Sarasota - There are a number of excellent areas in Sarasota for weddings but what is most popular is the beaches, both Turtle Beach and Siesta Key Beach.  Siesta Key beach has some of the best sand in the world.  The only drawback is that it is quite busy during the day and at sunset.  There can be literally thousands on people on the beach.  Some couples find this invigorating and others prefer something less busy such as Turtle Beach to the south or even Venice, Port Charlotte/Punta Gorda a half hour to an hour south. 

Selby Gardens, Sarasota (see below)

 

FORT MYERS BEACH -- Beautiful wide beach South of the busy traffic in the main area of Fort Myers Beach.    Traffic Jams do occur on the bridge leading to Fort Myers Beach, so allow for extra time.    If you are staying on the island, this is less of a potential problem.  This is an excellent spot for a Fort Myers Beach Wedding especially at sunrise and sunset.   See links page at www.berry-counseling.com for range of accommodations on Fort Myers Beach.  Lots of restaurants up and down the beach and nice hotels.  Contact us to see if your date is available.

SANIBEL ISLAND - Beautiful beach location on the Gulf, parking available, excellent picture taking opportunities.  Drawback - toll bridge to get to island at $6 per car may be costly for couples with many guests.  Bridge to island can also be crowded so expect a long wait in season and often off season.  Lots of restaurants and accommodations on the island.  See links page under Sanibel for accommodation possibilities. Contact us to see if your date is available.

SIESTA KEY or TURTLE BEACH  Sarasota- Midnight Pass on the Siesta Key Island is often a busy road but a little less busy at the south end near Turtle Beach.  Wedding Ceremony can be celebrated in the pavilion or right on the beach.  The covered pavilion can be rented but must be reserved well ahead of time. (Call Siesta Key Chamber of Commerce) There are picnic tables, washrooms, and parking spots.  Often bands use the pavilion for parties so electricity must be available.  Lots of condos and small resorts for overnight accommodations.  Upscale restaurants and a quaint village with outdoor seating at some outdoor cafe's and restaurants.  Siesta Key Beach is much busier but popular.  Contact us to see if your date is available.   Turtle Beach on Siesta Key

Sarasota Gardens - Open Gardens, Tiki Gardens or Gazebo - We can bring a wedding arch if you prefer the open or tiki gardens.  Rice or confetti is not permitted.  If you require seating, we can supply you wish a list of rental companies.  Open 9-5 pm - Music provided (volume is kept low) - Electrical outlets available.

 


 

NAPLES -  - Beautiful  beach weddings ceremonies in the sand right on the beach.  Parking can be a problem if there are many guests.  This area has beautiful restaurants, shops many with outdoor tables in an upscale atmosphere. Excellent bakery in the area.  Possible drawback - the gazebo is not on the beach but if that is not a problem, it is a beautiful spot near many amenities. There is a fee for rental of this gazebo payable to the City of Naples.  We have many other locations on Naples Beach.  Naples has much traffic so travelling to the location can be more difficult than other areas such as Englewood Beach.   Contact us to see if your date is available.



                                                                                 

 

NAPLES - LOWDERMILK PARK - Lots of parking but be sure to park where there are meters or expect a fine in short order.  Gazebos are on the grounds, banyan trees, pond and green lawns for pictures.  The beach is somewhat crowded and traffic is a problem, but many weddings still take place on it.    This park is located right in the city on the beach.  You must call Lowdermilk Parks Department in Naples for a permit.  Contact us to see if your date is available.  Alternative see www.berry-counseling.com/gilcreat_park.htm

NAPLES BEACH - SEAGATE SOUTH (41 & PINE RIDGE ROAD TRAM AT REGISTRY) - There a parking lot/park at the bottom of Seagate Street.  After parking walk towards the south end of the lot and a free tram acts as transportation over wooden walkways to the beach.  The trams also leave from the Registry Hotel but are not limited to it.  Many bridal couples get on the tram at either juncture and have their weddings on the beach.  It is a beautiful location and can be less busy than the prior two Naples locations.  If you get off the tram midway on the walkways, it is a beautiful spot for pictures to go along with those taken on the beach.  A lovely spot if you do not mind accessing the beach by tram.

* Most waterfront hotels will allow us to perform your wedding right there on the beach.


Bonita Beach Park Bonita Springs- Beautiful Beach, parking for $, washrooms, gazebo type shelters.  Good spot if you want to stay in the Bonita Springs area.  Less busy at sunrise or sunset.   It is not as picturesque as the gazebos in Charlotte Harbor but is suitable for a local crowd. 
                      Bonita Springs - Riverside Park In Town (not beach)
