Planning Your Dream Wedding in Florida: A Guide from Big Events Florida
Planning a wedding is one of the most exciting and memorable experiences of your life, and if you’re lucky enough to be saying “I do” in Florida, you’re in for something truly special. Florida offers a unique mix of natural beauty, world-class venues, and vibrant culture, making it an ideal destination for your big day. As the owner of Big Events Florida, I’ve been honored to help countless couples create unforgettable memories. In this guide, I’ll share insider tips to make your Florida wedding a smashing success and why hiring a professional DJ—like us—can elevate your event to the next level.
Choosing the Perfect Florida Venue
Florida is renowned for its diverse wedding venues. Whether you envision a beachside ceremony with your toes in the sand, a lush garden celebration under ancient oak trees, or a chic urban affair in a trendy downtown loft, Florida has it all.
- Beach Weddings: Florida’s coastline is dotted with stunning beaches, from the Gulf’s tranquil waters to the vibrant Atlantic. Destinations like Captiva, Sanibel, and Fort Myers Beach are popular for their scenic views and romantic sunsets.
- Historic Venues: For couples looking for charm and character, consider historic sites like Sidney & Berne Davis Art Center in downtown Fort Myers or the Lightner Museum in St. Augustine.
- Resort Elegance: Florida is home to luxurious resorts that offer all-inclusive wedding packages, such as Margaritaville or the Ritz-Carlton properties.
No matter your choice, make sure to visit the venue in person, check availability for your desired date, and consider weather contingencies (hello, Florida rain showers!).

Vendors That Bring Your Vision to Life
Your vendors are the backbone of your wedding. From florists and caterers to photographers and planners, choosing the right professionals can make or break your event. One of the most critical decisions you’ll make is hiring your entertainment.
Why the DJ Is #1
The DJ isn’t just someone who plays music—they’re the heartbeat of your wedding. At Big Events Florida, we understand that a great DJ does much more than press play. Here’s what makes a professional DJ indispensable:
- Setting the Mood: From the moment your guests arrive, the right music creates an atmosphere that matches your vision—whether it’s romantic and serene or upbeat and party-ready.
- Seamless Transitions: A skilled DJ knows how to transition smoothly between songs and segments of the wedding, ensuring there’s never a dull moment.
- MC Expertise: Your DJ serves as the master of ceremonies, announcing the first dance, cutting the cake, and other key moments with confidence and charisma.
- Customized Playlists: At Big Events Florida, we work with couples to craft playlists that reflect their personalities and preferences. Whether it’s your favorite 80s hits or the latest chart-toppers, we’ve got you covered.
- Reading the Crowd: A great DJ knows how to read the room, adjusting the music to keep the dance floor packed and your guests energized.
Remember, your DJ will have a direct impact on your guests’ experience. Investing in a professional DJ like Big Events Florida ensures your big day will be unforgettable.
Florida Wedding Must-Haves
Beyond the venue and entertainment, there are a few other essentials to consider:
- Weather Preparations: Florida’s weather can be unpredictable. If you’re planning an outdoor wedding, consider tents, fans, or heaters, depending on the season.
- Local Flavors: Incorporate Florida’s vibrant cuisine into your menu. Think fresh seafood, citrus-infused dishes, or a key lime pie for dessert.
- Guest Comfort: Provide sunscreen, bug spray, and water bottles if your wedding is outdoors. Welcome bags with local goodies are a thoughtful touch for out-of-town gu
- hoto opportunities. Be sure to hire a professional who can capture the magic of your day.
