Set directly on the sand in the heart of St. Pete Beach, The Luce is a newly reimagined beachfront boutique hotel and part of Marriott’s Tribute Portfolio. The property blends coastal charm with modern, retro-inspired style and a relaxed yet sophisticated atmosphere, with 14,000 square feet of Gulf-view event space, the largest pool on St. Pete Beach, and 200 guest rooms.

From intimate courtyard ceremonies to beachfront vows with the Gulf of Mexico as your backdrop, The Luce offers indoor and outdoor event spaces, customizable tiered wedding packages, in-house catering, and on-site accommodations, so couples and their guests can celebrate an entire wedding weekend in one destination.

What Couples Love About Our Venue

Couples love that The Luce turns a wedding day into a full wedding weekend on St. Pete Beach. Guests can stay on site in room blocks, gather for a welcome reception at the Palm Court Firepit, and wrap up with a farewell brunch, with Gulf Coast sunsets in between.

Between events, guests can enjoy the largest pool on St. Pete Beach, cabanas with sunshine butler service, dining at Sundrop, Frankie’s Pizza Parlor, and the nightly Sunset Social toast. Thoughtful touches like the signature cigar box, a bellini bar for the bridal party, and a sunset cruise for the newlyweds make the experience feel special from start to finish.
