Dani and Chris

Dani and Chris, a couple from Georgia, chose the iconic Don CeSar on St. Pete Beach for their intimate elopement. On a beautiful morning in late September, they exchanged vows amidst the enchanting setting of the Pink Palace®.

The Don CeSar, a true legend since 1928, exudes old-world glamour and sophistication. Perched atop windswept dunes, it offers breathtaking views of the Gulf of Mexico and the surrounding coastline. Over the years, it has welcomed a host of celebrities, from silver screen stars to renowned authors, all seeking a private and luxurious retreat. It was the perfect location for Dani and Chris to tie the knot.

Dani, escorted by her son, walked gracefully across the sandy beach to join Chris at their ceremony site, located in front of the iconic swing behind the Don. Their custom-designed ceremony included a touching remembrance for Chris’s grandparents and Dani’s father, followed by the meaningful Blessing of the Hands ritual.

With an intimate gathering of family members witnessing their love, Dani and Chris shared heartfelt vows, exchanged rings, and were pronounced husband and wife by Rev. Rick Lackore of Sensational Ceremonies. The breathtaking view of the Gulf of Mexico served as a picturesque backdrop for their special moment.

Jennifer and the staff at The Don CeSar provided exceptional venue and event coordination, ensuring every detail was perfect for the couple’s celebration. Special thanks to Tammy of True Love Photography for capturing the couple’s precious moments during the ceremony.

Congratulations to the newlyweds, Mr. and Mrs. Christopher Spargo! May their love continue to blossom like the vibrant hues of the Pink Palace®, amidst the timeless beauty of St. Pete Beach.
