Chelsea grew up on Siesta Key, so she is biased - If I were traveling to this wedding I would look for a house/condo to rent on Siesta Key and rent a golf cart to get around. Siesta Key has beaches, restaurants, bars, shopping, & groceries - you never have to leave the key if you don’t want to. If you don’t want to do the beach route, than downtown hotels are the next best option. Downtown is vibrant and artsy with lots of bars restaurants within walking distance to the hotels. If staying downtown you are a 10 minute drive to Lido Beach/Longboat Key and a 20 minute drive to Siesta Key.
Yes! Everyone with plans to attend the wedding are invited to the rehearsal dinner at The Westin rooftop!
Cocktail Attire. The rehearsal dinner will be on a rooftop and the Wedding will be on the beach. Both events are outdoors. Wedding will have sand and grass portions, so be mindful of this when picking shoes.
