Can't recommend enough!

If you're thinking about booking with the Opal Sands for your wedding, do yourself a favor and just do it! Everything about my experience was a 1000/10. If you're looking for a place with stunning views, the best wedding food you & your guests will ever have, and all around amazing vibes then this is the perfect place! From the day we toured to our wedding day, Jenna and her team were BEYOND amazing. All of our guests had nothing but great things to say about the team at the Opal. Jenna's communication, attention to detail, assistance, and hard work are seriously unbeatable!! We have received nothing but great compliments from our guests who stayed at the Opal and those we didn't about the service, food, accommodations, and views. I honestly cannot recommend the Opal enough!! If I could relive my wedding I would book at the Opal 100x's again. My husband and I will definitely be back for a getaway!

Thank you Jenna and team for making our day everything and more than we could have ever imagined. We are so grateful for you guys and appreciate everything you did for us!

Absolutely perfect!

I can't say enough good things about our experience with Opal Sands Resort! We held our son's rehearsal dinner there followed by a welcome reception for all the wedding guests. We worked with Jenna as our event coordinator and couldn't have been happier with her professionalism, kindness, and helpfulness!!! She was AWESOME to work with! She truly made the entire experience go perfectly, there was not one flaw or glitch! She is a master at her job!!

The food at Opal Sands was AMAZING! So many of our guests commented on how delicious everything was, from dinner, to appetizers, to the decadent cupcakes, everything was wonderful!

We truly had an amazing experience and event!

Our Perfect Venue

We couldn't have asked for a more perfect venue or team to work with than Opal Sands! My husband and I planned a destination wedding for 100+ with guests from around the world. From the moment we toured Opal Sands as a potential venue, Jenna made us feel so comfortable and we knew we were in the right hands! Every choice from then on went smoothly -- Jenna is responsive and knowledgeable and answered every question we had and more; she worked so seamlessly with our planner on every detail and helped us get our favorite bartenders from the beachside Sandbar to be part of our weekend! Our tasting with made us feel like royalty and our guests are still raving about the food to this day! On our wedding day it was extremely windy -- we made the call to move our oceanside ceremony into the backup space, the upstairs lobby of Opal Sands, knowing that there was a plan in place and it would still be beautiful. Our team at Opal and everyone behind the scenes made the transition seamlessly and gorgeously! The suite we stayed in was incredible and the perfect place to relax, host, and get ready! You literally cannot beat Opal's pool/beach bar scene, it was the most amazing spot to relax before and after the wedding. We will be coming back to Opal Sands for years to come on anniversary trips and would recommend booking here for anyone who loves Clearwater Beach, ocean views, and unparalleled service!
