Bon Appetit's Waterfront Sunset Crystal Ballroom

We had the absolutely perfect wedding. The food, the scenery, the service… was ALL fantastic nd we have received so many compliments from everyone. Guests are still talking about the food (especially the apps and prime rib), music and view. Wish we could do it all over again!”

You cannot find a more organized and professional venue for your Wedding, Anniversary or Party event. The Professional expertise from the Wedding Planners, the Serving Staff, Lobby Staff and the Valets made our Wedding Day flawless from beginning to end. Schedule a visit with Nicole or Nancy and let them show you how your Life Event will be cherished forever.

What a great price for a package that included practically everything! The views were awesome and many of our guests complimented the food. When I arrived early, the decorations were in their places around the room along with the dessert station for my sister's additional sweets. Mr. Trinidad, one of the banquet servers, answered my questions, and the servers were professional. We had a very positive experience at Bon Appetit.

Our wedding reception at Bon Appetit was truly magical. Phenomenal food, excellent service and beautiful views of the Gulf - who could ask for more?! In fact, many of our guests changed their Facebook profile photos to sunset selfies from our wedding reception - that’s all the proof needed on how breathtaking the views are at Bon Appetit. Nancy Williams and Nicole Steele (our contacts at Bon Appetit) were excellent communicators throughout the entire process - from scheduling our first visit to executing on a flawless reception. We are very happy with our special day at Bon Appetit and plan to hopefully celebrate many anniversaries at the restaurant 🙂

We are so thankful to Nancy, Nikki and all the wonderful folks at Bon Appetit for hosting our reception. Nikki met with us several times and answered all our questions and helped calm the "wedding jitters". She and her staff were very accommodating and took note of every little detail. The Crystal Ballroom was beautifully decorated, and we enjoyed the sunset thru the glass windows. The appetizers were absolutely wonderful as well as the main courses. Our guests are still raving about the evening and what a wonderful job the folks at Bon Appetit did. They made our evening magical, and we didn't want it to end. Thank you again. I would give them 10 stars if it were possible.

We priced different venues in the area and were surprised to see how reasonable Bon Appetit was for our wedding reception! Given that they have a great reputation and 5 star dining legacy, we were very pleased. Our banquet coordinator, Nikki was helpful and accommodating and went over and above the regular scope of her job to take care of us in the days leading up to our wedding. When I was most nervous (bride stress) she kept calm and reassuring. I always left there feeling taken care of. She was very responsive via email and helped us find solutions when needed. . She worked closely with my wedding coordinator and other vendors to ensure a flawless day. Her team help execute my vision and with the warm sunset lit room, it was even more beautiful than I imagined. Thank you for making my dream for a tropical inspired reception, come true!!!!

We were blown away at this gorgeous venue for our wedding reception. They had everything prepared and ready to go for us. The staff were absolute rock stars! My husband and I were running behind getting from our ceremony to the reception and they gave us time to relax and eat (bringing us food) before we were called in to greet our guests. We needed the food and drinks! The food was delicious and many people complimented on how tasty everything was. You can't beat the views in the upstairs room and they did a fantastic job at adding our décor and filling in anything that had gaps. Very professional!

A dream venue and so gorgeous! Nancy is incredible and all of the staff from Bon Appetit helped make the day so special for my husband and me. We chose to get married upstairs and the venue used partially our decorations and partially their decorations, Nancy arranged everything beautifully! The only hiccup we had was that the valet parking that was advertised when I signed my contract was not available day-of and the parking situation was very difficult. I had a smaller guest list of only 55 so I waited until I was able to see everyone I knew was parking was able to get inside. That said, I would 100% recommend this venue to anyone! I LOVED my entire day and the food was fantastic, drinks were delicious, and we had our own waiter checking to see if we needed anything!

What an amazing venue to have your wedding or event! Everything turned out as perfect as they could have and Nancy and her team were there every step of the way making sure our night was perfect. The decorations were perfect to a tee and we only had to provide minimal amounts of instructions. They really are pros!

We were coming from out of state so we could not make any arrangements in person. They took care of everything, all we really had to do was choose our cake with a preferred vendor, and let our DJ know this was our venue. Everything was perfect, and the staff was great. Many of our guests said it was the best ceremony they had been too. Many thanks to Nancy. The ceremony was by far the least stressful part of the entire destination wedding operation. And the pictures both from inside and outside the waterfront were beautiful.

