Kelli Love made our dream wedding come true! We begin working with the Sirata around September 2019 (for our August 8, 2020 wedding date)! From the very beginning, Kelli tended to all of our needs. She helped us find vendors from afar as this was a destination wedding that we were planning from Iowa. As Covid-19 had it's grips on the country in early Spring, Kelli communicated with us throughout to give us state/county updates and ensure that we were going to have the wedding that we always wanted. We had a make a few small adjustments (change reception rooms to allow for social distancing and update our guests about housekeeping), but nevertheless our big day was PERFECT! All of our guests enjoyed their accommodations, the amenities (pool, beach, beach chairs, bars, etc...) and of course the wedding festivities! Thank you to the Sirata Resort and Kelli Love for helping deliver the wedding of our dreams!

I requested information a few months prior to traveling to St Pete since I'm in NH. I ended up communicating and meeting w Jessica. From the very beginning she was always answered right away and I didn't feel like I was bothering her w all my questions. When we toured the property everything was beautiful and had been renovated. They have many options for the ceremony, cocktail hour and reception. They cater the food and had buffet and plated options. Me and fiance loved the coconut palm tent that is right on the beach and have decided to book this vendor based on the amazing customer service and how beautiful it is. I cant wait to bring all our friends and family here to celebrate our big day in 2021.

We got married at Sirata on March 21, 2020. With COVID-19 we were quickly having to re-do our vision of our wedding on almost a daily basis to keep up with all the changes. Kelli Love could not have been more accommodating! The team at Sirata made sure we had the wedding of our dreams. The ceremony site on the beach was absolutely breathtaking, and having our reception in the Coconut Palm Pavilion right on the beach worked out perfectly! From the time we toured Sirata through the day of our wedding they went above and beyond to help us plan our day. We loved that so many aspects of our wedding were included and that they offered so much help during planning and the day of. I HIGHLY recommend.

We got married here on the beach back in March and it was amazing. It was a destination wedding so I planned everything from PA and Kelli Love was great with responding and helping me out with anything I needed, she’s awesome at her job! The food is amazing and the staff is so accommodating, everything turned out perfect with no complaints. I will say the only downfall to having the reception in the coconut palm tent is the bathrooms being kinda far away but besides that, the tent is such a nice location for a reception. Definitely recommend this place for anyone wanting a beach wedding, couldn’t have asked for a better place!

This is such a beautiful venue. The staff were very friendly and kind and working. We worked with Tracy who did a great job responding to all questions and clarifying anything we needed. The only issue we had was with the room block situation but it seems that it worked out for everyone.

Having grown up on the beach in Florida I always had a "dream beach wedding" in mind. When I met my fiance' we both had previous church weddings and knew we wanted to be married on the beach. There are so many beach wedding destinations near our home in St. Petersburg and we chose The Sirata Beach Resort. I am an extremely discerning professional with an eye for detail and let my wedding planner, Jennifer Jasper, know my high expectations from the beginning. I told her everything from the rooms, to the hotel amenities to the food had to be an exceptional experience for our guests. And boy did she DELIVER! Jennifer was always a step ahead of me, helping me plan and making suggestions that were exceptional! I truly don't know what I would have done without her at my side. I could not believe a hotel would provide me with someone with such a high level of professionalism and expertise as Jennifer! I cannot recommend Jennifer enough! What I loved the most about her was that I... Read more am very hands on and she always welcomed meeting with me in person, even at the last minute as I worried about details of one sort or another. She was in contact with me the day before my wedding and throughout my wedding day. She came up to my room to walk me downstairs and coordinated the most beautiful wedding one could ever hope for! Thank you Jennifer Jasper! I would also like to extend a special thank you to the chef and food staff - our guests gave us amazing compliments on our reception dinner! I want to also thank Veena for taking excellent care of Jeff and I during our reception; the staff even put away our table decorations as our ceremony winded down; everything was saved and all we had to do was put it in our car. Our wedding could not have gone smoother! It was the very best day of my life!! I hope to post a video which shows Jennifer getting me down the aisle in the perfect time ... it shows exactly why you should hands down choose the Sirata and Jennifer Jasper for your ideal beach wedding!

