Sanibel Island Wedding

The chance to take your marriage vows on an idyllic, pristine, shell-strewn, white sand beach, lapped by gentle waves of crystal clear waters; to take your walk down the ‘isle’ on your perfect day.

Increasingly, beach weddings are becoming a reality for more and more couples nowadays, instead of just being the choice of an elite few.

Sanibel Island, just off the south west coast of Florida, has, in recent years, started to emerge as an ideal choice for couples looking for that perfect beachside wedding.

And it’s so easy to see why!

Sanibel Island has everything you are looking for to make it the ultimate wedding experience.

Sanibel Island is an untainted sub-tropical paradise, with seventeen miles of white, sugary beaches dotted with pastel shells; caressed by clean turquoise seas; fanned by coconut palms swaying gently on the fringes of the water; memorable for its unforgettably stunning ocean sunsets.

This is the place where your fantasy wedding can become a reality; whether your dream is of a simple, intimate gazebo on the shore with a few very special guests, or of a spectacular occasion, full of grandeur and extravagance.

What is more, tying the knot in Sanibel Island is as easy as finding a shell! Here, all that is needed is for the prospective couple to pay a visit to the Clerk of the Circuit’s Office on the Island to apply for a marriage License.

There are no blood tests; no waiting time. As soon as you’ve got your license, you can be married within 60 days.

As you would expect from a destination as popular as Sanibel Island, there are specialist wedding planners and co-ordinators here who will be able to help you to prepare for everything – menus, entertainment, floral arrangements, photographs, everything – and they will work closely with you to help your dream day pass flawlessly.

Several of the highly-praised resorts and hotels on Sanibel Island now specialize in hosting weddings for their guests.

One of the best-known of these resorts is the Casa Ybel Resort, which is easily accessible from the mainland and Fort Myers Southwest Florida International Airport and yet is also in its own wildlife sanctuary, where you can see cormorants, ibises, ospreys, and pelicans enjoying Florida’s friendly climate.

Casa Ybel epitomizes the old-island spirit of Sanibel Island, whilst still offering the best in modern facilities for you and your guests.

The most popular time of the year for a Sanibel Island wedding is during the winter or early spring, so that guests can enjoy some welcome winter sunshine in this enchanting island haven.

Whenever you choose to come, though, you can be certain that the welcome waiting for you here will be as warm as the weather.
