Beach Weddings

Weddings on Fort Lauderdale Beach

There is no permit required for weddings on Fort Lauderdale beach, but there are a few guidelines. The beach between NE 19th Street and SE 3rd Street is available on a first-come, first-served basis for weddings. Weddings are not permitted at Vista Park (2800 N. Atlantic Blvd). You are welcome to bring chairs, use a runner on the sand or a bridal arch for your ceremony, but please do not stake the arch in the sand. You can weigh it down with sand bags if necessary. Please keep in mind that there is no alcohol, tents or canopies, amplified music/loud noise, or fires on the beach. You cannot rope off any areas or restrict the public on the beach. Please contact the City of Fort Lauderdale Parks & Recreation at (954) 828-7275 or cdodson@fortlauderdale.gov with any questions.
