Virgin Holidays weddings in Clearwater

Hi there,

Has anybody booked/had their Florida wedding through Virgin Holidays UK?

I got engaged last weekend (in Washington DC, how exciting!) and really want to get married in Florida. Is it worth booking through Virgin? Going it alone? (eeek!) I don%26#39;t want to feel like i am on a conveyer belt of couples, getting churned out by the half hour but I want to feel like it is being dealt with by the best people who are in the know.

Also, I know that Virgin don%26#39;t arrange evening receptions - where would be a good place to begin looking? I am looking at Sheraton Sand Key, Marriot Sand Ke, Tradewinds Grand Resort.

Any info would be gratefully received.... I am going back to surfing the net for more info!!!!

Forgot to say - I would be looking to tie the knot in October/early November. Does the weather generally allow sunbathing still at this time? Thank u x

Weather is usually in the low to mid 80%26#39;s during the day. Very nice time - Not as hot and humid as earlier in the Summer.

I have never been to a wedding on Clearwater Beach, but have heard from several folks here on TA that they had a great wedding here.

The beach on Sand Key, is not normally near as crowded as Clearwater Beach, so it may afford you a quieter, more peaceful ceremony. Plus, all the fun spots of Clearwater Beach are just accross the bridge.

I got married on Sand Key beach (definitely more private than clearwater beach) and had my reception across the street at the Marriott Sand Key.. I knew where I wanted my recpetion so I started at the Marriott and the wedding coordinator there (Deb at the time) helped me out so much, she pointed me in a direction of wedding coordintor, officiant, florist, etc. also sent me brochures on vendors in the area. She was extremely helpful as I am from out of town as well but frequent the area every year, but didn%26#39;t know vendors.

If you decide onthe Sheraton the coordinator there (Mark at the time) will probably be able to point in the director of vendors as well.
