Question

What time should I arrive at the ceremony?

Answer

Please plan to arrive at the Bilmar by 3:30 PM to catch the trolley to the ceremony. The trolley will depart promptly from the hotel at 3:45 PM to transport everyone to Fort De Soto Park for the ceremony, which begins at 4:30 PM. We’ve hired a trolley service to transport all guests. There will be two trolleys. One for the wedding party and one for all other guests. The trolley will be located outside the hotel lobby at the valet carport. The trolley will take you directly to the ceremony location, so no need to worry about parking or navigating. Just sit back, relax, and enjoy the ride! If you arrive after 3:45 PM, you may need to find alternate transportation to the ceremony. Looking forward to celebrating with you all! See you there!

Question

Do you have any hotel recommendations?

Answer

We highly recommend staying at The Bilmar Beach Resort, as we’ve arranged a wedding block there. While we have looked into alternative hotels and Airbnb options, we found that the Bilmar Beach Resort offers the best combination of affordability, comfort, and convenience for all guests. The resort is the reception location and trolley services. The bride and groom kindly request that, if financially possible, guests stay at The Bilmar Beach Resort. They would love to have everyone close by to maximize time together and create the ultimate beach wedding vacation experience.
