Private Beach Wedding

sindurig

My fiance and I are planning a beach wedding in 2012 or 2013. We are inviting around 50 guests and we are going to pay for everyone's accommodation. The plan is to find a house with a private beach where we can have the ceremony and have fun till the early hours of the next day. We want to rent beach houses close by for the guests. I just dont know where to start looking for a house with a private beach! We are looking for a beach either in Alabama or Florida or Georgia or Louisiana. Can someone please steer me in the right direction here or let me know if you know any good places? I just started planning and I want to pick the venue first before moving on to the other details. Thank you for any help!

Destin Florida...in the panhandle has beautiful beaches and lots of vacation rentals (I used to live there...so I may be a bit biased...but it is a really good vacation town). I would also check the west coast of Florida (Sanibel Island or Captiva). Hth!

There is this plsce called Beach  Place Guesthouses and it looks amazing, but is expensive. I think it starts out at $5000

Thank you all for the suggestions. It helped me a lot to get going. We are thinking either an island close to Savannah or our second options are Destin or Dune Allen. We kind of want it to happen in a city which has a historic/vintage feel to it. Tybe Island had been our choice but heard weddings in beach homes are discouraged there. So, researching more about the islands close to Savannah. Thank you all very very much.
