Annika W. Sent on 01/16/2023The Best Weekend of our Lives!
From the very beginning, Gwen with the resort was incredibly accommodating and kind to us. She ensured that we could make the wedding work around our budget and helped us plan from out of state. Planning from out of state can be stressful, but Gwen made it so easy! The wedding itself was absolutely GORGEOUS. We were so blessed with the beautiful day that it was, and it couldn't have come together without her and the team at the resort. Thank you so much for everything LBKC - we will most definitely be back! -

I cannot begin to explain what a wonderful place this was the get married. Everything was absolutely stunning. We knew this was our location as soon as we left. We worked with Gwen, and she went so far above and beyond. She was so quick to respond to us, answered all of our questions, and made the entire process seamless. There are many different options within this resort, to accommodate different budgets. The views were incredible, the food was delicious, and everything flowed exceptionally well. We cannot recommend this venue enough. Thank you Gwen!! -

When my husband and I decided that we wanted a destination wedding in Florida we were highly interested in Longboat Key Club. We booked a spontaneous flight and LBKC accommodated to give us a tour. On that day, I knew if we booked with them we would have exceptional service.
The views of the wedding ceremony and the outstanding reception area, our wedding could not have been more beautiful! The service provided stuck out to all of our guest and the quality of food was amazing.
Special thank you to Sonja for working with us throughout the past year. Working with Sonja could not have been any easier. She provided us with all the needed information and made sure our wedding would be perfect! Longboat Key Club will always hold a special place in our heart! -

When we first toured Longboat Key Club, Ayla and the events team were so welcoming and knowledgeable about every aspect of the space - we were immediately sold. As we continued to plan and look into our details, she was so fast to reply to any request. Even through uncertain times, Ayla made us feel so confident that our wedding day would be handled with the grace and expertise LBKC is best known for.
From the moment we arrived on our wedding weekend, everything at LBKC was incredible. Our guests were blown away by the high level of service, absolutely breathtaking views from the rooms, and of course the impeccable golf course.
When it came to the day of the wedding, we can honestly say it was the best day of our lives. Everything was so seamless and perfect it still feels like a dream. The coordination between LBKC and our vendors was so smooth from our eyes and it truly showed from beginning to end of the wedding. We still are getting compliments on how incredible the day was and went to share our thanks to the amazing staff that made such a perfect day possible. Looking back, our wedding was truly everything we have dreamed of and more. -

The moment we'll never forget!
Love is where the ocean meets the water. We were so thrilled to have our special day at LBKC. I especially wanted to give a shout out to Ayla Goggin. From day one, Ayla ensured our day was spectacular and also made our day completely customizable to our wishes. We are forever grateful for our experience at this beautiful venue and highly recommend LBKC for your special day! -

Best Beach Wedding
If you are looking for a STUNNING beach wedding with the best staff possible look no further! Ayla among the rest of the staff at LBKC made my husband and I feel confident in our choice from the first time we spoke with her. Keep in mind our wedding was planned from New Jersey (through a pandemic nonetheless), but Ayla always kept us informed and up to date to keep our minds at peace. We can't say enough about the professionalism and warmth we received from her and all the staff, I'd do my wedding there 1000 more times if I could, absolutely was the wedding I always dreamed of as a little girl. Thank you a million times over LBKC. ❤️ -

Ayla at The Resort at Longboat Key Club was amazing!! Originally I wanted our ceremony by the water, but I absolutely didn't want sand. When I toured this venue and saw the beach, I fell in love and knew that was the perfect spot. Throughout the whole process Ayla was there to help me every step of the way. She answered all my questions and gave insights into things I didn't think of! It was wonderful to have our cake and day of coordinator included in the wedding package and to have a list of preferred vendors. The Grand Tasting was a wonderful way to help pick our menu, and all of the food was delicious! After a perfect wedding, the banquet captain sent us home with leftovers!! It was a perfect venue and with Ayla's help and guidance (along with Swanky Soiree Events) it was a perfect day! -

Perfect in every way!
Wow, I cannot recommend this venue enough! Having to postpone an April wedding seemed like a nightmare, but Ayla (the wedding coordinator) and the team at Longboat Key Club made it so simple and painless. Our wedding was this past Friday, and when I say that the day was everything I could have asked for and more I am not kidding. Ayla did everything to make sure the day went off perfect - from seamlessly organizing things to making sure everything was done to our plans, there was not one thing I would have changed. The food was SO delicious, the waitstaff was extremely professional, the beaches are beautiful and clean, and the day felt like a dream. We will never forget this amazing experience, and cannot recommend this venue enough. Call Ayla, you won't be disappointed!! -

Ayla was so incredible to work with throughout my wedding planning process. We had our ceremony at the South Beach, cocktail hour on the lawn, and the reception at the Harbourside Ballroom. The day was absolutely perfect and our guests had a great time. Ayla made sure all of the logistics were confirmed with her staff and our vendors - it was stress-free! I can't recommend Ayla and the Resort at Longboat Key Club enough. We couldn't have asked for a better experience! -

