MBOR made everything very easy. Galina was great, and the food at Sale e Pepe was wonderful. The whole resort staff were lovely and very accommodating.

If you are looking for a venue that has everything, look no further! They have the beach, amazing hotel/venue staff and Galina! Galina is their onsite wedding coordinator and knows exactly what she is doing. We couldn't have been happier with how are wedding turned out. I would 100 percent recommend MBOR to any couple looking for perfection!

This resort is beautiful and I loved it so much I booked my wedding there. Can’t wait for Nov 2020

I'm not even sure where to start with how AMAZING Marco Beach Ocean Resort was throughout our entire wedding journey. We were recommended the venue from family friends and compared it to other hotels in Marco Island (JW Martiott, Hilton). The thing that stood out the most to us was that Marco Beach only hosts ONE WEDDING PER DAY, rather than the JW which can host as many as 4 or even more. That being said, ALL attention is on YOUR wedding. Choosing Marco Beach as our venue was the BEST decision we made, and it especially was highlighted throughout the pandemic and having to postpone our original wedding date which was in April. Now, onto GALINA, the wedding coordinator as Marco Beach. GALINA IS ALL YOU COULD DREAM FOR IN A WEDDING COORDINATOR. Living in Chicago, and having a destination wedding, I was nervous about the whole planning process and even considered hiring a wedding planner. Galina took all of my nerves away, she KNOWS ALL AND DOES ALL. I can't say enough good things a... Read morebout her!!!! I had no idea booking at Marco Beach how spoiled I would be working with her, so I want to let everyone know that she goes above and beyond any wedding coordinator I've ever heard of. She is SO organized (which I loved because I am very Type A), professional, kind, funny, understanding, patient - the list goes on and on. She is also EXTREMELY RESPONSIVE. Whenever I sent an email, I knew she would respond the same day, even sometimes minutes, after sending. She's a machine and on top of EVERY DETAIL of your day. She knows every single vendor and has a great relationship with them all - which helps tremendously. Galina proactively contacted us before Florida began to shut down, to talk about postponing/considering other options. She had a gut feeling and decided to get ahead of it. I can't stress enough how appreciative we were that she reached out a month ahead of our date, when it really could have been a week or few days. I can't imagine working with anyone better than Galina during a pandemic. She was so patient with our decisions and so understanding how stressful it was. Marco Beach as a whole feels like a family. Everyone is so professional, respectful, friendly - they are always looking for ways to accommodate their guests in the best way. They even made amendments to our contract when we postponed, including a free hour of bar service at our reception - we were NOT expecting that and never inquired about it. They offered it completely on their own. I can't stress how amazing everyone is. If you are getting married in Marco Island, CHOOSE MARCO BEACH. You are in such good hands and will have the most beautiful wedding atmosphere. Our guests are still talking about how beautiful the reception was on the terrace as well as the watching the sunset on the beach during cocktail hour. Again, GALINA IS OUTSTANDING, I owe her so much gratitude and will definitely be keeping in touch with her. She is just that type of person, I can't say enough good things about her. You can't go wrong choosing this venue - we can't wait to go back for anniversaries in the future to re-live our day, it was perfect.

MBOR and Galina were amazing for our wedding on 10/15/20. With Covid postponing our first wedding date, I couldn’t have been happier with how our new date went! Galina and the entire staff were amazing and the day went so perfectly! We never had to think about anything or what to do, they were on top of it all. Galina’s response time and thoroughness with planning and emails was more than we could have asked for and she made the whole process so easy and fun! We are so happy we chose MBOR to help make our weeding dreams come true!!!

Our wedding was 8.14.20 Covid Wedding; Marco Beach Ocean Resort is a beautiful resort, and we had an amazing wedding. Galina was super easy to work with, Galina is very resourceful, Galina was truly fabulous. Every staff member was great. Having a destination wedding there’s was little to no stress. Galina handled everything for us and was on point to the very end. Thank you Galina and staff for making our day so special.

MBOR is the perfect choice for a beachfront wedding in Florida. It is a beautiful resort on a clean beach with an exceptional wedding team. Galina and Lynn were so wonderful to work with while planning our wedding. Galina is very organized, detail oriented, and responsive. She was a huge help throughout the entire planning process! The chef is second to none, and served us some of the best food we have had during our tasting. The on-site sommelier really put our tasting over the top with the wine pairings and insight. Everyone we encountered at the resort was so kind and eager to help. They work with some of the best vendors in the business and everyone they recommended was fantastic. I cannot say enough good things about this venue!

