Any affordable resorts in Florida on a beach that holds weddings and beach front receptions?

My goal is to spend less than 5k out the door pricing.

You should check out Sanibel Island FL. I have been going there for years and you can have a wedding on any budget. There are several hotels and resorts that offer wedding packages. There is also a wonderful lady that owns Weddings By The Sea. She is a local and has been living on the island for years. She does the most beautiful weddings and can assist you with anything. She also plans wedding for any budget. Of course on Sanibel you only need the permit and the justice of the peace to marry you, so you really do not even need an hotel. Anywhere on the Island is beautiful to get married at. They have wonderful white beaches and sparkling blue water. They also have the best shelling in the world. Most people get married at sunrise or sunset that really makes a gorgeous background to your wedding. Here are some great websites for planning a beach wedding on Sanibel:

I would also recommend the FL Keys there are several beautiful islands to choose from and again you can do an wedding on any budget: There is also Flagler Beach which is really nice and pretty secluded or even St. Augustine. St. Augustine is the oldest city in the US and it is very beautiful. You can take a horse and carriage to and from your wedding. It really has old world charm and yes they have several resorts there. Here are some sites for these places:

I would also start with the visitors center for you location. Most of them have websites and you can email them for help. This is a FREE service so why not use it. Contact them and tell them about what you want to do, your budget, and the dates. They will be able to direct you to locations that fit your budget, info on the marriage license, photographers, florist, wedding planners and more. They really are very helpful and again FREE so use them! They are also locals so they really know the good locations. Congrats on your wedding!

Michigan Beach Wedding Ceremony Sites

wedding on lake michigan?

I am thinking about getting married on the beach of Lake Michigan. Either in Chicago, IL; Michigan City, IN; Holland, MI; or Grand Haven, MI… Does anyone know any good reception sites that would be close? I want a sunset wedding and an evening reception in May… but there isn’t a date set yet, I just want lilacs so it would have to be around Mother’s day for the flowers to be in bloom. I was thinking it would be really cold still on the beach and windy in May. Has anyone had experience with weddings on Lake Michigan in any of these areas? I would like to know what kind of rules there are for the ceremony. The reception would be at a different location near the beach, but inside because it will definitely be too cold to be outside at night in May. Thanks!
ok im not getting a wedding planner that is just a big waste of money! i am just looking for personal experience

One piece of advice if you are having an outdoor wedding…watch the veil. In a windy location, you will be eating it. Either make sure it has weighters in it or else do not wear one.
