Tropical Paradise Wedding

The Resort at Longboat Key Club shines in all aspects! Choosing LBKC as our wedding venue was the BEST decision. My (now) husband and I were looking for an easily accessible destination wedding that would "wow" and this 5-star resort provided just the tropical paradise we were searching for. There are so many stunning spaces to chose from to fit your style and vision. We worked with Ayla, our sunshine girl, for nearly 2 years to plan the perfect weekend. She was always responsive, energetic, and tremendously helpful. She made the process fun and removed any stresses or worries. Thanks to her, and many of LBKC's recommended vendors, we had the wedding of our dreams. The LBKC staff made us feel so special from the very moment we arrived. They go above and beyond each and every day to elevate your experience. Our guests are still raving over the beauty of the property and level of service as the "best they had ever experienced." I absolutely recommend LBKC to other couples! Now, time to plan our next trip back!

best wedding venue!!!

If you want to get married at a place that is beautiful, organized, has amazing food, and wonderful staff then get married here!! We had the pleasure of working with Ayla and our wedding could not have gone better! Ayla is so genuine and was always quick to respond to any of our questions.

There are so many wonderful ceremony and reception sites, you really can't go wrong with any of them. We held our welcome party at banyan cove and our ceremony and reception at harbourside lawn and ballroom. Both locations were so incredibly beautiful, you would have never known a hurricane went through 2 weeks prior. Longboat Key Resort worked tiressely replanting and re-beuatifying the resort after hurricanes helene and milton to ensure our day was everything we dreamed of.

Everyone at the LBKC was so kind and truly made our wedding weekend the best weekend of our lives. From the resort staff, to the catering staff, to the event staff, I could not say enough great things about all of them.

Best venue if you want a perfect picture day!

I highly recommend having a wedding at longboat key club. We had our ceremony on the beach, the sand is super soft and you can never go wrong with the backdrop being the ocean! We used the banyan tree for cocktail hour and then lagoon lawn for the reception, and the flow of this for a wedding is perfect. The wedding team at LBK did an incredible job, they got the venue back in order post hurricane helene and milton and you honestly would have no idea there were two hurricanes that hit the resort if you didn't live here. The grass was so perfect, soft and green, I still cannot figure out how they did that! The space is beautiful, its a night you won't forget. I loved working with the LBK wedding team, they all work really hard and made this day perfect for me.

Ayla and the wedding team at the Longboat Key Club were an absolutely joy to work with! They definitely went the extra mile for our brides. The beach here is very easy to access for wedding days, and the natural dune area makes a beautiful backdrop for wedding photography. The rooms look great for getting ready photos- with large windows and balconies that give you and your bridesmaids plenty of space to start your wedding day in style. I also loved the harborside ballroom- with its cocktail lawn, large verandas for seating and the indoor space has a beautiful open beam ceiling. I can't wait to work with the Longboat Key Club team again this summer!
