Wedding Officiant

Sanibel Beaches for Weddings!

As a 50-year resident of Sanibel Island, I know the islands and can help choose the best location for Sanibel and Captiva weddings. Sanibel Island provides a great backdrop for elopements. Captiva Island is a quiet and quaint location north of Sanibel Island. In addition, I can assist with your celebration dinner plans. The photograph below is from a vow renewal ceremony at the Sanibel Lighthouse in July 2023. View this post from a November 2024 elopement, we are “Sanibel Strong”.

Patricia is amazing! My fiance and I were out of state, and she helped us with all the arrangements. Sanibel took a hit with Hurricane Ian, but Patricia helped bring to life the wedding that we never knew was possible. Everything from the photographer to florist to location. Patricia is the best!

We called with very short notice and she was able to work us in the next morning. She did a great job. The location she took us to on Sanibel Island was very remote and breath takingly beautiful. It was the perfect experience for us. The price range was very fair!

We could not have had a better wedding ceremony, thanks to Patricia. The vows were perfect. The location was sublime. Patricia also booked a fantastic photographer and a makeup/hair stylist. And the reservation at Cielo was icing on the cake. Thank you so much, Patricia!

My wife Mary and I are singers. We perform at many events including weddings, memorial services, corporate and family parties. Pat reached out to us about a family function on Captiva Island that she was working on. Pat was exceptionally personable, well organized and thoughtful in helping us achieve our mutual goals. Everyone was delighted with her and the multiple, birthday event was a wonderful success thanks to Patricia Slater's coordination of the parties involved.

I had a wonderful experience with Patricia and our intimate wedding ceremony on the beach in Sanibel! She handled all the details, all we had to do was show up and enjoy! The venue and dinner was amazing, the photographer Frank was top notch! Beautiful flowers, delicious cake, it all made for a perfect wedding day! Thanks so much!
