Anna Maria Island Wedding Venues

When picking the perfect venue on Anna Maria Island, we don’t think you can go wrong with whatever choice you make. If you want to have you wedding on Bradenton Beach, which is located on the South end of Anna Maria Island, consider the Beach House Waterfront Restaurant. The view is incredible, and the food is divine if you decide to have it here. If you don’t want to have it at a restaurant because you have a particular caterer in mind or just have a different setting in mind for your event, any of the beaches on Anna Maria Island are magnificent venue choice.

Bests Wedding Caterers

Some of the best caterers known on this side of the coast are just a short distance away, so you’re in luck. Sarasota Catering Company is a favorite of many people, and their reviews speak for themselves. Their food is divine, and their presentation somehow takes it to another level. Other choices for top caterers in the area are Seafood Shack Marina Bar and Grill and Harry’s Continental Kitchens. Both have raving reviews and are located nearby which makes a lot of people feel more comfortable with them catering their special day. Food is not something you want to skimp on for a wedding because most people get hungry after the nuptials, pictures, and dancing so make sure you’re prepared with one of the top caterers already mentioned.
