Baggett Wedding

We had the best time at Watervue! Kiera Was so professional and kind! We had to change the time for our rehearsal 2 times and she was so patient with us! She helped with all of our needs! She calmed our wedding jitters and she had a smile on her face every time we saw her! I highly recommend her services! We love her!

My dream wedding come true

My husband and I were not planning on having a wedding knowing how expensive elegant weddings typically are. We found WaterVue at Brooks St. online and saw they had an amazing weekday price. The next week we took a trip out to the venue and fell in love. When you're standing in the venue it almost takes your breathe away. We knew this was the perfect place for our wedding and at the perfect cost! Tiffany was incredible in helping us along the way, and especially on the day of our wedding. I knew our wedding would be great and special, but the wedding that it turned out to be absolutely stunned me and I could not have pictured a better or more beautiful day. Thank you!!

Amazing venue! Gorgeous!

The venue was so beautiful and honestly was an amazing place to get married!! The day was perfect and the venue was just so breathtaking!

Kelly my wedding planner was honestly the best thing that has ever happened to me! She truly made our day so beautiful and so special and the attention to detail she used for everything was just amazing! She made sure our day went smoothly and it truly did! Absolutely nothing went wrong at the wedding! And it’s all thanks to her! We are forever grateful for all the hard work she put into our day and I can’t thank her enough!

Best venue hands down!

I am SOOOOO GLAD we chose the Watervue at Brooks St for our big day!! We thought about beach wedding, but realized that Watervue offered us protection from rain and humidity (which it downpoured for awhile the day of the wedding) but also provided a huge outdoor space/wrap around deck for us to enjoy the goorrrrrgeous views of the Santa Rosa sound and the weather (once it cleared up). Phew are we glad we picked this venue, to get the best of both worlds!! The decorations package was very reasonably priced and made it sooo stress free and easy knowing we didn’t have to transport anything to/from the venue except for any little added specific decorations (which was minimal because they have most everything you could need, except for a few certain signs I wanted and live flowers obviously). We rented from them the tablecloths, decorations package and the STUNNING criss cross backdrop (which we honestly then saved money by not doing an arch or other flowers, which I preferred-classic, elegant, simple but still gorgeous=>my style). The decorations package included the white drapery in the ceilings, the twinkle lights, various signage and decor items, vases for floating candles, frames for pictures along the hallway (very special and unique touch), and so much more. We had the ceremony, the cocktail hour, and reception all at the watervue, for about 75 people, and it was PERFECT!! We didn’t have to travel to different locations, but it still felt like 3 separate experiences. The cocktail hour was on the amazing wrap around deck. The chairs for the ceremony were moved afterwards to the tables on the other side of the huge center bar, and then there was a very big space for the dance floor right by the DJ booth. The sweetheart table in the corner is perfectly placed under a chandelier and as our backdrop was then the huge wall of windows looking out onto the water. Huge space along the bar for the buffet to be placed, right by the kitchen. Cute little couch sitting area, especially nice for grandmas/older people or those just wanting a comfy spot to lounge while still feeling close/involved in the dance floor excitement. The multiple French doors all opened at the end of the night.. the cross breeze was heavenly!!! especially after we were hot from dancing all night. Tiffany was very responsive, professional, and flexible/available to give us a tour when we came into town last minute. Ample free parking. GREAT little bridal suite for me to hide in before the ceremony (my husband and I did not want to do a first look/see eachother beforehand), awesome spot in the back (away from the bridal suite) for the groomsmen to kick it & chill with tvs & a bar. The Watervue was PERFECT for us & our day, and we 1000% recommend this venue!!!!

This venue was absolutely stunning!

Tiffany is the best!! She has such a great energy! She made everything easy!! The venue is absolutely beautiful!! It has amazing water views, and simply beautiful. The venue is such a great size whether the party is large or small. Everything felt intimate but not stuffy. Tiffany have solutions to problems we didn’t even think of, she was always on hand to assist with everything. She made sure everything ran smoothly and all vendors were on the same page!! I absolutely loved how beautiful everything turned out!!

Amazing venue!

We had our wedding ceremony on the beach and would have loved the whole wedding out there, but decided we needed an indoor venue for the reception being it was August in Florida. We were so glad we did because we found Watervue at Brooks Street. We fell in love with the venue from the layout, to the inside architecture, and the wrap around patio overlooking the bay. It ended up being the perfect spot for us and our wedding. The staff was great who helped us schedule and coordinate everything for the venue space. They were very responsive and knowledgeable. Tiffany was amazing with getting everything set up for us. After having our reception there, we wouldn't have had it any other way any month of the year. We highly recommend the Watervue!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.

Watervue is beautiful and is on the water of the beautiful Emerald Coast. We have catered several events at Watervue and love being apart of such a trendy venue. The bar is a one of a kind centerpiece and your guests will have a view of the water no matter where they sit. Take a stroll around the deck for a glimpse of the sea creatures that are plentiful here at the place we get to call home.
