Beach Weddings Gulf Coast


Many couples are coming to Florida to have their dream beach wedding. The beautiful emerald waters of the Gulf of Mexico, the sugar white sand and the breath taking sunsets make for a beautiful beach wedding. In this article, I will answer some of the most frequently asked questions about having a beach wedding.
Where do I begin?
The best place to start is to set your actual wedding date. Once you have your date set then you will need to find your wedding planner or coordinator or the company that will provide your wedding ceremony on the beach and secure the date with them first.
They are typically the first vendor to book up quickly. You should be aware that weekend sunset times book the fastest between March and October.

What if it rains?
This tends to be the most asked question when planning a beach wedding. It is the worry of most brides. During the wedding season you will typically find morning or afternoon showers if there is a threat of rain. Most wedding companies will make sure you have a backup plan in place. These would include pavilions at parks, reception halls, banquet room in your condo/hotel, or a beautiful balcony at your beach house. A lot of times you may be able to wait 5 or 10 minutes until a sprinkle has moved on.

Where should I hold a reception?
There are many places to hold your beach wedding reception. You can hold a tented affair right on the beach or lawn of a park. There are many great restaurants offering wide variety of food and entertainment. Many couples will have a party at their beach house. Condo’s and hotels offer banquet rooms with in house catering. You can cater and decorate on your own at one of the many beach pavilions where your ceremony takes place.


There are many more questions, tips, and advice to be given when planning a destination beach wedding. 98% of Florida beach weddings are planned by couples who live in another state. Rely on your wedding planner or wedding ceremony provider to help guide you through the process. You will be less stressed and able to enjoy the day and all it offers.

Congratulations! We hope to see you on the Beaches of Florida!
