Clearwater Beach Weddings

Your Clearwater Beach Wedding

Clearwater Beach has been voted America's Best Beach multiple times—and once you've walked its sugar-white sand and watched the sun melt into the Gulf of Mexico, you'll understand why.


This isn't a hidden gem or a locals-only secret. Clearwater is a destination that's earned its reputation through consistently stunning natural beauty: wide stretches of pristine sand, water so clear you can see your feet in waist-deep waves, and sunsets that draw crowds to Pier 60 every single evening for good reason.



"We got married on Clearwater beach. The whole experience with Florida Weddings was so easy and stress free. The entire wedding turned out so beautiful and I wouldn't of changed a thing. Our guests still text us about it. Their team are so friendly and very responsive! I highly recommend them!” 

— Nicole & David, April 2025

Your wedding images will have that impossible blue-green color that usually requires filters—except here, it's real. See for yourself in our Clearwater gallery.


    Pier 60: Sunset Celebration Every Night


    Clearwater's nightly sunset celebration at Pier 60 has become a beloved tradition. Street performers, artisan vendors, and crowds of people gather to applaud as the sun disappears.
