How will you say I do? The answer will hinge on your style, your personal love story and how much you’d prefer to spend. If you’re thinking about a destination wedding, breathtaking venues abound in St. Pete/Clearwater — any one of which will make your wedding a thing of beauty.
Magic in the tropics
How about an enchanted tropical oasis for your wedding? The iconic Sunken Gardens, just north of downtown St. Pete, shelters thousands of tropical plant species as well as a small army of flamingos, butterflies, macaws and cockatoos — all amid winding pathways, waterfalls, arched footbridges, koi ponds and lush gardens. Visitors feel worlds away from the surrounding city, and therein lies its magic.
Hotels with a past
Hugging the northern border of the Belleair Country Club and one of the Historic Hotels of America, the beautifully reimagined Queen Anne-style Belleview Inn in Clearwater — with its bright white facade, expansive verandas and croquet-ready lawns — offers a sublime setting for a wedding. Whether you exchange rings on the manicured lawn or indoors in the Tiffany Room (with 24 panels of the original hotel’s Tiffany stained glass overhead), the atmosphere of a bygone era is palpable.
Meanwhile, in Dunedin, overlooking St. Joseph Sound and a member of Marriott’s Autograph Collection of hotels, The Fenway, with its live radio and Jazz Age roots, beckons guests who love things with a retro, back-in-the-day vibe. Numerous spaces inside and out — including the Caladesi Ballroom and the front lawn — are ideal for weddings.
If you crave beachfront with your history, The Don CeSar commands a sizable swath of St. Pete Beach. Event spaces in this Historic Hotel of America include several ballrooms and the beach pavilion, as well as the beach and the courtyard.
Spa-aaah
Planning a wedding is notoriously stressful, so why not have it at a spa resort? Not just for the venue, either: Include spa services as part of your preparation for the day or the entire weekend. From herbal facials and wraps to mani-pedis and hot stone massages, every member of your wedding party will feel renewed, reborn and "red-carpet" ready. Luxe spa resorts in St. Pete/ Clearwater include Wyndham Grand Clearwater Beach, Safety Harbor Resort & Spa, JW Marriott Clearwater Beach Resort & Spa, The Vinoy and Hyatt Regency Clearwater Beach Resort & Spa.
Offbeat, unexpected
The vibe is welcoming at The Peninsula Bed & Cocktails in Gulfport, “Where hospitality meets mixology.” With 16 guest rooms named and decorated in tribute to favorite cocktails, a charming brick courtyard and embrace of cocktail culture, the Peninsula’s sense of lighthearted fun will lift the mood and style of your small wedding.
