Our favorite Sarasota County wedding beaches

Siesta Key Beach
900 Beach Rd, Siesta Key ​

Our FAVORITE location in Sarasota FL for your beach wedding! Currently, there is a permit required at this location however Sarasota has designated wedding zones at this beach that are ideally located with walking access and close to the parking lots. We can obtain the permit for you or you may get it yourself. We prefer zone 1 or 3 here at Siesta Key.

This is by far the most impressive beach in the St Pete / Sarasota area.  It's recently undergone renovations and it is stunning.  This location is ideal for large beach weddings or small beach weddings in Sarasota.
