Where is Anna Maria Island?

Anna Maria Island is located on the gulf coast of Florida. It is approximately 20 miles from Sarasota.

Do I have to stay on the island?

No, you can definitely find a less expensive Air Bnb/ VRBO or hotel in the Sarasota area.

Is Bradenton Beach the same as Bradenton?

No! Bradenton Beach is located on Anna Maria Island, which is near Siesta Key and Longboat Key. The city of Bradenton has some really nice areas as well as some not so nice pockets.

What kind of food and drinks will be there?

There will be a buffet with various options and an open bar. Please let us know if you have any food allergies or dietary restrictions.

What airport should we fly into?

Sarasota/Bradenton International Airport (SRQ) is definitely the closest to fly into. Allegiant has direct flights from Allentown to Sarasota, but they currently only fly on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Sundays. Punta Gorda/Fort Myers Airport (PGD) is about an hour and fifteen minutes drive to Anna Maria Island. If you travel from the Philadelphia Airport, there are usually numerous flights daily.

Where will Brian, Rae and family be staying?

We rented a house on Anna Maria Island near 85th St. We hope to meet up with anyone staying in the area prior to the wedding.
