Anna Maria Island Beach Weddings

Anna Maria Island is considered one of the most romantic Florida beach wedding destinations, making it a perfect choice for your beach wedding. Boasting a pristine seven miles of beach, the island’s natural beauty is a testament to the restricted development codes—no building is over three stories and there is limited parking to deter the masses. An Anna Maria Island wedding is intriguing for those couples seeking an intimate wedding or elopement experience while unplugging from a world often running at high speed.

Your Anna Maria Island Wedding Destination

Anna Maria Island offers a break from commercialism often found on other Florida beaches. The island is filled with beach homes and condos for rent – you will not find hotels, fast food, wi-fi hotspots, or chain establishments on the island, instead locally owned conveniences ranging from shabby to chic. It’s a small community – walk or bike only a few minutes to catch the sunset or a bite to eat. Tide the Knot has a few favorite wedding locations on the island, each providing a unique and picturesque setting. An easy commute from either the Tampa airport (1.5 hours) or the Sarasota airport (30 mins). Upon arrival, you’ll feel the laid-back vibes!

Anna Maria Island — A Natural Paradise

If you are interested in unwinding on a romantic getaway, Anna Maria Island is the spot for you. The island is filled with natural vegetation, tall pine trees, and winding paths to the beach, making it feel more natural and less commercialized. Enjoy the pristine beaches, charming local shops, and cozy beach homes that make Anna Maria Island a perfect destination for your wedding or elopement.

Known for its friendly community and breathtaking scenery, Anna Maria Island is ideal for wedding photography. Capture intimate moments along the scenic shores and lush landscapes. We recommend couples upgrade the photography package to make the most of this beautiful location.
