Hi everyone. Im trying to plan a destination wedding in the St. Pete, Clearwater, Sarasota, Anna Maria areas. I so far have my heart set on The Sandbar b/c of the outdoor pavilion. But I am a little weary about having so many out of town guests and not having a major hotel right there that is convenient. I love the idea of having my reception outdoors, so Im wondering if anyone knows of any hotels (or venues very close to a hotel) on the beach where I can have my ceremony and reception outdoors?
Im thinking I will have around 75 guests, almost all out of town, and I'm hoping to keep my ceremony and reception costs around 7-10k.
Thanks for any suggestions.
