Sarasota Bradenton International Airport (SRQ) is the closest airport to Palmetto, where the wedding will be held. It is 20 minutes from the venue. Tampa International Airport (TPA) and St. Pete-Clearwater International Airport (PIE) are both roughly 45 minutes from the venue.
The closest nearby beaches are all situated on Anna Maria Island, just minutes across the bridge from Bradenton, FL. On Anna Maria Island, there are many beaches including Coquina Beach (a favorite of the bride and groom,) Holmes Beach and Anna Maria Island Beach.
The bride and groom strongly recommend making a visit to Bean Point, the northernmost point of Anna Maria Island. On this point of the island, the sand is white as snow and the water is clear and you can see 180 degrees of both sides of the island, as well as the sunshine skyway bridge in the distance. It is absolutely beautiful.
Unfortunately, no he will not. This is a point of contention for him, so we urge you not to bring it up or he may bite you. Sadly, dogs are not allowed at our venue, but he will be there in spirit and we plan to make him a part of the ceremony in a fun way (yeah, we’re those dog parents…)
