30A Wedding Location Help

[nez02]

Hello,
My fiancé and I have fallen in love with the Rosemary beach area and had planned to get married there in June. What we didn’t learn until today was that most of Rosemary Beach was private. I see that the fee to use the beach is pretty significant by our standards (which I’m sure is pennies to others). Are they any options that are as beautiful? Or any other places you would suggest. The ceremony will be short (15-25 min) and we will just need space to place some chairs for our guests around 75.

Thank you for your help in advance.
Keith

If you get married at a public beach access you will need a permit, as for chairs that would be addressed through a rental company. You can contact Walton County Building Department for info and cost associated with permit, if any. If you rent a condo/ house on beach and have wedding behind it no permit required unless HOA requires one. Hope this helps.

The suggestion to find a condo with private beach access is a good one. Most would not object to a wedding on their beach.
