Claire and Luke
Claire and Luke chose the beautiful Opal Sands Resort on Florida’s Gulf Coast as the venue for their wedding ceremony and reception in late early May. With 17,000 square feet of innovative indoor and outdoor event space featuring magnificent views of the Gulf of America, the Opal Sands is the perfect setting for romantic weddings on Clearwater Beach.
A beacon of modern design, Opal Sands Resort invites guests to experience a contemporary Clearwater Beach retreat where every guest room, suite, restaurant and event venue all feature stunning views of the Gulf of Mexico. Guests will discover a serene beachfront escape, awe-inspiring sunsets and the natural beauty of the Gulf and Clearwater Beach Skyline. The Opal Sands features a fresh, contemporary design that reflects their beach-chic atmosphere. Guests can soak up the sun and take a dip in the Gulf front zero-entry outdoor pool and hot tub, refresh their senses in the full-service Opal Spa, relish upscale waterfront dining at one of the resort’s three restaurants and unwind at the beachside Sandbar Tiki Bar while watching the sun set over the Gulf of Mexico.
Claire looked stunning in her wedding gown as she was escorted down the aisle by her father, to join Luke in front of their wedding arch. The couples’ custom designed wedding ceremony included a Thank You to the Parents, the poem The One and a scripture reading from the Book of Ruth. Then, as their family and friends looked on, and with an amazing view of the Gulf of America as their backdrop, the couple shared their vows, exchanged rings and were pronounced husband and wife by Rev Rick Lackore with Sensational Ceremonies.
Ceremony music and sound was provided by the Matt Winter Band; Florals and Décor by Leaf It To Us; Videography by ML Studios; Venue Coordination by Jenna, and the rest of the staff at the Opal Sands; and Event Coordination by Carley with Day of Details Coordination. Special thanks to Corner House Photography for providing this beautiful picture during their ceremony.
Congratulations to the new Mr. and Mrs. Luke and Claire Sternberg!
