Doubletree Resort North Redington was best known for flexibility.  You can pretty much form your own package for the reception.  It was wonderful having a location right on the beach that was able to conform to our budget.  Marie Molina was most helpful getting back quickly to emails and questions.  The food was excellent, all of my guests enjoyed and complimented the quality in the buffet we chose.  They made sure they fulfilled our needs 100%.  They were professional, friendly and courteous.  I recommend this location for brides who want a nice ceremony and reception right on the beach.  We were at the beach for a week and visited the tiki bar before we left, they had a reception for another wedding on a Friday night.  Seems like a lot of people do their ceremony and reception there.  I found this gem accidentally, definitely satisfied my needs!

I would just like to thank the entire staff of the Doubletree for making our entire stay such a wonderful experience…from check in to check out!!  I have already recommended the hotel to the committee doing the reunion for Gibbs Class of 1976.

Planning a wedding from Iraq is difficult and the staff was so helpful and understanding.  They made our wedding very special and more magical than I could have dreamt.

Thank-you, Thank-you and Thank-you.  Everyone had the best time, food was excellent and your staff did an outstanding job. … Trust me – it was the best ever reception ranked by so many of our guests and I’m hoping they will all spread the news and you will get further bookings, I’m recommending you to everyone.  Ed and I had a wonderful time.

You all did a fabulous job, thank you!  We had a few ladies that needed some last minute items from the drug store.  Your staff volunteered to go to the store and pick up these few items for them so they would not miss their meeting, and also printed everyone’s boarding passes.  AWESOME service!  It was a pleasure working with each of you. 

Written by Janet Splinter, Mother of Bride: 

“My daughter had a lovely wedding at the Doubletree Hotel in North Redington Beach, FL.  It was everything we expected and more.  I have Marie Molina, the coordinator of the wedding, to thank for such a beautifully executed wedding.  She was extremely helpful and accommodating in the most professional way from the beginning of our planning (Dec. 2008) to the wedding day (July 2009).  The events of the wedding day surpassed all of my expectations.  Marie was there from the beginning to the end of the wedding events to make sure things ran smoothly.  All the guests at the wedding/reception shared how lovely and relaxed it was.  Many guests expressed that this was the best wedding they had been to (a beach wedding).  Your staff was also very accommodating to our family and friends needs during the overnight stay at your lovely hotel.  I would truly recommend your facilities and Marie Molina’s expertise to anyone having a Florida beach wedding.  It was truly a wonderful experience all around.  You have a valuable employee (Marie) at this hotel in making wedding dreams come true.  We owe it all to her for the success and memorable event that we will cherish forever.  No regrets.  I would do it exactly the same if I had to do it all over.  Thank you for a lovely, first class wedding. ”

“The first two days I had my 5 year old with me and it was a lot of fun for families and for young children.  After he left I had a friend come out and stay with me and it was a great time for adults as well!  The staff was great, the location was amazing, the sunsets were breathtaking…I honestly have NOTHING bad to say about this place except that I had to check out and go home!”

“Awesome hotel, employees, food and accommodations.  We had to change hotels at the last desperate minute and they had us in the next morning at 11am with warm cookies, a gulf view and the most heartfelt welcome possible.  Every staff member we encountered had a smile on their face and ready to give us the best service possible.  The food was great, make sure you try the sweet potato chips and salsa.  The rooms were clean, had everything we needed and the beds were very comfortable.  The beach was clean and beautiful.”
