10/10 Highly Recommend

Dear Sanibel Harbor Marriott Team,

My wife and I are writing to express our sincere gratitude for the outstanding wedding celebration you hosted for us on Saturday, May 24th. Everything about the day exceeded our expectations, and we are still overjoyed with how smoothly and beautifully everything unfolded.

The service we received from every member of your staff was truly amazing. From the initial setup to the final moments of the reception, we were so impressed by the attentiveness and professionalism shown throughout the event. Our guests also commented on how well they were looked after, which meant a great deal to us.

We would especially like to thank Anne Marie. She was absolutely incredible and ensured that every single detail was handled flawlessly. From our initial meetings to the day itself, her guidance and support were invaluable. Her dedication and care made our wedding day so perfect and stress-free. We truly appreciate all of her hard work and attention to detail; she truly went above and beyond to make our vision a reality. We would also like to mention Asta and Kim at the pool bar, along with Sharnette at Tarpon House restaurant.

Thank you again for making our wedding day so memorable. We will cherish the memories created at the Sanibel Harbor Marriott for years to come and will certainly recommend your venue to anyone planning a special event.

Sincerely,
Charles & Erin Wolf

Amazing venue and staff for a wedding.

We worked with AnneMarie and other members of her staff at Sanibel Harbour Marriott Resort and Spa for my daughter's June 2025 wedding. It exceeded expectations. 10 out of 10 for everything. AnneMarie was responsive and worked within our budget to have the most elegant and stress-free wedding experience. The venue is amazing. Our guests had a vacation experience while staying. The room rate was fantastic and the service and food at the resort is wonderful. We never left the resort for our 4 day stay. We never had to, everything was on site.

Can’t recommend enough!!

I can’t say enough good things about Anne Marie and everyone at the Sanibel Harbour Marriott. They were informative, communicative and most importantly supportive through the entire wedding planning process even before we signed a contract. Our guests had nothing but incredible things to say about their rooms and stay in general. The staff were all so welcoming and personable. Every time you entered a room, we were welcomed by a staff member who remembered our names and were all so excited for our wedding. They went above and beyond to make us feel special.

Anne Marie has it figured out. She’s been there for 22 years and has it down to a science. She ran our welcome party and made it look beautiful and seamless. She also coordinated effortlessly with our wedding planner the day of our wedding and pays attention to small details. On the morning of the wedding, she noticed I was cold and brought us all robes and blankets to keep us warm. She is truly a gem!

Service was quick and the food was excellent. We got endless compliments on how good the food was and they were so impressed with the quality when we had 161 guests.

I can’t recommend Sanibel Harbour enough.

Phenomenal Wedding!

Wow! We had an absolutely incredible experience hosting our wedding at the Marriott. From start to finish, everything exceeded our expectations. Joanne, our point of contact, was phenomenal—hands-on, prompt, flexible, and incredibly knowledgeable. She made us feel completely confident and supported throughout the entire planning process, and her presence was a true gift on the big day.

The food was absolutely amazing—our guests are still raving about it! The chef even came out to personally check in with us to make sure we were happy, which was such a thoughtful and appreciated gesture. The level of customer service was exceptional across the board.

The entire staff went above and beyond to make our weekend special, and we’re so grateful for their hospitality and attention to detail. We hosted a full weekend of events, including a welcome gathering on Friday, our ceremony and reception on Saturday, and a farewell breakfast on Sunday—with 175 guests flying in from all over—and everything ran seamlessly.

I highly recommend the Marriott as a wedding venue. If you're managing a hotel room block, be sure to stay in close communication with the Marriott team—booking logistics can get a little complicated (not the staff’s fault!), but with clear coordination, it all works out.

We couldn’t be happier. Thank you, Marriott team, for helping us create such unforgettable memories!

Golden 50th Anniversary Celebration

We celebrated or parents Golden 50th Anniversary at the Sanibel Harbour Marriott Resort and Spa in March. The Island Veranda and Ballroom was absolutely beautiful, perfect for their special occasion. Joanne and her staff were amazing from the initial contact thru the completion of the event. We can’t thank them enough for their attention to detail. The cocktails, hors d’oeuvres and the main course were absolutely delicious! We would highly recommend the Sanibel Harbour Marriott for your next special event.

Best Wedding of the Year!

Our Wedding was absolutely perfect! Our guests stayed at the resort for 3 days and wouldn’t stop talking about how much fun they had and how it was the best wedding they have ever been to! The resort itself was beautiful inside and out, the pool was the main hub for socializing each day, the service was excellent, and the wedding and ceremony were outstanding! Not a problem or glitch at all. Everyone had a fabulous time! Anne Marie who is the Wedding Coordinator at the resort was Amazing! She and her team made sure everyone was taken care of and that there were no issues. I highly recommend you booking your events here or just staying for a weekend as it was perfect!

Amazing Venue and Planner

We recently had the pleasure of working with JoAnne for our wedding, and we are overall satisfied with the experience. JoAnne ensured that our big day went off without any major issues, which we are very grateful for.

She was always available when we needed her and responded promptly to our inquiries. She kept everything on track, and her attention to the timeline helped us stay organized.

On the day of the event, JoAnne was present and attentive, ensuring that everything ran as planned.

We appreciate the effort and dedication that JoAnne put into making our day special. We would recommend this venue and her services to those looking for a dependable and responsive wedding planner.

The 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!