Where to begin with this place, it is so truly magical! I want to begin by thanking Galina, the wedding coordinator on site. Like my husband says, she is a machine! Galina helped us with the planning and timeline of our wedding and she was so meticulous and precise that it made all of the stress of wedding planning fade away. Not only that, but she is an ABSOLUTE sweetheart! So kind and eager to help. Galina, we truly cannot thank you enough, our wedding was beyond our wildest dreams and we owe big part of that to you. Now, the service at MBOR is out of this world. The resort made us feel so special during our entire stay, leaving us champagne bottles, chocolates, complementary mimosas, and being so kind and attentive of our every need. From the valet to the servers, banquet captain, head chef, concierge I mean EVERYBODY was so thoughtful and nice!! To all the staff at MBOR we want to give you the biggest thank you, you made our day PERFECT from every angle! Thank you, thank yo... Read moreu, thank you!!

Best venue to stay at and get married at in Marco Island, Florida! I was a bride planning her wedding from Chicago so it was very nerve reckoning being the control freak that I am to plan from far away. In came Galina! She was INCREDIBLE! Galina, my Mother and I became fast friends. She was consistent in her follow up, outlined everything for us as we were planning from afar and gave great suggestions regarding vendors. She was also so organized the month leading up to the wedding. I never once worried about a thing because Galina has such an amazing repour with vendors that they too trust in her. No timeline was incorrect, everything was so meticulously planned it was incredible. Our families & guests even loved Galina, she was there to ensure that everything went smoothly the day of the wedding and even sent Champagne and chocolates to our room and my parents’ room. She was so sweet, kind, funny, and made me feel like it was a family member helping us out throughout the w... Read moreay. As for the staff at the Marco Beach Ocean Resort.... You are working with simply the best!! Customer service is constantly at the forefront of this resort and venue. Everyone from housekeeping staff (Shout out to our girl Patrica, who left cute hearts & swans made out of towels on our bed,) Carmichael at the pool bar and banquet staff at the wedding reception. In addition, the wait staff, Somolier, Chef, everyone is so highly professional and well trained to make sure that there is no detail left undone and that you have everything you need. I would highly recommend this venue and would be happy to add any additional color or answer any questions. My husband and I love this resort and can't wait to come back to visit for our honeymoon! Thank you MBOR for making our wedding weekend the most special ever! Our guests are still talking about it.

Marco Beach Ocean Resort was the perfect venue for our wedding! We could not have been happier! Our guests loved the beach ceremony and cocktail hour and we loved dancing the night away outside on the Terrace. The food and service are exceptional. One of the highlights of choosing MBOR is getting to work with Galina, MBOR's onsite events coordinator. She helps you pull together the wedding of your dreams and makes all of the details flow together seamlessly. INCREDIBLE venue and team of people here at the Marco Beach Ocean. Just wish I could do it again each year... :)

MBOR was the perfect wedding location for our October wedding. We chose to have our wedding on the terrace. The view from the terrace is amazing. This location is very much experience for weddings. Galina and Lynn made our vision come to life and of course not without the wonderful employees. All are the best! No words can express the professionalism and the guidance. They go out of their way to make sure you have the perfect day and all the planning was well worth it. The rooms are comfortable and updated with great views from the balcony. The reception food was terrific!!!! We received a lot of great comments regarding the food. Hats off to the chef and staff!!! I would HIGHLY recommend having a wedding at MBOR!!!

We hosted our wedding at Marco Beach Ocean Resort and besides spending the rest of my life with my husband, it was the best decision that I've made yet! Not only was the setting SO BEAUTIFUL but everyone at the resort was so friendly and accommodating. From the bellmen to the coordinator, every interaction that we had was easy and made us feel so special. My favorite thing about the resort is that they only host one wedding per day, so, it really is all about you. This is different from many other options in the area and for us made a huge difference. Galina, the coordinator, is the BEST. She is extremely organized and responsive. She kept our day running on time and smoothly. We experienced this ourselves, but all other vendors that we worked with also commented on how Galina is the best in the area. Typically when you put the word bridal in front of anything the prices increase by an astronomical amount, but at MBOR we did not feel nickle and dimed for a single thing. The... Read morey were happy to accommodate all special requests that we had and were not up-charged for any of them. They really were a pleasure to work with and there is not anything that I would change about hosting our wedding there!

