We have nothing but high praises for MBOR, which was the most incredible venue for our wedding. We knew we picked a great venue when we started booking our vendors and they told us that this was their favorite venue to work at. On top of a beautiful venue that has it all, the wedding coordinator Galina deserves the most praise. She single handedly coordinated our wedding from start to finish and was there for us every step of the way. She is extremely detail oriented and made the entire experience so seamless and easy for us. We were so happy with how the day turned out and we couldn't have imagined having our wedding anywhere else. You wont regret it!Sale e Pepe's reply:

We are pleased to know that you and Camil had your dream wedding and thank you for letting us be a part of it.
It was pleasure and fun working with you and thank you once again for selecting Sale e Pepe for your beautiful wedding.
Wishing you much happiness always!
Warmly,

Mary Beth and Sale e Pepe was absolutely out of this world. After looking at different venues in the area, we came to the conclusion that this was the perfect place for our wedding. We were treated so wonderfully by all the staff, and Mary Beth was nothing but accommodating with us and our wedding planner. This was a destination wedding, so she went out of her way to coordinate with our wedding planner and show her the space days before the wedding so that everything was perfect. The food was magnificent and we have had nothing but amazing feedback from everyone that attended. We cannot emphasize enough how wonderful both the venue and wedding coordinator are. This was the perfect spot for an unforgettable day. -

We had our wedding here on 12/10/22 and the entire Sale E Pepe team was amazing to work with! The terrace view is spectacular and the beach is beautiful. As soon as we saw this venue we knew this was it! The food on our wedding night was delicious - a lot of our guests have complimented that it was the best wedding food they've ever had. The entire staff and service team was very professional and attentive to detail. We had our ceremony and cocktail hour on the beach and our reception on the terrace. The beach bar at that time was still damaged from the hurricane but the Sale E Pepe staff didn't skip a beat - drinks were prepared at the boardwalk bar and our guests had a wonderful time taking in the breathtaking sunset on the beach. We were so relaxed on our wedding day and we fully trusted the entire team at Sale E Pepe. We worked with Galina planning our wedding and she coordinated on our wedding day - our wedding day was during her transition to a new job, Galina is incredible and made our day effortless and run very smoothly. Mary Beth is the new coordinator and she seems like a joy to work with. A lot of our guests also stayed at Marco Beach Ocean Resort and since MBOR had switched to Vacasa (3rd party from originally full service hotel), they still had someone at the check in desk, valet, and beach chairs available for guests - all a pleasant surprise. I would highly recommend this venue, our families keep referring to our time here as the best week of our lives. -

Sale e Pepe was a dream wedding venue. The terrace is absolutely stunning any time of day, along with the property and beach. Working with the venue coordinator, Galina, was easy and fantastic. She was very communicative and always responded to my (probably crazy) emails. Even the smallest question was answered with the most detail. Galina is a true rockstar.
The food was unbelievable and our guests are still raving about it. The service was phenomenal, from servers to bartenders. The event manager Damir was so kind, courteous, and checked in with my husband and I throughout the night to make sure we were doing okay.
There isn’t a single bad thing I could say about the venue, service, or people involved in making it all come together. Sale e Pepe will forever hold a special place in my heart. -

Kelly W. Sent on 01/25/2023The BEST Wedding Venue in SWFlorida
We were supposed to get married at this venue on 10/8/2022 and had to postpone due to Hurricane Ian. We rescheduled our wedding for 1/15/2023 and it was the best decision of our lives! Not only is the venue itself stunning and directly located on Marco Island's beautiful white sand beach, but the venue staff went above and beyond all expectations. Our guests were blown away by the service, but most importantly, their meals. We opted for the Grouper and American Wagyu, both were cooked to perfect for every single guest. The flow of the entire wedding was flawless and the communication leading up to the wedding was amazing. If you are considering a venue in Southwest Florida, look no further. Sale E Pepe at Marco Beach Ocean Resort is hands down the best vendor we could have chosen. Added plus - they have the most incredible indoor lounge that we used for our after party to keep the night going! -

