If you're looking for a venue that exhibits warmth and beauty in an upscale yet friendly environment, the Resort at Longboat Key Club is the perfect place. We are wedding photographers (Fallbrook Photography) and we had the pleasure of shooting one of our recent weddings at the Harbourside ballroom this month. Tatyana and Ethan, a gorgeous and vibrant couple, tied the knot in style on the beautiful courtyard at the Moorings followed by a cocktail hour and reception in the Harbourside Ballroom. As always the staff were so welcoming to the couple, guests, and vendors, special thanks to Ayla (the event sales manager)
During our groups photos with the bride and her girls, a staff member offered the bridal party fresh mimosas. The girls were ecstatic and so were we; mimosas always create a relaxing environment!

The room was more like an apartment and had everything you could possibly need...including a washer and dryer off the full kitchen. It had a small but full refrigerator - it even had an ice maker in it! I absolutely loved this place -- it was the best place on the beach I've ever stayed in! The service was wonderful too. I didn't want...
Read moreThis is such a beautiful marina! So accommodating and easy to use. Kasey in the office was so helpful and answering my questions and helping get scheduled. The dockhands are knowledgeable and kind, and patient. We needed ice and they even brought it to the boat for us. The ONLY suggestion I have to make to improve this marina, would to label the docks so it can be seen from the water at the T-head stating what dock it is, ie “A, B, C,” etc. It was a quick drive to Longboat Key Resort which is breathtaking. The grounds are so clean at the marina and...
