In addition to the policies and procedures set by Vacasa, all guests and attendees must follow the beach rules and regulations set by the city where the property is located.
As a rule, weddings are not allowed on the Gulf Shores public beaches from spring break through Labor Day weekend, especially if a large group is expected.
No chairs, gazebos, arches, etc. are allowed to be placed on public beaches.
If you're renting a private beach house or condo, and you get permission from the owners to conduct a wedding, no permits are required from the city. However, you do need to make your guests aware that they cannot park on the road rights-of-way.