Can't say enough about Galina at MBOR, she is amazing. From the first contact to the followup after our daughters wedding Galina is in contact with you and wants to know that everything is perfect. We are had our daughters wedding here as a destination wedding and having Galina eased our anxiety and stress in all the planning. Galina is well organized has a great list of vendors to work with. On top of that Sale e Pepe staff and managers were wonderful, best team on the island. We are so happy to have chosen the Marco Ocean Beach Resort as our place for our daughters destination wedding, no second thoughts at all...Galina and Sale e Pepe are Top Notch!!!!!!Sale e Pepe's reply:

Galina seamlessly orchestrated the best day of our lives.
Our wedding at MBOR was nothing short of an ABSOLUTE dream. Words don't even do our incredible experience justice—but we will give it a shot! Behind every remarkable event is an even more remarkable team. One of the best days of our lives surpassed perfection & exceeded even our highest expectations. We owe a HUGE thank you to not only our insanely talented vendors, but our Wedding Coordinator, Galina. A visionary, team leader, & passionate soul — Galina seamlessly orchestrated the best day of our lives. Her kindness, intuition, & communication is PREMIER. We couldn't be more grateful to have been given the opportunity to work with someone so insanely talented. Thank you, from the bottom of our hearts, MBOR for the most extraordinary wedding!!Sale e Pepe's reply:

Marco Beach Ocean Resort is truly a one of a kind venue. We just got married here in December of 2021 and to say our wedding was executed seamlessly by the resort and our on-site coordinator, Galina, would be an understatement. Galina is not your typical Events Manager etc. Galina is truly an experienced, helpful, and organized wedding coordinator. Galina began contact with me over a year before our wedding and helped me through all sorts of details and planning items. At my first visit on site with her, she was so well prepared and I left the meeting feeling so confident in our plans. The service from the Sale Pepe staff is unmatched. We had the most wonderful, private tasting for our cocktail hour appetizers, entrees and wine service. The staff at MBOR makes you feel so special no matter where you are in the resort and is so polite and kind. The sunset terrace was my dream ceremony location as we got to be above the beach but not physically on the beach and the Gulf Ballroom is a beautiful room for your reception. Most of our wedding guests stayed on-site and were super pleased with their experience for the weekend. I can not recommend booking this venue enough. My husband and I can't wait to come back next year. -

Marco Beach Ocean Resort exceeded all expectations for our daughter's wedding. Galina, the site coordinator was with us every step of the way. Her professionalism, guidance and patience over the course of 20 months of planning resulted in the most beautiful beach wedding we could have ever imagined. From our Friday night Poolside Reception, to the wedding and the Sunday Brunch her flawless attention to detail combined with outstanding service made our weekend of events go smoothly. You could even say it was magical! -

Perfection.
I just recently got married at MBOR on Dec 5 2021. I literally can not say enough good things. First of all, the venue is stunning. You can not beat the view, the space on the outdoor terrace, the location, and the food!!! The food was unbelievable! The hotel is beautiful and our guests loved staying there! I HAVE to mention Galina who is the wedding planner at MBOR. Galina alone should be a reason to book a wedding at the resort. She was so amazing to work with from start to finish. She is incredibly organized making sure every single detail is accounted for and the timing of everything is on schedule. She is knowledgeable, she knows and works with all of the vendors and she will make sure that your wedding is absolutely perfect. My wedding day would not have been the perfect day that it was without Galina. I also have to mention the entire staff in general at the resort: the reservationists, the staff at the wedding including the waiters and bartenders and banquet manager - ALL of them AMAZING! Just such a gorgeous place to get married and you will work with the best people. I highly highly recommend!! I also want to mention that they only do 1 wedding a day so the place is dedicated to you vs other venues on Marco have multiple weddings a night! You will have the best wedding and the best experience here! -

Everything I could have dreamed of and more!
We had our wedding at MBOR on Friday 12/3/21, and all I can say is it was everything we had dreamed of and more! If you are looking for a venue down here in south Florida I would recommend them 10/10. First off, the location was impeccable. We had our cocktail hour on the beach and dinner and dancing up on the terrace overlooking the Gulf of Mexico. It felt like a dream and everyone couldn’t stop raving about how beautiful and perfect everything was (still to this day!). Second, the food was amazing. It didn’t taste like the traditional wedding food. It was so delicious and they were so accommodating with everything we asked for. Third, the service there is short of none. From the start, Galina was so responsive and helpful throughout the entire time we were planning. She was so responsive and accommodating of all the different questions and changes I threw at her. Finally, the next day, we met everyone out on the beach to relax and have drinks in the sun, and it was the best way to continue our festivities since most of our guests were out of town. Everyone is still talking about it! We could not have asked for a better team or location for our big day! -

