Planning Your Florida Beach Wedding
Florida is your destination for beach wedding bliss
The soothing waves, the pristine white sand, the breathtaking sunsets — there is nowhere quite like a Florida beach for your wedding. Whether you’re dreaming of an intimate elopement or a big beach bash, Florida is the perfect destination to start your forever together.
How to Plan a Beach Wedding in Florida
Planning a wedding takes a lot of work, and if you’re considering a Florida beach wedding, there are a few more things to consider. Time of year, time of day, inside or outside venue — but don’t worry, we can help!
- Check the temperatures in your desired destination during your planned wedding month.
- Consider the West Coast for a gorgeous sunset ceremony, or the East Coast if you’re looking for a sunrise occasion.
- Make sure your venue has an inclement weather plan, just in case.
- If you’re planning a destination wedding, research accommodations and a few fun activities for your traveling guests.
Make it a Wedding Weekend
Weddings have never truly been a single day affair. There’s always been a tradition of bridal showers and rehearsal dinners, and now farewell brunches are popular. If you or a large portion of your guests are traveling from out of town, you may want to coordinate several events near your wedding venue. We make it easy to plan your entire beach wedding weekend! Our unique ensemble of beach wedding venues allows us to cater to events of all sizes — from an intimate bridal party rehearsal dinner to a fun, farewell brunch with your closest friends and family.
Florida Beach Wedding Venues
Florida beaches are a popular tourist and wedding destination, with more venue choices than a bride could ever imagine. When searching for your perfect Florida beach wedding venue, consider your guest size, your plans for inside or outside ceremony and reception, time of day and time of year, and if you plan to have a reception at the same site as your ceremony. Anna Maria Island Venues offers four unique venues to suit every bride’s desire. Whether you’re planning an intimate wedding with just your family or a large reception with a full buffet and a few hours of dancing, we have the perfect Florida beach wedding venue for you.
