Wedding venues in Florida
Loading the map
27 venues in Florida host weddings, ordered by renown and by how fully each is documented. Of those that publish a capacity, the largest, Hilton Orlando Buena Vista Palace, hosts up to 2,000 guests. 26 of them list their event spaces by name. Each page has the key facts and a request form for the events team.
Planning a wedding in Florida
Florida offers winter sun, beaches and grand hotels, with direct flights from Europe and Latin America. Couples who live elsewhere can obtain a licence from any county clerk and marry anywhere in the state, from Miami Beach and Palm Beach to the Gulf Coast and the Keys.
When to marry
November to April is the main season: warm, dry days and cooler evenings. Summer is hot and humid with near-daily afternoon storms, and the hurricane season runs from June to November, peaking in late summer. Ask venues about indoor or covered alternatives whatever the date.
Getting guests there
Miami, Fort Lauderdale and Orlando have the most international flights; Palm Beach, Tampa, Fort Myers and Key West serve their own coasts. Miami is a natural hub for guests from Latin America. Guests from outside the US should check entry rules early.
Hotels, estates and beaches
Art Deco hotels in Miami Beach, Mediterranean Revival estates and clubs in Palm Beach and Coral Gables, beachfront resorts on the Gulf Coast around Naples and Sarasota, historic buildings in St. Augustine and waterfront venues in the Keys. Many hotels can host the ceremony, dinner and guests on one site.
Marrying in Florida
Couples apply together for a marriage licence from the clerk of court in any Florida county, with photo ID; the licence can be used anywhere in the state, and residents and non-residents can apply. Ceremonies can be performed by clergy, judges or a Florida notary public. Beach ceremonies may need a local permit.

Which venues in Florida have rooms for guests to stay?

What kinds of venues are listed in Florida?
19 hotels, 4 event spaces, 3 historic houses, and 1 estate.
How are these venues chosen and ordered?
By documented renown first, then by how fully each venue is documented (photographs, rooms, capacities), never by payment: venues do not pay to appear and the guide takes no commission. How we select venues.
Can foreigners get married in Florida?
Yes. Both partners apply together for a licence from a county clerk of court, with no residency requirement, then marry anywhere in Florida before an authorised officiant, which can include a notary public. Check with your consulate about recognising the marriage at home.
When is the best time for a wedding in Florida?
From November to April, when the weather is warm and dry. Summer brings heat, humidity and afternoon storms, and the hurricane season runs from June to November, so a covered backup is essential.
Where to have a luxury wedding in Florida?
Miami Beach and Palm Beach for grand hotels and historic estates, Naples and Sarasota on the Gulf Coast for beachfront resorts, and the Keys for smaller waterfront weddings. St. Augustine adds Spanish colonial architecture in the north.
