How do you choose the location of the ceremony?
Blissful Beach Weddings will work with you to help you determine the best location for your ceremony. The decision is ultimately up to the couple. You have the final say. First we ask where you will be staying while in the area and look to having the ceremony at your beach house, hotel, or condo if you are staying on the beach. You must obatain permission and has to be verified through your accommodations. You should always ask if any fees will be assesed or time restraints. If you are not staying on the beach or do not have permission for access then we point out the closest public beach access to you. This helps in convience of driving especially in the busy heavy traffic summer months. Henderson State Park is the only public access that has to be booked ahead of time as they only allow three events at a time.
