Our Wedding

Our StoryIt all started on a dance floor. Jessica and Jacob met one night at a bar in Indiana, in their early 20’s, just two strangers out having fun who somehow ended up dancing the night away. One song turned into a few hours, and by the end of the night, they both knew this wasn’t just a random encounter. Fast forward seven years, three states, countless trips, new adventures, and a whole lot of laughter later… they’ve built a life together in North Carolina that feels like home (for now—because who knows where life will take them next!). Through every move and milestone, one thing’s been constant: they’ve always had each other. Now, they’re ready for their biggest adventure yet—getting married in St. Pete, Florida this February! Sunshine, good vibes, and all the people they love most… it doesn’t get better than that. Its definitely been a long time coming but we are so excited to get married!! From the dance floor to forever—this is Jessica and Jacob’s story ❤️

Wedding Party

We have included a few hotels with blocks in the St Pete area. One by the Pass A Grille Beach area and one downtown St. Pete. Feel free to book at one of these or any other hotel in the area! -If you do end up finding a place farther down by Clearwater Beach or in the Tampa area, that will probably be at least a 30 minute drive or longer to our beach wedding venue spot and the dinner location ***Must book rooms by Jan 9th, 2026***

Hotel close to Pass-A-Grille beach and about 15-20 min from the dinner venue

Travel

We recommend on whoever travels down to FL to turn it into a beach vacation for yourselves and not just our wedding celebration, as there are plenty of things to do in the area: Our favorite beaches in the area are Madeira Beach, Clearwater Beach and St Pete Beach ~ Since we used to live in the Tampa/St Pete area, we suggest going to Ulele for dinner and M Bird for drinks after in the Tampa Armature Works district ~ We also loved Green Lemon for Mexican &amp; Daily Eats for brunch in the Soho District of South Tampa ~ St Pete also has a very vibrant downtown scene and the Clearwater Beach area is very touristy and has a lot to do there as well. If you want, any specific recommendations of things to do, feel free to text one of us and we can try our best to help, thank you!!
