Absolutely magical day at Pelican Point surrounded by beach and water.
We could not have asked for a more beautiful day at Isla Bella on pelican point surrounded by beach, water and beautiful birds under the palm trees. Isla Bella has created an atmosphere that is magnificent for weddings and their The food was amazing. Our guests were delighted to be at this venue, and it was affordable. All in food venue drinks, appetizers tables chairs linens I spent $26k for 30 quests had a five star event.Isla Bella Beach Resort's reply:

Amazing Wedding Weekend!
Our wedding was canceled due to Hurricane Ian so we drove down to the keys to look at some new venues. The moment we pulled into Isla Bella we knew it was the place for us. The resort is incredibly beautiful, the staff is so friendly, and they made planning an impromptu wedding so easy. Kate made time for us last minute to give us a tour and then saved our date as we decided on our new plans. They created a room block for us which did have a few glitches, but the team worked very quickly to get it resolved. When it came down to the day everyone checked in seamlessly, the staff was amazing and made sure the day went by so smoothly, and Sophia our coordinator was a pleasure to work with. Everything we wanted the made it happen. I can't say enough good things about the resort, all our guests raved about it and it turned out to a be a dream weekend! -

Fantastic and Romantic...the perfect wedding venue!
Like so many, COVID-19 forced us to find a new location for our daughter's wedding event. Isla Bella Resort was the perfect choice! -

We were blown away with our stay at Isla Bella. Given the COVID situation, my husband and I decided not to travel internationally for our honeymoon. However, we wanted a beautiful and relaxing experience, and we found that at this resort!
Isla Bella is only a few years old, so everything was clean, neat, and top of the line. They also have several on site water sport businesses, so we didn't need to travel to go SNUBA diving, jet skiing, or even hire a private charter to take us to a sand bar! All staff were gracious, and we received excellent service during our stay.
The spa was wonderful, and the couples massage was very relaxing. We did not feel the need to rent a car as the taxi services were reasonably priced and very quick (a car within 10 minutes pretty much anywhere in the key).
The concierge worked with us to make reservations for dinner at their superb restaurant on site, as well as other great places on the island.
We had a fabulous time at Isla Bella, and hope to return! -

We had the most incredible weekend and wedding day ever at Isla Bella! Kate & Laurie were an amazing team to work with and made our wedding dreams come to life. They were so organized and accountable that I didn't have to do anything, but give our overall vision of what we wanted. My family and friends still talk about how blown away we all are! Pick Isla Bella for your wedding day and I promise you - it will be so unforgettable for everyone! Their recommended vendors are so talented as well. -

The Resort was absolutely beautiful we stayed for a whole week. Kate & Laurie were so helpful and easy to communicate with. They reserved the room we wanted which was directly in front of the sunrise pier, where we actually got married. They also made our dinner reservations for the night of the wedding. As well as welcomed us with champagne and some goodies to take back to the room after we checked in! We can’t say enough good things about this resort and the wedding team! I’d also highly recommend the Spa! Nubia who did my hair and make up was amazing! -

My husband and I hosted our dream wedding in April at Isla Bella. The resort and venue are breathtaking and it was the perfect setting for our intimate gathering! We hosted our welcome dinner, ceremony and reception all on property. The ceremony took place out on the dock with beautiful water views. The cocktail hour and reception were held in the same area at Pelican Point, which was an ideal spot for a private celebration under the palm trees with beautiful string lighting. An absolute dream! Our family and friends could not stop raving about the resort and our wedding. As Floridians, we feel like it is by far the most beautiful beach resort in Florida. You feel like you’re some place far away in the Mediterranean. No other resort compares!
Laurie, our conference services manager with Isla Bella, was amazing! She helped us through the entire planning process and was so great to work with, customizing everything for us and helping with all of our questions throughout the months and weeks leading up to our big day. Jennifer was awesome as our day-of point person. Sharon was super helpful securing room block accommodations in advance for our guests. Huge thanks to Doug, Moshe and Natalie helping with our room arrangements at the front office, as well as Josue and Chris helping with our luggage.
Our servers and bartenders were all wonderful, not only for our wedding, but through our entire wedding week stay. We heard compliments from our guests that our bartenders remembered every type of drink each person was drinking and were so fun and personable at our wedding. We had awesome bartenders Ramon and James serving up delicious cocktails, banquet server House, banquet captain Enrique, Chef Pavy, Sous Chef Sandor, and Cook Gabriella creating the most amazing meals tailored to our tastes! The food and drinks were phenomenal.
If we could do it all over, we would hands down choose Isla Bella again. We are already are making plans for next year and can’t wait to return to the resort to celebrate our 1 year anniversary! -

