Treasure Island, FL -- (ReleaseWire) -- 12/22/2021 --Beach weddings and vow renewals are popular for many reasons, including being able to build in a vacation or honeymoon within the same trip. Eloping in Florida is popular when the couple alone travel to say "I Do" although it is also true that many family and friends travel with the happy couple on their destination wedding journey to Florida, staying in the same beach house or nearby so the entire vacation becomes a celebration, with the wedding being the main event. For families who don't know each other well, this is a great way to mix and mingle and get to know the new extended family. Another way to break down the barriers of bringing two families together is to put a sign at the event stating "today two families are becoming one, so pick a seat, not a side". Beach wedding signs are a popular choice and there is a wide selection that can be rented from Suncoast Weddings, premier wedding planners on the west coast of Florida, based in Treasure Island. Another popular sign is to tell family and friends that the wedding will be an unplugged ceremony. This sign states "Welcome to our unplugged ceremony. We invite you to be fully present during our ceremony. Please turn off all cell phones and cameras and enjoy this moment with us". About one-third of the couples getting married with Suncoast Weddings are lucky enough to be local to the area and select their favorite local beach for their vows.
One way to extend the celebration is to add on a reception to follow the wedding. There are many options possible after a beach wedding ranging from a small reception with a cake on the beach, to a buffet-style dinner in a beach-side pavilion, to a more traditional venue with a dance floor and a DJ, to a dinner cruise reception at sunset. Morning weddings may be followed by a toast of orange juice and a selection of pastries, donuts, and cake. Bundling the reception into a package with Suncoast Weddings keeps all of the costs in one place, making it easier to track the budget and stay within a target price range. Having one point of contact is also a bonus, as changes may need to be coordinated across the wedding ceremony and the reception when the number of guests changes.
Beach wedding packages typically group a selection of professional services and decor items together at a discount when compared to selecting each item a la carte. Wedding professionals could include an officiant, a specialist wedding photographer, a videographer, and a day-of coordinator who helps to line up the wedding party, organize the music, and generally make sure the couple is free to enjoy their big day as they take care of the logistics and any unforeseen issues. With a choice of venues and menus, Suncoast Weddings are able to present the choices and then itemize the entire package. A sample menu (at time of publishing) for the pavilion venue includes appetizers: (choose one from) Wisconsin beer cheese fondue with baguettes, Crunchy caramel walnut brie with crackers, Pasta primavera salad. Entrées (choose one from) Stuffed chicken marsala - Boneless chicken breast stuffed with mushrooms, mozzarella cheese, breaded with Marsala wine sauce, Chicken Maui - boneless chicken breast stuffed with smoked ham, pineapple, and provolone cheese with a coconut rum sauce, and Smothered chicken – boneless chicken breast with mushrooms, sautéed onions, green peppers, and provolone cheese. Sides include Vidalia onion scalloped potatoes, Sauteed broccoli with brown butter crumbs, Garden tossed salad, Creamy Balsamic dressing, Dinner rolls and butter.
Permits are required at most public beaches and should be submitted for approval as early as possible in the planning process to make sure that the location and date can be secured. Suncoast Weddings can help with the permit application process and will add the cost of the permit to the personalized proposal, as the cost varies from city to city.
Florida Beach Weddings on a budget may start with a search for cheap beach wedding packages however there are many other outgoings that need to be tallied, like the dress, the travel budget, and certainly the reception. Packages typically take several elements of the ceremony and offer them at a reduced price when compared to building the wedding from scratch. This effectively 'bundles and saves' which offers the best value for money for the services delivered. Planning the wedding and reception together as part of a package helps to keep the costs totaled in one place and easier to track. A popular alternative to a traditional reception is a dinner cruise reception sailing the inland waterways around St Pete Beach, Madeira Beach, and Clearwater. This affords a great view of the dramatic and ever-changing scenery as the wedding party enjoys the reception fare. With a choice of paddleboats and sleek modern boats, couples can choose a package and location which suits their style and budget.
Treasure Island Weddings, St Pete Beach weddings, Siesta Key weddings, and Clearwater beach weddings boast spectacular sunset views over the Gulf of Mexico, perfect for couples who want sunset wedding day portraits. Florida beach weddings and reception packages can be purchased which includes the ceremony and also the party to follow. This may include items such as a DJ, a custom-made cake, a coordinator for the wedding, and a professional beach wedding photographer.
