Coleen and Mike

Coleen and Mike chose the Belleview Inn as the venue for their wedding ceremony and reception in late April.     

The Belleview Inn, also known as the “The White Queen of the Gulf”, was built by Henry Plant, who originally built eight grand hotels throughout western Florida from Tampa to Punta Gorda. Today, the Belleview Inn is one of the two remaining Plant hotels standing. It sits on a bluff in Belleair, FL overlooking Clearwater Bay and has been painstakingly restored into a Luxury Florida Gulf Inn. Now, the restored Belleview Inn is part of the Opal Collection, a premier ensemble of luxury destinations.

Belleview Inn is one of the country’s best hidden gems for weddings. Small enough to ensure privacy and intimacy, but with world-class design and amenities, Belleview Inn sets the stage for a truly unforgettable ceremony. It was the perfect location for Coleen and Mike to get married.

Coleen looked gorgeous in her wedding gown as she was escorted down the aisle by her brother, to join Mike at the foot of the staircase.  The couples’ custom designed wedding ceremony included The Lord’s Prayer, The Art of Marriage, and The Irish Wedding Blessing.  Then, in front of their family and friends, the couple shared their vows, exchanged rings, and were pronounced husband and wife by Rev Rick Lackore with Sensational Ceremonies.

Event and Venue Coordination was provided by Renee and the rest of the catering staff at the Sandpearl Resort.  Special thanks to Tammy, with True Love Photography for providing this beautiful photography during their ceremony.

Congratulations to the new Mr. and Mrs. Mike and Coleen Dillard!
