Amelia Island, Florida Weddings

If you’re looking for a place where Southern charm meets seaside elegance, allow me to suggest Amelia Island—a timeless gem off Florida’s northeast coast that’s quietly becoming one of the most romantic wedding destinations in the country. For couples seeking the classic “here’s where we said I do” story, this island offers everything: white-sandy beaches, historic venues, moss-draped oaks, and a whisper of old-world romance.

A Setting Steeped in History & Elegance

Amelia Island isn’t just a pretty backdrop; it’s a place rich with stories. From the Victorian architecture of the Fernandina Beach Historic District to the grand resorts along its shoreline, your wedding can reflect not just “now” but also “always.”

For example, the resort The Ritz‑Carlton, Amelia Island offers ceremony choices that evoke both luxury and legacy - whether you’re standing on dunes overlooking the Atlantic or inside a soaring ballroom.

A Wedding Weekend, Not Just a Day

Part of Amelia Island’s appeal is that it encourages more than one day of celebration, for you and your guests. With its charming downtown, boutique accommodations, historic bed & breakfasts, and water-based activities, your wedding can flow seamlessly into an extended experience.

Venues That Span from Intimate to Grand

One of the hallmarks of a well-planned wedding is having options that align with the size and tone of your celebration. On Amelia Island, you’ll find everything from secluded elopements to large-scale galas.

No matter what your wedding vision entails, Amelia Island is a wonderful destination to consider!
