Beach Weddings

Be assured: There’s a beach here to suit your style, from remote, undeveloped Caladesi Island to low-key beach communities such as Indian Shores and Sunset Beach). And beach communities such as St. Pete Beach, Treasure Island and Clearwater Beach are home to hotels and resorts ( some with in-house wedding planners) that are just steps from the Gulf.

Unique Settings to Wow Your Guests

Check out Sunken Gardens, Nova 535, the Poynter Institute and the St. Museum of Fine Arts St. Petersburg – all are gorgeous backdrops if your heart is set on a wedding in or near downtown St. Pete. If you crave a magical waterfront venue with amazing views and flexible indoor/outdoor options, the Tampa Bay Watch headquarters near Tierra Verde is a top choice (bonus: your rental fee goes to this environmental nonprofit’s operating costs). And we’d be remiss if we didn’t mention the St. Petersburg Shuffleboard Club, a popular open-air venue with a delightful Old Florida vibe.

And if it’s a “little white church” wedding you’ve been dreaming of, notable options include Harborside Chapel in Safety Harbor and Palm Harbor’s White Chapel.
