1. How to Have a Beach Wedding

   • 1
     Select the beach where you wish to have your wedding. Be sure to factor in the time of year, season and other local events into your decision. For example, should you decide to get married at Daytona Beach you will need to avoid Bike Week in order to prevent your vows from being drowned out by the roar of thousands of motorcycles. Also, if you have your wedding in the tourist "off season" you can take advantage of low rates on accommodations and other services because there will not be as high a demand.

     Establish a contact person at the hotel nearest to the beach where you wish to have your wedding. This person will help you coordinate the event and reserve enough rooms for your guests. They also can recommend vendors to help you with the wedding cake, music and photography. This person generally will serve as your liaison to the catering department at the hotel.

     Spend at least one night at the beach where you want to have your wedding. This will help you be sure that you have picked the proper place. Walk on the beach around the time that you want to get married and check out the area to make sure that the hotel is the type of place that you trust to host your wedding and reception tastefully. If you find you do not like the area, atmosphere or clientele, consider a change in venue. You want you wedding day to be perfect!

     Make sure that the area where you wish to have your wedding can be reserved. If it cannot, you will need to select another venue. You do not want people walking through the middle of your wedding because the beach is public.

     Set a date with the help of the hotel contact person.When planning a beach wedding, this must be done at least six months in advance if possible. Otherwise, even if your venue is available you may end up being hurried out of the area to make room for the next scheduled event. By planning far in advance, you can usually talk the hotel into reserving the beach area for at least half a day.

     Interview potential musicians, photographers and bakers. It is best to use local talent since these people will work better if they are familiar with the venue and the area. Make sure to ask for references, examples of their work and cost estimates. Most will be willing to negotiate on prices -- -particularly if you are very clear about what you want and if you have your event when the area is not busy with other tourists.

     Sign contracts with your favorite vendors. This locks them into working with you on a given weekend and gives you the security of knowing that you can check one more thing off your list. At this point, the hard work is done. Now you can move on to the things that are required at any wedding, like showers, dresses and parties!
