Casa Ybel Resort Reviews – 5 Stars on The Knot

Another 5 Star Review on The Knot:
Perfection posted 10/28/2014

I could not have been happier with my choice of Casa Ybel for my destination wedding last week. Throughout the process, the staff of Casa Ybel has been tremendous. From the inception, Jessica and Tori worked with me and quickly responded to all of my email communications. They were so easy to work with and so experienced. They guided me through my panic of being unable to find a florist, musician, hair stylist and photographer in a short period of time and had great suggestions to accomodate my love of details.

If you are lucky enough to have Jeremy to assist on your wedding day–you are in good hands.

My wedding party and family are still raving about the food and accommodations.

Amy was spectacular in helping with last minute room accommodations and even helping me preserve my bouquet as I left the resort. The staff was on top of it all–with a smile.

Chris kept up with our colorful friends at Coconuts prior to the wedding-and his service was exceptional!

I do not have one complaint…it was everything that I had hoped for..and more.

Thank you.
Kim & James

I planned my wedding in five months and chose Casa Ybel. Other than my husband, it was the best decision I ever made. I was uncertain of how to proceed with the planning, as I am from New York, but Tori Weatherford handled all of my inquiries – anytime-day or night. I realized that the florists, musicians and photographers book up years in advance of a wedding, but Tori guided me every step of the way -even to a dentist when my tooth chipped as I came off the plane the day before my wedding. My wedding was last weekend and it truly was everything that I ever wanted and more. The staff could not have been more pleasant and helpful. Tori was on site and it ran so smoothly. I literally shipped boxes from NY and on the day of the wedding–I quickly gave Tori and Jeremy my ideas to execute my vision and without hesitation, they took control and got it done—exactly as I envisioned. Our wedding party spent the weekend at Casa Ybel and Coconuts Tiki Bar. Chris the bartender was awesome! It was such a memorable weekend thanks to Tori and staff at Casa Ybel and Coconuts. Thank you.

Wonderful Wedding posted 10/17/2014

If I could, I would give Casa Ybel and it’s staff a 10! Tori and her staff were absolutely wonderful. The ambiance was beautiful, the food was perfect, and everyone was friendly and exceptionally professional. On a special note, we had a difficult guest–who had not returned his RSVP–and the staff bent over backwards to meet his desires. If I had another daughter, her wedding would definitely be at Casa Ybel. I cannot recommend Casa Ybel highly enough. These guys were perfect in every way. You will definitely be pleased with every aspect of their facilities and service!

Tropical Destination Wedding – Sanibel Island, FL {Samantha + John}

For their tropical destination wedding at Casa Ybel Resort on Sanibel Island, FL, Samantha said she was inspired by the Little Mermaid.  With her copper colored hair, lush tropical blooms and subtle ocean touches (like the shell and starfish wedding arch), we think she nailed it!  Even Samantha’s dress has a mermaid flair!  Sanibel Island wedding photographer, Nick Adams Photography, was a perfect match for this tropical island wedding.

Sanibel Island, FL – Beach Brunch Wedding {Lauren + John}

 

Sanibel Island, FL - Beach Brunch Wedding

Summer in Florida is the perfect season for a beach brunch wedding.  Temperatures tend to be cooler in the morning and the chance of showers is lower, too.  Virginia couple, Lauren & John, took advantage of the beautiful morning weather and had their Sanibel Island destination brunch wedding at Casa Ybel Resort.  Sanibel Island wedding photographer, Tonya Malay Photography, caught all of the beautiful details of this summer morning beach wedding.

Casa Ybel Resort Reviews – 5 Stars on The Knot

Another 5 Star Review on The Knot:

We were so excited about attending a Wedding in Sanibel Island- we had heard so much about it! Once we arrived, we were overjoyed at what an adorable and charming venue Alexandra & John had chosen as their Wedding location. The rooms were spread out all over the property, instead of a large hotel tower- we could right walk to the ceremony site on the brick sidewalks. The ceremony took place out on the lawn- and the weather was absolutely perfect! We enjoyed cocktails on the patio… and were surprised by the lovely, intimate room for dinner. We had no idea there was a special room for dinner upstairs. The room had a lot of character, and floor to ceiling windows that hosted a great view of the palm trees on the beach. We truly enjoyed our stay – and look forward to finding an excuse to come back!

Sanibel Wedding Venue – Beach Brunch Wedding {Kristin + Justin}

sanibel wedding venue - beach brunch wedding
Morning beach weddings on Sanibel Island can be so romantic.  Getting out on the sand before everyone else and beating the afternoon summer rain showers are just a few reasons brunch weddings are great for Florida summers.  There’s also the soft light of the morning sun and the irresistible nature of mimosas and waffles and omelets!  We love the nature-inspired decor and the sweet antique furniture that adorn Kristin and Justin’s brunch wedding at Casa Ybel Resort on Sanibel Island.  And we really love these timeless images from Sanibel Island wedding photographer Trenholm Photo.

A destination beach wedding doesn’t mean you have to pass up luxury.  Haley and Don didn’t. They hired Sanibel Island wedding planner Courtney Gabelbauer of Fabulously Chic Weddings to plan their nuptials at Casa Ybel Resort.  The result – a super luxe wedding reception filled with plush champagne and ivory linens, crystal chandeliers and gold details.  Sanibel Island wedding photographer Jamie Lee Photography caught all the opulent details on film.
