1. Location, Location, Location
They say a picture is worth a thousand words. We are surrounded by beautiful beaches, bordered by sea oats, palm trees, dunes, and boardwalks. Most of our couples choose a beach setting for their ceremony, with the Gulf of Mexico providing a stunning backdrop to the ceremony. The ceremony space is relaxed and welcoming, and the beach provides an ideal location for group photos and portraits of the happy couple. We have a dedicated page on our website to show you more detail about our preferred Florida beach wedding locations.
2. Sunsets
The West Coast of Florida in particular is famous for golden sunsets over the Gulf of Mexico. Although each day can be slightly different and the weather varies, sunset is the most popular time of day for our couples to say “I Do”, hoping for that perfect golden hour. Take a look at our Sunset beach wedding gallery for more inspiration.
3. Easy to reach
Tampa International Airport is less than an hour’s drive away and is a hub for guests traveling from inside the US or from further afield.
4. Lots of places to stay
The area around St. Pete Beach, Madeira Beach, Clearwater, and Treasure Island is a popular destination for tourists, so there are many accommodation choices ranging from hotels, to beach houses, to quaint cottages and resorts. Suncoast Weddings couples may be eligible for a discount, so if you’re interested in staying in local accommodation as a couple or as an entire wedding party, ask us for more information.

With a soundtrack of the waves, and soft sand as the aisle, the beach is seen by many as their ‘happy place’. Where better then to exchange vows and say “I do” or “We still do” in the case of a vow renewal? If the beach wasn’t already the perfect setting, then it is amped up at sunset with ‘golden hour’. Romantic portraits of the couple at the shoreline as the sun sets over the horizon are dreamt of by many. When there are so many choices to be made over where and when, one look at these pictures shows how a magical setting can be both stress-free and romantic.
