Hello all!!

I'm a Texas bride wanting to get married in Gulf Shores because of y'alls beautiful beaches!  However, I'm having a lot of difficulty finding a venue on a beach that will accommadate 65-70 guests.  I've contacted a lot beach house rental agencies and they have all said that they will not let us host a wedding on their properties if I have more than 20-30 guests due to parking, it being a liability to let a large number of people come in and out of the house, etc.  I've been looking into Gulf Shores state park and  I am considering renting their beach pavillion and the beach. Has anybody had their wedding here or known someone who has? What did you think of it?  If anyone has any other venue  suggestions I would really appreciate it! :)

Hello! I too am a Texas bride getting married in Gulf Shores :)
I am working with Elaine Harper at the Gulf Shores Wedding Chappel. I highly recommend working with her because she has a beautiful chapel and reception hall. It is so nice to have a back up plan incase the weather is bad on the day of the wedding, this is why I chose to work with Elaine. The wedding is planned to take place at the state park, but I did not have to rent the entire beach pavillion because I am having my reception at the chapel recpetion hall. If you are wanting to do everything on the beach...cake, music, tabels, etc...then I would recommend renting the pavillion for the day. The only down fall is that the pavillion closes at sunset, so you and your guest would have to be out by then. Anyway...hope this info helps! Good luck on planning and congrats!
