Sarasota Fl Beach Wedding Permit Tips
The reason that you’re reading this is because you want a beach wedding on one of Sarasota’s many beautiful public beaches.
Sarasota public beaches reside from Venice in southern Sarasota county to Siesta public beach and a little further north to the public beaches on Lido key.
The 2 most popular area beaches are Siesta Key public beach and Lido key public beach. Both of these beaches are in Sarasota Florida and permits are required if you want any type of wedding ceremony decorations or chairs.
Please read our Siesta key beach wedding page for lots of information about weddings at Sarasota’s favorite and #1 beach for weddings.

Tip: Sarasota Wedding Ideas has planning services that will take care of finding and securing you the best possible beach wedding spot for your ceremony.
Some couples would like a “Green Grass” type of outdoor location as your wedding spot instead of the beach, and much of this permit information also applies to Sarasota’s public parks and green spaces.
We’re planning a small wedding ceremony on Siesta beach, do we need a permit?
You’ll need a wedding permit to use any public land, even for the smallest of weddings if you have decorations or chairs. Some of Sarasota’s public beaches allow you to set-up decorations (bamboo arches, chairs & more) anywhere on the beach other public beaches have specific areas where ceremony setups are allowed. You’ll need to know where you can and cannot setup at the beach or your choice.
