Beachfront, award-winning rooms As long as you’re getting married on the beach, why not stay on the beach? Bungalow Beach Resort, 2000 Gulf Drive N., Bradenton Beach, has won the Top Romance award in the US by tripadvisor.com, and it is located right on the beach – the perfect place to escape between the rehearsal dinner, the ceremony and the reception. With the Gulf of Mexico just steps from your lushly landscaped cedar bungalow, it’s a great place for an extended stay after the bride and groom leave for their honeymoon. If the bride and groom want to continue their stay, Bungalow Beach Resort, which also won the 2013 Excellence Award from tripadvisor.com, is a very popular honeymoon destination. Originally a group of beachfront army barracks, each of the Bungalow Beach Resort units retains the old Florida charm that is Anna Maria Island, with modern conveniences inside. And you will stay in luxury with personal touches like baskets of embroidered towels, flowers and candy. Whether you’re getting married or part of the wedding party, pick award-winning Bungalow Beach Resort as your home base where you will cherish those moments when you’re not involved with the ceremony. You’ll want to return when there is nothing to distract you from your stay. Call Bungalow Beach Resort at 1-800-779-3601 or log onto www.bungalowbeach.com.

Happy first anniversay to the Wellers. Caitlin Donahue's dream of getting married on Anna Maria Island came true when she and Kyle Weller said "I do" at the St. Bernard Catholic Church, on Oct. 27, 2018. The bride's uncle, Father Scott Donahue, performed the marriage ceremony. The reception was held at the Gulf Drive Café. Music was provided by Chuck Caudill, who sang and performed on ukulele for the first dance. Chuck was also the DJ for their reception. Hair and makeup were by Body & Sol Wedding Salon on location at the Tortuga Inn, where the bride and groom as well as all of their guests stayed. Caitlin and Kyle honeymooned in Australia and New Zealand, before returning home to Arlington Heights, Ill.
