The Resort at Longboat Key Club

The team at the Resort at Longboat Key have been INCREDIBLE to work with. From the very first day when I had a virtual tour call with Gwen, to showing us and both of our families around the resort on three separate occasions, hosting us at the grand tasting, making sure we were happy with every rented space, and execution on wedding day, Gwen was BEYOND amazing! I know from following the LBKC Wedding Instagram account that the team at LBKC is EXTREMELY busy, but Gwen made us feel like we were the only couple she was working with by always helping us in a timely manner, making us feel SO important whenever we met with her or saw her, and even spoiling us with surprise bubbly and desserts in our suite on wedding day! This was a destination wedding for us, but the LBKC became our wedding family.

The variety of beautiful venue spaces LBKC can provide is beyond! Gwen also helped us plan our rehearsal dinner pretty last minute (within 50 days from the day) when our original venue could not reopen in time after hurricane damage. Spike N Tees was an amazing rehearsal dinner spot and photos do not even do this space justice! Our ceremony at South Lawn was exactly what we envisioned from the day we saw the venue space, and Gwen made sure we were happy with it since it had changed a bit between our original venue tour to wedding day. Harbourside Terrace and Lawn was transformed into a wedding straight off of our Pinterest board and although it is beautiful as-is, it can really be molded into the space of your dreams and is the perfect spot for a dreamy outdoor wedding!

Don't even get me started on the food! From meals/drinks at the resort during our stay, rehearsal dinner & cocktail hour, and finally the wedding cocktail hour, dinner, and late-night snacks - our guests were RAVING about how delicious everything was! I have never been at a wedding where the food was talked about THIS much. We had tried mostly everything attending the grand tasting event, but for the things we didn't get to try, Gwen was so helpful providing suggestions and is super knowledgeable of the menu. The wait staff was incredible and friendly - we even had our own personal sever the night of the wedding that made sure we got to eat from the stations we wanted and then boxed up all of the leftovers for us to enjoy for days to come!

We are so happy and feel so lucky to have had the LBKC throughout the wedding process and for making our day unforgettable.

From the moment we met Gwen during our tour, we immediately felt at ease and knew we were in good hands. She has such a bubbly, enthusiastic, and knowledgeable presence that makes everything feel manageable, even in the middle of all the wedding planning.

Throughout the process, Gwen was incredibly attentive and responsive—always just an email away. Every question we had was answered quickly and thoughtfully, and she always came with helpful advice and great ideas. She went above and beyond what we expected from a coordinator and honestly felt more like a friend guiding us through it all.

We truly couldn’t have had such a smooth and enjoyable wedding day without her. If you’re getting married at this venue, you are so lucky to have Gwen!🤍🤍

My husband & I got married at The Resort at Longboat Key Club in January & it was perfect. We worked directly with Gwen & couldn't have had a better experience. From our initial site visit to the end of the wedding weekend, Gwen & her team were the best & always 3 steps ahead. Our weekend was jam packed - everything was on site - rehearsal dinner, welcome party, ceremony, reception & brunch the next day. Not one detail was missed. We also had approx. 200 guests stay at the resort & they were all treated so wonderfully. This place is so special & so are all the people who work there. I can't recommend this place enough!!!!! Made all my dreams come true.

We had a wonderful experience hosting our wedding at the Resort at Longboat Key Club. Even though we had a smaller wedding of about 30 guests, the day truly felt just as important and thoughtfully handled as a large event.

From the planning process through the wedding day, Milu and her team were organized, responsive, and a pleasure to work with. They were incredibly flexible and supportive of all my ideas and DIY details, which made the day feel very personal to us. We also greatly appreciated their flexibility in accommodating a last-minute guest addition just 48 hours before the wedding.

We were especially grateful for all the thoughtful touches throughout the wedding weekend — from being welcomed with a framed photo and wine upon arrival to returning after the wedding to a beautifully decorated hotel suite with rose petals and chocolates. Those details did not go unnoticed and made the experience feel truly special.

The venue itself is beautiful, our guests had an amazing time, and everything ran smoothly from start to finish. We would highly recommend the Resort at Longboat Key Club to couples looking for a beautiful Florida wedding that is well run and very accommodating.

Oh my goodness! I literally do not know where to begin. We’re still floating on cloud nine after our wedding at LBKC (ceremony/cocktail hour at Oak Grove & reception at Harbourside Lawn). It was truly everything we dreamed of and more - Actual perfection from start to finish. The biggest reason it was so seamless was hands down because of Ayla Goggin. From the minute we met her, this venue was a YES from us! No questions. She (& her team!) were incredibly patient, thoughtful, responsive, POSITIVE, and attentive to every.single.detail. They eased any anxiety or stress that naturally presented itself throughout the process (especially with this being a destination wedding for us), and constantly offered guidance and genuine support to help navigate any issues. When I reflect on our wedding, I automatically think about the team who helped us get there.

