    Had an amazing reception

    We did our wedding at a church and our reception at Tradewinds.

    Pros:
    -The cocktail hour was beautiful overlooking the beach during sunset and the appetizers were beautifully displayed
    -The staff did a great job making sure that my husband and I had food and drinks consistently throughout the night
    -The recommended vendors list provided vendors that frequently work together which simplified things
    -The guests had a great time and enjoyed the beach cabanas, water slide, pedal boats, and weather
    -Hannah and Jim were responsive throughout the planning process and answered the many questions I had in a timely manner
    -The pavilion looked beautiful after paying for uplighting and canopy lighting

    Cons:
    -I did feel like I was being nickel and dimed a lot of the time. They wouldn't hand out our welcome bags and wanted to charge $5 per bag to deliver them to our guests who were paying a lot of money to stay at the hotel. They also increased the service fee from the time I signed the contract to the wedding and said that was allowed because the contract said "currently 24%."
    -They won't guarantee any specific spaces for your event. I was told verbally that I would have certain spaces and that it "shouldn't be an issue" but was told a couple weeks before the wedding that they could no longer guarantee my cocktail hour space. Luckily they changed that 2 days before the wedding and it was able to go back to the original plan, but it was very stressful because I had pictured a certain thing and had that information on my invitations, and the other options were very different.
    -Hannah was our main point of contact and told us she was pregnant when she was about to deliver 3 weeks before the wedding. The wedding was seemingly handed over without a meeting or much information to Jim a couple weeks before the wedding. He made a comment that our file was lacking in information after a year of planning. Luckily my coordinator stepped in for us and filled in the gaps for him but that was added stress.
    -It is an old hotel, so there are a lot of smaller rooms and double beds and old slow elevators and corny things like mini golf and pirate ships but if you dress it up right you can still have a classy event

    So beautiful


    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.

    The Tradewinds made my wedding dreams come true

    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.

    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!

    Venue changed terms of contract and refused to work with us on a postponement

    We very careful with the language in your contract. The venue changed the terms of the contract and then refused to help us postpone my daugther's wedding due our own covid concerns.

    Dream beach wedding!

    From the start of planning my daughters dream beach wedding everyone at the TradeWinds was AMAZING!! Jim, was so helpful and was quick to answer any question we had. He was on hand day of the wedding to make sure everything ran smoothly. Joey at the front desk made checking in a breeze. Dominic and Monte were on site to help us unload our luggage and transport all of our wedding boxes to our rooms. TRADEWINDS STAFF IS AMAZING!!!

    Phenomenal!!

    There are not enough good things I can say about this venue and all of the staff! This was destination for us (from Pittsburgh), so the constant/timely communication was really important to us - this was the factor that made TradeWinds stand apart from other that we had looked at. Maria Slater was our contact and she was so professional and prompt with the millions of questions we bombarded her with. She (and our planner from Driftwood) made the planning as stress free as it could be from over a thousand miles away! They worked together seamlessly. We came down early for our tasting and met the Chef, we felt so taken care of and special. Not to mention the food was incredible! Cut to our special weekend - the resort is amazing! We had so many family members and friends around utilizing all the bars, restaurants, pools and cabanas - there was something for everyone! The day went off without a hitch and Maria and her staff were only a text away for anything we needed. We got married on the South Beach, with the reception immediately following on the South Lawn. It was perfect. We also put on a farewell brunch for the guests (SeaBreeze Deck) that was so lovely and wonderfully staffed. Nearly every wedding guest approached us throughout the course of the weekend saying this was “the best food they've ever had a wedding”. They all want to re-do their weddings to destination! This is the best memory to have of our special day! Even if you are local to the area, we cannot recommend this place highly enough. It was exactly what we were hoping for, and then some! We are planning to come down for future anniversaries!

    Excellent!!

    Maria by far is one of the best people we’ve ever met! Her responsiveness to email, professionalism, kindness and friendliness made the wedding planning process easy!!! We absolutely LOVED everything about our stay, experience and of course wedding day! Thank you for giving us a day we will never forget and truly loved!

