If you’re dreaming of a wedding in Florida’s Most Relaxing Place, the Navarre Beach area offers a variety of venues that blend natural beauty with distinct charm.

Here are some stunning locations in and around Navarre Beach that will make your special day one for the books.

Navarre Beach Marine Park

Nuptials held along Navarre Beach’s four miles of pristine shoreline, with the crystalline blue-green waters of the Gulf of Mexico as a backdrop, ensure a memorable ceremony and stunning photos, especially during a spectacular sunset. You can hold a wedding on any part of Navarre Beach, whether right behind an expansive vacation rental home, in the Navarre Beach Marine Park, or along the Gulf Islands National Seashore, with its rustic landscape of dunes and seagrass.

No permit or permission is required for weddings on Navarre Beach; however, wedding parties can reserve a beachside pavilion in both the Navarre Beach Marine Park and the Gulf Islands National Seashore (Opal Beach Area). Both are ideally suited for a quiet gathering of your guests before the wedding and for small receptions or first dances after the ceremony. Below are contacts for the pavilions (which include nearby restrooms):
