Beach wedding and reception

tinkzlover3

I have a budget of no more then $15,000; guest list of about 100 and I'd like to have a simple sunset beach wedding and reception; I've seen companies that rent tents to host the reception however I'm having difficulty find a beach that will allow a tent of that size(20x100 or 30x100) Does anyone know of any beaches where this can be done? Any feedback would be greatly appreciated

Sand Key gave us the option for having a reception on the beach after our ceremony but we just decided to have the reception across the street at the Sailing Center. I don't know the tent size they were going to offer but it was an option.

Oh yea and I've seen tents for weddings and receptions set up on Honeymoon Island as well.

We didn't have a tent, but we had our wedding at the Sunset Beach House in Treasure Island.  It's just a house you can rent, so you either have to do a lot of the setup yourself or hire people to do it, but we LOVED it.  We set the chairs out on the beach about an hour before the ceremony and no one messed with them.

Second the Sunset Beach House!!  We got married there exactly a month ago and it was perfect.  We didn't rent a tent but we could have rented one and set it up in the "backyard" area easily -- I've seen other weddings there that did that.  We did buy a ~$200 tent off Amazon and use it to cover the bar area and some of the food which our bartender greatly appreciated.

When I polled Sand Key there was only one option to go through for catering, tent , etc. 

The Sheraton Sand Key will do it all for you. Shephards has a sand spot for the ceremony and room overlooking the beach for the reception. You could also do the ceremony on the beach and have the reception on Starlite cruise
