Tradewinds Grand Island Resort:
Holy crap I could not have asked for a better venue. They had more than enough rooms to accommodate all of our guests, they had back up ballrooms in case it rained. It is an absolutely beautiful resort, and the views are amazing. The only vendors I had to hire are the ones listed above. They helped with everything else, and some family and I did the flowers. 10/10 recommend this whole weekend and I would deal with the stress a million times over.

Perfect location for the perfect beach wedding. Sunset was absolutely gorgeous and we couldn’t have asked for a better staff to assist us for our big day!

I can’t say enough about the Tradewinds and its staff. They made my dream wedding come true! My expectations were exceeded. First and foremost, my contact Rob was amazing to work with. He was quick to responds and always got right back to me. I had a ton of questions and ideas through the entire process, and he always gave me his undivided attention. In addition to Rob, there was Cherish who the coordinator provided by the Tradewinds. I enjoyed working with her as well, she helped to make my vision come to life.
The hotel itself is the perfect beachfront resort. We had over 33 room booked for our big day, and we heard nothing but positive feedback. The resort provided a little but of everything for all ages including the kids. Between the Gulf of Mexico, multiple pools, cabanas, huge slide and entertainment provided by the resort everyone was happy.
It helped that the weather was beyond perfect. The backdrop of the gulf and the sunset really put on a show for our ceremony. It was simple and beautiful. We had an outside reception and decorating was easy when your surrounded by the beach and palm trees. It was stunning with up lighting and café lights. I couldn’t have been more please with the outcome.
The weight staff and bartenders were great. The food was very good, we received multiple compliments. The drinks were great, and the bartenders really hustled and were friendly.
I visited numerous venues from St. Pete Beach up to Clearwater and I’m so happy that we chose the Tradewinds. The staff, hotel and reception venue really came through for us and made our wedding week and big day just perfect.
