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!”

5 Wedding Locations You Didn’t Know You Could Get Married At

Weddings in city hall or a church? No, thank you. You’re an adventurous bride, and you want your wedding ceremony to show your spirit – which means you certainly can’t get married somewhere typical. Luckily, we’ve got your back. Here are 5 unusual, super-secret wedding locations you probably didn’t know you could use for your wedding!

1. The London Eye

British Airways’ London Eye hovers high above the city to afford you breathtaking views and an unbeatably unique wedding day. You are married by a civil ceremony when you reach the top. Up to 20 guests can join you on your ascent and British Airways will provide a champagne toast to your new life on the way down!

2. The Great Wall of China

Get married somewhere where the scenery matches the limitless possibility of your future stretching before you by getting married on the roof of the Commune, a thatch of contemporary modern villas run by the Kempinski hotel group near the Great Wall of China.

3. The Zoo

While it may never have occurred to you to invite chimps and giraffes to your wedding, your local zoo can provide a fun and playful backdrop to your nuptials. Young and young-at-heart guests will love the after-hours peek at the critters! Your local zoo is almost certainly set up to host gatherings like this, so give them a call to discuss rates and dates.

4. A Cave

If you want a ceremony that’s completely private, consider a wedding in a cave – stay with us here. There are some gorgeous groupings of caverns in North America, and many allow you to exchange vows in their staggering, comtemplative natural setting. Check out wedding permit info for Carlsbad Caverns here.

5. A Sports Arena

If you or your intended is a sports fanatic, take your wedding over the top by hosting the ceremony or the reception on a local football field or in a ballpark. You can theme your food and drink appropriately, and toast to a home run marriage.
