 Check Calendar for Possible Availability

If you see a Red thumbtack with the words "Contract Pending" on the calendar, the date and time may still be available. If you see such a conflict, I will be happy to contact the couple to see if they intend to confirm their booking.

Public Facilities

Parks, Civic Centers and Community Centers

The Brevard County Parks and Recreation Department maintains a wide variety of public facilities available for ceremonial use. Whether you dream of a wedding on the beach, prefer a commitment ceremony at a park pavilion or would like a vow renewal during a family reunion at a campground, there is a park in Brevard County for you. Weekend pavilion reservations go fast, so I encourage you to contact the Parks and Recreation Department sooner rather than later. For more information about beach weddings, please visit the Beach Weddings section of my website.

In addition to Brevard County, the cities and towns within the county also have very nice civic facilities available for rent. Visit the Leisure Services page of the Melbourne city website for information on such venues as the Front Street Civic Center. The city of Satellite Beach has a lovely venue, the Pelican Beach Clubhouse, for small to medium sized weddings.

Cocoa is home to the adorable Derby Street chapel, charming Porcher House and sizable Cocoa Civic Center.

I have listed the most popular public banquet facilities below, but you are sure to find more by visiting your local municipality's website and browsing their leisure or parks and recreation section.

Private Facilities

Hotels, Country clubs, Restaurants, Banquet Halls

Many of Brevard's hotels, country clubs, restaurants, etc. are available for weddings and may provide wedding consultants and/or facility coordinators. I have experience officiating weddings at many different locations and would be more than happy to provide my honest appraisal of facilities and services. Some facilities are better suited to certain wedding styles and sizes than others.

I confess to the most familiarity with centrally located venues in Brevard County. I am less familiar with potential sites in the far northern and southern extremes of this long and narrow county, but I am never adverse to a little research. Please understand this is far from a complete list and I welcome recommendations for additional venues.

The Tides Collocated Club Patrick Air Force Base

The grounds of the Rossetter House in Eau Gallie are quite nice for garden weddings and can accommodate up to 100 people without a permit from the city.

The Yellow Dog Cafe in Malabar has a lovely back deck along the river for hosting a gorgeous wedding right at your reception site. The food and service are impeccable.

The Crowne Plaza,  Hilton, and Doubletree  hotels on the beach in Melbourne have beautiful beach front wedding facilities and excellent event staff to ensure as stress-free a day as possible.

Military personnel and their friends and family have access to The Tides Collocated Club at Patrick Air Force Base. They have a lovely deck overlooking the beach that will accommodate small to large weddings and several banquet rooms of varying sizes. In fact I have seen them successfully accommodate two separate wedding parties at the same time. Their catering manager is a delight and they have alternate space in case of inclement weather.

Keep in mind that some facilities, such as The Tides and the Eau Gallie Yacht Club, require sponsorship by a member of the club. This may very well be the case with other country clubs but I do not know specifics from personal experience.  Wherever you have your wedding it will be absolutely beautiful and uniquely your own. Have fun!
