Sandestin Golf and Beach Resort

We got married July 2023 and worked with Kim and Jessalyn to plan the wedding. Kim was our first point of contact and was very upfront with everything! What was provided, what wasn’t, what was included in the quote and what wasn’t. I was never surprised by the information I was given. It was such a huge relief!! Kim also was so patient with my crazy back and forth to save a few bucks! She not only understood but tried to help in every way she possibly could!! Leading up to the wedding I was very stressed trying to do as much as I could and save those few last dollars. Kim told me it was time for Jessalyn to take over and the hand off was seamless!! Jessalyn took everything off my plate about two weeks before the wedding which was very surprising to me because I was only expecting help the day of the wedding. She took over contacting the other vendors to make sure they knew who what when where and why and finalized the schedule for the day of the wedding leaving me nothing to do but enjoy the fact that my wedding was finally here!! As soon as we arrived at San Destin Kim and Jessalyn were ready! They greeted me at my hotel helped me get checked in and helped calm my nerves for the dinner rehearsal. Side note, my fiancée and I attended the funeral of one of our very dear friends hours before our dinner and so when I say these two ladies went above and beyond, its and understatement! Wedding day- they had everything under control. I was able to get my hair and make up done in peace and enjoy time with my girls and family. They met with all the vendors when they showed up and really just made the day as stress free as possible for me and my husband. Even flexed our entire wedding since we had to move it inside due to rain, and again did that without stressing the bride!! During the wedding they made sure we ate food, had water or our drink of choice the whole time, and kept the timeline on track all the way up to our coordinated exit!! Jessalyn even rallied some of the guest that had a little too much. My only complaint is that the wedding is done and these two ladies have other brides to focus on other than me!! Working with them was like working with my best friends who had nothing but our best interests in mind. Here’s my advice, spend an extra few bucks! You won’t regret it!

Our wedding was amazing with the help of the ladies here. They responded within 24 hours whenever I had a question or concern. The day off was phenomenal. They definitely helped make this my DREAM wedding.

If anyone is looking for a beautiful location for their wedding I highly recommend the Sandestin Golf & Beach Resort. We had our ceremony on the beach and then our reception on the marina beach. We worked with Jennifer & the Sandestin wedding planner Zoe and they were beyond amazing!! The accommodated us in every way possible. We told them our vision & budget and they made it happen. Working with them made this whole wedding process easy and stress free!!

I honestly have to say to any couple looking for the best resort to get married at, choose Sandestin!! I think there are probably a lot of beautiful places to get married but what makes the difference was the wedding planning from Sandestin Zoe!!! She seriously made my event stress free and super organized. She was amazing to work with from start to end!! As someone who is very type A she made me feel at ease, there are so many different venue options in the property to choose from. Highly Recommend!!

I definitely recommend Sandestin Golf and Beach Resort; it has been our sanctuary our special place with ourselves and our kids and also now our destination for our beautiful wedding.

Jennifer Hankins, Lisa, and the whole team have not only made our vacation stays beautiful but Jennifer Hankins made our and my dream wedding come true.

The attention to detail, the exceptional service, organization, managing all our vendors and just pure kindness and overwhelming perfection.

Thank you for giving my family and us the magical wedding I’ve always wanted and dreamed of.

Mrs. Amber Williams & Mr. Michael Williams

I just had my wedding at this venue on September 29th 2018 and it exceeded all my expectaions! The staff was great, proffesional and responded effectively to all my emails. I must highlight their Amazing, Most talented and Creative Chef I have ever encounted, Chef Javier! Chef Javier’s Masterpiece Puertorican Menu was the most delicious piertorican food I have ever had, even my Mom and Granny agreed, all my guests are still raving about it, thank you so much!!

Truly the most beautiful place to get married!! Mary-Katherine and Wayne were incredible, I couldn't have done it without them! It was raining the morning/afternoon of our wedding and we moved the ceremony from the beach to the bay view terrace last minute and everything turned out perfectly!! If I could do it all over again, I wouldn't change a thing. I highly recommend this resort for you special day.

If you want a perfect fairy tale wedding come HERE!!
The setting is beautiful , service hands on and all will be handled with class, taste, patience and LOVE! Mary Catherine will start to become like FAMILY! She was amazing in every way . Now that it’s over - I miss her!! She took every call , allowed many many meeting with me over the past year to go over and over everything and gave superior advice from the heart. She also helped me stay on budget! It was done even better than we expected or could have dreamed for!
Having it on the resort all weekend allowed everyone to be together in one place for more than just the big day. Having the weeeknd together there makes lasting memories and deeper bonds with everyone FOREVER!! The property is beautiful and the stunning rooms on the resort are so comfortable - so all of your guests are happy and closeby too making the event weekend even more special and memorable!
I just got home from the wedding weekend and as the MOB should be exhausted - instead I am still on a high from it all! It was perfect ! I would do it all again TODAY and not change ONE THING!! Thank you Mary Catherine and to everyone there who worked so hard to make it the BEST DAY EVER!!

We had the most magical and special wedding at Sandestin. The wedding coordinator, Mary-Katherine Owen, is listerally the best and made our day relaxing, special, and truly the best day ever. We had our wedding 3/25/17 at Sandestin. We originally had planned for it to be outside, but with Florida weather, we had to change it to an inside venue for the ceremony with the reception still held at the beautiful Bayview Room and Terrace. Mary-Katherine Owen, truly saved the day and turned our last minute inside wedding, into the most beautiful and magical indoor/outdoor covered patio fairytale. The resort was the perfect place for our families and friends to spend the weekend hanging out at the beach, having a bonfire on the beach with s'mores and pizza, shopping, and even going out with out friends. We had people from all over the world, everywhere and all ages rom Louisiana all the way to England and Sweden, and all had a wonderful time. Mary-Katherine made our day and week relaxing, exciting, fun, magical, special, and even better than we ever thought our wedding would be. She went above and beyond to make sure we were happy. We used Sandestin for catering as well, and it was truly the best food our family and friends had ever had including the pasta station along with fajita station and fish and chips. Catering worked with us to make our menu personalized with items from my Louisiana culture and my husbands British culture. Not only was the resort beautiful, there were so many activities for everyone, and transportation provided within the resort for our guests without cars. We could not be happier with our choice for our special day.

Ask for Mary Catherine - she was excellent in helping us arrange and find the best place at the resort for our growing rehearsal dinner - food was excellent the night of the rehearsal and staff very attentive - we had it at the Bayside Ballroom and Terrace- we were very pleased with our evening - view was so pretty also!
