5 Stars on The Knot – Casa Ybel Weddings Review

Start to finish, Casa Ybel was a dream. Tori is absolutely amazing to work with, and from the very beginning she made everything incredibly easy. From a list of vendors to start with, prompt responses to emails, and just a really great attitude that just tells you she loves this job, the whole experience was fantastic. Tori worked tirelessly to make sure everything went off well for us, and on the day of the wedding she was incredibly attentive, and worked to direct everyone where they needed to be and make sure we all got from point A to B. I did not feel for a second that I needed a day-of coordinator. The food was incredible(this was very important to us), the grounds are STUNNING, the rooms amazing, and all staff are top notch. This was, in every way, our dream wedding and we could not be happier. Casa Ybel is positively phenomenal.

Island Elopement – Sanibel, FL { Abbey + Matt }

20171228-Abbey-Matt-390

Sometimes, it’s easier (and way more fun) to just elope!  Abbey & Matt brought only their immediate families and ran off to Florida for an outdoor oceanfront wedding.  Their ceremony was on Casa Ybel Resort’s lush Back Lawn overlooking the Gulf of Mexico.  What could be a better a reason to escape the cold Ohio winter?

New York is cold in February!  Stephanie and Elijah decided to escape to sunny Florida to get married on the beach on Sanibel Island.  They welcomed their guests to warmer weather at Casa Ybel Resort where they dined al fresco on the open air patio.  This was a destination wedding done so very right!

Tropical Wedding in Paradise – Sanibel Island, FL { Karla + Alex }

20180512-Karla-Alex-0724

If we had to use one word to describe Karla & Alex’s wedding, it would be FUN.  The most important thing about their Sanibel Island wedding weekend was that their guests have fun.  They held a tennis tournament and volleyball match the morning of their wedding!  We love how laid back these two were.  Their beach wedding ceremony and tented back lawn reception were full of joy and laughter.  The tropical centerpieces and sand dollar favors were a nod to their Sanibel Island wedding locale.

5 Star Review on The Knot – Casa Ybel Resort

Casa Ybel was the perfect place for a destination wedding. We had an intimate wedding gathering there this past January with close friends and family. Everyone had a magical time!!! The staff at Casa Ybel were consumate professionals and had all of the details covered. It began many months before the wedding. Our wedding coordinator, Tori Weatherford, walked us through each step of the process. She was helpful in recommending photographers, DJs, florists, etc. We were thrilled with all of their recommendations. And, they were flexible allowing us to add our own touches to make the occasion uniquely ours. Mostly, she and the staff helped to ease the anxieties that come with planning one of the most important events in a lifetime. The resort is spectacular possessing a romantic blend of its historic roots with modern accoutrements. The food was excellent and we loved our wedding cake. Our suite had a gorgeous view of the Ocean and spectacular sunsets. Then there are the beaches there at the resort and the surrounding Island. The resort is conveniently nestled almost in the middle of the island close to shopping areas while still possessing the romantic feeling of a secluded get away. However, you really don’t even need to leave the resort if you’re so inclined. My wife and I love our wedding at Casa Ybel and can not wait to return for an anniversary celebration at some point. We recommend Casa Ybel and wish all you who are about to be married all the happiness and joy we have found together. And it all began at Casa Ybel!!!
