There are many places for our out-of-town guests to stay, since the area is such a "hot" destination. We have listed for you several that aren't far from ceremony/reception site, and have offered a wedding discount. Remember though that you're going to be spending time very near the coast, so you may want to choose a location that offers beach-front views!
Although the hotels listed are several miles from our wedding location, they aren't a long driving distance. There are no hotels at the same exit as our wedding, so these are just a little north on I-75. The Hilton at the Sarasota-Bradenton Airport is great for anyone flying in, but is rather out of the way for most other guests. The AmericInn or Hampton Inn would be a great choice for those of you making a road trip to see us. :)
