Sending love to all of you who are getting married in the month of October and November!
As a wedding vendor that works a lot on Saint Pete Beach up through Clearwater Beach I just wanted to send all of you a little bit of hope!
I know that every hotel has been affected a little differently, but we’re getting a lot of good news from some of the hotels already.
If your wedding is in November, I would not lose hope at all. It will probably be another week before everything is officially assessed, and official decisions made… But truthfully, if your wedding is in November, I would not fret.
Also, for those of you who are in October, even those getting married in the next couple weeks… There are a few hotels that are already saying they’re going to be ready and open for your weddings.
The Sirata on Saint Pete Beach is going to be holding their first wedding this week 🙂
I’m also hearing very good things about the Thunderbird hotel on Treasure Island.
And there are several planners here locally that have found local locations for those couples who are unable to get married at their hotels. Places that are matching prices and are well within local distance… many in St. Petersburg, Clearwater, Dunedin, and other Pinellas county locations.
Do not lose faith, you have hundreds of wedding vendors on your side that are all willing to drop everything and help!
