Breathtaking views and Jena was an angel

We had such a nice wedding everyone had a blast. Jena was so helpful and always there to respond. She put my mind at ease. We had some issues with the rooms and them not being ready in time, and the room block wasnt what we expected. But over all it was a beautiful venue.

Staff was incredible!

We originally had another venue booked for a much larger wedding, but due to Covid we chose Sonesta for our micro-wedding of 30 guests since it was close to our home in Fort Lauderdale Beach. Our wedding day was truly enhanced by the wonderful staff at this hotel! Everyone really just went above and beyond to try to make what was our "back-up" vision come to life. Our small, intimate event was very bespoke and luxurious. The General Manager, Michael Medeiros was AMAZING. It was like having our favorite uncle helping along with the planning! He listened to all our ideas, concerns, and offered so much knowledge and creative input throughout the planning process. We wanted a modern, upscale, city/ocean wedding without the elements of beach (wind, heat, sand, etc.), and that's what we achieved! Also must add that we had several unique requests regarding the menu, and the culinary staff was an absolute "10"! The menu tasting surpassed our foodie expectations which carried over to the wedding meals of our guests. The head chef was very professional, friendly, and super flexible to our quirky needs. We got married during a thunderstorm in the middle of a pandemic and we wouldn't change a thing because we did it at the right place. Highly recommend!

Perfect venue for a perfect day

We booked sonesta a while ago because how could you resist! It's stunning! But when covid hit everything was so up in the air. Michael dutton and his team worked with us to make sure our wedding could happen in accordance to fort lauderdales rules and I can't thank them enough! The wedding was so perfect and the staff at the sonesta made us feel so special all weekend long. Everyone there was absolutely amazing! Thank you all so much!
