With so many homes built along the ocean shore, you can choose from plenty of options for your Florida beach house wedding and reception.
Our team of professional planners has planned weddings from Cape Canaveral to the Florida Keys.

We have also planned beach house weddings and receptions throughout the state, so we can help you find the perfect match for your wedding.
The key is deciding which area suits you best, as the towns and beaches differ from Cocoa Beach to South Beach. Finding the best location for your Florida Beach House wedding and reception all depends on your vision for your big day. You can keep it simple and relish in the beach’s natural beauty. Or, you can go big, lavish, and extravagant and make your wedding an affair for the ages. It all depends on you, your budget, and your style.
Finding the Best Location
Every beach in South Florida has a different vibe. Your vision will determine the best location for your Florida Beach House wedding and reception.
Since there are so many miles of coastline, homes are available all over the state. We can help you find homes with private beaches so your wedding will feel like a private island.
Hutchinson Island
Our favorite area is the towns along Hutchinson Island. This pristine coastal island has not yet been overrun with development. So, there are large stretches of beach where you will not see a single building. Within this area, there are several amazing homes that are just perfect for a Florida Beach House Wedding and Reception. If you want more information, check out this website of plenty of options for beach houses for your big day, Beach Houses in Paradise. (PSST, tell them Wedding Bells and SeaShells sent you).

The Florida Keys
If a lush tropical paradise with legendary sunsets is what you are looking for, this is it. There are lots of great oceanfront beach houses that are amazing for private events. However, it does come at a price. But, if you want the destination tropical wedding, it is all waiting for you here. From Key Largo, Islamorada, Marathon, to Key West, there are plenty of great homes that are available for your private, island oceanfront beach wedding and reception.
Cocoa Beach, Cape Canaveral, and the Space Coast
There are plenty of great options for beach houses in the Cocoa Beach area. This includes Melbourne and the Sebastian area as well, as there are great options throughout this entire coastline. One of the best aspects is that this is the closest beach to Orlando and all the theme parks. The beaches are long and perfect for family outings. It has a laid-back beach town type of feel and is perfect for a low-key getaway.
Vero Beach
There are some very nice options in the Vero Beach area as well. This is a slower-paced area, not as much nightlife, and has a high seasonal beach population. But, all the more reason to take advantage of the off season, easier to get reservations and prices are generally much lower. If you are looking for a slower-paced, low-key vibe, this would be an excellent option for you.
The Palm Beaches
There are several key areas along the Palm Beaches. However, not many great affordable oceanfront beach homes can be used for private events. There are plenty of homes that can be, but they generally are much higher to rent and are just not in the general conversation as affordable. Here are some options in the towns along Palm Beach.
- Jupiter – not too many homes on the beach, but there are some nice options in the area. The last holdout for beautiful not overly developed beaches, makes this beach one of the best in all of South Florida.
- West Palm Beach – fewer options that won’t break the bank but some exist.
- Boynton Beach – there is going to be a theme here; there are some great options, but most anything on the water is going to be expensive.
- Delray Beach – there are some very nice options within walking distance to the beach. But it is very limited on the beach due to restrictions.
- Boca Raton has many restrictions, but some very nice options exist.
Fort Lauderdale and the Surrounding Area
Similarly, the Fort Lauderdale area, including; Deerfield Beach, Pompano Beach, Lauderdale by the Sea, Hollywood, Dania, and the Hallandale beaches, are all similar. Not many affordable options that are oceanfront. But, there are some great optiosn that a short drive or within walking distance to the beach.

Private Beach House Wedding & Reception in South Florida
Why have a beach house wedding?
- Convenience: The most significant advantage is the convenience of walking right out of the house to your wedding. As many brides will tell you, it is always the easiest of processes to get everything ready on such a big day. From the hair and makeup, dealing with all your family and friends, and putting on the dress. It really can be a hassle. So, staying in the beach house to get ready makes it just so easy for brides and grooms alike. Many homes are large enough that you can be in the same home but still be kept apart.
- All-inclusive, and save lodging costs: Another of the best aspects of choosing to rent a house on the beach for your wedding is having everything you need in one place. So, it is like combining the wedding location, the hotel, and the reception venue all together. When you look at it this way, the cost of some luxurious homes may not seem so spectacular especially if you want to spend time with your family and make it a destination vacation. Many homes are large enough to house multiple groups or families. So, the cost of renting the home can be offset by sharing the time with your closest friends and family
- Completely Customizable: If you stay in a beach house, you have total control over your ceremony and reception. Want something small, simple, and romantic? There is no minimum for your guest list. Would you prefer a more immense soiree with the whole family? We can make that happen, too. Check out our Build Your Own Package tool to customize your ceremony. You can even bring your dog!
- Perfect for micro-weddings: Talk about how many people a beach house can accommodate and how they’re great for smaller weddings with an intimate group of people. Talk about the “chill” and “relaxed” aspects, and can have an intimate setting without time limits or venue restrictions. I would also include mentions of the ideal guest list number for a beach house weddings to give a sense of what works best

Booking a Beach House with AirBnB or VRBO
There is always the possibility of finding that hidden gem through AirBnB and VRBO. We have found plenty through both services. Typically owners that allow for events are understanding and are cool with having gathering. There might be additional fees to cover the “unforeseen” but it usually isn’t too much.
