Beach wedding at Venice Beach on Florida's Gulf Coast

Locations

Venice Beach Weddings

A Gulf Coast beach wedding venue served by Dream Beach Weddings.

Beach Wedding Venue

Venice Beach

Known as the Shark Tooth Capital, with a mellow, walkable shoreline and warm golden light.

Love the idea of a morning wedding? Fresh morning ceremonies at Venice Beach are some of our favorites — the beach is calm and uncrowded, the sun is up and the light is soft, and the Gulf is at its most peaceful. You'll have more privacy, gentler temperatures for you and your guests, and beautifully clear photos before the day gets busy. Morning or sunset, we'll help you choose the perfect time of day — just ask about morning availability.

Every Dream Beach Weddings package can be booked here — from the intimate You and Me elopement to the full Magical Bliss ceremony. We handle the officiant, decor, photography, coordination and marriage-license filing.

The Shark Tooth Capital of the World

Venice Beach is famous for one truly unique thing: fossilized shark teeth. The coast here sits atop a deep fossil layer, and the surf steadily washes prehistoric teeth — some millions of years old — onto the sand. Guests turn beachcombing into a treasure hunt, and many couples send everyone home with a little fossil keepsake from the wedding.

It's a memorable, one-of-a-kind backdrop you won't find anywhere else on the coast.

Relaxed, walkable, west-facing

Venice has an easygoing, uncrowded feel and a charming nearby downtown. Its Gulf-facing beach means golden-hour ceremonies over the water — we time your vows so the sunset does the heavy lifting for your photographs.

Planning your Venice day

Venice Beach has public access and parking and stays calmest in the morning or before sunset. A permit is typically required for a beach ceremony, and in most cases the couple secures it — we'll tell you exactly what's needed. Dream Beach Weddings takes care of the decor, florals, officiant and coordination.

NO NEED TO LOOK INTO ANYBODY ELSE! Me and my husband went with them as we had a destination wedding, and they immediately made me feel comfortable and was very responsive and answered ANY and ALL questions respectfully and professionally. My wedding turned out beautifully and they made sure it was stress free as possible. We loved everything about them. You will not regret using them 🩷. THANK YOU AGAIN DREAM WEDDINGS. Can't wait to get my photos back 😊.

Thanks so much to the Dream Weddings team for coordinating our special day on Siesta Key! Our ceremony was everything we'd hoped it would be - seamless, simple, yet elegant. Irina was a helpful point of contact, Christine did a fantastic job as our officiant, and huge kudos to Ksenia for her talented photography skills. The sand ceremony was a lovely touch and the sound system was top notch. Excellent service and experience.

We had our wedding on Anna Maria Island beach, and we couldn't be happier with how everything turned out. Irina and the team guided us through the entire planning process and made everything feel easy. The wedding was exactly what we dreamed of — a beautiful sunset, white sand, the people we love around us, and not a single worry. It was truly perfect!

They made our wedding an absolute breeze! It was a stress free day, where we only had to worry about enjoying our day and arriving to the beach! It was such an amazing day and can not recommend them enough, it such a easy process. Their photographer and videographer they partner with are amazing!! They were all over the beach capturing the perfect shots!!

My little beach wedding was absolutely perfect! I expected it to be great, but it was even better than I expected. I highly recommend using them, the whole thing was such an easy process and they were able to have my wedding set up within a month of reaching out. It was a stress free process. Thank you so much!!

Our wedding was beautiful on lido beach. All of the staff were very professional & paid attention to details & gave us our dream wedding. We live in another state & the planning & details were very easy. The photographer made sure we got all of the photos that we wanted. She was very kind & helpful. The officiant helped make our wedding our own with special details. I would highly recommend this company for your special day!

It was a pleasure to work with Irina and Ksenia! Our wedding officiant was wonderful too! We absolutely loved everything about our wedding on the beach. It was a beautiful sunset ceremony! It was going to rain… but it ended up not raining but they had a plan for us if it would have. Overall my husband and I are so in love with every detail from the floral arch to the music to the pictures, etc. Ksenia is an incredible photographer and very organized. We love our photos and will cherish our wedding day and photos forever. 🩷

Had our elopement ceremony on Venice Beach, it was exactly what we wanted, short and simple with the beautiful gulf waters behind us! The coordinator and officiant communicated with us well and gave our day the same care as I imagine would be to any larger ceremony. Could not be happier with the experience!
