Conveniently located just 15 minutes from the beautiful white sand beaches of Destin, Florida, The Event Room is the local go-to spot for every type of event - most popular, however, for weddings. With a charming ambiance and friendly-and-focused owner, The Event Room was created with you in mind.

About the Owner:

LaShana Chaisson Douville, a native of New Orleans, Louisiana is a Gold Star Military spouse. After losing her husband of 14 years in 2011 to the War in Afghanistan, she decided to beat the odds and turned tragedy into triumph. She stepped out on faith, followed her heart and The Event Room was born. She has a Bachelor's Degree in Social Work and Criminal Justice from the University of West Florida. She has always had a creative passion for hosting and coordinating events for her close friends and relatives, and would love to share that passion with you!

LaShana's true inspiration comes from her Louisiana upbringing and the culture and diversity of her hometown, and she is naturally a people person. Her warm and enthusiastic personality makes it easy for her to identify with her clients. When she is not busy planning fabulous events, you can find her spending time with her family. She loves shopping, catching up on a good book and movie or relaxing on the beach, all the while keeping a committed daily walk in her faith

Unmatched Superior Service

LaShana and her team of vendors don’t leave a single thing on the table for a bride and groom to worry about. The Event Room is spectacular in design and the decor is elegant. LaShana is friendly and caring. She is very passionate about her work. Hands down, the best food I’ve ever had at a reception was prepared by the contracted chef and catering team. My husband and I are extremely happy with our experience and will forever be grateful for the level of superior service we received at the Event Room.

Amazing venue

This venue is absolutely gorgeous. Great space for any type of event. Reasonably priced and great location. I recently had my wedding here and when I say LaShana went above and beyond the set up was breath taking. She was easy to work with communication was great. We literally didn't have to do anything. She made sure all of our wishes came true. Everyone is still talking about our big day and how beautiful it was. Oh and we every vendor we used she recommended and they were all great no complaints at all. Trust me you will not go wrong with this space.

I have attended The Event Room on multiple occasions, but also my birthday party was held there. LaShana and staff did an amazing job with the themed decor and it turned out to be completely breathtaking! Very clean venue and the staff is gracious. I would definitely recommend The Event Room for any occasion.

I was the DJ for a wedding at The Event Room and I was very impressed. The staff was very friendly and professional, and they helped me find the perfect spot for my equipment. The place was absolutely beautiful, from the linens and table decorations, down to the stained concrete floors. I really hope I have more opportunities to DJ in at this amazing venue.
