Dream Wedding Locations on the Beach

Listed on the National Register of Historic Places and named a historical monument by the National Archives, The Don CeSar (known locally at the "Pink Palace") is as rich in luxury as it is in history. It’s no wonder the hotel hosts over 400 weddings a year—the backdrop could hardly be more stunning. After all, is located right on the #1 Beach in America(Tripadvisor, 2021)! A sweeping staircase and tropical garden overlooking the Gulf provide ideal venues for vows, and a private passage though the sea oats and sand dunes allows brides to make a stunning entrance at water’s edge. For those who prefer indoor festivities, vintage ballrooms allow wedding guests to dance the night away amid Gatsby-era splendor.

Spanning 20 tropical acres and overlooking the Gulf of Mexico, TradeWinds Island Grand Resort is located on the white sand beaches of St. Pete Beach, voted the No. 1 beach destination in the U.S. by Tripadvisor's 2021 Travelers' Choice Award. Wedding guests will have no shortage of things to do here: TradeWinds Island Grand offers 11 different dining and entertainment venues, including several beach bars; beachfront massages and facials at the Body Works Salon & Spa; restful lounging in the beach cabanas and alongside five heated pools; plus an endless array of water adventures. Fancy an exotic wedding? This resort can fulfill your personal wedding visions. Exchange your vows on the sand or a wooden gazebo beneath a towering pine, stage your rehearsal dinner on a pontoon boat, launch your cocktails steps from the beach and say your goodbyes at breakfast by the pool.

Expansive balconies in each of this resort’s sun-filled rooms and suites frame captivating views of alabaster sands and spectacular shorelines. Stage your wedding ceremony on a grassy lawn overlooking the Gulf, or in a garden oasis with a waterfall; serve cocktails in the garden or in a ballroom with panoramic Gulf views; and follow up with a world-class dinner with dishes that evoke your family heritage or memories of your first date. After the last dance, take the celebration outside, to the beach.

Poised between the turquoise waters of the Gulf of Mexico and the picturesque Intracoastal Waterway, Hyatt Regency Clearwater Beach Resort & Spa not only delivers an idyllic location for your wedding but also plenty of sophistication, comfort and ease.
