What to know about ballrooms, oceanfront ceremony spaces, and entertainment logistics before you book your wedding or corporate event at this Ponte Vedra Beach resort.
Sawgrass Marriott Golf Resort & Spa sits at 1000 Tournament Players Club Blvd in Ponte Vedra Beach, with over 90,000 square feet of flexible indoor and outdoor event space. As a full-scale Marriott resort with golf, spa, and oceanfront access, it's built to handle everything from a large wedding to a multi-day corporate conference.
The resort's scale is its main differentiator from smaller boutique venues — multiple ballrooms operating simultaneously, on-site accommodations for out-of-town guests, and full catering and event planning support in-house. Its location in Ponte Vedra Beach, minutes from TPC Sawgrass and the PGA Tour's headquarters, also makes it a natural fit for golf-adjacent corporate retreats and destination weddings where guests are flying in for the weekend.
| Space | Capacity / Feature |
|---|---|
| Arbor Ballroom | Up to 1,300 guests, wraparound porch over a marsh |
| Costa del Sol Ballroom | Grand receptions |
| Cascade Lawn | Outdoor ceremonies framed by a waterfall |
| Cabana Beach Club | Oceanfront ceremonies, up to ~180 guests |
The Arbor Ballroom is the resort's largest indoor space and the one most often booked for weddings and galas that need to seat well over a thousand guests, with a wraparound porch overlooking a marsh that couples frequently use for cocktail hour. The Costa del Sol Ballroom offers a mid-size alternative for receptions that don't need the Arbor's full scale, while the Cascade Lawn and Cabana Beach Club give couples two very different outdoor ceremony settings — one framed by a landscaped waterfall, the other directly on the Atlantic.
Oceanfront ceremonies at the Cabana Beach Club, waterfall-framed outdoor space at the Cascade Lawn, and grand ballroom receptions with full on-site catering and accommodations for guests. Couples planning a wedding weekend benefit from having a rehearsal dinner space, ceremony site, and reception ballroom all under one roof, plus enough guest rooms that out-of-town family doesn't need to book a separate hotel.
The resort is a genuine conference destination — large-capacity ballrooms, breakout meeting space, and golf and spa amenities make it a common choice for multi-day corporate events and client retreats. Sales kickoffs, board retreats, and association conferences all use the same event infrastructure that weddings do, just configured for general sessions and breakout tracks instead of ceremony and reception.
With four very different spaces on one property, the right choice usually comes down to guest count, weather tolerance, and how much of the day you want spent outdoors. A wedding of 150 guests planning an oceanfront ceremony followed by a ballroom reception needs a very different logistics and entertainment plan than a 40-person board retreat using a single breakout room for two days straight.
Outdoor spaces like the Cascade Lawn and Cabana Beach Club are beautiful but weather-dependent, so it's worth asking the resort's events team about their indoor backup plan before you finalize a ceremony location — and worth telling your DJ or entertainment company which backup room is in play, so a same-day switch doesn't turn into a scramble. Indoor ballroom events avoid that risk entirely but trade away the ocean or waterfall backdrop that draws many couples to this property in the first place.
Because Sawgrass Marriott operates multiple ballrooms and outdoor venues simultaneously, your DJ needs to confirm the exact space booked well in advance — sound, power, and load-in logistics differ significantly between an oceanfront ceremony at the Cabana Beach Club and an indoor reception in the Arbor Ballroom.
What we'd confirm before your event: which ballroom or outdoor space you've booked, load-in routes and timing through the resort's catering and events team, and power access for any oceanfront or lawn setup.
As a Northeast Florida DJ and event entertainment company, we coordinate directly with the resort's event staff on these details for both weddings and corporate events.

The Arbor Ballroom is the resort's largest space, accommodating up to 1,300 guests with a wraparound porch over a marsh, while the Costa del Sol Ballroom is a mid-size alternative better suited to receptions or meetings that don't need the Arbor's full capacity.
The resort's events team can advise on indoor backup space for outdoor ceremonies at the Cascade Lawn or Cabana Beach Club; it's worth confirming that backup room with your planner and sharing it with your DJ ahead of time so a weather change doesn't turn into a same-day scramble.
Because the resort has multiple ballrooms plus oceanfront and lawn outdoor spaces, your DJ needs a setup plan matched to the specific space you've booked, along with load-in coordination.
