The Bilmar came to our rescue when our original venue cancelled on us just 5 weeks before our wedding. Due to the short notice, we booked the Bilmar sight-unseen. Tara and the entire staff at the Bilmar was absolutely remarkable with scheduling, communicating, and planning our wedding on such short notice, as well as easing our nerves. From ceremony space, to reception/catering, guest rooms and beyond, the experience from start to finish was seamless and unforgettable. We also had our rehearsal dinner onsite at the Bilmar, at Sloppy Joe's which was delicious. There are so many options to choose from and so much included in their wedding packages. The Bilmar aims to please and went above any beyond for us and our guests. I would recommend to anyone!

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

Bilmar Beach Resort turned what could have been a disaster into the best blessing in disguise. My original venue cancelled on us less then 3 months before the wedding. My DJ recommended I check with Bilmar Beach Resort and they thankfully were available! From the first call with Tara throughout the entire process and wedding I couldn’t have been more pleased with everything. The location was beautiful, the staff was amazing and everything was absolutely perfect!

I worked with Tara and Alyssa who helped with my wedding planning and day of coordination! They were so amazing and helpful in making our wedding day the best day of our lives. Our wedding had a laid back beach vibe but was so classy at the same time. I am so thankful for our experience and I highly recommend the Bilmar for your wedding!

We were married here in November 2020 and would recommend it to anyone getting married in the Treasure Island area! We are from Pennsylvania and toured 4 venues in St. Pete and Anna Maria Island, but as soon as we stopped at the Bilmar we knew it was the one. Tara and Julie were so incredibly helpful. Planning from far away I was nervous about the communication - but they were both so responsive and made me feel 100% comfortable. I never had an email go unanswered, and I truly cannot thank them both enough! We booked a penthouse and then another last minute (thank you Julie and front desk staff) so both parties would have a big room to get ready in and I'd highly suggest it.  We did have a small hiccup/communication mishap with welcome gift bags not being passed out to our guests, but the front desk staff fixed it by delivering them to each room. Alyssa was our day of coordinator, she ran everything perfectly! The wedding itself was exactly what we envisioned and more for our we... Read moredding day. We upgraded to water's edge for the ceremony as we wanted the beach background photos and to minimize the number of people walking through the background/pictures and would definitely recommend it. And the indoor/outdoor patio right on the beach is exactly what we wanted for the reception - the perfect beach vibe and having access to an air-conditioned room to cool down while grabbing a drink. We cannot say enough great things about the venue and staff & cannot wait to visit in the future!!

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!
