Beach House Weddings in St. Augustine: Why Couples Love Them — And How Our Sister Companies Make Them Possible

Beach house weddings have quickly become one of the most desirable ways for couples to get married in Florida. There’s something magical about having an entire coastal home to yourselves — the privacy, the ocean views, the ability to celebrate over several days, and the comfort of gathering your closest people under one roof. It’s intimate, it’s relaxed, and it feels like a true getaway.

At Tide the Knot Beach Weddings, we’ve seen a growing number of couples looking for wedding experiences that go beyond a traditional beach permit setup. While our Gulf Coast ceremonies offer stunning shoreline backdrops, many couples want the added exclusivity and convenience that only a private beach house can provide.

That’s where our sister company, Sun and Sea Beach Weddings, comes in — offering curated beach house wedding experiences on Florida’s Atlantic Coast, specifically in the romantic and historic city of St. Augustine. And for couples dreaming of destination weddings outside Florida, our Caribbean sister brand, Sol y Mar Weddings, brings the same level of care and creativity to Puerto Rico’s most beautiful beaches.

Together, our family of companies gives couples more choices, more flexibility, and more ways to create a wedding that feels uniquely their own.

Why Beach House Weddings Are Becoming So Popular

A beach house wedding offers something a public beach simply can’t: true privacy. Instead of sharing the shoreline with weekend crowds, you and your guests enjoy a peaceful, intimate setting where the entire experience feels like your own. From getting ready in the morning to sunset photos to late‑night celebrations, everything happens in one beautiful place.

Couples also love the multi‑day aspect. A beach house allows you to stretch your celebration into a full weekend — welcome dinners, brunches, pool time, and relaxed gatherings that make the wedding feel more like a vacation. It’s an experience, not just an event.

Why St. Augustine Is a Dream Location for Beach House Weddings

St. Augustine is one of Florida’s most romantic coastal destinations. With its wide, quiet beaches and charming historic backdrop, it offers a blend of natural beauty and old‑world character that’s hard to find anywhere else in the state.

Sun and Sea Beach Weddings has created two signature beach house wedding packages designed specifically for couples who want a private, elevated experience in this iconic location.

Beach House Bliss

Perfect for intimate weddings and elopements, this package blends simplicity with elegance. Couples enjoy a beautifully styled ceremony setup, photography, officiant services, and coordination — all centered around a charming beachfront home. It’s ideal for couples who want a polished, magazine‑worthy celebration without unnecessary complexity.

Beach House Celebration

For couples hosting a slightly larger group or wanting a more robust experience, this package includes expanded décor, upgraded styling, and additional coordination support. It’s perfect for families and friend groups who want to enjoy a full weekend together in a private coastal setting.

Both packages are designed to remove stress, streamline planning, and create a seamless wedding day from start to finish.

The Sun and Sea Advantage: Stress‑Free Planning, Beautiful Execution

One of the biggest benefits of choosing a beach house wedding through Sun and Sea is the level of support. Their team handles the details — permits, décor, timelines, vendor coordination, and setup — so couples can simply enjoy the experience.

And because Sun and Sea is part of the same family as Tide the Knot and Sol y Mar Weddings, couples receive the same level of care, creativity, and coastal expertise no matter which location they choose.

How Tide the Knot, Sun and Sea, and Sol y Mar Work Together

Our three sister companies share a mission: to create beautiful, meaningful, stress‑free coastal weddings.

  • Tide the Knot Beach Weddings specializes in Gulf Coast ceremonies, offering stunning setups on Clearwater Beach, St. Pete Beach, and surrounding areas.

  • Sun and Sea Beach Weddings brings elevated beach house wedding experiences and Atlantic Coast ceremonies to St. Augustine and Jacksonville.

  • Sol y Mar Weddings extends our coastal expertise to Puerto Rico, offering intimate elopements and micro weddings on some of the island’s most breathtaking beaches.

Together, we give couples the freedom to choose the coast — or the island — that fits their vision, while knowing they’ll receive the same trusted service and thoughtful planning.
