Denise and Michael

In order to assist with the arraignments for their last-minute Elopement Ceremony on Tuesday on a gorgeous evening earlier this year, Denise and Michael contacted the resort staff on Monday. They wanted to Elope at the JW Marriott Resort and Spa on Clearwater Beach.  

The new JW Marriott Clearwater Beach offers guests breathtaking luxury in an idyllic beachfront location where blue skies meet powdery sand and crystal-clear water. The resort features restaurants such as Latitude 28, which specializes in fresh Florida-focused cuisine with Mediterranean influences, ESKaPe Beach Bar & Grille, which serves local favorites, and The Deep End, a rooftop restaurant and bar with panoramic views. With over 17,000 square feet of event space and an award-winning beachfront location, the JW Marriott Clearwater Beach is a resort unlike any other. Its exclusive beach provides ample opportunity for private beachfront events with views of the Gulf of Mexico and the renowned sunsets. It was the perfect location for Denise and Michael to tie the knot.

Denise walked across the sand to meet Michael at the location of their ceremony, which was held on the JW’s Private Beach.  The Blessing of the Hands was a part of the ritual that the couple specially created.  Next, as Denise’s parents watched from a breathtaking vantage point overlooking the Gulf of Mexico, the couple exchanged vows and rings, and Rev Rick Lackore of Sensational Ceremonies pronounced them husband and wife.  

Chris and the rest of the JW staff handled the event and venue coordination. Special thanks go out to Kristina from Visual Muse Studio for supplying this lovely photo taken during their ceremony.

Congratulations to Michael and Denise Peters, the new Mr. and Mrs!
