Held on the palm tree\u2013studded Event Lawn on a deck that cantilevers over the Gulf, the site for your exchange of vows is framed by nothing but sky, sea, and the resort\u2019s stunning curved facade. From there, your ceremony flows seamlessly into cocktail hour, with butler-passed hors d\u2019oeuvres and refreshments fetched from either the mosaic-tiled covered bar that borders the lawn or the signature drink station.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n                                                                    <\/div>\n                                                    <\/div>\n                                            <div class=\"swiper-slide\">\n                            <div class=\"itinerary-carousel__name\">Saturday Night<\/div>\n                                                            <div class=\"itinerary-carousel__item\">\n                                    <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"570\" height=\"517\" src=\"https:\/\/upload.opalcollection.com\/app\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2022\/08\/15154113\/saturday_night_block-e1660578142648-570x517.jpg\" class=\"itinerary-carousel__image\" alt=\"wedding dinner party set up at opal sands resort\" srcset=\"https:\/\/upload.opalcollection.com\/app\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2022\/08\/15154113\/saturday_night_block-e1660578142648-570x517.jpg 570w, https:\/\/upload.opalcollection.com\/app\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2022\/08\/15154113\/saturday_night_block-e1660578142648-300x272.jpg 300w, https:\/\/upload.opalcollection.com\/app\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2022\/08\/15154113\/saturday_night_block-e1660578142648-1024x928.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/upload.opalcollection.com\/app\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2022\/08\/15154113\/saturday_night_block-e1660578142648-768x696.jpg 768w, https:\/\/upload.opalcollection.com\/app\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2022\/08\/15154113\/saturday_night_block-e1660578142648-1536x1392.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/upload.opalcollection.com\/app\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2022\/08\/15154113\/saturday_night_block-e1660578142648-320x290.jpg 320w, https:\/\/upload.opalcollection.com\/app\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2022\/08\/15154113\/saturday_night_block-e1660578142648.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 570px) 100vw, 570px\" \/>\n                                                                            <div class=\"itinerary-carousel__headline\">Saturday Night<\/div>\n                                    \n                                                                            <h3 class=\"itinerary-carousel__title fs-5\">Dinner &amp; Dancing<\/h3>\n                                    \n                                                                            <div class=\"itinerary-carousel__desc\"><p>After making your grand entrance to the Opal Ballroom \u2013 a modern and elegant space featuring floor-to-ceiling windows and one-of-a-kind chandeliers that run just about the full length of the space \u2013 you\u2019ll dine on specialties such as pan-roasted grouper with roasted tomatoes and capers, or braised rosemary short rib with cabernet demi-glace.

Adventurous couples might arrange a trip to Caladesi Island State Park, one of the few completely natural islands along the Gulf Coast, where you can kayak through the mangroves, sunbathe on the white sand beach, or try your hand at fishing. Then, it\u2019s back to the resort where you\u2019ll raise a glass to yet another perfect sunset from your lounger at the zero-entry resort pool, with cocktails and light bites from Reflections Pool Bar.<br \/>\nNot ready for the fairytale to end? Why not extend your stay and get to know Clearwater Beach. If you haven\u2019t already, take in the sunset celebration at Pier 60, or pay a visit to the Clearwater Marine Aquarium. Dinner cruises and deep-sea fishing excursions depart daily from Clearwater Marina, and there\u2019s even more to do just a short drive from Clearwater Beach in the Greater Tampa-St. Pete area.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n                                                                    <\/div>\n                                                    <\/div>\n                                    <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n            <div class=\"itinerary-carousel__controls\">\n                <div class=\"swiper-pagination itinerary-carousel__swiper-pagination\"><\/div>\n                <div class=\"itinerary-carousel__mobile-btns\"><\/div>\n            <\/div>\n            <button type=\"button\" role=\"button\" class=\"c-arrow itinerary-carousel__nav itinerary-carousel__nav--next\" aria-label=\"Next slide\"><span><\/span><\/button>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"carousel\" id=\"carousel-block_760388cdf5a3f3a4965738c5729164cf\">\n    <div class=\"swiper-container carousel__swiper-container c-appeared\">\n        <div class=\"swiper-wrapper carousel__swiper-wrapper\">\n                            <div class=\"swiper-slide carousel__swiper-slide shadow lazy\" data-bg=\"https:\/\/upload.opalcollection.com\/app\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2022\/06\/01172043\/Opal-Sands-Celebrations-e1657040065559.jpeg\">\n                    <div class=\"container carousel__container\">\n                        <div class=\"carousel__header c-appeared\">\n                                                            <h2 class=\"carousel__title\">Our Venues<\/h2>\n                                                                                <\/div>\n                        <div class=\"carousel__info c-appeared\">\n                            <div class=\"carousel__tabs\">The Event Lawn<\/div>\n                            <div class=\"carousel__mobile\">\n                                <div class=\"carousel__category\">\n                                    The Event Lawn\n                                <\/div>\n                                <div class=\"carousel__controls carousel__controls--mobile\">\n                                    <button class=\"c-arrow c-arrow--white carousel__nav carousel__nav--prev\" aria-label=\"Previous slide\" type=\"button\" role=\"button\"><span><\/span><\/button>\n                                    <button class=\"c-arrow c-arrow--white carousel__nav carousel__nav--next\" aria-label=\"Next slide\" type=\"button\" role=\"button\"><span><\/span><\/button>\n                                <\/div>\n                            <\/div>\n                            <div class=\"carousel__content\">\n                                <p><strong>Capacity: 250 Guests<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Adjacent to the beach, the Event Lawn is Opal Sands\u2019 most sought-after outdoor ceremony location.
