I am new here- originally we were thinking Mexico for our destination, but we felt our budget was out of control, not to mention the costs for our friends and family-

I am thinking Sarasota area- where we took our first vacation and fell in love... I need some help with locations- I want the ceremony to be on the beach.... but accommodations, photographers (reasonable yet extraordinary) and the actuall beach- I need lots of suggestions!

Thanks so much in advance!

I'm kind of in the same situation. I wanted Mexico for a while but now I'm leaning towards Florida. I went to see a property the other day that's near Sarasota I think... it's called Long Boat Key Resort and Spa. Check it out if you want a ceremony on the beach. I'm not from Florida, my family just moved here so I don't know any vendors yet. Good luck!

We're hoping for Nov '09 but we're still looking for a place so it's cutting it close I think. Hopefully we'll find somewhere in the next 2 days b/c I'm leaving to go back home. My parents live in Clearwater so I'm hoping they can do some work for me when I leave!

It's funny because the reason that I swayed from Mexico to Florida was also because the cost for friends and family was higher than I wanted to impose on them... now that I've decided on Florida, more people have to be invited and the wedding is going to be bigger and therefore more expensive! It's just shifting the expenses from flights and hotels to bands, flowers, etc.!

I'm not familiar at all with Key West, sorry.

SAME HERE! I have changed my mind about 10 times in the last week! The advantage for us is that we are going to have a backyard reception when we get back (and the weather warms up) so that no one will be left out- so it doesn't bother me as much if not a lot of people make it- and it is about the same price when you think about staying in an all inclusive resort in mexico compared to ala carte in Florida- try looking up forums on theknot.com for key west and other Florida weddings- I found a lot of information there!

I am planning a wedding in Clearwater Beach and I have found a lot of information (and my photographer!) on weddingwire.com. The vendors are rated by the users of the website so you get some good opinions. It definitely helps when picking a vendor from far away. I hope that helps :)
