The island government has only two rules for weddings. They are designed to keep our beaches clean and safe for everyone -- including you and your wedding party. 

The rules: 

•  Tents over 10' x 12' require advance permission from the Santa Rosa Island Authority. Contact SRIA at 1 Via De Luna, Pensacola Beach, FL 32561
  Tel: (850) 932-2257. 
  
  
• Your wedding may be sited anywhere along the eight mile beach and no permission is required. However, permission is needed to use the Band Shell on Quietwater Boardwalk or the Pavilion at Casino Beach. You must fill out a form request and submit it at least 30 days in advance.  Among the requirements are: a. Proof of liability in the amount of $1,000,000.00; b. Letter of request to use the facility; and c. An outline of activities.  Again, contact the SRIA at the address and telephone above. 

Chairs may be set up on the beach for the convenience of guests. 

Of course, general rules and common sense still apply. Glass containers are never allowed on the beach.  And, please leave only your footprints when you depart.
