Destination Weddings & Special/Group Events Location on Siesta Key

Looking for the perfect spot to hold your destination wedding on Siesta Key? Or maybe looking to host a family reunion or company retreat?

The Inn on Siesta Key is a wonderful getaway for weddings, honeymoons, reunions, or any special event. We offer a small, intimate setting near the beach that's perfect for your special celebration.

Wedding Booking Requirements

For wedding events, we require booking our entire property - all six units must be reserved with a 3-night minimum stay. This exclusive-use policy ensures privacy and comfort for your entire wedding party, creating a cozy, tropical oasis that your guests won't soon forget.

We recommend booking up to a year in advance, as we have repeat clients who plan that far ahead to return to our beautiful property.

Guest Capacity & Accommodations

  • Ceremony & Reception: Up to 50 guests
  • Overnight Accommodations: Up to 20 guests comfortably across all six units
  • Parking: 10 spaces available on property

Our six units include:

  • The Cottage: 3 bedroom, 2 bath (perfect for bridal party preparations)
  • The Cabana: 2 bedroom, 2 bath
  • Four additional units: Each with one bedroom

The Cottage, our original home on the property, makes an excellent gathering space for dinners, cocktails, games, and bridal party preparations. It's also perfect for honeymooners planning a return visit.

Your Perfect Beach Wedding Setting

Siesta Key Beach has consistently been rated as one of the best beaches in the world, making it an ideal location for your wedding. A beach wedding is so unique and memorable that your guests will talk about it for years to come. After attending their first beach wedding, many guests say that if they could do it all over again, they would have chosen a beach wedding as well.

Experience a barefoot beach wedding directly in front of the Inn! We prefer our guests to join us on Island Time and relax. The beach is famous for its crushed quartz white sand that always feels cool on your bare feet - perfect for a barefoot ceremony. Combined with amazing sunsets and soothing warm water, Siesta Key Beach creates a magical, romantic atmosphere for your special day.

Weather Considerations

We do have an indoor backup space available in case of rain, though this space is smaller and cannot accommodate our full capacity of 50 guests. We recommend discussing weather contingency plans when booking.

Vendor Services

Important: We do not offer wedding packages or in-house services. Couples are responsible for arranging all services needed for their wedding, including:

  • Catering
  • Photography
  • Flowers
  • Music/DJ
  • Wedding officiant
  • Decor and setup

While we don't maintain a formal preferred vendor list, we can suggest wedding officiants, photographers, and vendors that offer complete beach wedding packages if you need recommendations.

Beach Ceremony Permits

For beach ceremonies, you'll need to contact Sarasota County directly for permit information. This is especially important during turtle season when additional regulations may apply.

Event Policies

Since you'll have exclusive use of our entire property, we don't impose restrictions on music, alcohol, or event timing. However, Sarasota County has a sound ordinance requiring quiet hours after 10:00 PM, so we recommend planning your celebration accordingly to respect this local regulation.

Special Benefits for Our Wedding Couples

We offer discounts to repeat guests when they return to visit. So when you decide to come back to celebrate your anniversary at the place where you got married, you'll receive our repeat guest discount!
