Fairy Godmother Events & Parties Mini Chapel at Bayshore Live Oak Park in Port Charlotte, Florida

“Everybody loves Port Charlotte. I can take my chapel anywhere in the state, but 90% of my Florida couples bring their entire wedding parties to my base location in Bayshore Live Oak Park for the beautiful setting and ambiance.

I’ve even had out-of-state couples cancel huge ceremonies at home and bring everyone here. They stay at local hotels, explore our extensive independent restaurant scene, and enjoy our outdoor activities.” – Sonja Conboy, Fairy Godmother Events & Parties
