Trying to find our Florida location -- help?

After trying to plan a monster wedding back home for 200+ people near Pittsburgh, my fiance and I are now heading back to one of our original thoughts - which was a Florida wedding.  Trying to decide on a location that has some of the following attributes -- any suggestions?

 

- Affordable beach houses around for family

-Things to do other than just the beach so they can make a vacation out of it.

-Would love to be near a Royal Caribbean cruise port

- love the white sand beaches

- places with some privacy options to minimize gawkers to our ceremony

 

 

After all this we were looking at Siesta Key but it seems like a NICE but small place according to some things I am reading online.  Also picking a place to run the ceremony is SO hard. There are a lot of them and really hard to make the best decision.  We would prefer a real pastor over an officiant but want to work with someone to set up the ceremony -- any places that you know of allow this?

Ludlow - closest beach to Orlando is Cocoa Beach. It's 1 hour.  I did look into Beach Weddings by Joanie in Cocoa Beach and she was really nice.

 

If you dont mind the drive, Siesta Key is 2 hours away and was rated the most romantic beach in Florida, #1 beach in the continental USA, etc. Seems beautiful.  If we do this in Florida, I am pretty sure Siesta Key is where it will be.  It's close to Tampa, and a lot of things. 

 

 

I would look into Cocoa or Siesta.  Cocoa is on the atlantic side and Siesta Key is on the gulf.  Siesta key has the white sand beaches and everything.

 

It's a tough decision I agree! But Siesta Key seems popular.

Please let me know what you find. We are also looking into a small family wedding at either Coco or Siesta Key Beach. Our wedding is a year away but we would like a house we could just walk out and be on the beach. Siesta Key is beautiful . Pleases keep me informed. Thanks

    • Hi everyone! I have been doing lots of research on various wedding venues all around Mexico, my fiance wants a destination wedding and I am happy to have a wedding wherever so long as the vibe is right and guests are happy!  I have been seriously looking at Cabo Azul and was trying to find potential costs for them, but only found a page about their wedding costs from 2010. Does anyone have any updated information on costs / reviews they would like to share of this venue? Or advice in general, anything helps. Thanks so much, happy wedding planning to all!
    • Hello everyone, I am dreaming of a wedding in Costa Rica and was wondering if I could get any help with venues and wedding planners. I am thinking Tamarindo because a close friend of mine lives there and I've been in town more than a couple of times, she's being helpful but is at a loss when it comes to this subject really so I was wondering if anyone here had recommendations. I am not closed to other town suggestions either, if I happen to find a good place and staff somewhere else. These are the places I have so far, has anyone had any experience with any of them?  Stay In Tamarindo Luxury Villas in Costa Rica Luxury Villas Pinilla Tropical Homes of Costa Rica The Point Luxury Villa Thank you so much for your help!
