Florida #1 in Destination Wedding Survey

2009-10-12T21:12:00.006-04:00

In a recent survey conducted by http://www.destinationweddingmag.com/, Florida was named as the top domestic location for destination weddings, replacing Hawaii with 17% of the market. The trend for destination weddings is up, and smaller more intimate guest lists are also 'in'.

Our sales coordinator will work with you to assist in making your ceremony and reception match the one of your dreams. Weddings at The Reef are 'all about the bride and groom'--we go out of our way to cater to your needs.
