But of course, the real reason we're all here is to celebrate! So let's raise a glass and get ready to dance the night away!
Thank you for joining us for this special occasion. We're so grateful to have you here, and we can't wait to make some amazing memories together.
Let the festivities begin!
Welcome!
Much love,

Brunch
Favorite Beaches
- Pass-a-Grille Beach - Gorgeous and pristine. This is where we usually go to swim.
- St. Pete Beach (Post Card Inn) - Best beach bar and bites.
Something to keep in mind...
March is Spring Break and the beaches can get a bit wild. Please don't hold it against us.
Best Touristy Things
- Sunken Gardens - classic botanical gardens with an old Florida feel
- Dali Museum - biggest private Dali collection in the world, and very Instagram worthy
- Biking Mural Tour - We've got a ton of street art! Walk around or rent a bike with a guide.
Our Favorite Spots
Favorite Walking Districts for Exploring
- The Pier + Waterfront District - best place to walk around and enjoy the views
- Grand Central (start @ GC Brewhouse) - best artsy pubs, boutiques, and cafes; feels less touristy than downtown
Favorite Restaurants
- Bier Boutique - 2 blocks from our house, so this is our regular spot.
- Doc Ford's - favorite place to dine by the water and enjoy some live music. Call ahead if you can, because it gets busy.
Favorite Bars
- The Galley - Nautical themed, great rum drinks. This is our Cheers, where everybody knows our names.
- Pier Teaki - best spot to get a fancy cocktail and enjoy views of the city and the bay.
- The Landing - Rooftop bar with a divey feel.
