Suzanne and John
Suzanne and John live in Scotland, and chose the beautiful Resort at Longboat Key Club as the venue for their destination wedding ceremony and reception earlier this year.
Secluded on a barrier island on the Gulf of Mexico, The Resort at Longboat Key Club is a AAA Four-Diamond destination that spans 410 acres of lush lawns and pristine beachfront with authentic Old Florida boardwalks. Just a short drive from the upscale shopping, museums and theaters in downtown Sarasota, guests can unwind in one of 226 luxury guest rooms and suites, the perfect setting for family vacations, romantic getaways and guests looking for a tropical escape. Amenities also include access to the resort’s five distinctive restaurants and lounges, along with 45 holes of championship golf, award-winning Tennis Gardens, a full-service spa and an array of water sport equipment. Weddings at The Resort at Longboat Key Club will be nothing short of spectacular. From dramatic themes to serene beach settings, the ceremony and reception will be customized down to the smallest detail, transforming each bride and groom’s vision into reality. Ceremony sites can be one of the elegant indoor venues, or a beach location. It was absolutely the perfect location for Suzanne and John to get married!
Suzanne looked amazing as she was escorted across the sand by her father to join John in front of their wedding arch on the beach. The couple’s custom designed ceremony included scripture readings from the Bible Books of Genesis and Ruth, The Lord’s Prayer and Prayer of Petition from the Book of Common Prayer and The Blessing of the Hands. Then, in front of their family and friends, and with an amazing view of The Gulf of America, the couple shared their wedding vows, exchanged rings, and were pronounced husband and wife by Rev Rick Lackore with Sensational Ceremonies.
Florals and Décor were provided by Tiger Lilly Floral, DJ Services by Jason with Grant Hemond and Associates, Venue Coordination by Gwen and the staff at The Resort at Longboat Key Club, and Wedding and Event Coordination by Bailey with Swanky Soiree. Special thanks to Tammy, with True Love Photography for providing this beautiful picture during the ceremony.
Congratulations to the new Mr. and Mrs. John and Suzanne Odeny!
