    Perfect Beach Wedding!!

    Bilmar Beach Resort was the best decision we made for where we wanted to get married. The venue has everything you need for a perfect beach wedding. Danielle and Shayley were amazing to work with throughout the entire process. Danielle was always responsive, helpful, and made sure all our needs were met. The staff we worked with were extremely pleasant, efficient, and accommodating. The food/beverages were great and the weather from the Waves venue made it a perfect day!!

    Beutiful venue for ceremony and reception!

    My daughter wanted to get married on a beach, but not in our home state - I found the Bilmar during a google search for venues and we liked what we saw on their website. We looked at their reviews on WeddingWire and they were stellar so we went for it - sight unseen (except for pictures online). We were thrilled with how everything turned out. Krystn was always on hand to answer my many emails and Danielle was fabulous at keeping everyone informed and organized during the rehearsal and wedding days. The setup for the beach ceremony was so beautiful and the venue (The Waves) was gorgeous. All of the staff we worked with were extremely pleasant, efficient and accommodating. We also held a farewell brunch the following day (also in The Waves) and, once again, everything was amazing.

    Bilmar Beach Resort's reply:

    Isabella,
    It was such an honor and joy to be a part of your daughters special day. Thank you for putting your trust in Krystn and the Bilmar. We hope that Treasure island can become a home away from home for your family and friends! Thank you for all your kind words.

    Amazing staff and venue!

    We planned an out of state wedding from New York and we are so happy we chose The Bilmar. Tara, the catering manager we worked with from day one, was nothing short of amazing. She helped make wedding planning as easy as posible with so much information and details. She was so helpful and sweet. Our day of coordinator Alyssa was just as wonderful and helped our day go perfectly. She was there to make sure everything went smoothly and made sure my husband and I had everything we needed. The food, service, venue and staff were absolutely amazing. We could not have had a more perfect wedding and that is all thanks to The Bilmar. This is a gorgeous location and we are so happy with our choice! We had the wedding of our dreams!

    Took the Stress out!

    Tara & Danielle at Bilmar are AWESOME! They were so responsive & helpful. Just thinking about the stress of a destination wedding was almost too much for me. BUT, when I found Bilmar & Tara jumped right in & was so informative & reassuring it took the stress away! Our wedding day ran absolutely perfectly! The sunset was perfect, the food was great & everyone enjoyed themselves!! It was an absolute perfect day! ❤️

    Great Hotel for Wedding - Schulte Wedding

    Bilmar is an amazing Hotel for wedding, had everything you could ask for. From multiple restaurants onsite, to various within walking distance. Our wedding party utilized the sundeck for gathering and games the first night, had open area outside the reception hall which was very convenient and went fire side on the last night to enjoy time with the last few guests. Staff was very professional, everything was accounted for and no last minutes surprises. Wedding coordinator made the day a cake walk. The reception hall is newly renovated and very stylish. The food was amazing and still getting compliments on how tasty everything was. I would recommend it to anyone who seeks a great venue for their special day. Dallas Schulte Groom 11/29/19

    Bilmar Beach Resort was amazing

    Bilmar Beach Resort turned what could have been a disaster into the best blessing in disguise. My original venue cancelled on us less then 3 months before the wedding. My DJ recommended I check with Bilmar Beach Resort and they thankfully were available! From the first call with Tara throughout the entire process and wedding I couldn’t have been more pleased with everything. The location was beautiful, the staff was amazing and everything was absolutely perfect!

    Best Wedding Ever!

    I worked with Tara and Alyssa who helped with my wedding planning and day of coordination! They were so amazing and helpful in making our wedding day the best day of our lives. Our wedding had a laid back beach vibe but was so classy at the same time. I am so thankful for our experience and I highly recommend the Bilmar for your wedding!

    The Perfect Wedding Venue

    We were married here in November 2020 and would recommend it to anyone getting married in the Treasure Island area! We are from Pennsylvania and toured 4 venues in St. Pete and Anna Maria Island, but as soon as we stopped at the Bilmar we knew it was the one. Tara and Julie were so incredibly helpful. Planning from far away I was nervous about the communication - but they were both so responsive and made me feel 100% comfortable. I never had an email go unanswered, and I truly cannot thank them both enough!

