From the reviews
When we booked our wedding weekend at Banana River Resort, we knew it would be awesome, but nothing prepared us for just HOW awesome it turned out to be. Just look at the photos (and these aren't even the professional ones!
We got married at this resort last week and absolutely loved it. Guests said it was the prettiest wedding they ever attended. The family stayed at the resort for a few nights leading up to the wedding and loved it.
My husband and I spent last weekend in the River Boat Villa and we had an amazing time. The Villa is exactly as advertised, and the location was incredible with breath taking sunsets. We brought our own bikes and kayaks, but they have kayaks, surfboards and paddle boards available. The location is amazing.
The quieter end of town, right beside the base. River views are stunning, free kayaks and paddle boards a real bonus. Family friendly, couples, relaxed brach vibes and the Ocean beach is only across the street. Room was spacious, nice shower, kitchen with what you need far a quick meal or drinks and snacks.
Getting married at Banana River Resort
Two things make the tour worth the drive. First, see the ceremony spot at the exact time of day you'd say your vows — a west-facing beach glows at sunset but bakes at noon, and you'll want to feel the wind, watch where the sun sits, and walk the path your guests take across the sand. Second, bring your real questions: the weather backup (where does the ceremony move if it rains or the wind kicks up?), who pulls the beach permit, the sound-ordinance curfew, the catering and bar policy, and exactly what's included — chairs, setup, and teardown on sand are where quotes quietly diverge. Peak beach dates book 12–18 months out, so if the tour feels right, ask what's open in your season before you leave.
