Sorry Laura for being 10 minutes late. Simple Destin Weddings ....... all I can say is it was absolutely fabulous and I recommend it 100 times. It was the perfect setting on the beach at Beasley Park. Although I had tunnel vision, excitingly staring and anxiously getting to my groom, Laura was AWESOME. How did she put up with me ?? LOL Laura and Mike took care of everything, thank you so very much. :)
HAPPY, HAPPY, HAPPY

Our wedding was perfect, Laura was very patient with us as we set up our surprise proposal / wedding on the beach. We wanted to surprise our kids who have been wanting us to get married for over a year now, we staged a family picture day on the beach and then turned it into a wedding which Laura took part in. The ceremony was simple, sincere, heartfelt and exactly the way we wanted it. Other than the family picture, nothing was staged or rehearsed, there was no stress, and no cleanup! I couldn't be happier that our special day was truly enjoyable from sunup to sundown.

Our wedding day was exactly as we hoped it would be! We enjoyed working with the Martins. They were accommodating, flexible and made sure our wedding was calm and beautiful. The photographer was great and everyone made sure that my husband and I were the only one that mattered that day! We would highly recommend using simple destin weddings.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