We hosted out wedding at the Sirata Beach Resort and it was incredible! We had our rehearsal dinner, ceremony and reception at the resort and Kelli & Jessica ensured everything went on without any hiccups! I cannot even begin to explain how amazing Kelli and Jessica were. They made sure everything from the decor, food, guests, etc were taken care. I worried about nothing! They even kept an eye on all the groomsmen to make sure they didn't celebrate too much before the ceremony ;D We had a rock and roll theme to our wedding that involved a lot of creativity and Kelli got very involved and even threw in some ideas that we used! The ceremony setup and scenery is gorgeous as well as the Royal Palm ballroom with sights of the beach, tropicana/downtown st pete, and the skyway bridge. All the lights lit up at night are beautiful and makes for an amazing backdrop. On top of that, the food was incredible! We selected the beef and chicken option. So many of our guests said it was one of the best... Read more steaks they have ever had. I could write a book with this review but overall this was the perfect venue for our wedding!

My husband and I had a sunset beach wedding in February at the Sirata Beach Resort at St. Pete Beach. We live in Boston, Massachusetts and coordinating with Sirata from Boston was painless. From the beginning Kelli Love and her staff were more than accommodating and very helpful. Their list of preferred vendors were actually really good. We got our photographer, DJ, lights, ice cream, baker and florist from the list and we could not be happier with the services we got from the vendors. On the wedding day, the staff were very attentive to my husband and I. They made sure our glasses were full and we got food first. The most difficult part was the room block because our family and friends were very last minute and the reservation line was sometimes not as helpful. However, the staff under Kelli Love were responsive to our feedback and were able to rectify the situation. We opted for the Farewell Brunch the day after on the breezeway, which was very nice. Overall, the experience could not... Read more gone better. We were very pleased with our experience, the facilities and the amenities at the Sirata Beach Resort and recommend it highly.

Sirata Beach Resort exceeded our expectations in making our dream of a beach wedding more beautiful than I could have ever imagined. We worked with Kelli Love and she was beyond amazing during the entire wedding process! We cannot thank her enough for making our dream wedding come true! We highly recommend Sirata Beach Resort for your wedding!

Kelli, made our entire wedding experience stress free, giving my wife and I and all our friends and family an amazing destination wedding. Everything was extremely organized. Set up and decoration were awesome. Fantastic food. Amazing pictures to last a lifetime. We will definitely visit Sirata again for one of our anniversaries

Great venue! We had an amazing day and our guests all had a great time! Loved how easy it was to communicate with Kelli about what we needed. She made sure everything went great on the day of! SO happy to have worked with her!

I loved everything about my wedding except the wedding coordinator from Sirata. The venue, the food, the service all great, The wedding coordinator was terrible though. If you are organized and prepared to do it all yourself, go for it! She took forever to answer emails, sometimes deferred to her assistant and her assistant would answer me however, when I would speak to her again her answer would be totally different than her assistance. I had emails that completely contradicted each other. I did everything on my own because I realized how unhelpful she was. The day before our wedding at our meeting before the rehearsal she was late, briefly blew threw everything but acted as though the day of she would be there and handle things. I saw her for a few minutes before the ceremony and as soon as we said I do, she was gone. She wasn’t there for the reception or even the introduction to the reception. She told me half way through we could open the sides of the tent at the coconut pavi... Read morelion and when we asked multiple times it was a debacle and never happened. I absolutely loved my wedding and wish I could give Sirata 5 stars, but I can’t do to this. One little other thing, was after the wedding two guests mentioned our bartender was rude. Sad to hear because we had awesome service at rum runners and Harry’s! Hope this helps