    Beautiful Destination Beach Wedding

    Starting out our wedding planning we knew we would have to have a destination wedding with both families living in different states, and being in the middle of a move out to Washington State. Let me say how lucky were we to have found the Tradewinds! My husband and I love the beach so FL was our plan from the beginning, and with St Pete being close to the Tampa airport it was very easy for guests to book flights and arrive with ease.
    Throughout the planning process we dealt with Maria, who is an absolute gem! She was beyond accommodating, was very prompt answering emails and calls, and was always there with back up plans and suggestions when we hit some bumps in the road.
    The resort itself is beautiful, with a fantastic and spacious beach, multiple (delicious) restaurants and bars on property, pools, and endless other activities. If you happen to decide to venture outside of the resort it is located on a great strip that includes countless other activities, restaurants, and bars.
    We decided to have our ceremony on the South Beach, with a cocktail hour in the courtyard ( which was moved earlier in the day to a covered portico because of potential rain) and our reception in their large “Pavilion” which is an enclosed air conditioned tent. We LOVED all of the different sites, and our guests did as well! They were spotless, comfortable, and looked great in pictures!
    We also loved that our guests (120 of them!) could chose to book through the resort, or someplace nearby!
    Overall we absolutely loved the TW resorts, they were beautiful, the staff were helpful and kind, and our guests all had an amazing time! I would confidently recommend them to anyone planning a long distance wedding!

    Beyond amazing!

    WOW!!! From the very beginning Julie was AMAZING! She answered every single question I had thoroughly and in a timely manner. I felt like I had known her my whole life. I cannot say enough good things about Julie and Tradewinds. After taking quite a risk and putting a deposit on a venue that we had never even visited (we are from Michigan) we finally visited and instantly knew that we had made the right decision. EVERYONE at Tradewinds was amazingly kind and welcoming on our first visit. We made a second visit a couple months before our wedding and we were even more impressed (I didn't think that was possible) with the kindness and hospitality that was shown. Tradewinds has SO much to offer. Fast forward to wedding week...we not only had a lot family and friends there for the week, but also lots of kids and even more importantly a child with autism who had the time of his life and was in a safe and inclusive environment. Every single guest was blown away not only by how kind and helpful everyone was, but also by how much there was to do right at Tradewinds! We had AMAZING weather the entire trip...except for wedding day (yikes)! Julie not only kept me updated throughout the day (without freaking me out) but also had the entire wedding moved from the beach (my idea because of awful weather) into the most beautiful space (the Pavilion) without error in 30 minutes notice. I had no clue what I would be walking into...but to say I was blown away is an understatement! I wish we could relive our wedding day over and over...it was beyond perfect thanks to Julie & Tradewinds!

    Dream Wedding

    We got married Oct 2018. Weather was perfect. Staying at the resort it easy to connect with out of town guests and get ready. The hotel made the day feel all about us and was flexible and accommodating. Guests raved about the food, beach wedding was breathtaking and months later people are still telling us how epic everything was at our wedding. As a bride, I felt no stress knowing I was in good hands at this Venue. The venue has a preferred optional list of vendorss like DJ (Joe with Driftwoods) and photographer (Val Ritter) that are amazing! ❤️ 👰🏼 🎩

    Beautiful Resort

    TradeWinds Island Grand is the most beautiful spot on the gulf. Ladies - you will not be disappointed getting married on this beach. White sand, friendly staff, and I swear there is something in the air at the resort that makes it smell so good there! There is truly something for everyone to do too. Inflatable slides, kids clubs, paddle boating and bonfires. I was so happy that this resort was able to accommodate all of my guests. It was just so easy to manage and being from out of town, I was nervous that it wouldn’t be. Communication was easy and all was just taken care of upon arrival. I was a little sad that the resort was going to charge us $5 per bag to deliver our hotel welcome bags to our guests. We just decided to deliver them ourselves and it was no big deal. If I could do it all over, I wouldn’t change a thing!

    We recently held my son's wedding at the Tradewinds. Julie Manes the Wedding Sales Manger did an awesome job taking care of us. We can't thank Julie and her team enough for making our son's day truly amazing. They went far beyond my expectations and provided excellent professionalism. Tradewinds staff kept everything running smoothly. The guests all stated that they had a wonderful time! Everyone at Tradewinds did their best to make us feel special, from Greg the bellhop who helped us with the wedding decor, to Audrey the housekeeper who made sure we had everything we needed. Tilda and the wait staff did an excellent job, even going above and beyond to make sure everyone had what they needed. Thank you so much for all your team did!

