The Renaissance Vinoy Resort

It was THE most AMAZING place to have our wedding and reception!!! The Vinoy was everything we wanted... and more!! Tammy and her team were so GREAT to work with... they 'bent over backwards' to make our day everything we wanted!! Everyone was professional... they always followed through and were always easy to get a hold of (which speaks volumes when planning a wedding!!). They were so thorough and made sure that ALL details were tended to and that we were well taken care of... before, during, and after the wedding!!! The food was AMAZING!!!! The staff was wonderful!!! We wouldn't have chosen ANYWHERE else!!!!

We stayed at the Vinoy as well as had our Ceremony and Reception there. And i couldnt sing their praises enough, you wouldnt believe the treatment we had and our family joked that my husband and i were princess kate and will because no matter where we went we were asked if we needed anything or how or day was, the valet guys counted down to our wedding and we had a great experience we had so many special touches including chocolate covered strawberries, and an amazing wedding suite. You will not be dissapointed with the Vinoy, although it may cost more it is such a beautiful location that you wont be dissapointed. Tammy Mendoza was wonderful, she truly became a part of our family and was there for every aspect of the wedding. They are so detailed and they will reassure that your day will be great. You will feel like aprincess. Tim, Clint, Mark and the rest of the vinoy staff will make sure your have your fairytale day! THe staff was amazing and even went and got my nephew sunglasses one day at the pool because he forgot his, its just an example of what they will do for their guests! Book your wedding there now, or at least stay for a few days you wont regret it!

The Vinoy is a beautiful location for a ceremony and reception. The cake is included which made it easier on me, so I didn't have to find another vendor. All of our guests kept complimenting the food. The service is excellent. The rooms are modern. We had an amazing time!

The venue was absolutely amazing. If you are having a wedding in a hotel then this hotel is a must. The taxes and gratuity add up, but all hotels are the same in that respect and I am so happy we went with the Vinoy. My wedding was perfect. I could not have asked for more. The staff was great, especially as it got close to my wedding date. Just make sure you negotiate upfront and get it in writing b/c the salesperson and then the catering person you deal with are completely different. I loved the big ballroom and the tea garden. The food was amazing and we got so many compliments on our wedding being one of the most elegant, best weddings our guests have been at. Only complaint we got was that the cake cutting was too late and some people left early without getting cake. only issue I had was the waiter assigned to us didn't get me a drink when I asked so our best man took care of me all night. I was dancing and running around a lot though so who knows. AND I would have loved to have a to go box of food in my room that night. the food was so good and I was too excited to eat much! The sliders and mac n cheese station got amazing reviews from guests! I thought the day was perfect!

I cannot say enough great things about the Vinoy. The quality of service by my coordinator (Stacey) was fantastic. The Vinoy has everything you need in one location - this was so helpful because it allowed me to not chase around little details in all different places.
The staff was very polite and helpful, the room was beautiful, and the food was delicious. It says allot when you consider that the Vinoy was chosen by our state governor to host his own wedding!

The Vinoy hotel is the classiest and most elegant venue to hold a wedding at in West Coast Florida, hands down. We had a wonderful experience there, and all the staff were fabulous to work with. They really work hard to make your wedding as perfect as possible. The food was delicious and the overall atmosphere just can't be beat. Our ceremony was in the foyer of the grand ballroom, and our reception was in the ballroom itself. Both locations were beautiful. Cocktail hour was out on the Mezzanine terrace, which was great for the guests. Most of our guests stayed at the hotel overnight, as did we. The rooms are gorgeous, with views of the Bay. I would highly recommend the Vinoy as a ceremony and reception venue.

My husband spent our wedding night here. It is an elegant beautiful place. Walking up the stairs and into the building I felt like a princess. We only stayed for the night, however, they also have wonderful spa services and a beautiful pool if you choose to stay longer.

The Vinoy is one of the most beautiful historic resorts I have ever seen. The interiors are gorgeous and the setting on the waterfront in St. Pete is beautiful. Of course, the service and food were outstanding. If you can afford to pay a bit more, it's definitely worth it.

The Vinoy is absolutely spectacular! The hotel and ballroom are beautiful and the people are even nicer. Stephanie Pettita and her entire team are helpful, professional, personable, and the most patient team I could have hoped for. I didn't even need a wedding planner because they are so good at what they do!! The reception was stunning and we could not have asked for anything more. My mother was so impressed, she wrote a letter to Mr. Marriott himself to sing the praises of Stephanie and The Vinoy staff. The wedding was a dream!

We hosted at 180 person wedding inthe Tea Garden and the Grand Ballroom of the Vinoy, and it was an exceptional experience. The hotel provides a team of professionals to help organize the day, and we had a relaxing and enjoyable wedding thanks to their level of expertise. We worked with Erika Hill, as our catering manager, and she was always available to answer questions or come up with clever solutions to budget and decor questions. Erika is really wonderful at what she does, and her years of experience will be of benefit to any bridal party. Everyone commented on the delicious food, and the Vinoy even made a special salad from my own recipe as part of our dinner offering. We had a wonderful time at the tasting, and even met all the chefs involved in the wedding, and we had no worries at all about food. It was delicious.

The entire staff really makes the bride and groom feel welcome and special, and we felt like everyone knew us by name by the end of the weekend from the concierge to the reception staff to the valets.

The evening went off without a hitch, and the team at the Vinoy makes throwing a grand wedding seem easy. A huge thanks to the entire staff for making it a weekend to remember!

Impeccably done. Our cakes were done in-house, and they were delicious. We made some changes to the menu, and it turned out well.

I cannot give enough thanks to our coordinator at the Vinoy, Erika. She made sure everything was perfect, and kept our wedding planner in line  They upgraded the bridal suite for us at no charge, sent bottles of champagne to my room, and just kept us happy!
The food was phenomenal! We were hearing raves about it all night!! The cocktail hour food was also delicious! The whole planning process was made easy with their help. We also had a buffet breakfast the next morning for our guests. Again, the food was outstanding!
When it was brought to our attention that a CHRISTMAS TREE was in the ballroom from a previous party, it was removed immediately, no problem! (This was a ½ Jewish wedding, I am sure you can see the problem here!)
There really were no big problems, or small problems! Grade: A+++

The Vinoy is a beautiful location and definitely one of a kind. We loved the venue, but it was a little on the pricier side. However, we absolutely loved our wedding and Quinn was amazing. If you get married at the Vinoy, ask for Quinn. She is outstanding.

The Vinoy is such a class act. Our wedding day was FLAWLESS on their end. Everything was perfect down to the last place card. The service was beyond exceptional and our guests felt like they were treated to a truly high class, unforgetable weekend. The price was high, but worth every dime. The location is perfect and gorgeous. We felt like we were the only guests in the hotel the entire weekend. A++++

Stephanie V. was awesome! She was out some during the intial planning stages so I had to deal with another person in the event planning office and I wasn't as pleased with her work. I was so glad when Stephanie returned as she was super helpful, very flexible and handled everything perfectly the day of the wedding. I could not have done it without her and she did most of it without needing much from me (which was nice). The prices at the Vinoy are high and I did have to work with them to bring it into my budget range, but they did work hard to do that. Even though it was still pricy, it was worth it! The food was awesome and many guest (including my parents) thought it was the best meal they had in a very long time. The hotel rooms were also very nice! Although, I would recommend using expedia to find a better rate. I wouldn't change anything about my wedding as it truly was perfect! I definitely recommend using the Vinoy- just be ready to spend some money :)