We recently got married at Sirata Beach Resort on 03.07.2020, we chose Sirata for the value and the view. Saint Pete Beach is beautiful but always keep in mind you get what you pay for. We originally reached out to Jennifer Jasper 2 years ago to see the property, it was under construction so it seemed like it was getting up to date. Once choosing the venue we were assigned to Kasey Bussel,who then informed us that the wedding date we wanted was no longer available. This should have been our first sign of things to come... we were then lied to about the room block. Kasey told us that we could start off with 10 rooms and add more down the road. Further more she told us to tell our guests to book later since it was spring break and the phones were busy. Once spring break was over we tried to get more rooms, we were told that the rate had to be higher and in the end could not get more rooms. Looking back at it we should have tasted to food before booking it to make sure the food was good. ... Read moreLuckily the food was good but the napkins we requested were all of a sudden no longer available. Kasey quit working at Sirata 5 months before our wedding, understandably things change but this was difficult for us seeing she said she would be with us every step of the way. We were 2 years in to planning and we could not seem to get a hold of anyone there. Finally they hired some one to replace Kasey, her name was Tracy and she came from the hotel next store "Grand Plaza". In the 4 months to come we got everything set up although it was rough. We also found out that Kasey was planning on charging us more then we agreed on, things seemed to be coming together slowly. Once the wedding weekend arrived more problems occurred, we had made itineraries that were never given out, we "the groom and bride" did not get waters at check in and the wifi was never given out. We make a point of these things because they are supposed to be included in the "Resort Fee" you pay each day. Our first night the fire pits did not work and the bars shut down early. Our second day it was a hassle to try to check in for the bridal suite, I had to keep calling to see if the room was available. On the wedding day we were told that Tracy would not be staying through the night, that we were being passed off to the a banquet person to help us throughout the night. He did not help throughout the night, he disappeared about 20 minutes in. The groom had to go into the kitchen to get our food, we were never served dinner or the cake. The bartender was rude and on her phone the entire night. Maybe we are crazy to think this but especially since we are the groom and bride, we thought we would get great service. We paid an additional 1,500 to have a trade up bar and that liquor was not served. After this we went to Rum Runners on location for an after party. To rewind for a second we were told that they had 1 wedding a day when we were booking, this is not the case. We found this out when there was another bridal party at rum runners as well. I digress.. our credit card was stolen, charged at the 7-eleven down the street and then returned to the main desk. The next day we had a meeting with Tracy and the Manager Jackie in regards to the stolen card, never getting our food and paying additional money for a buy up we did not receive. We were told that the manager of Rum Runners and security would be reaching out to us about the card, Tracy and Jackie said they would followup as well. All in all our complaints were pushed aside since they already had their money, we still have not had anything resolved 2 weeks later. Due to the card being stolen we had to order a new card but it did not come in time for our honeymoon. This was supposed to be the happiest day of our new lives together but it turned out to be stressful, hectic, not organized and a sham.

Our wedding and reception were held at the Sirata on the North Beach and in the Coconut Palm Pavilion. It was an absolutely beautiful venue and the perfect beach wedding that we wanted. The food was amazing and the wait staff was extremely attentive not only to us but to our guests as well. We rented some outside games to have at our reception (giant Jenga and cornhole) that were a huge hit with our guests as well! We had approximately 100 people attend our wedding so the reception space was perfect to allow for plenty of seating space as well as movement on the dance floor. However, when we first booked with the Sirata, our event coordinator was really good with communication, answering questions, and documentation of preferences, choices, etc.; about four months before our wedding our original coordinator left the Sirata and the new coordinator we were assigned was not as proficient. Unfortunately, this did result in a fair amount of frustration on our end due to miscommunications an... Read mored general lack of communication, resulting in the need for us to continuously follow-up on items that fell under the Sirata’s responsibilities to ensure they were taken care of (e.g., our preference to have parking charged to us and not guests). While the venue itself was extremely beautiful, we have no doubts that our wedding would have been extremely stressful had we not had an external day of coordinator. While we had some difficulties with the Sirata, when major issues were brought to their attention they did do a great job trying to resolve them. Jessica Bentley, the Wedding and & Social Events Coordinator, even took her own time to search the resort for our missing wedding cake following the wedding and personally placed an order to replace it for us to pick up following our return from the Honeymoon.