    We booked a penthouse and then another last minute (thank you Julie and front desk staff) so both parties would have a big room to get ready in and I'd highly suggest it.  We did have a small hiccup/communication mishap with welcome gift bags not being passed out to our guests, but the front desk staff fixed it by delivering them to each room.

    Alyssa was our day of coordinator, she ran everything perfectly! The wedding itself was exactly what we envisioned and more for our wedding day. We upgraded to water's edge for the ceremony as we wanted the beach background photos and to minimize the number of people walking through the background/pictures and would definitely recommend it. And the indoor/outdoor patio right on the beach is exactly what we wanted for the reception - the perfect beach vibe and having access to an air-conditioned room to cool down while grabbing a drink.

    We cannot say enough great things about the venue and staff & cannot wait to visit in the future!!

    As the aunt of the bride and mother of the flower girl, I wanted to share that I loved the wedding at Bilmar. My niece looked like a goddess on the beach. Beautiful decor, great reception. I would highly recommend!

    Absolutely Amazing

    The Bilmar was the best! Tara answered any question I had very fast and made sure we had a great experience. We are not from Florida so could not even see the venue until the week before the wedding, but Tara made sure everything turned out great! The food and service was outstanding! Everyone left raving about the food!

    Hello Megan, Thank you very much for sharing your experience and these beautiful pictures! We miss you already. Happy Holidays

    The Bilmar gave me my dream wedding!!

    I got married at The Bilmar on November 3, 2019 and words can’t express how amazing it was!! Not only is the venue gorgeous, the entire staff was so accommodating and very focused on making our day special! Tara was our wedding planner and she is the absolute best! From start to finish she made our wedding vision come to life! She was always so quick to respond to my many emails, and made all of my requests seem easy. I had decided I didn’t want to use the traditional wedding menu for dinner, rather I wanted to do a beach grillout buffet of hot dogs, hamburgers, bbq chicken, etc. Without hesitation she made that happen and it was exactly as I imagined! She truly cares about her clients and you can see how passionate she is about what she does. :) Julie managed our guest room block, and I’m not kidding when I say she’s the nicest person you’ll ever meet! Whether it was over email or phone she always treated me like an old friend :) and of course she made the whole room block process so easy with no issues whatsoever! Finally, Alyssa was our day of coordinator and she is AMAZING! She decorated our ceremony/reception and made it look absolutely flawless! She is so organized, detail oriented, and creative! She took all the stress out of the day and made it a breeze! :) Thank you so much to everyone at The Bilmar! All of our guests raved about how much fun they had and that they hope to come back and visit! If you want a gorgeous, memorable wedding The Bilmar is for you!!!

    Bilmar Beach Resort's reply:

    Christina & Trevor, Thank you very much for your kind words, we will be sure to share with our staff members! We adore you two and how sweet you were the whole planning process. We wish you the very best! Looking forward to seeing you again. Happy Holidays! Love, Tara, Julie, Alyssa and Bilmar Staff

    Had a blast! Great views, space, and food!

    Had a great time at the Coral Wedding! My 10 year employee Dana Kitain and her husband Jorge Coral got married here 01/25/2020 and we stayed in the resort and had a wonderful experience! The wedding turned out beautiful! White sand beach background, great food, great bar service, and a lot of fun! The hotel was well maintained and the front desk staff was great! Hotel smelled and looked very nice and the beds were comfortable! We had a blast dancing the night away and sitting by the fire!

    Thank you for Making it the happiest day of my life!

    Everything was perfect from the food to the venue to the hotel rooms! I could not stop smiing! Not only did I get to marry my best friend but got to do it with a beautiful view! We had so much fun dancing! We chose the Cafe/Patio because of the South Beach chic style bar and beach level views! Tara was awesome and very helpful! Bilmar was the only resort we previewed that went above and beyond and allowed us to view the hotel rooms when we were there to see the venue! The rooms were remodeled and nice! She helped my wife and I throughout the process and it turned out perfect! Alyssa the day of coordinator made sure everything ran smoothly as well! Wish it lasted longer as it flew by so fast!