The Cook Wedding
This resort was an absolute dream come true for our wedding!!! My husband and I are from Cleveland, Georgia and were looking for an outdoor resort/venue with a beautiful ocean/beach view and this place exceded all our expectations. It was truly a magical resort to get married at.
We worked with Laurie and Kate for 4-5 months. They were amazing and so helpful. They answered all of my questions and were so accommodating. They were so welcoming and made us feel like home.
Isla Bella has the friendliest staff and the BEST FOOD EVER! All of my family had the best time. We still talk about our big day almost every day. We will definitely be making our way down south to Isla Bella again soon. 💙

Isla Bella was the venue of our dreams! The team who helped us plan our wedding ceremony and reception were always there to answer questions regarding the details. They also gave suggestions to make our day perfect! It was easy to work with them for such a special event. The beautiful scenery by the dock and the ocean is breathtaking and I would recommend others to choose Isla Bella for their wedding. -

Isla Bella is truly a special place to get married. As avid vacationers in Marathon, FL, we saw Isla Bella by boat before we were engaged and knew we had to look there when the time came. We booked our wedding at Isla Bella in April 2019 for October 10, 2020 and the resort did not open until June 2019. With the resort just opening, the first six months of working with the venue were pretty rocky. However, the resort figured it out quickly and the last 10 months of working with the resort have been amazing! The staff at the resort have been outstanding and make sure all your needs are taken care of. I could not recommend this resort more. The grounds are exceptional and make it possible for you to have a private outdoor ceremony and cocktail hour while not feeling like you are in the midst of resort guests. The ballroom is also bright and clean for the reception. Isla Bella has the luxury of a destination wedding but you're still in the United States. There is no other resort like it in the Florida Keys. Look no further - you have found your wedding venue! -

Perfect wedding!
We had a wedding planned in Jamaica but had to cancel due to COVID. We decided to change it to the keys and planned our wedding at the Isla Bella Resort in 1.5 months. Kate and Laurie were amazing in assisting us with all of our needs! We highly recommend getting married here! -

Absolute perfection
Isla Bella went far beyond what my husband and I had envisioned for our special day, especially during times of such crisis (COVID-19). We had previously had 2 wedding dates set for Key West, and due to the pandemic we had no choice but to move our location and venue to Marathon. We will forever say that was the best thing to have happen, as we had the most beautiful and seamless wedding weekend thanks to the team at Isla Bella. Laurie Lupton & Kate Kuchinga in particular were so very easy and always helpful in our wedding planning process. We had some very negative and awful experiences with our past venue and vendors, so to be able to work with such an amazing resort with the friendliest staff, we are forever grateful. My husband and I cannot wait to continue visiting Isla Bella for years to come!!! You WILL not go wrong with choosing Isla Bella for your special day. The most breathtaking resort and venue to share with family & friends! ❤️ -

Breathtaking resort with world class staff
My wife and I got married at Isla Bella Beach Resort this October. Our experience was hands down, a once in a lifetime event. If we could rate higher than a 10/10 we most definitely would! The staff at the resort were phenomenal and as soon as we arrived at the resort we were treated like royalty. The Event Director, Isabel did an outstanding job with her team and made sure every last detail was taken care of. The restaurant as well was exceptional and service was the absolute highest of quality. The resort itself is insanely pristine and received wide praise from all the guests in attendance. We also both felt that the manager of the hotel was extremely communicative, very organized and made us feel at home so we had no stress on our entire wedding trip. If you're looking to have a wedding, vacation getaway or just escape for a few nights, this resort will blow you away with it's beauty, attention to detail and sensational staff. We could not recommend Isla Bella Beach Resort any higher and it will always hold a special place in our hearts. -B&K -

Isla Bella's Pelican Point is SUCH a dreamy location for a beachy micro-wedding. We were overwhelmed by the views and the vendors! Music, flowers, wedding planner, catering, were all extremely professional and allowed for the entire day to move along so smoothly!
We decided to plan our micro-wedding quickly and did not have time to visit the venue. Because of this I relied on email and phone calls to follow up and confirm payment which were usually delayed. I understand that they have weddings here every weekend so I never felt concerned, however some of our guests who were booking in on our room block did say that it took awhile for Isla Bella to get back to them at times. Accounting also delayed process of payments which seemed like a fluke thing and they did acknowledge the mistake.
Overall, our stay was FANTASTIC and once we were there any guest who did not stay at Isla Bella wished they had! :)
Our Wedding day exceeded ALL expectations and will be forever remembered as the HAPPIEST weekend of our lives!! THANK YOU!! -
