What’s So Great about Sarasota, Florida Beach Weddings?
If you are looking for a great place to exchange your vows near the warm waters on the Gulf Coast of Florida, you’ll be happy to know out that there are three distinct locations for beach weddings in Sarasota, Florida.
- At the North, you may consider a Longboat Key Wedding at a luxury romantic seaside resort hotel.
- Just West of downtown Sarasota, is Lido Beach, known for its fabulous white sand and home of the very trendy St. Armands Circle shopping district
- A few miles further South and West of Sarasota, is Siesta Key, voted in 2011 by Dr. Beach as the Best Beach in the U.S.
In the Sarasota area, you can book a beach wedding package where the ceremony details are all taken care of, yet you have total freedom regarding your lodging and reception including the freedom to depart directly on your honeymoon. Or, you can contract a full out wedding package at a resort that will include your ceremony at the surf’s edge as well as reception, honeymoon, guest accommodations and more, all right there!
Siesta Key Weddings
On a recent Florida vacation, I happened to see couples tying the knot on the broad powdery white sand of Siesta Key. From a respectful distance, I also saw one couple and their guests enjoying private entertainment on the sand next to their condo property. And, on a separate occasion, another newlywed couple could be seen in the middle of a photo shoot of their Siesta Key union. I must also mention the bride that was very excited to be photographed in her gown, dancing at the weekly drum circle.
After exchanging vows on the cool powder white sand beach as the sun lowers in the sky, Siesta Key has a number of condo resorts, guest houses and at least one high-end restaurant where you may host your intimate reception
Longboat Key Weddings
Consider your Longboat Key wedding at the Longboat Key Club and Resort, “Southwest Florida’s most romantic beach resort” Their “Say I Do” package includes a 2 night honeymoon, special pricing on ceremony, rooms, spa service and photography plus custom menu creation. Venues include ballrooms, the pool terrace on the Gulf, or right by the water. Their specialists can arrange linens, entertainment, décor and flowers too!
Lido Beach Weddings
The Lido Beach Resort offers full flight packages with ceremonies on the sand, gulf view accommodations and intimate to black-tie receptions and a farewell brunch to say adieu to guests before going on your honeymoon.
For your reception following your ceremony on the beach, choose a rooftop banquet room at The Holiday Inn Lido Beach. You’ll enjoy panoramic views of the Gulf and the city of Sarasota as the staff helps you to celebrate a most-memorable wedding day.