Wonderful in every way! We were very pleased with our wedding ceremony and reception at Bon Appetit Restaurant. We had a small (18 people) ceremony outside on the smaller dock called "The Point". It was perfect! Then, we had an elegant cocktail party and sit down dinner upstairs in the smaller ballroom. We had a U-shaped table where everyone could watch the amazing sunset from their seats! Panoramic views. Nancy and the entire staff were top notch and we highly recommend the venue and team. The list of preferred vendors from Nancy was super helpful too. Thank you, Nancy!

Beautiful waterfront venue…got married on the sunset pier. Nancy and her staff made the process so easy to plan our destination wedding. She was helpful in choosing the menu to accommodating last minute changes. I can’t say enough about the amazing food, the great service from the wait staff, and the beautifully decorated ballroom. Excellent value and stress free experience. Everyone had a wonderful time !!

Picking a venue was so important to us… we looked at quite a few and it was stressful! But when we saw Bon appetit we instantly fell in love with the gorgeous venue and the view! I am so glad we ended up here… Nancy was truly amazing and she was so helpful and always was quick to get back to me! She made my planning so much easier!! The service was amazing! All the staff were so enjoyable! They were dancing with us which we loved! We didn’t need for anything they were in top of everything! It was truly gorgeous! And amazing! Thank you Bon appetit and thank you so much Nancy! You guys are amazing!!!!

Nancy, Alberto, Adriana and the rest of the staff were amazing!! We would recommend Bon Appetit to any couple who wishes to have their reception in a beautiful venue with excellent service!! They went above and beyond to treat us and our guests like royalty!!

We had our ceremony and reception at Bon Appetit - it was absolutely perfect!

We had our wedding reception at Bon Appetit and it was beyond gorgeous! The staff, food, and sunset were amazing! Thank you for making our special day easy and stress free!

Bon Appetit was absolutely amazing for our one year wedding celebration party. We love Bon Appetit in general, but we were blown away with the level of service and how amazing they made our celebration party. Nancy was wonderful to work with from start to finish, and the staff the evening of our celebration made sure everything went smooth as could be! The view from Bon Appetit is stunning especially at sunset, and the food was exceptional! We could not be happier with our choice to have our celebration at Bon Appetit!

I worked with Bon Appétit for my reception and Honeymoon Island for my ceremony. I was also a destination bride, which made everything logistically a nightmare. However, Bon Appétit as a venue was gorgeous and a beautiful place. The food was amazing as well. Nancy was helpful on the wedding day and hte entire planning process. The stars were the serving staff though! Some of the staff paid personal attention to family members or guests that needed extra support. They all were smiling and at points even danced and joked with people. Great experience and good vibes. The place is beautiful as well! Well organized.

Bon Appetit was the perfect spot for our reception! Nancy was super helpful along the entire process and made sure everything ran perfectly on the day of. The food was AMAZING and we're still getting comments about how it was "by far the best wedding meal I've ever had." (it's our favorite restaurant to go to in general). Even with a 1pm reception with no sunset, the views were stunning and still 100% worth it! Highly recommend!

We could not have been happier with our experience!! We had been to Bon Appetit last December for a birthday dinner and were very impressed with the food, service and atmosphere there. When we were deciding on a venue for our downsized wedding, Bon Appetit is who Theresa and I settled on quickly. Theresa talked to Nancy Williams and viewed the available venues that BA offered. Even once we said that we didn’t want to use one of the upstairs rooms, having decided on just an intimate family dinner, Nancy worked with us to set up the perfect ceremony. On the day of our ceremony, Nancy had a beautifully decorated arch set up for us outside, right on the water. There were water and champagne stations set up, and our host Alberto kept the glasses full, even having non-alcoholic champagne available for the guests, if they so chose. The weather, location and views were perfect! After the ceremony, we all went inside to our table, and immediately, our waiter Alessandro, began to take our drink orders. They arrived, and we all ordered. As we found previously, the food at Bon Appetit was amazing. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed what they ordered. Conversation was easy, even though the piano was being played (quite well) right at the end of our table. The volume was perfect. Alessandro was extremely attentive without being overbearing, and Nancy checked in with me several times to make sure that everything was as expected. It was. All in all, a perfect evening. I have no doubt that Nancy and her staff will put the same care and pride into your event as well. Do yourself a favor, and give Bon Appetit in Dunedin consideration for your wedding or family event. I can’t see you being anything less than extremely pleased with how it turns out!

