What will we do if it rains?

With today's technology, we can determine when and if it will rain on your special day. Depending on the time allowance, I would ask you to make an adjustment in the ceremony time or roll over to the next day if we're really in a pinch and out of options. I do have a canopy you can rent from me for possible drizzles; it does give you peace of mind. Our goal is to give you the best possible ceremony and photos, so we are willing to be as flexible as possible.

Where do I find a hotel?

I am a travel agent & I will be happy to check hotels for availability for you and your guests. My site is @ dialm4travel.com for your air and travel pkgs. If you do book on my travel site or directly with me, you will receive a complimentary 8x10 print of your wedding.

How far is the Tampa airport?

You will have to rent a car to drive to the beach and follow Rt 60 directly to the beach. It's approximately 25 minutes.

When do I get my photos?

You will have them the next day if you'll be here or we can give them to a family member. Otherwise, they will be "priority" mailed to your home address.

Are there restaurants there?

Yes, there are and I'll be happy to help you find the one that is best suited to your party and time of day.

How far is St Pete?

We have a lovely stretch of beach for 26 miles to St Pete. You should plan on a nice drive and go exploring along our award winning beaches. If you're planning on a ceremony there, it is $35.00 addl.

What is the weather like?

Winter weather is very pleasant with the temperature ranging from 70-80 from Nov-Mar and it is warmer in April, May and June, with very little rain. The summer months are hot and a chance of a short rainstorm anytime of day.

What about the "musical videos"?

These are too much fun!! I've been shooting videos for 13 years. I request you burn a CD with a selection of 6 of your favorite songs, which I play on the boom box during the video. I believe music feeds the spirit and it's fun to see you dancing and skipping along the shoreline and frolicking in the surf as you enjoy your champagne toast and during the photo shoot. We use harp music for the wedding and lapel mikes. I give you 30 min with editing.

How long does it all take?

We allow 45-60 minutes for you from start to finish. Mike starts with the processional, during the ceremony, recessional & sunset series. We always get everything done within that time frame, but it is important for you to be on time as the sunset doesn't wait for anyone.
