Emerald Grande at HarborWalk Village is a waterfront wedding venue located in Destin, Florida. This is a unique venue because it is where four bodies of water meet: the Destin Harbor, the East Pass, the Choctawhatchee Bay and the Gulf of Mexico. The coastal feel provides a romantic backdrop for any couple’s big day.
We got married this past October at the Emerald Grande (on the beach) and everything was absolutely perfect! We live in Fort Worth Texas so we actually booked the Emerald Grande before even seeing it! We had been in contact with Emily Buckley and had many phone calls with her and she answered all of our questions and got rid of any doubts we may have had about the venue. Emily & Christine were AMAZING and so much fun! Months, weeks, and days leading up to our wedding they were always available to help us when needed. Emily made sure our wedding day went by smoothly - and I must say - there truly were no issues or hiccups at all! It was my own wedding & it was easiest, most seamless day because of her! The food at our reception was also sooo tasty! We did buffet style & it turned out perfect. Definitely not the normal/gross wedding food that I've had in the past. The fried coconut shrimp was my husbands favorite appetizer! It was by far the wedding I've been too ;) Highly recommend the Emerald Grande, & highly recommend using Emily & Christine!

The most amazing wedding and reception!
My husband and I were extremely happy with how our wedding and reception turned out! We are from out of town, and communicating was a breeze. You can put your trust in them to get everything how you want it for your big day! I highly recommend them, and wouldn't change a thing about our wedding!

We worked with Julie and, after her retirement, Emily at the Emerald Grande, and they did such an amazing job! The venue is absolutely beautiful, and we could not have been happier with how things turned out! Emily was so sweet and easy to work with and really made wedding planning fun! The food at the Emerald Grande is absolutely amazing! Our guests all commented on it, and we thought it was so great that the chef came and talked to us at our tasting and was at our reception running our carving station! They made us feel like a huge priority and I would highly recommend the Emerald Grande and their stuff for any wedding or special event!
Emerald Grande at Harborwalk Village is a beautiful place to have a wedding. I have been an on-location HMUA at this hotel many times and the rooms are always beautiful, clean, and spacious with spectacular views. I endorse this vendor.
