Clearwater Beach is a world-famous destination known for beautiful beach weddings and year round sunny skies.


Since 2001, Weddings On a Whim has conducted thousands of Clearwater Beach Destination Weddings.


We save couples resort fees by arranging a public beach wedding at spacious Sand Key Beach Park. Our All-Inclusive Beach Packages include a variety of arch choices, such as bamboo, driftwood or birchwood.

Most of our Wedding Packages include the Officiant, a sound system for ceremony music & microphone, along with 40 digital images. Many eloping couples with no guests choose our simplest mix n’ match altars, beginning at $695 or our Basic Officiant Service at $295. We also offer ceremonies when the park opens at 7:00 a.m. Although the sun comes up across the bay, Sand Key has views of the area and the pink morning clouds. Our Clearwater location is so photogenic, so we use the Sand Key Beach Park, Clearwater Beach for commercial photo shoots of our decorations. And we often use the area for our Engagement Photo Shoot package. Our Wedding Concierges are available to discuss & compare the 24 miles of our varied beach communities with you. Our telephone and email consultations help sort out the details and decisions needed to plan a hassle free Gulf Beach Wedding.

Situated on the West Coast of Central Florida, Clearwater Beach offers romantic sunsets that create perfect photo opportunities. Our Trash the Dress photo shoots capture couples kissing and playing in the water, adding a fun and unique twist to wedding photos.

Ideal Pedestrian Community

Clearwater Beach’s resorts are conveniently located near each other and the beach, creating an ideal pedestrian community for couples and their guests. Visitors can easily walk to the beach, restaurants, shops, bars, and even a miniature golf course. The Clearwater Marina, offering watersports and dolphin watches, is also just a short walk away.

Sunset Celebrations and Rooftop Restaurants

The Sunset Celebration at Pier 60 is a popular evening gathering spot, featuring vendors and entertainers. Rooftop restaurants with bars, such as Jimmy’s Crow’s Nest at Pier House 60 and Jimmy’s on The Edge inside The Edge Hotel, offer fun and lively venues for couples and their guests to enjoy.

Luxurious Beachfront Resorts

Resorts like The Wyndham, Sand Pearl, Opal Sands, Hilton, and Hyatt Resorts promote beachfront ceremonies, with options for water view or interior ballroom receptions. Weddings On a Whim’s beach weddings are available at Sand Key Beach Park, a spacious and serene location just a bridge away from Clearwater’s hotel row.

Spacious and Scenic Sand Key Beach Park, Clearwater

The Clearwater Beach Marriott Suites and the Sheraton Sand Key are the nearest resorts to Sand Key Beach Park. Each resort offers roundtrip shuttles to the park, making it easy for guests to attend the wedding. Sand Key Beach Park is expansive, providing ample space and parking for larger guest counts, except during holiday weekends. Couples often surprise their guests with a Jolley Trolley ride from their resort to the park and back.

Picnic-Style Receptions and Nearby Dining

For a casual reception, couples can organize a picnic at the park’s picnic shelter. The Clearwater Sail Center, a banquet hall across the street, is another nearby DIY reception option. Many great restaurants, such as Rusty’s Grill House inside the Sheraton and Watercolour Grill inside the Marriott, offer intimate dining options for smaller groups.

The Columbia Restaurant, with it’s Spanish-Cuban cuisine, ambiance, and bayfront views, is a favorite among couples.
