Wedding 11/22

We recently hosted our wedding at the Hotel Zamora and it was nothing short of amazing. Hurricane Helene and Hurricane Milton came by just a month before our wedding and the staff was very quick with communication on the status of the hotel and venue. The new rooms and lobby is BEAUTIFUL!! & made for amazing pictures. The new bridal get ready room (Valencia room) was refreshed and made for a great getting ready space with lots of room for makeup artists and other vendors to leave their stuff during the wedding. Even with a crazy amount of wind and a very cold night, the Hotel stepped up and made sure their new heaters were built in time for the wedding. I would totally recommend this place to anyone who asks.

Best experience ever!

We used The Hotel Zamora for our November 2023 wedding and had an unforgettable experience. It was truly the best night of our lives and so many of our guests told us it was the best wedding they’d ever been to!

The hotel is beautiful, and the 360 Rooftop views speak for themselves, but what really made our experience so wonderful was the staff. We mostly worked with the event manager Carly Davis who is a GEM!! She has the best energy, was so easy to work with, was great about answering my millions of questions, and really made us feel that she had everything under control.

At one point during the dinner service there was an issue with the service elevator, and Carly rallied the kitchen staff to hand carry all the food up the stairs from the kitchen to the rooftop. Neither myself, my husband, or any of our guests knew there was an issue because the staff handled it so quickly and expertly. It was that level of service that really blew us away! Our guests also raved about the food. My uncle, who’s traveled the world, said it was the best steak he’s ever had.

Overall, we would absolutely recommend The Hotel Zamora and can’t wait to come back to visit for our anniversary! Thank you to all who helped make our wedding a dream come true.

The Absolute BEST!

Our wedding took place on Dec. 2 and was the most perfect day! I will recommend The Hotel Zamora to anyone getting married! From the very first meeting, Jacqueline was extremely nice and was very responsive through the entire planning process! Carly was amazing as well! Jacqueline and Carly were both quick to address any concerns that we had and come up with remedies. We felt like we were their only clients with how attentive they were, even though I’m sure they had a ton of other clients. The wedding venue itself is absolutely gorgeous and between the venue coordinators and our wedding planner, everything on the actual wedding day went seamlessly. Our guests STILL talk about how amazing the food and the venue was. The beach is right across the street for amazing sunset wedding photos and there are so many awesome spots for pictures on the hotel property! Our day was perfect and we loved every minute. Definitely have your wedding here! Also it’s dog friendly!

The food was fantastic- their catering team & chef are top notch. Carly is an absolute gem! She was so helpful leading up to the wedding & was so supportive on the day. They are the best to work with & have all the accommodations you could need.

Amazing Venue!

Our wedding at The Hotel Zamora was a DREAM! The new ownership is fantastic and the entire weekend was everything and more. Carly, our event manager, had the best attitude and was very responsive during our planning process. Splitting the roof for cocktail hour and reception allowed our guests to mingle and take plenty of amazing photos. We also are still receiving compliments on the food! I would not change one thing about our wedding weekend and would recommend The Hotel Zamora to everyone!

We had our rehearsal dinner and brunch here for our wedding.

We had a beautiful wedding weekend at Hotel zamora. Our guests had an amazing time. We had our rehearsal dinner on the rooftop, and it was stunning! We had our brunch on the Veranda, which was nicely shaded. Huge shutout to Nicolette and Diego from the event staff.

Hotel Zamora is an amazing, boutique hotel in St Pete Beach. We love the restaurant, Castile and the views from the rooftop are incredible. We have done many toes-in-the-sand ceremonies on the beach in nearby Pass-a-Grille, followed by a reception at Hotel Zamora. For small receptions (25 or less), we love the small chef's table-type room adjacent to the restaurant. For weddings of 50-100, the rooftop is the perfect venue! The guestrooms are great here as well! It is definitely a favorite of our clients.
