What's a trip to Florida without a visit to the beach? We got plenty of options - Fort Myers Beach, Bonita Beach, Lover's Key - but we're partial to the Naples Pier where we were able to get outside and soak in some sunshine during quarantine.
The Naples Botanical Garden is a date night favorite for the couple around the holidays for the light display (Mom, it's way warmer than Longwood Gardens)! Take a quiet moment through the gardens on your way to or from the beach!
Located just 30 minutes up I-75 is Downtown Fort Myers offering plenty of shopping, eating, and drinking! We recommend starting for drinks at the Social House's outdoor patio where the Bride spent her 21st birthday before walking across the street to the Luminary Hotel's rooftop bar for amazing river views. Make sure you don't leave without grabbing a slice of pizza and a cannoli at Downtown House of Pizza!
A quick drive from downtown, The Edison and Ford Winter Estates highlights the homes of Thomas Edison and and Henry Ford! The property features a museum, laboratory, and botanical gardens for your relaxing and enjoyment!
Take a trip down to 5th Avenue and take in the best of Naples shopping! When your legs get tired, pop into The Vine Room or Ocean Prime where the bride and groom celebrate their anniversary every year.
Located close to our venue, Mercato offers plenty of food and drink options! Try Beeline for a pre- or post-dinner cocktail or order the duck cocktail at The 239!
Stop by for a drink and bite and chances are you'll run into an Amador! Alex's dad has been working here since before Alex was born and has recruited practically the whole family onto the team! Harold's was the couple's go-to date night during college and is still a favorite spot to celebrate occasions with the family!
Anneliese's Favorite Place - Thunder Performance If you've talked to Anneliese for 30 seconds, you know all about her passion for CrossFit and Yoga! A loyal 5- and 6-am attendee, you can also catch her coaching Monday mornings or leading a recovery yoga class on Sundays. All levels of fitness are always welcome! Drop in for a free class on the bride and groom! An updated class schedule can be found on their website.
Visit the infamous Tiki Bar - a favorite of the Bride in college. Drop in on a Thursday night and place your bets in the Hermit Crab races or stop by Sunday for BINGO! Closed-toed shoes are recommended...
Designed by Tiger Woods himself, Popstroke offers mini golf fun and service directly onto the course!