Our guests are still in awe, and so are we! They all continue to gush about the ambiance within the different venue spaces (so many to choose from), the seamless flow of the day, and, of course, they all caught onto the care, LOVE, and amazing energy that the LBKC events team provided everyone. We were so blessed to be on this journey alongside Ayla, but also so lucky to connect with the rest of her team on several occasions throughout the process (Gwen, Milu, Bailey - you name it!). Any events team member you come in contact with has beaming energy and ready to help you - They truly work as one. Oh, and the servers & bartenders?! The absolute SWEETEST!! All I wanted to do was continue saying thank you all night and give each of them hugs (I saw so many of our guests having the best conversations with them all) 🥂💞

I'm so sad our wedding is over, but incredibly grateful that we get to cherish all the core memories we've made with this stellar team. I promise you - You will leave at the end of your wedding knowing you have an entire group of amazing humans on your side, cheering you on for life, and we feel so fortunate for that. We will be gushing about them forever!!!!

So, if you’re thinking about booking your wedding at LBKC - do it. It’s pure magic. ✨

My husband and I toured Longboat Key Club during an impromptu trip to Florida but never considered having a destination wedding. From the moment we met Ayla during the initial tour we knew we would be excellent hands and receive exceptional service. Ayla truly had such a big impact on us for selecting this as our wedding venue- she was so friendly, knowledgeable, and attentive. Not to mention the property is absolutely beautiful. After our tour, we immediately changed our minds of having a destination wedding and secured our date as soon as we got home. It was the easiest and best decision we made to get married at Longboat Key Club. They offer many different locations for both the ceremony and reception between the marina, golf courses, beaches- you get a little bit of everything. The entire staff is so friendly and very helpful. Throughout the entire wedding process Ayla would answer any and all questions and concerns we had with ease. Even on the day of our wedding with the slight hiccup of a rain storm, Ayla and the entire staff made sure that everything went smoothly so we could have our perfect wedding day. We even had dolphins swimming in the ocean behind us during the ceremony. Ayla and the team at Longboat Key Club truly take pride in providing excellent service and making you feel right at home during your stay. We got married March 29, 2025 and our guests to this day still tell us how much they loved the resort and wedding. My husband and I can't stop talking about when we will go back.

We loved working with Ayla she was SO helpful and made herself available via email all the time and via phone whenever we needed to ask her more detailed questions. Ayla helped us navigate tough decisions about delaying our wedding incase it rained and made suggestions that worked out perfectly. Our guests still talk about our wedding & how pretty it was. They also really liked the resort and thought it was worth the money. The food was the best wedding food I / my guests have ever had! From the apps to the huge portion in meals everyone was satisfied! I liked how they can somewhat customize things on the menu to fit our needs. Overall we are so happy and would do it all over again!

I have nothing but good things to say about working with Ayla at the Longboat Key Club. She answered all of our questions in a timely manner and was incredibly patient with us - we were constantly bugging her! She knows the Resort like the back of her hand, and was amazing to work with from start to finish. I cannot recommend getting married at the Resort at Longboat Key Club more! We hosted our Welcome Party, Ceremony, and Reception at the Resort - there are so many beautiful venues to choose from! You will not regret getting married here.

We had a great experience working with The Resort at Longboat Key Club. The venue was absolutely stunning and provided the perfect backdrop for capturing beautiful photos and videos!

The team was organized, helpful, and made sure everything ran smoothly, which made our job easier and allowed the couple to truly enjoy their day.

We’d be happy to work together again and highly recommend them to any couple looking for a gorgeous and well-run wedding venue!

We spent an unforgettable week at Longboat Key Club for our daughter’s wedding, and it truly felt like a dream from beginning to end.

Milu, our phenomenal resort events coordinator, was the heart of it all. She reached out early and often to perfect every detail—including special menu requests to ensure the reception would be exactly what the bride and groom envisioned. She made it all happen!

The entire team—from valet to beach staff, were beyond attentive, and incredibly accommodating. The beach staff made our days feel so special! Happily greeting our group each morning, setting up our chairs and insuring the bride/ groom had great beach days! Every person we encountered contributed to making the experience incredible!

This wasn’t just a wedding day—it was a full wedding week filled with love, family memories , and personal touches that we’ll never forget. We are so grateful to Milu and the entire Longboat Key Club team for helping us bring our daughter’s dream to life.