Booking it for our anniversary

Book your wedding at Marco Beach Ocean Resort! You, your spouse, family and friends won't regret it! I began looking for a venue in September 2018 and thankfully stumbled upon Marco Beach Ocean Resort after a quick google search. Being native New Yorkers, we wanted something very different than the typical NY wedding hall with hundreds of guests. MBOR was the perfect fit for what I imagined my wedding to be - destination, classy, elegant, intimate, charming and overlooking the beautiful March Beach & the Gulf. Me and my Husband's first point of contact was the lovely Lynn Alexander (Director of Sales). She was easy to work with, organized and very accommodating. We knew before we even visited the Hotel that it would be our wedding venue. Lynn made us feel at ease over the phone and with her industry experience and expertise she only solidified our wedding vision. Meeting Lynn to see the venue and to sign the contract was just a technicality at that point. After signing the contract, Ly... Read morenn put us in touch with Galina Manovska (Manager of Weddings and Special Events & On-site Wedding coordinator). My Husband and I both work on Wall Street & are in the Investment Banking industry. That being said, very few people impress us. Well, Galina fit the bill for everything we would expect from a Wedding Venue Professional and more! Galina is beyond organized, detailed, responsive and of course friendly and easy to work with. She covers every detail of wedding planning with checklists, diagrams and contracts. As most brides are new to wedding planning, Galina leads you in the right direction and ensures no stone is left unturned. Being an out-of-state bride, post meeting Lynn in Oct 2018 I wasn't able to fly down to FL again until my wedding week - April 2019. However, Galina stayed on top of everything and made meeting her the day before my wedding easy. I felt like I knew her for years before I met her! She was just lovely in person and I knew my wedding day would go perfectly under her watch (she runs a tight ship!). To give you some background on our event- my wedding was 55 guests and we decided to get married on the Sunset Terrace (gorgeous location overlooking the beach), cocktail hour indoors in the Toulouse Lounge, dinner reception on the Sunset Terrace and dancing/cake cutting in the ballroom. Lynn and Galina had both provided us with lists of suggested vendors to use (i.e. DJ, lighting, lounge furniture rentals, hair, makeup, photography, videography). However, we were not obligated to use their vendors as long as the vendor you chose had their required paperwork (i.e. insurance etc). Just know that the vendors on their list are the best of Marco Island/Naples! I went with all vendors, with the exception of one. I couldn't have been happier with Galina and Lynn's suggestions. MBOR has 98 suites in total (mix of one & two bedrooms), for our wedding our guests booked a total of 20 one-bedroom suites (majority staying 2-3 nights). Each room was like new with renovations and all having balconies overlooking either the beach, pool, or garden, and all had mini kitchens & keurig machines with complimentary pods! Guests were floored with the beautiful rooms and knew we weren't being frivolous with our hotel choice. Everyone complimented the rooms and were happy they got what they paid for. MBOR even offers turn down service for their pull out couches. And if you have kids, if requested - they will do a turtle turn-down and place mini stuffed turtles on the pull out couch with a background on Marco Island turtles. Now on to the MBOR people, from the staff at the front desk to the gentlemen who greet you at valet/the front door & assist with bags to the guys at the beach/pool- everyone was just so nice and accommodating. I felt like true royalty during my wedding weekend, as did my guests. MBOR staff were respectful, so kind and remembered faces. I got lucky that weekend being the only Bride, but MBOR does not double book and only has one wedding per day (unlike some of their competitors who tend to cater more towards large corporations than brides!). Now on to the food & drinks - we ended up doing welcome drinks the night before our wedding, our wedding reception and then a farewell brunch the next day. You definitely get the value for your money! Although MBOR is not cheap, it is well worth it. You will remember the high quality for your lifetime. Guests were without a doubt impressed. The drinks were nicely made and the food was superb! For the wedding reception multiple guests commented how the wine was wine bar quality and the steak was steakhouse quality. Surprisingly enough, I found time to eat the day of my wedding - home-made ravioli for the pasta dish we selected (delicious, guests raved about it!) and I chose to have the steak, which could be cut with a butter knife! MBOR was also not cheap on drinks, our guests left full and with a nice buzz (and perhaps some/many were happily drunk). Galina will introduce you to the banquet manager ahead of your ceremony so you know who will be taking over once she leaves...yes Galina has to go home some time :-)...Even the Banquet manager was super sweet and accommodating. And also there bright and early for Brunch service the next day! I can't say enough positive things about the whole MBOR team and the venue itself. If I could do it all over again, I wouldn't change a thing. We will definitely be back to celebrate our anniversary(s)!