Through all of my wedding planning, Galina was completely organized, on schedule & just so quick to always respond and share details with me! Our wedding day could not have gone better & I have Galina to thank for that! With unexpected rain, she immediately rallied the troops & made changes so quickly to make the wedding everything id imagined still! Myself as well as my family and friends were SO completely impressed by it all. I was truly blown away. I understand why she does what she does because she is EXCEPTIONAL. She helped the day come together so beautifully and even helped bustle my dress lol. Galina is so wonderful; I am truly so happy we went with Marco Beach and to have had her on my team. She made my wedding day special. I’m forever grateful !!! -

This resort was a dream come true. This was a destination wedding for us so we were super nervous. The resort came with a wedding coordinator, Galina. Galina is absolutely amazing! Without her we would have never pulled off this destination wedding. She guided us in the right direction and kept us on schedule the whole time. She was very quick to answer any questions I had. I seriously cannot say enough great things about Galina. From the moment we arrived for the wedding week the staff at the resort not only treated my husband and I amazing but all of our family and friends as well. Most of our wedding guests had never been to Marco Island before and now so many want to make it a yearly vacation spot and only want to stay at the MBOR. We would HIGHLY recommend anyone who is looking to get married in Florida to check MBOR out. It was 100000% worth the money. Our wedding guests are STILL talking about how amazing the food was. Lots of people said it was the best wedding they ever attended and the best food at a wedding. We can't wait to have many yearly anniversary trips here! -

My husband and I could not have been happier with our wedding at Marco Beach Ocean Resort. Every single part of our day was incredible thanks to the staff, Galina, and the vendors. Galina, the wedding coordinator for MBOR, was helpful, professional, and responsive. She was on top of so many details from the start of the planning process, all the way until the wedding reception! She was so easy to communicate with throughout the process as well, which was so great since we were planning all the way from Chicago. In addition, the food and the service were amazing! The staff went above and beyond to make every part of our day special. We highly recommend MBOR for a beautiful wedding venue! -

Lauren T. Sent on 07/09/2021Made Our Wedding Dreams Come True!
My husband and I got married in Marco Island on May 29, 2021. When we began the wedding planning process in 2020, we knew we wanted a destination wedding in Marco Island with about 75-100 guests. We were recommended Marco Beach Ocean Resort by many locals and vendors in the area. Immediately following our initial conversation with Lynn & Galina, 2 of their team members, we knew this was the perfect venue for us! We had also heard that other venues on the island are known to host more than 1 wedding per day. We loved that Marco Beach does only 1 wedding per day allowing the focus and attention to be on one couple ensuring all details are executed as planned!
Galina, the on-site Coordinator at Marco Beach, is beyond fabulous! From our initial conversation to the wedding reception, Galina was with us every step of the way. Whenever we had questions or simply needed to provide her with an update regarding the wedding, she would communicate with us almost immediately to ensure we were taken care of. She made planning a wedding in Florida from Indiana an absolute breeze! Galina, the team members, the food, the location, the weather and the views were absolutely incredible! We couldn't have envisioned a more perfect day.
Since our wedding day, guests continue to complement us by letting us know that our wedding was one of the most beautiful/elegant events they have ever attended. We know this is largely due to the views, food and the team at MBOR. Galina and the team at Marco Beach Ocean Resort are the best of the best and will ensure you have the most magical day! -

