Sand Key Ceremony

Their Story

Eliska and Justin came from Florida’s East Coast and chose the beautiful Clearwater Beach Marriott Suites on Sand Key on Clearwater Beach as the venue for their Sand Key ceremony at the end of September.  From their home in Maitland, the couple loved the idea of getting married on the beach or near the water.

Their Venue

The recently renovated, the all-suite Clearwater Beach Marriott Suites on Sand Key provides an enviable location on Clearwater Bay—minutes from the beach, Sand Key Park and Clearwater Marine Aquarium. Guests can discover true comfort in their expansive suites, offering private balconies, ultra-soft bedding and refreshing amenities. This fun, family-friendly hotel features include a 24-hour fitness center, onsite spa and salon and an outdoor pool with a 35-foot waterfall. Guests can also savor tasty cuisine at Watercolour Grill House and Kokomos Bar and Grille. 

Their Ceremony

Eliska looked gorgeous in her beautiful wedding gown as she was escorted down the aisle by her mother to join Justin under their wedding arch for their Sand Key Ceremony.  The couple’s custom designed wedding ceremony included The Blessing of the Ringsan Irish tradition where the wedding bands are passed among the guest, to send their silent wishes or blessings for the couple..  Then, with a magnificent view of the Intracoastal Waterway as their backdrop, and in front of their family and friends, the couple shared their personal wedding vows, exchanged rings and were pronounced husband and wife by Rev Rick Lackore a Tampa Bay wedding officiant and minister with  Sensational Ceremonies.  Flawless Event and Venue Coordination was provided by Jesse, and the rest of the professional staff at the Marriott.      

Congratulations to the new Mr. and Mrs. Justin Filippi!
