Weddings at the Inns of Sanibel

Creating a wedding with exceptional style is easy on the island

The Inns of Sanibel is the ideal location for an unforgettable island wedding. Hold your ceremony on the shell-strewn shores of the Sanibel Inn. Here you are blessed with spectacular views of the Gulf of Mexico—an idyllic setting for photographs. Or you can exchange vows in front of a sparkling lake at sunset at The Dunes Golf & Tennis Club—The Inns’ sister property which grants hotel guests a complimentary social and sports club membership throughout their stay. The Dunes Sunset Lawn boasts a plush green secluded lawn area, surrounded by flowers and palm trees that over looks the lake. It’s perfectly located to take advantage of Sanibel’s glorious sunsets as a backdrop for the wedding ceremony and for photos.

You can also say I do amidst crashing waves or upon the picturesque setting overlooking gorgeous fairways—then dance the night away in the poolside pavilion with an all-weather enclosure.

The Dunes, which sits within a stunning wildlife preserve sanctioned by the Audubon Society, is a full-service facility. It can accommodate weddings of up to 120 people in the covered outdoor pavilion, or up to 70 in the elegant clubhouse. If you are looking for an indoor venue, the clubhouse has comfortable seating offering views of the beautiful sunsets on the golf course lake. An adjacent bar serves as a cocktail area. If an outdoor venue is preferred, the pavilion is an intimate space with an adjacent poolside terrace for cocktail receptions. Couples who hold their ceremony at The Inns of Sanibel are required to hold a reception at The Dunes.
