Getting Married on Sanibel Island

I don't have any official statistics to cite, but I think Sanibel is probably the most romantic place in Florida to get married. You can walk down the aisle under the palms in bare feet if you want to, then say your vows with the gentle sounds of the Gulf of Mexico in the background.

Not that you can't do that on other islands as well, but there is just something different about Sanibel. It has a mystique of it's own. And it is a perfect honeymoon destination.

You can use the services of a local wedding planner, or cobble together your own budget wedding package like we did. We got married right out on the beach in front of our condo at Ocean's Reach, just the two of us, then went next door to the Thistle Lodge at Casa Ybel Resort for dinner. You can also have a formal church wedding or any other kind of wedding you can imagine.

We made all of our wedding arrangements over the internet, including:

  • Wedding officiant
  • Wedding photographer
  • Dinner reservations at Thistle Lodge
  • Beach condo reservations for 10-days
  • Bridal Bouquet created by local Sanibel florist

After the wedding ceremony we had another nine days to relax and honeymoon on the island, which we thoroughly enjoyed. If you'd like to have a "night on the town" while on the this quiet island, consider visiting Ellington's, a jazz bar and restaurant with an absolutely outstanding jazz band. Have dinner, dessert, wine, and do a little dancing.

Below is a short slide show with a few photos from our Sanibel beach wedding and honeymoon.
