–(PR.com)– As
couples
continue
to
reimagine
what
a
meaningful
wedding
looks
like,

Emerald
Coast
Marriage

is
spotlighting
a
growing
trend:
hybrid
weddings
that
combine
intimate,
in-person
ceremonies
with
live-streamed
moments
shared
virtually
with
friends
and
family
across
the
globe.

The
company,
known
for
its
elegant
and
stress-free
beach
elopements
along
Florida’s
Gulf
Coast,
now
makes
it
easier
than
ever
for
couples
to
integrate
streaming
or
recording
devices
into
their
seaside
ceremony
setup.

The
Rise
of
Hybrid
Weddings
According
to
WeddingWire’s
2024
Newlywed
Report,
nearly
62%
of
couples
incorporated
a
live-streaming
component
into
their
wedding.
What
began
as
a
pandemic
workaround
has
become
a
lasting
cultural
shift,
allowing
couples
to
celebrate
with
guests
who
can’t
travel
due
to
distance,
health,
or
budget.

“Today’s
couples
value
intimacy,
connection,
and
affordability,”
said
Lindsey
Caldwell,
Founder
of
Emerald
Coast
Marriage.
“Our
wedding
packages
start
at
just
$700,
making
it
possible
for
couples
to
have
an
unforgettable
destination
experience
in
person
while
still
including
loved
ones
from
anywhere
through
simple
live-streaming
or
video
options.”

their
ceremony
in
real
time.

Beach

spaces
are
thoughtfully
arranged
to
make
it
simple
for

vows
if
they
choose.

team
can
offer
guidance
or

to
help
ensure
ideal
lighting,

“We
often
see
couples
setting
up
a
tablet
or
small
tripod
so
their
parents
or
friends
can
watch
live,”
Lindsey
Caldwell
added.
“We
love
supporting
that.
It’s
a
beautiful
way
to
connect
generations
and
keep
families
close,
even
from
miles
away.”

choose
from
several
breathtaking
