Would strongly recommend the St. Petersburg Marriott Clearwater to anyone in the area or even from afar. For me, planning long distance was made easy. Bridgett Chavez was amazing! She was extremely helpful, responsive and made my wedding day vision come to life. She provided us with a lot of food and vendor suggestions - all of them turned out awesome! Our reception was beautiful and the guests loved the food - especially the Mac n Cheese bites, Fig and Goat Cheese Flatbread, and Asian Station. Bridgett, Danny, and the whole staff were on point and the service that day and leading up to it was outstanding.

We LOVE working with the folks at St. Petersburg Marriott Clearwater! They act and treat you like family.

Very thankful to have the opportunity to work with them!
