Setting is the new Doctor's Garden event space
A new trend is live streaming weddings. This one was just a group of eight. Their wedding was cancelled in California with a guest list of 200, so they held it at the Doctor's Garden with just immediate family and livestreamed it for almost two hundred virtual guests.
That wedding will be featured in the Anna Maria Island Wedding magazine, funded in part by a Visit Florida grant for outreach to destination couples. This is the highlight link: https://www.
Here is the cover and first page of the magazine. The entire marketing piece will be completed by December, and is expected to be 60-80 pages long. https://.../605435-2.pdfhttps://.../605436-3.pdf
I also created a marketing piece with winners voted on by local vendors. The link is below.