    I attended my sons wedding at the Bilmar Jan 25th and it was beautiful! Of course it was a little cold but they had heaters and fire pits set up for us! The food, view, and decorations were set up exactly as we had imagined! I helped make the decorations and Alyssa the day of coordinator had it set up the way we envisioned! My son and daughter in law loved it and our family raved about the resort and the wedding! Thank you to the Bilmar staff for everything!

    We have been told our wedding was the best wedding by many!

    Let me start by thanking Tara, Julie, and Alyssa at the Bilmar for making everything so easy and run so smoothly! They were attentive and helpful since the beginning! We had our wedding there 01/25/2020 with about 150 people in the Cafe and Patio area. It was the only venue we could fins in the TI and St Pete area that had a venue with a beach level view of the beach. It was perfect for us as we took into consideration the beach view we wanted, no stairs, an easily accessible smoking area so the smokers weren't missing for 30 minutes, and enough area for children to run around and not bother the dance party! It was chilly out so we had the fire puts going as well and it was just beautiful! My family and friends raved about the ambiance and the food! We had the prime rib which is all made medium well and even though, we like medium rare, it was still very tender! We had a wine based sauced chicken as our 2nd entree. All the vendors that Tara recommended were wonderful as well! We would totally recommend this resort to anyone looking for a beach wedding. We had our rehearsal dinned which also was great on a private deck overlooking the beach at the restaurant attached to the Bilmar, Sloppy Joes. All the rooms were remodeled and super clean and our guests loved the resort! We wish we had another wedding to plan here! We will miss everyone at the Bilmar and cannot wait to stay there again! Thank you for helping us plan the perfect dream wedding!

    Beautiful beach wedding

    Being the Bride I was looking for the perfect place to have a sunset beach wedding. The Bilmar surpassed my expectations. They made the process so easy and stress free. They were flexible and did everything they could to meet your needs. Everyone at the wedding raved about how beautiful everything was and how great the food was. The Schulte 11/29 wedding was the best day ever thanks to Tara and Julie ensuring we had everything we needed to have perfect wedding.

    If you want a dream beach wedding, come to Bilmar resort

    Schulte wedding 11/29/19/ bridesmaid. This is as perfect as it gets for a wedding venue. The resort has the amazing view, the accommodations for guests, the coordinator (who was on top of everything), and the beach right there, of course. We had an amazing time and enjoyed the hotel, including the pools and the restaurant. Very memorable experience. Thank you Bilmar!

    Perfection!

    My husband and I were married at the Bilmar Beach Resort on Oct. 18th as an unexpected tropical storm was climbing up the coast. I’ve always dreamed of a beach wedding and even with a storm quickly approaching the area, Tara made it happen. And it was PERFECT! Everything from the rehearsal to the ceremony to the reception was well organized and beautiful. Tara kept me up to date on everything that was going on and helped this very anxious bride relax a little more. Julie took care of our rooms for the night and even enabled us to check in early the day before the wedding. The entire Bilmar team was attentive, professional, and absolutely amazing! Highly highly recommended!

    Brian and Ajie Get Married #BrAjie

    My father was married here a week ago (Oct. 13) and it was great! The staff were kind and responsive to all our questions. They made sure we had what we needed, especially for people needing help walking on the sand. It was nice having someone pack the left over cake not to mention being told that your family has a gorgeous wedding party! What woman doesn't like being told she's gorgeous! I would reccomend this resort due to location, staffing and price. It's having everyone stay where its affordable but also being able to watch the sunset with loved ones every night on the beach. 😊

    Bilmar Beach Resort's reply:

    Hello beautiful Janea, Thank you for letting us know about your experience. We are grateful you and your family had a fabulous time! Take Care.

    Brian & Ajie 2019 💍

    I arrived on a red eye from the west coast the morning of the event. The front desk staff was kind enough to get us into a room early to rest and refresh. The ceremony location on the beach was easily accessible. The food at the reception was really good. Our family has a great time.
