From the reviews

I am just overjoyed to have found this place to host our wedding. We stayed for five nights in the beautiful home on the property with our family, which allowed us to set up and tear down everything without being rushed and enjoy the most beautiful views, wildlife, and pool while it was all going on.

This was absolutely the most perfect place we could have ever picked for our daughter‘s wedding. We had about 90 guests and the property has enough room for parking as well as a gorgeous and spacious backyard which overlooks a very expansive section of Lemon Bay.

Getting married at Wedding Venue at The Cottage on Lemon Bay

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.
