Sandpearl is EXACTLY what I was looking for for my dream wedding!
We recently had our wedding at the Sandpearl Resort and the experience was amazing from start to finish. All the way from the planning a year and a half out to the big day everyone involved accommodated every request. Mark Boyer and Kaci Sheehan were present every step of the way and very responsive to all our phone calls and emails. They went above and beyond to assist us with our every request and visit, ranging from randomly showing up to measure chairs, see rooms, change dance floor dimensions, and plan ballroom layout. They ensured the day went smoothly and without a hitch, worked with our coordinator and vendors, and worked with us through the unique situation that was the pandemic. I would also like to mention all the staff, from the valets to the greeters and behind the scenes staff that made our experience phenominal. Every one of them made us feel special and like we were their top priority. It’s impossible to mention everyone by name but they absolutely deserve recognition. The food was amazing, and the chefs and banquet staff were able to accommodate every dietary consideration. They did a wonderful job during the ceremony (it was on the beach) keeping crowds quiet and diverting beachgoers around the event. Everything was set up on time and exactly the way they said it would be. The only minor hiccup we had was a confusion on our bride and groom suite being given to a family member. However, they resolved the issue quickly and professionally. It did not detract from our experience at all. The Sandpearl resort is such a beautiful resort and they made our wedding an amazing, wonderful, and unforgettable experience.

Beautiful venue. Excellent staff.
Sandpearl was an excellent choice for our wedding. The beauty of the hotel is magnificent. We considered a few other locations for our wedding but nothing else seemed to compare to the Sandpearl. Our wedding went flawlessly due to the coordination of the Sandpearl's wedding coordinator Erin Burke. Erin worked with our wedding planner to coordinate all the details. Everything from ease of parking for our guests to the setup of the food was provided as promised. The location on the beach also made it possible for us to have the most beautiful pictures and video to remember our wedding day.
If you're looking for a beach wedding that is exquisite and elegant with amazing food and superb views of the beach, we highly recommend Sandpearl.

Out of this world
WOW! I can not say enough good things about the Sandpearl. We wanted a venue on the beach that could handle out 150 person guest list with ease. The Sandpearl was not only able to accommodate us, they went above and beyond for us. Before we even booked with the Sandpearl, I tour the beach spaces, lawn spaces and reception place with Alexis and she was super sweet and personable from the very beginning. In my past life I was an event coordinator so I had a lot of questions, but she answered them all with ease. The venue sold itself, but Alexis was definitely a plus! With countless back and forth emails to make our weekend everything we wanted and more, she handled us with the upmost professionalism.
When we finally arrived for our wedding weekend we were greeted with so much joy and help from every employee. From pulling into valet with two loaded cars taking 3 bell carts to get us to our room, to a free breakfast on the last day we couldn't have been more pleased with our choice with the Sandpearl. We had our rehearsal dinner there too which was so great that everyone could enjoy the resort Friday and Saturday.
We had multiple guests staying at the hotel and using all of the amenities. Both restaurants were amazing, the catering and banquet staff were great and we got tons of compliments on the food, "best wedding food ever". I could go on and on about how much we adored this venue and Alexis for making our wedding weekend perfect but I will spare you.
BOOK THE SANDPEARL FOR YOUR WEDDING!! 100 / 10 would recommend.

Beautiful Venue and Great Wedding Catering Team
To all engaged couples out there l looking at Clearwater: YOU MUST consider the Sandpearl as your venue!
The first and most important selling point for us was the food and beverage. The Sandpearl provides the food and bar services, so we didn't feel pressure to have to shop around for outside food-and-beverage vendors. Also, the quality of the food is completely worth the price. When we did our menu tasting, we were blown away, and our guests also LOVED the Sandpearl's food on our menu. Seriously, your guests will be raving about how good the food is at your wedding. Also, I love how they put little blackberries in the champagne flutes - it was a gorgeous touch.
Alexis Weisner was our contact for our wedding and we are SO appreciative to her. She was so patient with our questions regarding the financial details! Alexis and the Sandpearl team also had delicious amenities waiting for us once we returned to our suite, like Prosecco and chocolate-covered-strawberries. It was an elegant and meaningful gesture. Alexis also went out of her way to meet us on the rehearsal day, and help deliver champagne to the bridal suite on the day-of.
Finally, the location of the Sandpearl is amazing. There's tons of Air BnBs and other affordable hotels all within walking distance if you have guests who don't want to stay on property; however, for those guests who do decide to stay on property, they will have the time of their lives. The pool is fabulous, the beach is so close, and it's great for all ages, which was good for us because we had a lot of kids at the wedding. I recommend renting out a cabana if possible, as they have big TVs, which was great for the sports-fans in our family.
We also want to shout out Jeff and Victor on the catering team who were really awesome during the reception. They made sure the food was coming out on time, and that us as the married couple actually got to eat!
We also recommend booking the Gulf Suite 100. We're SO happy we did this because all the ladies could get ready very near the ceremony space on the Gulf Lawn; it's just a hop-skip-and-a-jump! It was also a great space for the hair and makeup team to get the girls ready. Alexis also suggested we have a light breakfast and lunch delivered to the room and that was SUCH a good idea; I'm so glad we took her advice.
I can't go on enough about the Sandpearl. You will not be disappointed.

