SARASOTA IS THE PERFECT DESTINATION SPOT FOR 2018

When you think of beach weddings and destination locations to say your vows, you probably think of Florida and more specifically, the white sandy beaches of Siesta Key. Lucky for us, we fall right in between Siesta Key and Sarasota, Florida. 

As quoted by Vogue Magazine in a recent article, Sarasota is a “haven for the arts.” Sarasota, Florida has its own opera house, symphony orchestra, ballet company, a performing-arts hall, and many open-air festivals. 

Sarasota, Florida is unlike any other town in Florida. It has it’s luxe features, which A White Sand Wedding thrives on, and stunning wedding venues and hotels including the forthcoming Art Ovation Hotel in downtown Sarasota, as well as The Ringling and Marie Selby Gardens. 

This town has a city and art-like feel, while also being able to escape to the beach for seaside excursions such as sunset cruises and paddle boarding. Not too overwhelming, but still providing you with a sense of relaxation, while not being worried about trying to find things to do. 

A White Sand Wedding, an all-inclusive wedding planning service, we have fallen in love with all the features of this city and water-side town. We get the best of both worlds and are able to create lasting memories from beginning to end when it comes to your planning process!
