Two weeks ago, I experienced three of the most heavenly days of my life at the Ritz Carlton on Amelia Island, Florida. There are no words that can do this trip justice but I have come away so certain that if you are planning a destination wedding, this is the place to go!
Amelia Island felt worlds away from reality but was just a hop over from the Jacksonville airport. Easily accesible from Boston, New York, Washington, and the entire South, you and your guests may experience a destination wedding without any hassle.
Anastasia Stone, the oh-so-fabulous Catering Sales Manager on property, welcomed planners and wedding industry professionals from up and down the East Coast to experience how incredible a wedding weekend would be at this property – and let me tell you, the Ritz at Amelia Island makes a next-to-none destination wedding spot.
Here are some visuals that I hope will warm you up on this rainy, cold day -
A ceremony set to be held by the sea…
Cocktails or lunch by the spa pool…
Delicious dessert…
Dinner in the Plaza Ballroom – and see the lighting transforms the table?!
Chai Martini’s for dessert? Yes, please!
Peacock cake as tribute to the peacocks who roam the island…
A Sunday Southern brunch to close the weekend…
All of these lovely photographs are by Anges Lopes.
More eye candy to come later – stay tuned!
I have many fond childhood memories of Amelia Island for yearly family vacations. I agree, it’s a wonderful place!