Great Experience
We had our wedding at the Sandpearl 5/6/22 and it turned out better than we could have imagined. The wedding ceremony was on the beach and the reception on the gulf lawn- both were beautiful. McKenzie was a pleasure to work with. She was always prompt and accommodating with her responses. The food was amazing, the bartenders were great, and Maria from food and beverages was over the top, phenomenal!
Overall everything was very seamless and I would definitely recommend this venue!

Picture Perfect Wedding
We just got married on January 15, 2022 and let me just say this is truly the best venue in the Tampa/Clearwater area. From the initial conversation with McKenzie and Diana they were so helpful and responsive and anything you needed they were able to help get an answer for it.
The wedding day itself was truly amazing the wait staff in the reception was hands down the best service we have seen anywhere. Special shout out to Maria and Hugo you guys did an outstanding job.
If you want a picture perfect wedding I would recommend having it at the Sandpearl. Thank you guys again for making our dreams come true!

Perfect all inclusive dream wedding venue
My husband and I live in Tampa Bay and decided we wanted to get married on the beach however we did not want the ceremony to be on the sand & we still wanted to have an elegant, traditional wedding. Sandpearl made that happen! We got married on the gulf lawn looking out to the beach/ocean and then had a reception in the Hunter ballroom. The food was absolutely amazing our whole experience with the staff was incredible - they really went above and beyond especially during a pandemic they met all our needs and made sure to address all our concerns and still make it the perfect wedding day!!
We also stayed at the resort for a few days after for our minimoon since we could not travel internationally and it was so amazing going to the spa and eating at Caretta’s. A few shout outs to Jim Jenkins who was our main contact and who sent us a bottle of champagne and chocolate covered strawberries on our wedding night as well as Chef “Bubbles”or Champagne who made the food absolutely perfect! ( so many compliments esp about the short rib!) a few servers that we loved Maria and Taz!! it’s a great venue and vacation experience even living close by, we will definitely be back!!

Absolutely incredible
I can’t say enough about how amazing our wedding was at The Sandpearl Resort. From beginning to end, our wedding consultant Jennifer Guidry was absolutely perfect. The weekend of the wedding went so smooth. You hear stories of how things go wrong at peoples weddings, well not with us! The staff was incredible, the set up was exactly what we wanted. Our guests were RAVING about how it was the best wedding food they ever had. All of our vendors even commented on the ease of the day. My husband and I have already said we will be back to Sandpearl for our anniversary! It is now a very special place to our hearts. If you are looking to get married in Clearwater, look no further than the Sandpearl Resort and Jennifer. You won’t be disappointed. It truly was the best day of our lives!

Absolutely Perfect
We got married at the Sandpearl and it was so beautiful and everything was done so seamlessly thanks to Katherine King and the staff. Every detail was taken care of and Katherine even came to my hotel room while getting ready to make sure everything was going good. The hotel sent chocolate covered strawberries Friday when I checked in and even Saturday night after the wedding we came back to a bottle of champagne and more chocolate covered strawberries by Katherine. I had a guest or two show up even though they sent their RSVP as decline and Katherine ensured they had a place and meal. Guests raved about the service from the staff and the food! Every meal was served hot. Nothing went wrong with our wedding and I attribute this to Katherine. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
The Sandpearl Is Absolutely Amazing. One of my favorite venues as a Photographer to work in. The staff and Management are impeccable. Your Wedding Day at the Sandpearl will be a memory of a Lifetime!! <3 True Love Photography.
