For a destination wedding where there is a reduced risk of disappointment owing to the fact that you haven’t had time to pre-visit your location or vet your suppliers and vendors, a wedding on Anna Maria Island comes with a heavyweight pedigree. Although there is no guarantee, this pretty little place has long been a great place for a vacation but in recent years has also earned and deserved the right to call itself Florida’s Beach Wedding Capital.

Why Anna Maria Island for a wedding

The first pre-requisite for any beach wedding has to be the beach. For an Anna Maria Island wedding the happy couple is spoilt for choice. Pristine and gorgeous beaches with glittering white sand gently washed by the shimmering blue waters of the Gulf of Mexico provide the picture perfect setting for the ceremony and photographs. The sub-tropical climate means any time of year is the right time of year for a wedding on Anna Maria Island and if you are looking for that extra je ne sais quoi, twilight nuptials are blessed by exhilarating sunsets.

Another support to Anna Maria Island being a great destination for a beach wedding is the magnificent array of vacation rentals right on the waterfront. With a bewildering choice of seaside cottages to luxurious old Florida mansions, you can step out of the door directly on to the sands and accommodate your reception all in one location. Add to this plenty of places for your guests to stay, loads of things to see and do before the wedding and for your honeymoon, it’s easy to see that an Anna Maria Island wedding has all the potential to fulfill a bride’s dreams.

The Advantages of Anna Maria Island as a Wedding Destination

The island holds an annual wedding festival every February which is a real cornucopia of everything any marriage ceremony and celebration could need. At this two day event you can see everything that the island has to offer and have a chance to meet the people who will be responsible for your event. If a pre-visit to the island is not convenient, there’s great choice of wedding planners with firsthand knowledge and the local Chamber of Commerce is fully behind the enterprises that work together to make a wedding on Anna Maria Island worthy of its burgeoning reputation.