    My wife and I chose the Tradewinds for our venue based on one phone conversation with Maria. After Maria told us all of the activities there were available for our guests at the resort, we knew this place was the perfect location for a destination wedding.
    Honestly, I could not recommend Maria and her team at the Tradewinds more for any bride. She always made me feel like I was her #1 priority and no question I asked was silly or irrelevant. She put me at ease for MONTHS over small and large details. The planning process was smooth and the lead up made the experience a joy to plan for an out of town bride.
    We stayed at the Tradewinds for a few days leading up to the wedding and the entire staff was just AMAZING to our entire wedding party. No request went unheard and we were treated top notch. Our room was a beautiful balcony room with a suite living room (THIS MADE OUR DAY OF GET READY PROCESS AMAZING!) and we had so much space.
    The food at the reception was outstanding and the chef went out of his way to make sure every one was satisfied. Our guests RAVED about the steak we served. The servers/bartenders/attendants were all amazing and the meals came out hot and on time. The servers even made sure my wife and I were eating and brought our leftovers directly to our room fridge so we could finish our dinners after the wedding.
    One of the highlights of our day was a surprise Maria had planned for us during cocktail hour. Maria is a huge Disney person like my wife and myself and she bought a Mickey stencil (it said Love) to have the chefs carve a fruit display. It was so thoughtful and personal - we truly loved every moment of working with her. We also used Driftwood Events as our planner (associated with hotel) and I will review their top-notch 100% amazing service too! All in all, we could not have been happier with our wedding at the TW.

    Excellent support from the Tradewinds team! Everyone was very professional and helpful. Shout out to Julie and Maria for all their help with the planning and meetings prior to the wedding. Top notch staff during the reception and rehearsal dinner! We had the rehearsal dinner at Bermuda's and they were excellent! Our guests are still raving about the food! Highly recommend for any couple looking for a beautiful venue on the beach.

    We chose the TradeWinds Island Grand Resort for my daughter's wedding and we are so glad we did!
    Absolutely everyone we dealt with, from the managers to the chef, were very accommodating, flexible and extremely nice people .
    Julie Manes the wedding sales manager was outstanding! She literally would respond to most of my emails within minutes!
    She was so helpful with booking all of the rooms for our guests and, even though we had amazing wedding planners with Driftwood Wedding and Events, I still felt like Julie was a huge part of helping me make decisions every step of the way. The food tasting was a highlight of the whole planning process. It was over-the-top amazing and, as promised, was just as delicious and hot at the reception.
    The property at the TradeWinds is unbelievable for hosting a wedding or any event where people come from all over or just from the other side of town. Our guests were able to enjoy a whole weekend of fun without even having to leave the property. Several people said it was the best wedding they had ever been to!
    I would highly recommend the TradeWinds and would give them more than 5 stars if possible!!

    I recently had my destination wedding & honeymoon here! Everything & everyone were beyond amazing! Julie made it so easy planning a wedding from half way across the country! Our wedding package came with wedding coordinating services from Exquisite Events, Casey was great!!! Once we got there everyone felt at home (only better!) Bob was great by the pool, checking on us to make sure we were enjoying ourselves! I could not have asked for anything more perfect! Food & drinks were great everywhere within the Island Grand and down at the Outpost! My guests loved the resort & were very impressed! My family had a blast and so did we! We will be back soon!!! If you are in search of a wedding venue or a great vacation, LOOK NO FURTHER!

    Could not have asked for a more beautiful wedding! Everything was perfect and exactly how I imagined! Maria is fantastic and so helpful. She always answered all of our questions and in a very quick manner. Being that it was a destination wedding it was great to have someone at the resort that was so helpful and all around great! Everything was absolutely amazing. Thank you for all that you did for us Maria!

    We had our cocktail hour and reception at the TradeWinds last month and it was absolutely amazing! We were so pleased with how everything turned out. The cocktail hour was outside on the lawn with a view of the beach and the sunset, which was perfect. Maria in particular was incredibly helpful and patient with my countless questions in the months preceding the wedding and I can't thank her enough. Our guests raved at the food afterwards, many commenting that it was the best meal they have had at a wedding. We were even able to meet with the head chef Matthew O. beforehand and had a private consultation with him where he listened to our requests. Everyone from the wait staff, valets, and the assigned day of coordinator were so great to work with. I would definitely recommend them for your upcoming wedding.

