Choosing Your Perfect Beach:

Consider the seclusion of Coca Beach, the liveliness of Miami Beach, or the natural beauty of Key Biscayne and the Florida Keys. We have done all the research to help you with everything you need for any beach from Cocoa Beach and Port Canaveral south to the Florida Keys.
• Sunset Spectacle: Remember, the ceremony revolves around the sunset. We know the sunset times throughout the year to choose the ideal date and time for optimal lighting and avoid peak beach hours.  Though we cannot ever predict the weather, we have planned thousands of beach weddings and can help with any aspects of planning a sunset beach wedding and what to do and what to expect.

Different beaches have varying regulations and we know them all so you don’t have to waste your time.    Each location has different fees and some areas are more sought after than others.  But again, we will help you with everything.
• Embrace the Elements: Opt for lightweight, wind-resistant decor like flowing fabrics and sand anchors. Utilize natural elements like seashells, driftwood, and lanterns for a touch of beachy elegance.
• Seating and Comfort: Provide comfortable seating options like cushioned chairs or beach blankets for your guests. Consider offering shade umbrellas or parasols to protect them from the sun.  

Logistics and Vendors:

• Tides and Time: We are very mindful of the tide schedule and will avoid having your ceremony interrupted by rising water. Factor in travel time for guests, especially if the ceremony location is remote.  Parking can be an issue on many beaches throughout South Florida.  We know amazing private locations with parking that is accessible.  As our goal and mission is to make your destination Sunset Beach Weding in Florida a stress-free experience.
