The Best Florida Wedding Venues
It’s easy to understand why Florida is a hot-spot location to host a destination wedding. With white sand beaches and favorable weather year-round, couples and their guests can make wedding weekend into a beach vacation with something to offer for all. As long as you’re within the U.S., no passport needed to jet off to a beautiful, almost-Caribbean Florida Beach.
The Bridal Retreat’s wedding planners Kristin Sullivan and Brittany Morrell both live and work in Florida, so they are truly the Florida wedding venue experts! Below is a roundup of some of their favorite past and upcoming wedding venues in Florida. As always, you tell us what you want for your wedding, and we help with the rest!
Our Top 5 Florida Wedding Venues:
The Palm Tree Escape Airbnb: Experience waterfront bliss at Kristin’s riverside suite in Fort Myers Shores, Florida. Kristin’s 1 bed 1 bath Airbnb has dedicated dock space, where you can dock a boat to get married or get married at a golf course down the road. You tell us what you want for your wedding and we can help fill in all the blanks—officiant, flowers, music, food!
The Beachhouse: This 5 bed/4 bath “ocean oasis” in IslaMorada, FL makes it easy to envision enjoying every moment of your wedding week. The contemporary (yet beachy) inside offers enough space to entertain nightly meals or happy hour for your guests. In addition, there’s a beautiful, resort-style, private pool overlooking the beach.
