Anyone who loves warm weather and beaches would have to love a Florida wedding. Florida is the place where you can have your choice of many diverse venues and good weather any time of year.

For the Budget Conscious Bride and Groom

Florida is just a few hours by car from many states, and there are great honeymoon options at a great value nearby. Have a lovely beach wedding choosing from a wide variety of locations for less than $400 and then visit one of Florida’s many great theme parks such as Busch Gardens or Disney World without breaking the bank. Many short cruises from relatively inexpensive cruise lines depart from Florida year round.

Many Other Packages are Available

Several more wedding packages under $3,000 are available featuring great beach locations such as Sanibel Island, Captiva Island, Siesta Key, and Anna Maria Island as well as many Florida cities. Some of the packages include live music, flowers, seating, and photographer or videographer services. A wedding consultant is available for many packages, but food for guests and travel must be purchased separately. Every package including the one for under $400 include the officiant and the marriage license which is delivered from the wedding package service. Perhaps the most valuable service include with the upgraded wedding packages which start at $1199 is the unlimited consultation with a wedding consultant who can help you access everything from live music to a hairdresser to a limo. Travel advice is available as well. The consultant will provide assistance in locating possible reception venues but you are on your own regarding arranging the food service regardless of the package you select.

Yacht Weddings

A more all-inclusive option for a Florida wedding is a yacht wedding which can start at $50 per guest and includes buffet style food and beverages, a wedding cake and entertainment in addition to the ceremony. For this option there will be other guests on the ship. There is also a private yacht option that does not come with a buffet, though you can arrange for food, beverages and a wedding cake. The private yachts can accommodate 130 guests and the prices which must be obtained by consulting the service provider do include the ship’s captain and crew.

Beach Wedding Venue Features

Any beach venue in Florida can be made special by the addition of a special tent for the ceremony. Called beach decorations by the wedding consultants, these temporary structures create a space on the beach that can serve as the focal point for the ceremony and photos. One version even simulates an aisle with small tropical trees lining a path leading up to the structure.

Professional Photography

Included in the base price for some packages and an option in most other packages, a CD photo montage as well as all of your photo negatives are included.

A Few Final Thoughts

With over a dozen possible venues, several package deals as well as ala carte options, and enough variation in the options for beach décor; you can avoid the cookie cutter while still having a relaxed experience. Florida beach wedding packages allow you to focus on beginning your new life together while still having a fairy tale wedding.
