The vendors who do beach ceremonies — planners, officiants, and photographers — know the shoreline spots. Post your wedding for free, and beach wedding vendors send you proposals directly.

What to know

Know the permit rules

Public beaches like Smathers and Fort Zachary Taylor State Park need an event permit, often with modest fees. A local planner handles the application and timing.

Time it with the season

November through April brings the best weather; summer means heat, humidity, and hurricane-season storm risk. Share your date and vendors will guide you, with a weather and insurance plan.

Plan for sunset

Light over the water is the magic. A photographer who knows the island plans the ceremony for the best of it.
