Seaside Garden Wedding Venues
A seaside garden venue pairs blooms and manicured grounds with the water just beyond — the florist's work already growing, and the coast for a backdrop. Ceremony among the plantings, cocktails on the lawn, and a reception with both the garden and the shoreline in frame. Ask what's in bloom in your month (a June garden and an October one are different venues, both lovely), how much of the grounds your rental includes, whether there's an indoor or covered backup, and where the water sits relative to the ceremony site. The 24 venues below match this style — use the map to find the closest one, or browse by state.

Picturing a different kind of venue?
Whatever the venue, the same homework applies: which way it faces, the permit, the weather backup, and catering — and whether you can stay on-site or book it all-inclusive.
