Great access to beach and water from hotel. Had an excellent sunset wedding. The weather was perfect for November wedding. Attention to detail. Good food. Very accommodating. Schulte 11/29/2019 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

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!

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!

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 p... Read morerocess 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!!!

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!

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!

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! ... Read more 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!

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.

My experience at the Bilmar was superb! The staff there was amazing! So nice and helpful. Made our stay there on 11/29/19 so much fun! The romantic atmosphere was so relaxing!

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!

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!

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.

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. 😊