To be completely honest, I am speechless over how amazing Longboat was during our wedding weekend. I felt like royalty the ENTIRE weekend! Even in the planning process, Ayla and her team were so helpful and kind. I had a very specific vision for our wedding and Longboat surpassed my expectations. I have absolutely nothing negative to say about Longboat. I wish I could get married there every single weekend!! I promise you, this is the place you want your wedding!!! -

Breanna N. Sent on 09/24/2019Ayla has been great!
I contacted Longboat Key club at the last minute because I was going to be down there for a short vacation and wanted to look at wedding venues. Ayla quickly replied back to me and we set up a time to meet. I ended up choosing their venue and we are getting married next June! They have been very helpful with all the questions that I had (and still continue to have) and they are usually quick to respond to the emails. -

To my fellow Brides dealing with planning their wedding before, during and after Covid-19....Most venues can pull off a wedding without a hitch when everything goes right, but I am telling you, you want a wedding venue and wedding team who when everything goes wrong, they don't skip a beat. That is The Resort at The Longboat Key Club. They will work tirelessly to ensure that this is your MOST special day, no matter what happens. They are flexible, understanding and will take the immense amount of stress out of planning a wedding (with or without a pandemic). Ayla is truly the most CARING, UNDERSTANDING and PATIENT human being on the entire planet and she will do absolutely anything and everything to ensure you have an unforgettable wedding experience. I am telling you, if you are deciding between other venues, there is no decision. I know of other brides who have not had even remotely the same experience I had with planning my wedding during all of this and to be able to have your MOST PERFECT DAY despite it all, I promise you it is worth it (we had to change our wedding plans 3 times and you would never know it if you would have seen how amazing everything was). You will not find a better wedding venue in terms of delicious food, incredible staff and breathtaking scenery. I only hope you end up choosing to have your Wedding at the Longboat Key Club so your day is as perfect and unforgettable as ours was. -

We can not say enough good things about Ayla and the Longboat Key Club. We were originally scheduled to have our wedding March 21st 2020 but had to postpone with only 3 days’ notice due to COVID. Ayla and LBK were so helpful during this time frame and quickly helped us gather a new wedding date- one year later. We had our rehearsal dinner at the south beach lawn, our ceremony on the Harbouride lawn and our reception at the Harbourside ballroom. Our rehearsal dinner had to be moved 2 hours before the event from the beach to the lawn because of 20 mph winds and they were able to accommodate this and set up a wonderful event with short notice. Would absolutely recommend to anyone looking to get married in the Sarasota area! -

Jenna B. Sent on 03/22/2020Absolute Perfection - from the resort property to our event coordinator!
The Resort at Longboat Key Club is an absolutely stunning wedding venue. From the moment my husband and I took a tour with Ayla we knew it was our place ❤️ Having a beach ceremony and outdoor reception was always my wedding dream, and LBKC offered so many great options. We got married on South Beach with our cocktail hour on the Harbourside Terrance, followed by our reception on the Harborside Lawn. We also used the mangrove area for our First Look and wedding party photos. I loved having all the variety of locations! Aside from the beautiful venue, Ayla (our resort wedding coordinator) and her team were beyond fantastic to work with. She was in constant contact with me and always responsive with the plethora of questions I bombarded her with. Having everything from the delicious food, to the cake, the day of coordinator, beverages, etc packaged together with the venue made my life a lot easier too. I truly believe my wedding would not have been as amazing as it was without the help and guidance of Ayla. It doesn’t get any better than her. If you’re looking for a venue that feels like your own Florida oasis with a great events team, and food that will absolutely WOW your guests (the action stations were seriously amazing), then look no further because Longboat Key Club is the place for you!

Nicole Sent on 11/13/2019Beautiful Venue, Even Better Event Coordinator
We booked LBKC a long time before our wedding date. I knew from the first visit that this is where I wanted to get married. Unfortunately, we did run into a problem when we were informed the resort was going under construction the month of our wedding, and that most amenities would not be available to our guests. Luckily, we had Ayla Goggin to help make everything perfect regardless. Ayla was the most professional, reliable, kind, and helpful Venue coordinator we could've ever asked for. Despite the construction, Ayla worked tirelessly to make our day perfect - and it ended up being the most perfect day ever. Throughout the process, she helped recommend excellent vendors, suggested great ideas, and was extremely communicative. I recommend LBKC because the venue is stunning, the beaches are gorgeous, the service staff is super friendly, and the food was DELICIOUS. We couldn't have asked for better wedding food.. definitely get the stations. Oh - and ask for Irene to be at your wedding - she's the best.
In the end, I would choose LBKC 10x over for my wedding day. Thank you, thank you, thank you Ayla. -

Mary Sent on 07/24/2018We had our wedding at the Harbourside Ballroom at the Resort at Longboat Key Club and it couldn’t have been more amazing!!! The venue is absolutely stunning. The views and picture spots are incredible. The staff was amazing and so easy to work with! Amy was so quick to respond and eager and excited to help with anything we needed! The table setting was perfect for a large crowd. The tables were set up in a U shape around the dance floor which easily encouraged everyone to dance! Kourtney from Swanky Swoiree Events was incredible to work with. She made the whole day go smoothly so that my husband and I as well as our families could enjoy every minute of it. Fitz from Goodley Entertainment Group was an awesome DJ and kept the party going all night. Overall a great venue and group of people to work with :) -
