Imagine walking down the aisle to the island wedding that brides dream of, where Casa Ybel Resort's white sands meet the aquamarine waters of the Gulf of Mexico. Grand weddings and receptions have been our tradition for more than a century. Thistle Lodge, the old-island manor which houses our restaurant of the same name, was built as a wedding gift in the late 1800's. It continues to give the gift of an exquisite rehearsal dinner, wedding dinner and reception venue. Be it a wedding celebration that is small or grand, simple or lavish, Casa Ybel Resort's complete planning services will create an elite event that glows with romance. Our Celebration Services Staff will assist you with every detail, from locating an officiate to menu planning and a fairytale wedding cake.

Casa Ybel Resort offers a unique array of backdrops. Recite your vows on the lushly landscaped lawn overlooking the Gulf of Mexico, in the lakeside gazebo, or on the beach. Casa Ybel Resort was made for destination weddings and honeymoons. Hold hands while strolling along the shore, worship the sun together at poolside, and enchant each other over a dinner, steps from the water's edge. Whisper goodnight under star-filled skies, and take home memories that will last a lifetime. Bring your love to Casa Ybel Resort, Sanibel's most romantic resort destination.
