Wedding Ideas
Anywhere along the sugar-white sands of Anna Maria Island or Longboat Key is the ideal place to say "I do." Our islands are very popular destinations for holding weddings and vow renewals--especially at sunset. With uninterrupted panoramas, gentle waves, and miles of soft, white-sand beaches, Anna Maria Island and Longboat Key offer the perfect setting for romance.
Offbeat Ideas for Anna Maria Island Weddings
Make the big day your own with personal touches that take advantage of the area’s beautiful surroundings--such as, getting married on a deep-sea fishing boat, adding custom sand sculptures to your reception, and many more unforgettable touches.

Sofia and Nick "chose the wedding venue simply because it was so spectacular and breathtaking,” the bride said. “We wanted the location we celebrated our marriage to be someplace memorable, leaving a lasting impression on us and our guests. The Powel Crosley Estate fit that perfectly.”
Amanda and Brad said their vows at the Powel Crosley Estate, which includes a historic Mediterranean Revival-style home named “Seagate” with beautiful views of Sarasota’s sparkling waters, along with a circular tower and a carriage house.
When we were first thinking about how we wanted our wedding to look and feel like, Brad simply requested the end scene from the movie “Meet Joe Black.” Stylistically we both love vintage and refurbished items, so after finding the Powel Crosley Estate we knew it was the perfect match.