Nancy and Bon Appetit did a fabulous job for our small wedding. Everything was done the way we asked and the food was delicious!! The room was absolutely stunning and the servers were a lot of fun. Even caught one of them dancing. I guess they had fun too😃

Such a stunning venue. We held our wedding reception at Bon Appetit right around sunset time, which provided a gorgeous backdrop!! The food was delicious and cooked to perfection. The wedding coordinator, Nancy, was very easy to work with and always communicated in a timely manner. Overall, my experience with Bon Appetit was nothing but top notch service and pure enjoyment on our wedding day!! I HIGHLY recommend using Bon Appetit for any event.

Absolutely Amazing!!! We are so thankful to have booked our wedding venue at Bon Appetit, they exceeded every expectation. They were always great at communication, Leslie & Nancy would answer every phone call and email within the HOUR and always put our minds at ease with any questions we had. The staff were all so friendly during our reception, making it feel effortless and so enjoyable. The venue was decorated beautifully, they paid attention to every detail, and could tell they treated it with the most importance. Our family raved about how delicious the food was, and how courteous the bartenders were. The list goes on & on... I would recommend Bon Appetit to anyone and know that they will go above & beyond!

We had a small casual wedding at Bon Appetit. We got married at the Point and didn’t rent out the ballroom, just had 7 tables in the semi private room. The view was beautiful at sunset and we had our first dance, speeches, and cocktail hour outside before heading to our tables. It was very affordable and just perfect for us and our laid back vision! Nancy was SO helpful all along the way and on our special day! Highly recommend!

After shopping many venues we secured our date at Bon Apetite and that was the best decision we could have made. Not only was the subset view from our reception absolutely gorgeous the food and service was equally fantastic. The team provided by the venue was included in the price and really helped us through the planning process. All of their recommendations worked out very well. With tons of color choices and available decorations we were able to create a picture perfect setting for our big day within our budget. I gave me such pride to hear our guests say things like “Best wedding I have been to”, “How did you find this great place”, “The steak was cooked perfectly”, “We loved the food and beautiful view”. We are thrilled with our choice and will hold Bon Apetite in high regard as part of what made our day a big success. Our very special thanks to Leslie for helping us every step of the way and for all the coordination she and Nancy and the staff provided on the day so we could focus on our guests and each other.

My husband and I got married at Bon Appetit this past July and it was a wonderful time! Bon Appetit was absolutely the right choice for us to have our ceremony on the water and our reception in the crystal ballroom. The staff and event coordinators were so helpful and accommodating, they made sure that everything ran smoothly so my guests and I could all just have a great time. The food was delicious and the coffee station was a big winner with me since I am such a huge coffee fan :) Overall my wedding was a huge success, best day of my life for sure and I owe a big thank you to Bon Appetit for helping make it happen!

Such a beautiful setting for my daughter’s wedding reception. Leslie and Nancy saw to every detail and went above and beyond even what we could have imagined. Leslie was so easy and pleasant to work with. If you want a worry free reception, with beautiful views ,great food and terrific service Bon Appétit is the perfect place.

My husband and I feel our wedding ceremony and reception at Bon Appetit was far better than we could have imagined. Nancy and Leslie did incredible work with decorating and making everything run smoothly. We provided our decorations the day before to them, but did not expect to walk in the next day to so many more enhanced detailed decorations they included to fill in gaps. The upstairs room was breathtaking. For everything Bon Appetit includes such as the cake coverage, chair covers/ sashes, champagne, and food guests loved, it adds up to a great value for the reasonable cost. Multiple guests said it was the “best” wedding they have been to. I arrived with hair/ makeup done and was allowed to put my dress on in the upstairs restroom with sitting area to wait, which turned out perfect.

I can't say enough great things about our experience. Nancy and Leslie were extremely helpful and knowledgeable and helped put our mind at ease about planning a wedding. They went out of their way to accommodate us and help make our wedding perfect. The food was delicious! We had some very hard to please guests and all of them (kids and adults) were extremely complimentary. No one could believe that it was wedding food! We also opted to do a desert buffet instead of a traditional cake. They did desert shooters, cookies, and all kinds of goodies which the guests raved about. You could tell that the entire staff cared about the wedding. The waiters, after learning that some of the guests were vegetarian, went and got additional vegetarian hors d'oeuvres to bring to them, and remembered they were vegetarian for the rest of the night. They also made sure that a sampling of hors d'oeuvres were waiting for us when we returned from taking pictures during the cocktail hour. When finding out that we were headed down to take additional pictures at sunset while the guests were getting food from the buffet, they made up our plates for us so dinner would be waiting when we got back. Have your wedding here! It was the perfect combination of being incredibly magical and unreal and everything we wanted it to be, while also feeling like we were being taken care of by family members who cared so much about everyone there.

