Meghan + Zachary Step Into The Limelight | Zota Beach Resort | Longboat Key, FL

Meghan and Zach’s story began with a swipe in the right direction.

As people sought connection during the quiet moments of lockdown, Meghan and Zach found each other.

A couple of years after meeting, during a trip to Savannah, Georgia, Zach asked Meghan to spend forever with him. She said yes, and the countdown to their dream wedding began.

That dream came to life at the breathtaking Zota Beach Resort in Sarasota, Florida—a perfect setting for their classy, tropical beach wedding. With elegant touches of green and lush natural décor woven throughout the celebration, the entire day reflected the fresh, vibrant feel of spring.

They exchanged vows with their feet in the sand, the ocean breeze dancing through the air, and the rhythmic sound of waves offering the most peaceful atmosphere. It was a day filled with warmth, beauty, and undeniable joy—a true celebration of a love that was meant to be.

Kiele + Scott Step Into The Limelight | Longboat Key Club | Sarasota, FL

Kiele and Scott’s Dreamy Beach Wedding at Longboat Key Club

Kiele and Scott’s love story began long before they officially started dating. As kids, their families were intertwined—both sets of grandparents were best friends and neighbors, and their mothers, Yvette and Lisa, shared a deep friendship that extended through their childhoods. After years of friendship, their friend group finally convinced them to take the next step, and the rest was history.

The Proposal
On February 17, 2024, during a snowstorm, Scott proposed to Kiele in the most genuine way possible. With their two beloved dogs, Leo and Beau, by their side, Scott popped the question while they were out on a walk. It was a moment filled with love, simplicity, and surprise, a perfect reflection of their connection.

What They Loved About Each Other
Kiele adored how Scott was her constant—whether it was something fun, stressful, or a big decision, Scott was the person she turned to. His love and support made him her person, through and through. Plus, she couldn’t resist those eyes! For Scott, Kiele’s personality and caring heart were what he cherished most. She truly cared for everyone she met, making her even more special to him.

Their Wedding Story
Kiele had always dreamed of getting married in Florida, a place close to her heart due to her family’s beach house just outside of Tampa. Both she and Scott loved the beach, and with Scott preferring a smaller, more intimate gathering, their wedding at Longboat Key Club was the perfect blend of their desires.

The Wedding Style
Their wedding had a modern tropical laid-back vibe, perfectly suited to the beach location. Kiele wore a classy yet flowy dress that captured the beachy atmosphere, while Scott’s blue suit complemented both him and the venue’s stunning seaside setting. The day was all about celebrating their love with just their closest family and friends.

Favorite Wedding Moments
The beach ceremony stood out as one of their favorite parts of the day, as they shared their vows in the presence of their loved ones. Dancing, drinking, and celebrating with their favorite people brought them immense joy, and having someone so close to both of them officiate made the ceremony even more memorable.

Monica and Matt's wedding was a perfect blend of elegance and celebration, with the ceremony held at the scenic Longboat Key Club and the reception following at the lively and charming Spike n Tees.

The day began with a stunning outdoor ceremony at Longboat Key Club, where Monica and Matt exchanged vows overlooking the beautiful Gulf Coast. The sky was clear, and the sun shone brightly as the couple stood before their closest family and friends. Monica, radiant in her white gown, walked down the aisle to meet Matt, whose eyes were filled with love and anticipation. The soft sound of waves lapping at the shore and the gentle sea breeze created a peaceful, almost magical atmosphere as they made their promises to each other. The ceremony was heartfelt and intimate, and when they were pronounced husband and wife, the guests erupted in applause as the couple shared their first kiss.

After the ceremony, everyone moved to the reception at Spike n Tees, a venue known for its welcoming and relaxed atmosphere, which provided a fun contrast to the formal setting of the ceremony. The reception was filled with energy and laughter as guests enjoyed delicious food and drinks in a laid-back, celebratory environment. Spike n Tees, with its inviting and rustic charm, offered a more intimate and personal vibe, allowing Monica and Matt to truly connect with their loved ones in a casual setting.

The reception kicked off with a memorable first dance, with the couple taking center stage to share a tender moment before inviting everyone to join in the fun. The night was filled with heartfelt speeches, delicious food, and plenty of dancing, as guests celebrated the couple’s love and the start of their new life together. The atmosphere was light-hearted and full of joy, with everyone enjoying the vibrant energy of the celebration.

As the night progressed, guests indulged in sweet treats and continued to dance and socialize, creating lasting memories. The wedding cake, a beautiful creation, was a perfect ending to the meal, and the couple shared a sweet moment as they cut the cake together.

Monica and Matt's wedding day was a perfect combination of elegance and fun, with the ceremony at Longboat Key Club setting a romantic tone, and the reception at Spike n Tees offering a more relaxed yet equally memorable celebration. It was a day filled with love, laughter, and cherished moments that everyone in attendance will never forget.
