east coast wedding location??

[Elms23]

I am from near Pittsburgh but after the CHAOS of trying to plan a local wedding, we have opted to do something "destination" but within the U.S. so the close family members that we want to be there, don't have to get passports or travel overseas. 

 

We considered Key West for it's island vibe but is pretty far and we would certainly have to have our guests fly.  I don't want to make it "all about our guests" because quite frankly its other people who have us opting for a wedding out of town anyways. 

 

My ideal place would be Punta Cana for the island vibe.  But we are not going overseas as I said - so any suggestions on beautiful places along the east coast?  We would want a beach wedding.  I would prefer something north of Florida if at all possible, but will definitely consider Florida if we have to. Any other places with a fun, island vibe that are in the U.S.?

 

Thank you so much   :-)

The outer banks of North Carolina is a beautiful place. If you go north to the town of corolla or currituck beach it is beautiful. Some parts have a 4x4 beach where you can drive on the sand and there are also wild horses that roam around. There are oceanfront beach houses that would hold the wedding party or even the family.

I ended up choosing the Belhurst Castle on Lake Seneca in the New York finger lakes.  We just booked and visited there this past weekend it is absolutely breathtaking, even in the middle of winter.

I know a lot of people love Charleston, SC. or Hilton Head, SC.

I looked at places in the Carolinas and ultimately decided on North Myrtle Beach
