Inn on the Beach can do much more than just provide a wonderful place to stay. We’re also one of the finest small wedding reception venues in St Petersburg, offering laid-back Florida friendliness as the backdrop for your romance. Most newlyweds stay in The Cottage, which is the vacation rental beside Inn on the Beach. It’s beautifully appointed but offers privacy and relaxation as well as its own garden patio area, which is the perfect place for a small reception. It easily accommodates up to 12 adults. To make the day even more special we include a champagne Welcome Basket on arrival. If you’re not getting married on Pass-A-Grille Beach or St Pete Beach itself, the Cottage garden can be both a ceremony and wedding reception venue. Again, it’s best for parties of up to 12 adults, but offers a lovely green space to yourselves and just as much warm Florida sun as the beach. Some couples opt to book out the whole hotel with family and friends, and then the wedding reception options are greater. The hotel courtyard is a great place to relax and celebrate. By choosing a wedding venue so close to St Pete Beach, you can always use the sand and sea as a backdrop for photos (the beach is within easy walking distance, even in heels) or include a sunset view from the waterside to get the reception started.
