Wedding Wednesday: Destination Acqualina Resort & Spa on the Beach

Sure, fresh white snow on the ground looks beautiful. But when it comes to your wedding, wouldn’t you rather have your toes dipped in white sandy beaches? Today we’re pleased to feature Acqualina Resort & Spa on the Beach in Sunny Isles, Florida as a fantastic location for a destination wedding. Enjoy southern Florida’s warm weather at this oceanfront property and bask in relaxation of one-on-one attention from the on-site wedding planner.

The resort features 54 hotel rooms and 43 hotel suites with scenic views, 5 star amenities and private terraces. Your out-of-town guests will enjoy the many services Acqualina has to offer like 24 hour room service (late night sundae, anyone?) and interactive child care programs to entertain the tots.

Get pampered at the resort’s award-winning 20,000 square foot spa: ESPA at Acqualina. Perhaps a Stress Releasing Abyhanga? There are 16 treatment rooms including a private hotel spa suite for two, a private spa pool and a heated jet pool with a Roman waterfall, Finnish Saunas, Crystal Steam Rooms, Ice Fountains, Experience Showers, and Relaxation Rooms. There are even spa treatments for men – so bring the groomsmen, too! If you can’t sell them on the spa, just get them out of your hair and ship them over to one of the many golf courses for the day.

Privacy, attention to detail and all hands on deck! The resort hosts only one wedding on the property at a time, ensuring that the bride and groom can take full advantage of all the options available on the premises. The four banquet rooms can accommodate up to 130 guests or you can host a larger party on the oceanfront lawn. Couples don’t have to worry about the minor details knowing that the in-house catering staff will help plan the entire menu. But don’t take it from us – check out all their wedding testimonials – that’s a lot of happy couples.

All you have to do is slip into that gorgeous gown of yours and say “I do!”
