Just What You Imagined. The sun is setting over a gentle sea. An offshore breeze freshens the twilight hours. A beautiful bride (you), wearing a crown of flowers and a flowing white veil (possibly embellished with tiny shells), walks (barefoot) through the soft white sand toward her handsome groom, who is waiting for her under a jasmine-covered arbor (with an orchid in his lapel). And all around are family and friends - relaxed, happy - with glasses of champagne in their hands and all sans shoes - in anticipation of this special occasion.
Who Needs a Cathedral? This is the way to go, here, on Anna Maria Island, where the beauty of the sea and the relaxed atmosphere make it the perfect place for weddings and other special events. Our little island has become one of the favorite wedding destinations in the country. It's unspoiled. It's easy to get to. It doesn't cost an arm and a leg. And, at Tradewinds, it has a really charming beach resort guaranteed to provide a unique and memorable wedding experience.
Making Memories (with Chocolates). Whether you're planning a large, smashing event at a local beach restaurant, or a more private, intimate affair, we have just the romantic accommodations you're looking for. Call us at your earliest convenience. Our experienced staff can help guide you through the complicated, decision-making process. We offer special rates for group bookings. And, if you're coming down for a preliminary trip to plan your event, be sure to let us know and we'll have a box of chocolates waiting for you as a little gift from us to you. We want you to make your memories here with us. We know you'll come back to visit us again and again.