We had our ceremony on the private dock at 11 am before the restaurant opened on March 9, 2019 and it was perfect. It was still quiet and uncrowded and our guests were awed with the blue sky. We then had our brunch reception upstairs at 11:30 in the Crystal Ballroom and although our ceremony was small with only 50 people, we were treated like we had booked the venue for 500. We were treated with attention and care through the whole process. They took care of everything which is exactly what we wanted. Nancy was very responsive to our questions through emails. We were even able to come in early that morning to add a few personal touches to the reception room. There was a miscommunication about champagne being served at the reception, but the staff quickly brought up 50 glasses of champagne to make sure we had it and allowed us to settle the bill afterwards for the correction. It was our perfect day and I would definitely recommend this venue.

The room was transformed into a magical dream … and then we were awed by a spectacular sunset! All the guests commented on how beautiful the venue was, good food, attentive staff. I was granted every request, and was given good suggestions by the wedding coordinator. I had complete confidence in here and never worried for a second! We had 70 guests and used about 3/4 of the dining area so many more would fit comfortably. We also had the service there - the staff decorated it really pretty. The ceremony space quickly transformed into the dance floor - which we kept full all night. Thank you Nancy and your team - terrific!

Nancy and her team at Bon Appetit exceeded our expectations! They were incredibly helpful, experienced, and friendly - they truly brought our vision to life! Our wedding day ran so smoothly and was more beautiful than we could have imagined! Nancy really took time to listen to our vision and did everything in her power to make sure our day was perfect, including watching the weather reports and ordering additional items needed the day before the event due to adverse weather conditions to ensure everything was perfect! The team was flexible with customizing our menu and packages to fit exactly what we were looking for and was very reasonable regarding price and time frame. Nancy ran the show for us and made our wedding day relaxing and fun for us - we didn't have to worry about a thing. We are so grateful for the excellent service we received and hope to host future events here!

We made an appointment with Nancy to look at the venue at 11:30 am. We were asked to take a seat and wait. Twice the staff went into Nancy’s office to let her know we were there, but we were told to keep on waiting. 40 minutes later a gentleman came and showed us the room, but could not answer a lot of the specific questions we had. At 12:30 pm when we had already left, Nancy called us to come back as she was now available. At that point we had already decided this was the wrong venue because of the unprofessional customer service. We felt it was too early in the process to have issues.

We had our reception on June 23 and it was nothing short of perfect. The food was absolutely amazing. Guests told me it was the best food they've ever had at a wedding. Nancy made everything very simple. They set up and clean up everything. The service was also excellent. The head server was right next to us the entire time to get us anything we needed. And then the view, absolutely breathtaking. I'm so happy we picked Bon Appetit and I would recommend it to anyone to make their wedding day easier!

Our wedding reception on May 5, 2018 was fabulous! The venue was decorated with class. The food was awesome! Nancy Williams and the Bon Apettit staff did an excellent job in the preparation of the ceremony venue, the reception area. We got the ultimate package and all are guests were very impressed! Most of the comments we heard: “ A wedding ceremony and wedding reception to remember” Thank you so much Bon Apettit!! Dan and Doris Scanella

Absolutely incredible!!! My husband, my family, friends and myself absolutely loved this venue! The staff was so kind and helpful! The food delicious! I couldn’t have asked for more! Everything was perfect! The staff went above and beyond my expectations carrying my plate, bringing me drinks, the bartender even had a wet cloth ready for me when I had cake smashed in my face! I seriously felt like a princess for the day! Of course the view is beautiful!!!! You can have a beautiful space but that means nothing without the hospitality and kindness of the banquet staff! I cannot say enough!!!

The Bon Appetit staff was super helpful in setting up everything for my wedding and helping me throughout the whole process. I thought everything went perfect and everyone at the wedding kept gushing about how beautiful the venue was. I would highly recommend this to anyone looking to get married.

