Discovering Old Florida Charm: The Perfect Wedding Destination in Gasparilla Island

Welcome to Gasparilla Island, the hidden gem of Old Florida charm. If you're planning a destination wedding in Florida and are searching for the "Old Florida" vibe for your small wedding, look no further than Boca Grande. As a fellow lover of all things coastal and historic, I can assure you that this barrier island is the ultimate destination for your dream beach wedding. Let's dive into why Gasparilla Island should be at the top of your list for a destination wedding.

The lighthouse, established in 1890, stands as a beacon of timeless romance and history. Imagine the countless sunsets it has witnessed over the years. It's not just a structure; it's a testament to enduring love and guidance, a theme that is the perfect underscore to all unions. Check out beach wedding packages that are perfect for either lighthouse beach on Boca Grande.

At the center of the island lies the nucleus of this little community, The Historic Village of Boca Grande. Here, “Main Street” still exists with no stop lights, no billboards, no high-rises and no fast-food chains. You will find, however, unique shops and art galleries, casual and fine dining establishments serving fresh seafood just caught by the local fishing captains and prepared by any of the island’s classically trained chefs. Info has been provided by the Boca Grande Chamber of Commerce website.