Words can't even begin to express how amazing this venue is. Our initial wedding was September of 2020, but due to COVID we had to push it back to April 29, 2021. We live in NY so this was a destination wedding. At first we thought it would be complicated to have a destination wedding, especially with COVID, but WOW the venue did an amazing job accommodating. We were able to switch our wedding due to those circumstances without any issues. We cut back our wedding to only immediate family, which was under 20 people, and everyone had an amazing time. The ceremony on the beach was perfect, the reception over looking the beach and water was breathtaking, the food was OUTSTANDING. It was truly a fairytale wedding thanks to the venue and staff. BOOK YOUR VENUE HERE ASAP!
The staff was incredible. We stayed there for an entire week and everyone from valet, to staff walking around the building, to waiters and chefs were so sweet and accommodating. The food is absolutely delicious. All the guest kept raving (and still talking) about how delicious and fresh the food was, and we had the buffet style. Most places are a hit or miss when it comes to wedding food, but this place was like a five star restaurant! We also got the desserts though the venue which were amazing.
Marco Beach Ocean Resort also has a wedding coordinator named Galina that helps with you every detail, and we couldn't have made this happen without out. She responds to emails the same day, usually within hours, sometimes even minutes! The email can be a ton of questions or one simple one, and she was always right on it! She made she every detail was exactly how we wanted it to be, from the ceremony chairs, to the exacting timing of sunset, to making sure the entire event went smoothly. She is amazing, we feel like we are all family!
If you want a venue and staff that is extremely organized and treats you like you two are the top priority and not just a number, pick this place! We officially feel like family at Marco Beach Ocean Resort and can not wait to go back and celebrate our future life events. Highly recommend if your looking for a dream wedding with no stress thanks to the venue and staff. xoxo - Tina & Shaun -

An Absolute Fairy Tale Of a Wedding
I can't say ENOUGH about how amazing our experience was with Galina, the staff, and Marco Beach Ocean Resort itself. My now husband Bruce and I got married this past weekend - April 25th, 2021. We started this entire process back in February of 2020 when we first got engaged. We live in Austin, Texas and wanted a beach wedding. After a looooong search, we decided we really liked the boutique style of Marco Beach Ocean Resort. All of the rooms have a beach view. It's not a "chain" and we liked that as our wedding was going to be a smaller one and we wanted something intimate. We had never even visited MBOR but booked it anyway. From DAY ONE, Galina was on top of her game. She communicated all the time, was extremely organized, super sweet and kind and very professional. We felt like we weren't just another wedding. Like every wedding Galina does is special. We ended up visiting in November and I literally felt like that weekend was our wedding weekend. Everyone was so kind and helpful and thoughtful. We had a taste testing and the chef came out and greeted us and asked how everything was. From that time on, Galina continued to be AMAZING. When you do a wedding from afar, it can be intimidating. I was not worried at all. I knew we were in amazing hands. The weekend of our wedding we created guest bags and the bellmen delivered them to every single room without a hitch. Not ONE thing went wrong - from the ceremony to the the happy hour/hor devours on the beach to the amazing dinner on the terrace to the dancing in the ballroom. It all went off without a single issue. Our guests said it was the most beautiful wedding they had ever been to. I could go on and on, but if you are considering a beach wedding, do not look any further! Galina and MBOR will not disappoint!!! -

Best. Day. Ever.
I’m a Happy MOB!
I hired MBOR for our Daughter’s wedding on
1- 30-21.
I worked with Galina who is exceptionally good at organizing and planning and is someone I very much admire.
All of the staff at MBOR are friendly and professional.
The bellmen work hard AND have a good sense of humor, too. 😊
The Chef put together a FANTASTIC meal for us and our guests. Many compliments on the food.
The setting is as good as it gets on the beach! And, instead of being 1 of 7 events that day (like at other resorts on the beach) you will be the ONLY event of the day.
The planning process you go through with GALINA can be intense and is very detailed but it’s all WORTH IT because your special day goes off without a hitch!
Ours did. Smooth as silk!
The real star of the show at MBOR is GALINA. She is extremely helpful, very kind, professional and sharp. In fact her office is way too small for the BIG job that she has. She works extremely hard and is very detail-oriented and it would be exceptionally hard to replace her as an employee!
The other nice thing she will provide you with is a “preferred vendor” list. I didn’t know most of these vendors but found them to be top notch, reliable, professional and many are people I will hire again.
What a gift!
So many details went in to our daughter’s wedding and it was simply perfect. We are happy and more-than-satisfied parents of the bride!
Thank you MBOR for giving us such great memories!