We love Bon Appetit! We recently had our wedding reception there and found the staff and coordinators to be accommodating and professional. Both Nancy and Courtney were easy to get ahold of and responsive throughout the planning process. They make it very easy and spelled out, so there were no hidden surprises. Best of all: Everything went perfectly and my guests have not stopped raving about the food and the view!

Bon Appetit was the perfect location for our wedding. We found Nancy to be professional, creative and with much experience. She offered suggestions when asked but was all about making you create your dream day. We used many of the vendors that she recommended and we were very happy. The view from the Crystal Ballroom was magnificent. We especially liked that everything was in one area. We were married on one side of the room and then just walked over to the adjoining room for our reception. The food was excellent along with the service of the kitchen and bar staff. Awesome surroundings for photography. Our out of town guests took advantage of staying at the Best Western that shares the same parking lot. They were also thrilled that they could take a short walk to downtown Dunedin and enjoy the sh0ps and restaurants. Classy and affordable!

We had a beautiful summer wedding at Bon Appetit! The food and service were top notch and Nancy Williams was always available when we needed her. Since most of our family and friends were arriving from out of state, we blocked 20 rooms at the Best Western connected to this venue and they were able to walk to the many amenities that charming Dunedin has to offer!

Nancy and her staff were professional and detailed. The room has a fantastic view of St. Joseph's sound. During sunset everyone was "floored" by the views. Food was fantastic!!! The hotel next door was clean and bright. Having the hotel next door made it very easy for everyone to relax and have fun. I would highly recommend Bon Appetit for its attention to detail and creative suggestions.

I had my wedding ceremony and cocktail hour through Weddings on Sand Key Beach and there was nothing enjoyable about the experience. They are unresponsive and VERY inflexible. They have a cookie-cutter selection and do not let you have any input in the process. I heard more "NOs" from them than all of my other wedding vendors combine. They only have outside space and if it rains there is no cancellation policy - so you have to have your wedding under a tent that you(and your guests, wedding party, photographer) still have to walk a distance to get to in the rain. Luckily, it did not rain on my wedding but they have no contingency plan, your just SOL. Not only this, but the photography that comes as part of the package (because there are no changes allowed) DID NOT SHOW UP! I had my own photography that did a great job, but I paid for that part of the service and it was not provided. This company doesn't not care about providing a memorable service for your special day. Actually they created more stress throughout the whole process.

Our reception was great! We had very nice seating and live piano. The food and the service was awesome! Overall they accommodated us very well.

Bon Appetit is wonderful! The staff is excellent and they really go out of their way to make sure everything goes right. The food is awesome and the view is excellent!

Do not waste your time. There is no communication in this company. They booked our wedding at the same date, time, & boardwalk as another bride. Even better, they neglected to tell us such. The other bride and I put two & two together at our rehearsals the night before. All they want is your money and don't really care if you have to SHARE a ceremony site with another bride.

The food was pretty good! I wouldn't say that there was something I absolutely loved! There were hors de overs and I had the pork and mango chicken...it was okay! The people were great to work with!

We got married with this vendor located on Sand Key Beach in Sand Key Park. We stumbled upon them about a year ago when we started planning. We had no idea they existed and when we saw a tent on the beach, we were hooked. From the moment we spoke with Tina we knew this was the place. She was really supportive through the process. I heard good compliments about her from guests at the wedding. We married on October 8th and it was exactly what we expected and more. There were details with the food I didn't expect. I was satisfied. During the reception there was a bunch of employees all around I did not expect to see either. So many staff on hand it was great. The guests also were asking for the recipes. Everyone enjoyed the food and the selections were endless. No matter what you are looking for, simple or elegant, they can cater to your needs. Give them a shot, especially if you want a romantic sunset setting, that turn to a beach party at night!

SOOOOOO amazing and wonderful! The staff was awesome, so accommodating and gracious. The view is breathtaking as well. I would highly recommend this venue to anyone considering it!

Customer service was amazing and the food yum! This was the perfect place for my wonderful reception meal and the view!! Outstanding

GREAT FOOD, OCEAN VIEW, DOCK AREA. EVERYONE LOVED IT!!!

We had our wedding and reception at the Bon Appetit Restaurant and Marina. They were wonderful to work with and gave us everything we needed to make our wedding not only beautiful and memorable for us, but also for our friends and family. Our wedding was right before sunset and you couldn't ask for a more breathtaking view. You will not be dissabpointed.
