Services
Marvin was a wonderful Father, Brother and Grandfather, who dedicated his life to the Lord. He loved to host parties and family reunions, and was the most caring, giving individual one might ever have the pleasure of meeting. It is because of his love of this land, and his generosity to man, that we believe he is smiling from above at our new adventure on the property!
What is the maximum capacity for Marvin's Pass? We are able to comfortably accommodate 200 people for seated events including Ceremony and Reception. Our venue is plenty spacious, however, parking does become an issue with more than 200. Does your venue accommodate more than one event on the same day, and how long to we have the venue.
No Outside Alcohol Permitted (Outside Alcohol brought in by guests will be confiscated and guests subject to dismissal). Kegs Must Be Purchased from the Local Waterin' Hole Liquor Store if you are providing free of charge to your guests. No Open Containers to Leave Premises (Including All Kegs; We Will Return to the Waterin' Hole).
The ceremony will take place at Holmes Beach on the beautiful Anna Maria Island. There is a beach access point located right next to Angelinos Sea Lodge. We have provided a picture of the beach access walkway so that you know that you're in the right place! The bride and groom are so thankful that you have decided to share their special day with them.
Excellent Customer Service and Assistance with Planning Designed to Meet Your Personal Needs. Trash bags and trash bag removal are on us! However, when you leave the venue for the evening, it should look as beautiful as when you arrived! Or, for an additional $250 fee, leave the clean up to us! Parking attendants, and assistance with decor are part of our unique family owned atmosphere.

Where do I start?! Planning my wedding felt so overwhelming , but Jen relieved that feeling literally after the first conversation! The process was easy and affordable. The interest free payment plan was definitely a blessing. I worked with Jen for my Pass-A-Grille Beach wedding and she and her team are literally life savers. I wish I could give them 1000 stars! It rained allll day but they worked hard to find a new place for our reception and I didn’t have to worry. All of my guests are still raving about the wedding cake (lol!). The photographer that Jen works with was AMAZING. She exceeded

My wedding day turned out beautiful & was everything I ever wanted it to be!! The only things I would wanted different would have been
1. DJ closer to the tent area so everyone could hear when things like special dances etc were being announced I had a lot of people say they didn’t even know til they saw us up dancing with our song on!
2. Bride/Bridesmaids come around 3/330 instead of groom/groomsmen only because bride takes atleast 30 mins to get ready there and that cuts into the time to take pics which the guys already come ready!!
Other then those two things everything was perfect & im

Marvin’s Pass will always hold a special place in my heart. Being a bride is not easy at times but Jen simply takes all the stress in herself to make your special night stress free. From the outdoor dance floor, to the beautiful barn, and the special story behind the property.. it was the perfect spot for my wedding! I felt at home on Jen’s property. I wish i could give more than just 5 stars here, highly recommend!!

I just had my wedding here 10/17/2020 and I have to say it was so perfect. The staff was amazing to my husband and I. They kept us up to date about everything during the whole ceremony/ reception. We had such a blast. They were very professional and treated us with respect. Everything was how we wanted it to be. This was our dream wedding and we couldn’t be more thankful we got to have Jen by our side and help us out with everything. I highly recommend coming here you will not be disappointed!

I would definitely NOT recommend this venue to anyone after experiencing what happened at my niece's wedding last month. While the area is very pretty, in a natural and rustic setting, it certainly needs many improvements. The grass and yard area were overgrown and uneven, a hazard to walk in any kind of heels or dress shoes. The restrooms in the little barn type building had a raised entry way that was a definite hazard to anyone with a walking disability and not at all handicap accessible, as well as there was no running water in the ladies, we had hand sanitizer and paper towels. We had traveled

OMG! I cannot say enough about Marvin's Pass! We had our wedding there last night and it was INCREDIBLE! Jen and her team were so attentive to our every want and need and so much fun! Everything was perfect! We booked back in April and Jen has been kind from the start! The grounds were beautiful, she did so much of the set up and it was just gorgeous! The entire night flowed perfectly! The price is just right as well! Most of it is all inclusive so you don't have to worry about a ton of different things! They even do the clean up for you! When I say it could not have been any better, I truly mean

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Marvin's Pass, Jen, and her team. As a maid of honor in a wedding on 10/3, it was such a relief to have Jen taking charge and care of every detail of our afternoon. She was attentive, knowledgeable but flexible when we needed a change or 2. She made sure she or her team handled any issue that came up so that the new Mr. & Mrs. never knew there was an issue and enjoyed every minute of their day. I'm sure you can see from the pictures, the venue is gorgeous....especially at night with the lights! Thanks to ALL who made the day so perfect!!!!!

This was the perfect venue for our little wedding! We had about 20 people and everyone was comfortable, relaxed and having a great time. Lots of locations for our photographer to use and ample parking. Thanks for helping me marry my best friend in a beautiful and memorable setting. God bless!

Where do I start? My husband and I met Jen back in 2016 to capture our first wedding at Marvin's Pass...This woman is wonder woman!! She goes above and beyond what you ask or desire (her whole family does). She is the most selfless venue owner I have met. They are some of the sweetest people you will meet as well. She is constantly doing whatever it takes to make your day as special as can be. I love this venue! There are so many beautiful areas to take photos at! I have never had a venue owner call me and coordinate with me for the wedding day until I met Jen. She always has a plan and a schedule
