    Amazing wedding venue

    We highly recommend B Ocean Resort for any event. The space was outstanding, food excellent, and service amazing. Thank you for hosting us and our friends and family for an amazing wedding service.

    Thank you Ioana. It was such a pleasure getting to know you both. The B Ocean team enjoyed your family so much at both rehearsal dinner and the wedding celebration. Best wishes to you.

    Beautiful spot for a beach wedding

    This is the only hotel that has a beach on it's property on Fort Lauderdale Beach. The private beach was perfect for the intimate wedding ceremony of our dreams. The terrace area had a gorgeous view of the beach. Cathy Fox always responded to our emails on a timely manner and answered all of our questions. She provided amazing customer service. Miguel managed the catering staff extremely well and the food, including the appetizers were amazing. This is a great venue because the guests do not have to travel to different parts of the wedding celebration and the beach is wide and picturesque. The wedding suite had the best view of the house and was stunning!

    B Ocean Resort Fort Lauderdale's reply:

    Thank you Jennifer. It was our pleasure to host your wedding celebration. I wish you and Dom all the best that life has to offer.
    Cathy

    Great Venue

    We’re so glad we had our wedding at B Ocean! The staff was great throughout the whole process. Joffrey was our main contact through the whole process and he was great to work with. We can’t thank him enough. Due to Covid we had to reschedule and they were very accommodating. Helped us figure out a new date and made the process of rescheduling as pain free as possible. We definitely recommend having your wedding at B Ocean. The beach ceremony was perfect and we had our reception in the point room which overlooked the beach. The food is always amazing there. The chef and his staff did a great job. Thank you everyone! We will remember our wedding day for the rest of our lives 🏝💕

    Great Beach Venue

    The B Hotel was wonderful to work with. Joffrey and his staff were responsive, organized and listened to what we wanted for our event. They went out of their way to accommodate us and our guests. The vendors were also amazing. From the beach wedding and cocktail hour to our ballroom reception...everything was great!

    B Ocean is a wonderful venue for a Beach Wedding!

    Joffrey Brown, the event manager was a pleasure to deal with!!! We were in the middle of a global pandemic, had a major nor'easter and the coldest temperatures in over a decade in Florida--but thanks to Joffrey everything was wonderful!

    The space was great! The hotel has its own private beach, and was just what my daughter was looking for. Joffrey was extremely flexible and easy to work with. We needed to change the date, change the time, change the counts etc. Nothing seemed to bother Joffrey. He was all about making sure we had a wonderful wedding weekend!

    Beach wedding

    I had my wedding here and it was PERFECT, everything I dreamed of. Jeoffrey was so attentive and went above and beyond to provide everything I wanted, despite last minute changes and my busy work schedule. Thank you so much B Ocean for making my day special.

    We chose B Ocean since we wanted a beaching wedding. Unfortunately, rain fell and we had to move the ceremony indoors. That DEFINITELY did not stop Mark and his staff and the ceremony was held indoors. My husband and I thought that the wedding was better indoors after all !!!. Our family could not stop talking about the service and elegance of this well planned event. My mom is a fan of yours, Mark!! Please thank all your staff for the service during the event. The food was excellent and thank you for making our wedding dreams come true.

    Our wedding was a dream come true! My husband and I are well pleased with the staff from the B Ocean Resort. Our overall experience was wonderful. Our coordinator, who is also the Director of Catering, Mark Semple, was phenomenal. He was patient, kind, and truly went above and beyond to make sure every detail was intact and our schedule ran smoothly. Our guest have not stopped saying how beautiful everything was and the food from the reception was exquisite!

    We selected the B Ocean (now the Sonesta Hotel) on Fort Lauderdale Beach as our venue for our wedding ceremony and reception. We used the 2nd floor balcony for the ceremony and the Infinity Ballroom for our reception. You absolutely can not beat the views in their ballroom space. Not only was the venue is amazing, but the hotel and event staff were also incredible. We could not have been more happy with this selection for our wedding. As a word of warning, I insisted on being married outside on the balcony and we were treated to the sounds of a poorly-timed fire truck parade during our ceremony. It ended up perfect for us, but the noise levels are something to consider.

    Many of our guests (including my husband & I) stayed at this hotel and it was incredible. The rooms were very nice and the hotel staff was amazing. We ate in the restaurant several times and all of the meals were very good. There are also several bars & restaurants in the neighborhood so guests had plenty of options for activity while they were attending our wedding.

    Everyone at the B Ocean hotel was more than incredible for my wedding! The hotel itself is ideal with the most gorgeous view and a penthouse that was built for the perfect event. I worked with Arthur Sands as my coordinator and he was very accommodating, attentive and just an overall nice person. He made sure no detail was missed and stayed on top of everything. The people that I worked with the day of my wedding were equally as amazing! Noha, Jeff, and William were as kind and helpful as Arthur had been. The staff and the accommodations at the B Ocean were top notch and I would not change a single thing about my wedding!

    My wedding

    My wedding was beautiful despite the construction of the NHL rink during my ceremony and not letting me know it was going to be built until the day before my wedding.

    B Ocean Resort Fort Lauderdale's reply:

    Thank you so much for choosing to have your wedding at B Ocean Resort Fort Lauderdale. It was our pleasure being a part of your most special day. NHL was a pop-up citywide event that occurred without enough notice. We sincerely apologize if it negatively impacted your experience.

    We look forward to welcoming you again soon in the near future.

    B Well,

    Noha Ghali
    Director of Catering and Convention Services

    Destination Wedding

    B Ocean helped us to celebrate our small destination wedding of 62 people. We booked with them a year out and they were very helpful in providing vendors in the area that they trusted and had worked with in the past. They packages are affordable and even include your wedding cake! The best part was our rehearsal dinner was able to incorporate the infamous mermaid show at the Wreck Bar. We can’t thank B Ocean enough for providing us with a magical weekend!

    Great Venue, Great Staff

    My husband and I are Florida locals and knew we wanted to have a venue that allowed our guests to get a taste of Florida, and B Ocean allowed us to do just that. The hotel is beautiful and situated right on the beach, a treat for any guests who are coming from out of town. The spaces within the venue are beautiful and can provide a unique feel depending on what you choose. We chose to do an indoor ceremony and reception, both spaces with large windows overlooking the beach and ocean. Our guests loved it!

    We did work with 3 different venue coordinators during our 2 year planning process, and although the change in coordinators was not ideal, each was extremely caring and attentive to our needs. It was clear that they cared about our wedding, our experience and us as a couple. We never once felt like we were "just another number". During a bulk of our planning process, we worked with Naomi who was extremely responsive and flexible. She helped us to coordinate our food tasting where we requested Haitian dishes which the Chef and his team executed amazingly. We got so many compliments on our wedding food.

    My husband and I visited B Ocean a few times to look at the site and to ask questions, visits that the staff were always willing to accommodate. On the day of our wedding, we worked with Karen, who did a great job working with our day of coordinator and other vendors to make sure our event ran smoothly. She always made it a point to check in on me and my husband to make sure we were doing okay which was very appreciated.

    We organized a courtesy block which we unfortunately had some challenges with during our planning process, but were able to resolve these issues.

    Overall, we had a fantastic experience working with B Ocean and would recommend them to couples looking for a venue in Ft. Lauderdale!
