If you are having a beach ceremony

May I please ask how much it will be? please include details for example, decor? Officiant? etc.

For instance, Hilton clearwater are charging $2331, for the seats, officiant, decorative arch with fresh flowers of my choice,  and a back up location. Do you think that is a deal?

TIA

    I'm paying $1,000 for seats and backup room.  Everything else I'm doing is separate.  I'd say that's pretty much on par.  I wouldn't call it a steal, but not bad.

    I booked through floridaweddings.com and I'm paying $2300.  We're getting married on Siesta Key beach.  The price includes officiant, photography, dvd, live music at ceremony, flowers, wedding consultant and license.  I'll be paying extra for chairs and if I want a decorative arch.  I'm very pleased with communication so far!  Plus they put up with my questions! 
    Hope this helps!

    I am having my ceremony and reception at the same place so everything would be added together. I don't have everthing added up yet, because of the extras I will add.

    Having ours at The Ritz-Carlton Beach Club on Lido Key, Sarasota. Cost for just the ceremony is $2,000. Includes chairs, that's it lol It was $3,000 but we wiggled it down... also having the cocktail hour and reception there too though.

    Have to pay extra for music, flowers, arch, etc etc. Which we are hiring outside to do.

    I am getting married at The Grand Plaza on st.pete beach and ceremony site is free. Arch is like 50 and chairs are 5 dollars a chair and that includes set up and tare down. I'm doing my own decorations it will be way cheaper. I also know a lot of pastors in the area. I'm hoping to stay 500. I think that's way to much, at the grand plaza we are spending about 5000 for ceremony and reception site, alcohol,food and everything else is included.

    I'm paying $650 for officiant, chairs, arch and music - from gulfbeachweddings.com. This is on Pass-a-grille beach!

    I did contact a few hotels on the west coast and they were trying to charge around $1000 just for the beach (which is public!), so decided to just book with a wedding company directly.
