Wedding Venue in Cocoa Beach, FL
Your Cocoa Beach Wedding
The sun rises over the Atlantic, painting the sky in soft pinks and oranges. You're standing on the beach where astronauts have walked, where rockets still arc into the sky, where the dreams of space exploration began. And in this moment, the only thing that matters is the person holding your hands and the vows you're about to exchange. That's a Cocoa Beach wedding.
Cocoa Beach offers something no other Florida wedding destination can: the chance to get married where rockets launch into space.
Located on Florida's Atlantic Coast, just minutes from Kennedy Space Center and Cape Canaveral, Cocoa Beach has a unique energy. It's where astronauts have trained and surfers have competed. Where small-town beach vibes meet big dreams. Where the sunrise over the Atlantic creates a completely different kind of magic than the Gulf Coast sunsets.
" Our beach wedding in April was nothing short of a fairytale! From start to finish, everything was flawlessly organized, creating the most magical day we could have ever imagined.
— Stephanie & Marcus, November 2025
