Location:
The West Events is fortunate to call Madeira Beach home. Located between St. Pete Beach & Clearwater Beach, this 2.5-mile stretch of sand sits between two of the best-rated beaches in the world. St. Pete Beach was named Trip Advisor's No. 1 Beach in the U.S. in 2021. Nearby Clearwater Beach has also earned accolades as the No. 1 beach in the U.S. in 2019, 2018 & 2016. With ample attractions, hotels, & restaurants, this small beach town has it all. The West Events is perfectly situated steps away from the beach. Whether you are looking for a beach ceremony or just post-ceremony sunset pictures, this beachside venue is the perfect spot! We say have your cake & eat it too!
