Ft. Myers Beach Weddings

Your Fort Myers Beach Wedding

Fort Myers Beach provides soft sand, warm water, spectacular sunsets. When you say your vows here, you're not performing for Instagram. You're just getting married, beautifully and simply, in a place that gets out of the way and lets love be the main attraction.


Fort Myers Beach is where couples come when they want the best of both worlds: genuine small-town Florida beach charm with enough infrastructure to make wedding planning easy and lots of great options for your reception, salons and lodging.


This seven-mile barrier island on Florida's Gulf Coast has maintained its authentic beach-town character even as other destinations have grown and changed. The main drag, Estero Boulevard, is lined with local restaurants, surf shops, and beach bars where flip-flops are always appropriate. The beach itself is wide, the sand is soft, and the sunsets are everything you've imagined.


"We wanted laid-back and real, not fancy and fussy. Fort Myers Beach was exactly right. The town has such a warm, welcoming vibe—our guests said it felt like everyone was happy we were there. And the sunsets! Every single evening was like a painting."


— Megan & Josh, March 2025

  • Why Fort Myers Beach

    Old-School Florida Beach Town


    Fort Myers Beach has resisted the overdevelopment that has transformed other Florida destinations. The result is a wedding location that still feels like "real" Florida—a place where locals know each other by name, where the best restaurants are family-owned, and where the beach is the main attraction because it doesn't need to compete with anything else. See real Fort Myers Beach weddings.


    Shelling and Wildlife


    The beaches here are part of the same shell-rich system that makes nearby Sanibel famous. Your guests can hunt for treasures along the shoreline, and wildlife sightings—dolphins, manatees, sea turtles—are common enough to feel special but not staged.


    Accessible Luxury


    Fort Myers Beach offers a range of accommodations from casual beach motels to upscale resorts like Pink Shell Beach Resort & Marina and Diamond Head Beach Resort. Your guests can find options that fit their budgets without sacrificing proximity to the celebration.
