Where tropical simplicity meets the calm of the shoreline. The Palm Essentials package transforms the beach into a warm, intimate setting — a ceremony styled with soft coastal textures and curated palm artistry, designed to feel effortless, meaningful, and naturally beautiful.
Your altar is created with faux palm trees set in woven baskets, offering a relaxed island aesthetic against the soft backdrop of sand and sea. A round natural jute rug grounds the space, while tiki torches, rattan accents, and lanterns add gentle warmth and coastal charm.
Each element is intentionally simple yet thoughtfully styled, creating a tropical-inspired ceremony that feels organic and heartfelt. The result is a Palm Collection experience that is elevated in look but wonderfully uncomplicated — perfect for couples who want a relaxed and intimate Ft Myers Beach, Naples, Marco Island, Siesta Key, or Bonita beach wedding elopement.
Every detail — from the palm altar design to the coordinated setup, officiant services, and photography — reflects the Platinum Beach Weddings signature: effortless tropical style with a modern coastal heart. Perfect for up to 10 attendees, any day of the week. Usually doesn't require a beach permit!

Ready to get married on the beach?
Where the ocean becomes your aisle and every wave witnesses your vows.
Southwest Florida’s coastline offers a canvas like no other — sweeping Gulf views, soft white sand, and sunsets that feel painted just for you. From the palm-lined shores of Fort Myers Beach to the serene stretches of Naples, Marco Island, and Siesta Key, Palm Essentials creates a wedding experience rooted in natural beauty and effortless charm.
Your ceremony is framed with sculptural palms, woven textures, and soft coastal accents that elevate the shoreline without distracting from it. The result is a modern tropical aesthetic that feels warm, welcoming, and thoughtfully refined. Here, against the glow of the Gulf, your vows take on a deeper kind of meaning.
Our team is here to guide you through every step — choosing your beach, planning your ceremony, coordinating your officiant, and handling post ceremony license details — ensuring your Florida beach wedding feels seamless from start to finish. Whether you're dreaming of an intimate tropical ceremony or a simple vow renewal by the water, Palm Essentials brings that vision to life with ease.
Beach permits vary depending on location. Should your chosen beach require one, we’ll secure it for you and keep the process stress-free.
Palm Essentials Package
Q & A Section
How many guests does this package allow?
Palm Essentials is designed for intimate ceremonies. Most couples bring between 0–10 guests, but we are happy to accommodate more — simply let us know so we can suggest the ideal photo time you need for proper coverage. You're welcome to bring more guests but the package and photo duration were designed for the size we suggest. You may want to add more photo time or an upgraded music package when adding more guests. We are happy to send pricing for any enhancements.
Can we add chairs to this package?
Yes! Chairs or benches can be added to any Essentials ceremony package for a fee. Many couples choose rattan or bamboo seating for a cohesive tropical look.
How does the photography work?
You’ll receive up to 45 minutes of coverage, typically beginning with your ceremony and ending with newlywed portraits on the shoreline. Your gallery includes approximately 75–100 edited images, delivered via an online link with full print rights.
What does the music package include?
This package includes one ceremony song — perfect for processional or a special moment. You can upgrade to a full playlist or add a musician if you want live coastal ambiance.
What does the onsite coordinator do?
Your coordinator manages ceremony flow, decor placement, timing, communication with vendors, and all guest movement. They ensure that your ceremony runs smoothly and that you remain relaxed and fully present.
Do you travel to different beaches?
Yes — we travel to Ft. Myers Beach, Naples, Bonita Springs, Marco Island, and Sarasota. If you’re considering a location outside these areas, just ask — we’re happy to help.
What happens if the weather is bad?
We monitor weather closely leading up to your ceremony. If adjustments are needed, we work with you on timing, location shifts, or temporary holds.
How far in advance should we book?
Most couples book 3–12 months in advance. Elopements and smaller ceremonies can be accommodated sooner. We've had clients book their elopement 48 hours in advance. If you have your Florida marriage license in hand, we can accommodate must short notice elopements.
Do we need a permit for the beach?
Some beaches require permits; some do not. We guide you through the process and handle all necessary paperwork if your location requires one.
Can we bring our own photographer or officiant?
Yes, but we recommend using our team for seamless coordination. If you bring your own, we simply adjust the package to remove those inclusions if needed. When you remove the Officiant from our wedding packages, it also removes the supplement ceremony.
Can children or pets attend?
Absolutely. We love when families — two- or four-legged — are part of the celebration. Just let us know so we can plan safely and comfortably.
How long is the ceremony?
Most ceremonies last 10–15 minutes, depending on personal vows, unity rituals, and readings.
Can we add a small reception or beach picnic afterward?
Yes! We offer styled picnics, cocktail tables, champagne toasts, and photo enhancements depending on the package. Ask and we’ll design something to match your vibe.
Can we write our own vows?
Absolutely. We will help you place them into the ceremony flow. Many couples choose to add a private vow exchange before the ceremony as well.
