Ft Lauderdale – FL

Offers a touch of everything you could ask for in a destination wedding.

For a wedding destination full of style and sophistication, with some fun in the sun too, head to Ft. Lauderdale. Located between posh Palm Beach and wild Miami, this classy city has beautiful beaches, many cultural and natural attractions, plus wonderful shopping and dining.

Ft. Lauderdale is an ideal city for your memorable wedding and honeymoon. An historic house that sits on the New River in downtown Ft. Lauderdale is a quaint restaurant perfect for your intimate ceremony. Get married in their garden gazebo while the boats sail by, and then celebrate with a wedding luncheon in a private dining area. A posh resort directly on the ocean can be the site of your poolside wedding, and afterwards your guests will dance until dawn in a sparkling ballroom.

Ft. Lauderdale is home to thousands of luxurious yachts, and one is waiting to whisk you away to sea for a unique ceremony on deck. If you’re looking for a ceremony with your feet in the sand and the sun shining brightly overhead, you can find your location on Ft. Lauderdale beach. After the “I Do’s”, head across the street to a lively Spanish restaurant that has a private room with ocean views. Arrive at your wedding in style, perhaps by stretch limousine, a vintage convertible, or even in a horse-drawn carriage.

The Ft. Lauderdale area has a variety of activities for the honeymooning couple. Stay in an oceanfront resort, complete with a relaxing spa, professional golf course and gourmet restaurants. Stroll down Las Olas Boulevard, shopping at unique art galleries and fancy boutiques, and then have lunch at a sidewalk café. Beach Place, an open-air mall directly across from the ocean, has shopping, dining and exciting nightlife. Rent a wave runner right on the beach, or go on a casino cruise and try to double the money you received as wedding gifts!
