couples and their guests can then make their way down the Lantern Lane, a covered walkway lined with atmospheric candle-lit lanterns. This hallway leads to the ballrooms, both of which boast glittering chandeliers, large windows, and chic accents. The largest of these, the Vanderbilt Ballroom, holds up to 250 people, while the Bayview Ballroom can accommodate up to 120. Both banquet halls open up to sweeping covered verandahs, perfect for cocktail hours and farewell brunches, which overlook the ocean. The pool area can also be set up for weddings and is a tranquil and lush location to celebrate life’s momentous occasions.

Services Offered
Rentals of LaPlaya Beach & Golf Resort come with a cocktail reception with five butler-passed hors d’oeuvres, a fully-catered dinner, and a wedding cake. Alcohol options include a champagne toast, wine with dinner, and five hours of an open bar. Wedding parties are also welcome to use the spa to feel relaxed and rejuvenated for the festivities. Couples who book with this venue are provided a premium suite for the wedding night and reduced room rates for their out-of-town guests. Honeymoon packages are also available for those who want to kick off their romantic getaway at this award-winning and all-inclusive hotel.

Where to begin! Hire MARCY!

We booked La Playa originally for our May 1, 2020 wedding which ended up being rescheduled 2x due to Covid, and the venue was extremely flexible about this which was comforting. We did have a few new coordinators throughout that time due to changes to the team, but ended up with Marcy in the end, which was a blessing! She made sure all details were straightened out and was always transparent with us. Y’all, Marcy was out scraping seaweed from the wedding beach site just to make it look perfect - can you get more thoughtful than that?? I was also able to make a rain call and stuck with my gut to stay outside, and LaPlaya was flexible with that. The only recommendation I would say to new brides is ask if you can get your left over cake slices ahead of time and ask if you can have wedding cake sit out just a bit longer because our wedding guests were so busy on the dance floor! Overall La Playa is special to us and was always our #1 pick and the venue is beautiful. We will come back for anniversary’s for sure! (p.s La Playa, couples who got married there, rate incentive?? wink wink! Truly was the best day!

The wedding experience of our dreams!

My husband and I had our wedding at LaPlaya in November 2024 and had the most incredible experience! We worked with Betsy and from start to finish we were so impressed by her industry knowledge, professionalism and willingness to go above and beyond to make our day so perfect.

We had our ceremony on the Gulf Lawn, which was the perfect beach-adjacent spot without having to be feet-in-sand. This past hurricane season was not easy on LaPlaya and the larger Naples area -- Hurricanes Helene and Milton brought a fair share of damage to the area and its residents and recovery efforts are still underway. We initially anticipated moving our ceremony indoors due to the storms, but LaPlaya went above and beyond to expedite the resort recovery process, and we received the amazing news several weeks before our date that we would be able to go forward with a lawn ceremony as initially planned. Throughout this process, Betsy and the LaPlaya team kept in clear communication with us and reassured us that choosing LaPlaya was the right choice.

We loved everything about our LaPlaya wedding - the food was amazing, the views of course cannot be beat, and the guest rooms and bridal suites were seriously something out of a magazine. We will be reliving our wedding weekend over and over and have Betsy and the entire LaPlaya team to thank for that. Final advice for anyone looking to plan a beautiful Naples beachfront wedding, make sure to put LaPlaya at the top of your list!

Treated like Royalty!

We had an amazing experience at LaPlaya - our hotel blocks were seamless, our rehearsal dinner was absolutely beautiful and the Sunday brunch was so perfect and delish. We had high winds for our welcome party and without missing a beat Marcy (our coordinator) helped us with an alternative option by the bay which turned out to be AMAZING. LaPlaya staff is top notch and you will be treated like royalty. Thank you for a magical weekend we'll never forget!

Dream Venue

LaPlaya is an amazing place to vacation and an absolutely beautiful resort. We visit here every year and my now husband proposed at LaPlaya so it only made sense to have our intimate wedding there. Jane was our coordinator and made it so stress free and an amazing weekend. She worked with all our vendors to make sure that everything timed out right and it was the perfect day. She went above and beyond with back up plans since florida's weather can be unpredictable, she thought of everything. I can't thank her enough for giving us the most special weekend ever!
Can't wait to be back

Perfect Venue!!

LaPlaya Golf and Beach Resort was the perfect venue for our wedding on 6/1/19. We worked closely with Betsy throughout the planning process and she was incredibly kind and helpful! We had our rehearsal dinner on the terrace, our ceremony and cocktail hour were on the gulf lawn, our reception was in the bayview ballroom, and our brunch was by the north pool. Every event went so smoothly and we couldn't have asked for a better location to host our wedding weekend! The food was amazing and the staff were all so friendly and wonderful! We had Maggie at all of our events of the weekend and everyone absolutely loved her!! LaPlaya is so breathtakingly beautiful and I'm so happy that it is now the backdrop in all of my wedding photos! All of our guests loved LaPlaya - they were even talking about coming back next year for a reunion! I would highly recommend LaPlaya Beach and Golf Resort to everyone!!

Absolutely amazing venue!

LaPlaya was the perfect place to have our wedding. We got married on 3/16/19 and everything went so smoothly. Betsy was extremely helpful throughout the entire planning process. We had a beautiful ceremony and cocktail hour on Gulf Lawn, our reception in the ballroom and the food and service was outstanding! Our out of town guests had an amazing stay at LaPlaya, which made it extra special it is something they are still talking about! We love LaPlaya and we are so happy with our decision, I highly recommend it to anyone for the most gorgeous wedding venue!

Picture Perfect Venue with an Amazing Staff

We just had our wedding at LaPlaya and it could have not have went more perfectly. The staff had a huge part to do with that. The staff provided great service for all of our guests and the wedding party throughout our long weekend. Betsy, our catering events manager, was outstanding, extremely detailed, and helped to make for a seamless wedding. Our guests couldn't stop telling us how beautiful everything was!

Karen Marchand and the team at LaPlaya did an exceptional job with my daughter in law and son's wedding on May 26, 2018! Karen and her team are thorough and professional, offering great advice along the way! Karen possesses a calm, reassuring demeanor, which makes her an absolute dream to work with! We had so much fun with the planning and the actual event!! We did not have the picture perfect Naples weather we were hoping for, but had chosen LaPlaya in part for their beautiful space in the event of bad weather! Our day was perfect because of the choice! The food was truly outstanding, definitely on a level beyond usual a banquet food, and the service impeccable!! We also were able to capture beautiful photos in various gorgeous spots throughout the property in spite of the weather!! We highly recommend LaPlaya!!!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
