Brandon and Mackenzie are choosing to get married in a small ceremony the day before a few hours away from Grayton Beach, then hold a large party for all friends and family to attend. That being said, the beach bonfire will consist of catered food, drinks, and fellowship celebrating the happy couple. A limited number of chairs will be available for the beach bonfire, but you are also welcome to bring your own beach chairs, food, or drink, based on your dietary needs and preferences.

There are a few important rules to keep in mind to make sure the beach bonfire is held according to the event permit! The happy couple would like for you to remember: -No glass is allowed on the beach. If you are BYOB, make sure it's NOT in a glass container. -This event is not pet-friendly. -Parking and bathroom use can be limited, please plan ahead (more info on parking and a free shuttle is below). -Please help us keep the beach clean and throw away all trash.

Please thoroughly research your options and select the best fit for you and your family. Ride share alternatives such as Uber are available locally for those who are staying within driving distance of the beach but do not have a car on-site.
