AMI Beach Weddings

AMI Beach Weddings, founded by Karen Riley-Love, specializes in heartfelt, stress-free destination weddings on the shores of Anna Maria Island, Florida. With a focus on intimate beach ceremonies, elopements, and vow renewals, the company offers full-service planning, from permits and florals to photography, officiants, and day-of coordination. Serving mostly couples who plan from out of state or abroad, AMI Beach Weddings delivers a seamless experience rooted in local expertise, trusted vendor relationships, and an unwavering commitment to quality over commissions. Every couple receives a personalized planning toolkit, including welcome guides and detailed timelines, designed to simplify long-distance coordination and build confidence. With eight years of successful weddings and a growing international client base, Riley-Love is now launching a licensing model under Florida Coastal Weddings—empowering like-minded planners to replicate AMI’s hyper-local, relationship-first approach in other beach communities across Florida.
