TROPICAL GARDEN
If you love the idea of getting
married outside under blue skies,
surrounded by colorful tropical landscape
and water, you might consider
the city’s beautiful downtown waterfront
park. Have the ceremony outside

reception. Another popular choice
is Sunken Gardens, a landmark Old
Florida attraction that has been beautifully
restored as a four-acre urban
oasis of plants, birds and waterfalls.
