Pink Shell Beach Resort & Marina

Y“ou can’t have a better sunset than what we have to offer here,” states Dony Lubig, wedding specialist at the Pink Shell Beach Resort & Marina on Fort Myers Beach. “Where we are is kind of quiet and quaint.” This is exactly what makes the resort an ideal option for those seeking a supreme sunset ceremony.

Particularly popular among couples coming from the wintery Northern states is the idyllic backdrop of the calm Gulf of Mexico, complete with pristine beaches and unobstructed views of the horizon. Lubig adds her own flair with a customized sandcastle or a circular chair arrangement, which give wedding guests something to remember.

Continue the outdoor theme on the private, landscaped pool deck with an island-inspired menu and music that encourages dancing under the stars. “You can still see the water from there,” Lubig adds. Or the bride and groom can choose a premier cocktail hour on the grand terrace before ushering guests into the adjoining Captiva Ballroom, measuring 3,100 square feet, where a more formal setting with views of the Gulf is on full display.

With the packages, bridal couples receive all-inclusive planning services and a free stay on their wedding night. “We do all the work for them,” Lubig reassures, so couples can enjoy their day—and their special moments—as stress-free as possible.
