Destination Weddings in Florida

Fort Myers, Sanibel and Captiva Islands are perfect for your Florida Destination Wedding of any size. From an intimate ceremony for two up to a celebration with family and friends, this area on the southwest coast of Florida has become an all year long wedding destination. The Islands provide a beautiful rendezvous for photographs of families arriving from different parts of the world. They are situated between the Gulf of Mexico and a fisherman’s paradise – the Back Bay waters. Shelling, kayaking, bicycling and sightseeing are just a part of the activities available.

Patricia Slater is a wedding Officiant located on Sanibel Island. She has performed wedding ceremonies in the Fort Myers area for over twenty five years. As a resident of Sanibel, Patricia has access to florists and restaurants for your destination wedding plans. For intimate weddings, Patricia has access to a private beach. You will have a quiet and romantic ceremony with maybe just a fisherman angling on the beach in the distance. After the sunset wedding ceremony, you might then travel a mile or two to any of the numerous great restaurants on the Sanibel Island.

Marco Island, Sanibel and Captiva Islands are romantic islands for destination weddings. In Sanibel, Captiva & Fort Myers, beach weddings are planned for nearly any day of the week with sunrise weddings at the Sanibel Lighthouse to sunset weddings on the the beaches that face west. Many weddings in Florida that are planned during the winter months make for a great long weekend getaway for guests coming from the North. All year round Florida has lush landscaping and blooming flowers. Wedding photography on the Fort Myers islands is beautiful in any month.

In addition to the upscale beachside resorts in Fort Myers, Marco and Sanibel Islands that host the most formal and sophisticated weddings, there are four public beach accesses on Sanibel (Lighthouse Beach & Fishing Pier, Gulfside City Park, Tarpon Bay Beach, and Bowman's Beach) and two on Captiva (Turner Beach at Blind Pass and Captiva Beach) that provide the perfect serene-and-scenic setting for the more casual, intimate, barefoot affairs including maybe just a bride and groom with just a few family members and friends. At the gateway to Sanibel, there are the Causeway Beaches that are excellent places for swimming, fishing and windsurfing.