    Overall, my husband and I loved the Tradewinds and wouldn't choose another venue even if we could go back. :) We had our dream wedding there and loved it. And Julie was great to work with from start to finish. She helped a lot with getting everything the way we wanted. And not living in the area, they were great with recommending local vendors to use. The only reason I wouldn't rate all 5 stars is they do tend to nickle and dime you and aren't as flexible with rates and charges. But that might be a lot of vendors once you mention the word "wedding" so who knows. ;) For example, we tried to negotiate a room block for our guests because the price/discount we were given was outrageous but they wouldn't budge saying they would fill up the rooms anyways. Ultimately, we booked a room block elsewhere for our guests to stay at. That would be my one complaint since we were spending so much money there, I'd think they would want to give us a better deal to retain the business. But, all of our guests raved over how good the food was and how nice the resort was. We also had fun with all of the resort activities! We loved having our wedding there and our guests and family all loved it too. We will return for anniversaries too! :-)

    We celebrated our son's recent marriage with a fabulous party weekend a the Tradewinds Resort. The resort offers a wide variety of venues restaurants, bars, inside and outside overlooking the beautiful beach setting. The Breck Deck South was just perfect for our Sunset Cocktails, Buffet Dinner and Dancing. The general staff was excellent from the moment we arrived on Friday--friendly, welcoming and attentive. But most of all we give kudos to Julie Manes who coordinated accommodations, gift bags, menus etc. etc. Our wish was her command and she responded to all of our requests cheerfully and competently. She was an absolute delight to work with. Our chef, servers, with Jennifer at the helm at the event had everything running smoothly and our guests were complementary about the food and drink. Our
    Farewell Breakfast at Bermudas Restaurant was great. Luann our server made sure we were all well taken care of and the food was delicious and everyone especially enjoyed those omelets! We highly recommend this venue not only for weddings but also for special family events which include children/grandchildren as there are so many activities and amenities for the little ones. Thank You All for making our celebration so special!










    was delicious and everyone loved the omelets

    The Tradewinds and everyone working there made my wedding an absolute dream come true. Julie and Maria were absolutely fantastic to work with and took care of everything. They were always very quick to answer any questions and went above and beyond for special requests my groom and I had. Food was amazing, venue was beautiful, and they were very accommodating--they even extended my reception when it got delayed due to rain. They treat you as if this was a wedding in their own family and want everything to be perfect.

    The company they use for day of coordination, Exquisite Events, was fantastic as well. Danielle was there every step of the day to answer questions, troubleshoot problems and ensure I was not stressed at all.

    I recommend this place 200%.

    Our daughter got married on the Breck Deck and had her reception in the Pavillion at the TW on April 30th this year. We cannot express how pleased we were with everything, top to bottom, start to finish! Julie Manes was amazing! She responded to every question almost immediately and always with a cheerful attitude. Her responsiveness made the wedding planning process so much easier. Chloe, with Exquisite Events, was also fantastic and took care of coordinating with all of our vendors (florist, photographers, DJ, etc) before and during the wedding/reception which allowed us and our daughter to enjoy the day stress-free.
    The Breck Deck was fantastic for the ceremony, plenty of space and beautiful backdrop of the beach without having to be "on the sand". The Pavillion was the perfect place for the reception. Huge space (plenty of room for seating, bars, DJ, photo booth), fantastic up-lighting and large dance floor made for a beautiful and fun reception. The rehearsal dinner was also held on the Breck Deck which turned out great with a gorgeous sunset. We also held a "Farewell Breakfast" on the South Lawn the morning after the reception which was a hit with everyone. Again, a beautiful setting.
    In terms of food for all of the events (rehearsal, reception, farewell breakfast).....it was outstanding!! I cannot say enough great things about every dish we were served! The chef was extremely flexible and was able to accommodate some dietary restrictions and special requests with no problem. For the rehearsal dinner we had the hors d'oeuvres reception with pork loin carving station and pasta bar. For the wedding reception we chose the plated dinner with a choice of filet mignon, chicken, sea bass or vegetarian. We requested all steaks be prepared medium rare....and they were! The sea bass was incredible, cooked perfect. The guests raved about everything. For the farewell breakfast, they had a huge spread of eggs, bacon, potatoes, smoked salmon, pastries....it was perfect!
