Allan Zuckerman and Beach Breeze Weddings

Beach Breeze Weddings is a Sarasota company run by Allan Zuckerman and Luis, who handle every wedding themselves. They have delivered beach and garden weddings on the Florida Gulf Coast for nearly 20 years, and take only one event per day, so the date is theirs alone.

The service is built around the ceremony. For a single price they supply the officiant, microphone and music, seating, a draped arch or canopy, live greenery and shell accents, a combed sand aisle, signs, and a sand ceremony. Allan officiates, and has led more than 2,000 weddings, including Catholic, interfaith, Jewish, same-sex and bilingual Spanish and English ceremonies.

“We deliver everything we promise and more.”

Beach Breeze Weddings

They also dress receptions with layered white drapery, a dais table, uplighting and centrepieces, and will recommend DJs, photographers and venues. They are open that they are not a full-service planner for the whole event; a custom planning service is available for couples who want it, and a rain plan is agreed in advance, usually moving the ceremony into the reception space.

Their work covers beaches and venues from Boca Grande to Tampa, including Lido Beach, Siesta Key, Longboat Key, Anna Maria Island, Venice, Bradenton and Lakewood Ranch. Past venues include Mary's Chapel at Spanish Point, Pier 22 and the Florida Studio Theatre. Couples rate them 4.9 out of 5 across 129 reviews, and the business displays WeddingWire Couples' Choice Awards for 2019, 2020, 2021 and 2023 and a Hitched Wedding Award for 2022.

Stress free, beautiful beach wedding!

Our initial wedding plans were cancelled due to Covid-19 two months before our date, so we had to throw together a ceremony on short notice. Allan and Luis were amazing!! Allan was extremely responsive, SO easy to work with, and provided beautiful decor and officiant services! I can absolutely say they went above and beyond with everything! Plus, they were very flexible and ensured I had zero stress on my wedding day! I can’t recommend them enough!

Top notch wedding planners

These guys are TRUE professionals at what they do. To put this together on very short notice and not miss a single detail is more than we could have ever imagined. Our sunset ceremony was on Anna Maria Island and the decor, vows and timing was impeccable. They even hooked us up with a photographer and restaurant. DO NOT GO ANYWHERE ELSE. You will not be disappointed. They feel like my best friends and knew just what we wanted and made it happen.

Fantastic ceremony

Allan did an exceptional wedding for us. He and Luis made us feel comfortable and relaxed knowing they had everything under control. The set up was absolutely beautiful and the ceremony was spot on. We couldn’t have asked for anything more. Thank you again for making our beautiful wedding so memorable.

The perfect wedding

100% pleased with Allan’s planning, preparation and attention to detail. They arrived early and didn’t miss a beat! We had the perfect ceremony, day, weather… I could go on and on. Allan and Luis did a fabulous job. I can’t say enough about them ! We both recommend beach breeze to everyone. The setting was spectacular, the shell toss, sand ceremony, and the conch was perfect! We were both so happy we wished everyone we know could have been with us to see the beautiful moments as we did. Melissa & Scott

Questions couples ask

Before you write to them

How much does a beach wedding with Beach Breeze Weddings cost?

The classic fabric arch package is $2,200 and the canopy package $2,400, both including the officiant, music and seating for 30. An officiant with music and chairs is $850, and a simple officiant-only service starts at $600.

Where do they work?

They work in venues and on beaches from Boca Grande to Tampa, including Sarasota, Lido Beach, Siesta Key, Longboat Key, Anna Maria Island, Venice, Bradenton and Lakewood Ranch.

How do couples book?

Couples send the enquiry form, take a call and receive a written summary. A 50% non-refundable deposit holds the date, and the balance is due before the wedding.

What happens if it rains?

A backup plan is agreed well in advance. A pipe and drape arch and draped dais work indoors, and the reception space is often used for the ceremony. Moving a large wedding by more than a day counts as a cancellation.

Do they handle beach permits and the marriage licence?

No. Beach permits and the Florida marriage licence are the couple's responsibility. Allan is a Florida notary and can validate the licence at no charge.

Do they offer bilingual or interfaith ceremonies?

Yes. The team is bilingual and delivers Spanish and English ceremonies, as well as Catholic, interfaith, Jewish and same-sex weddings.

How many weddings do they take on a day?

One. Both owners are present from set-up to breakdown.

Do they plan the whole wedding?

The standard service covers the ceremony and optional reception decor. Full event management starts at $2,000, with a 10% surcharge on services booked through them.
