When it comes to planning the wedding of your dreams, you want to make sure that every detail is perfect. If you’ve always envisioned taking your vows in a lush, sultrysetting, there are many great wedding venues in Florida from which to choose. Whether you and your guests are looking for a relaxing time on the beach or indulging in the nightlife (or both), the Gulf Coast of Florida is a great destination to consider.
Where to Stay
For those who want to have an amazing wedding weekend at an all in one spot, the Hyatt Regency Coconut Point Resort and Spa should be on your venue list. It’s one of the best-rated resorts in the area. Located in Bonita Springs, right near Naples and the Gulf of Mexico in southwest Florida, the resort can provide whatever kind of wedding you desire, from a casual ceremony on the beach to an elaborate ballroom reception. Event planners are available to ensure that every detail of your wedding is exactly as you want it, giving you peace of mind that everything will turn out just as you dreamed it would.
What to Do
Even when everything is going smoothly, weddings can be stressful, so you’ll want to be able to blow off some steam and enjoy this special time in your life. The Coconut Point Resort offers the largest pool complex in southwest Florida, including a lazy river, speed slides, and a fun tube slide. Enjoy cocktails or a leisurely lunch poolside, or get pampered in the on-site spa before your big day. If you want to go exploring, the city of Naples is a short drive away. Window shop on Fifth Avenue South, take a sunset stroll on seven miles of white sand on Naples Beach or take in the vibrant arts scene in the downtown area.
Where to Eat
At the Coconut Point Resort, you don’t have to go far to enjoy world-class dining. Its in-house restaurant, Tanglewood, offers creative Floridian cocktails and dishes, and you can enjoy an idyllic brunch or a romantic dinner on the patio overlooking the resort’s extensive gardens. Nearby Naples also has a thriving restaurant scene. Check out USS Nemo, a nautical-themed eatery specializing in seafood and Asian fusion cuisine, or the offbeat Goldie’s for diner food at its finest. If you want to sample the best Cuban food in the area, don’t miss Sandy’s Cuban Cafe, a favorite of TripAdvisor users and locals alike. Just looking for a good burger? Brooks Gourmet Burgers & Dogs is just the ticket for what many claim to be the best burgers and hot dogs in the Naples area.
Your wedding is one of the most significant occasions of your life, and of course, you want it to be memorable, beautiful, and fun. Southwest Florida offers a great deal of choices when it comes to wedding venues and resorts, and no matter if you want things casual or super-glitzy, you’re sure to find the site of your dreams among the palm trees and sunshine of the Gulf Coast.
