Whether it's an intimate gathering garbed in Renaissance gowns or 1,000 guests classically attired for a traditional ceremony, Cinderella wishes and fairy tale romances come true at more than 300 weddings per year at Don CeSar Beach Resort - Florida's Legendary Pink Palace since 1928. Rising regally from the sugary Gulf shores of St. Pete Beach, the Don surrounds the betrothed in a wedding cake setting while resort specialists make bridal whims a reality with brilliant turnkey programs from obtaining marriage licenses to arranging sunset hot air balloon departures.
One of the overwhelming enticements of the Don, which attracts wedding parties from as far away as Scotland, is simple -- it is picture perfect. The legendary landmark architecture of the Don reflects a flamingo-pink, Mediterranean castle sharply chiseled against the sky and accented by Moorish bell towers and imperial turrets. Fittingly described by the Atlanta Journal Constitution as "an old-fashioned, pink-iced wedding cake towering over the shore," the resort's powdery beaches, sweeping staircases and tropical gardens are breathtaking accents for wedding ceremonies and portraits.
A comprehensive program at the Don allows brides to arrange either a select few or all wedding details through the resort, from videographers and bands to flowers and cakes.
Brides can choose everything from black tie ballroom extravaganzas to barefoot beachfront receptions -- each capturing the bride's personal preference.
It's traditional and yet non-traditional at the Don. You can say 'I do' any way you want and create your own dream -- there are no rules.
Weddings at the Don range from Scottish ceremonies complete with bagpipes and family tartan kilts with woolly socks for the wedding party to Tex-Mex fiestas with a steak cookout and line dancing. Other unique themes have included traditional Persian Muslim ceremonies and authentic Italian celebrations. Whether the reception calls for the release of hundreds of butterflies on the courtyard steps or a floral shower from the sky, the historical resort provides the ideal setting.
The Don CeSar Beach Resort not only offers couples picturesque weddings, but is also the ultimate honeymoon destination. A honeymoon registry allows loved ones to give the betrothed anything from a weekend getaway at the Don to a sunset dolphin cruise to seaside spa pampering services to relieve pre-wedding jitters.
In addition to seven-and-one-half miles of pearlescent sand beaches, other temptations include a lavish Beach Club & Spa featuring soothing sea salt body scrubs and surfside massages, The Maritana Grille -- the resort's signature Four Diamond restaurant serving delectable Floribbean cuisine -- featuring The Chef's Table. Nearby diversions include action-packed Bush Gardens, the artistic Salvador Dali Museum and professional sporting events in Tampa.
Blending seaside elegance and sunset finales with the enchantment of yesteryear, the pampered service of the Don has captivated newlyweds, as well as those celebrating 50 years of marriage.
