Longboat Island Chapel — Local services in Longboat Key

If you want to get married here, its not worth the money. Yes, it is beautiful...the only positive outcome was my pictures. The woman who runs the weddings acts as if she has never done it before. The rehearsal was 15 minutes and we did not go over anything. I wanted to go over a bubble exit and she acted as if I was crazy to want a bubble exit. Because of the lack of the rehearsal the ceremony was a mess. The groomsman walked with no music, the bridesmaids were lead in the wrong order, the mothers were forced to go with no ushers down the isle, the ushers had to awkwardly walk in later. The lady was supposed to lead our wedding and was no where to be found. My dad and I were told she would come back to tell us when to walk, and forgot. After the bridesmaid were lined up, and the parents were sat-I still had not been told to walk the isle. My dad and I finally just went down stairs to walk. Finally, their pastor made our ceremony completely uncomfortable for all the guests. We brought in our family pastor to marry us, but the long boat pastor still insisted on being apart of it. That would have been fine if he did not do it in a weird way. After my husband and I said I do, we began to do our exit. As we were walking away, and people began to applaud, he yelled "Wait you are not married yet". We then had to do the 'I do's" again with their pastor...Every guest mentioned how awkward and weird that was. It;s now humorous but at the time was humiliating. Do not get married here if you want high anxiety, and a mess...
