Our wedding was truly better than we had imagined it! Susan's team was wonderful and made planning the wedding from a distance so easy. We loved her team. Our day of planning in Florida made it super easy to just have to take one trip to Florida ahead of the wedding, it was so nice to have everything decided in one day. Kristina was our day of coordinator and florist and did a great job!

As a Type A bride, I can confidently say that from start to finish, the Emerald Grande and their staff made the entire wedding-planning experience seamless and truly enjoyable. Emily Buckley (Director of Catering Sales) and Annette Peterson (Wedding Coordinator) were the dream team. They handled all the prep work—from the BEO document and coordinating with vendors to offering recommendations—and ensured every single person was in the right place on the big day, from first looks, family photos, the ceremony, reception, and everything in between. I’ve seen some negative reviews about the Emerald Grande condos, and I could not disagree more. Our room was clean, comfortable, and had a beautiful view. Honestly, I get teary-eyed writing this because our day was simply a dream. My family has a place in the Destin area, and we’re always on the harbor enjoying activities, pontooning to Crab Island, or dining and drinking—but we had never actually stayed at the Emerald Grande before. I’m so grateful we chose it for our wedding. Thank you to the entire team for being who you are. You made everything AMAZING!

The location and surrounding beauty of The Henderson is unsurpassed! Most of the wedding guests were from out of state, so staying on site was fun and easy for them. Working with Hannah and Madison, the wedding coordinators, was truly a pleasure. They had suggestions to every possible idea or question we thought of - including help with getting a wedding planner and photographer for a wedding of only 80 people. Once our daughter, the bride, met Hannah and Madison, any stress she had about her special day was gone. At the reception, all the guests remarked that the wedding dinner food (buffet style) was the best food they ever had at any wedding - it was delicious! The wait-staff during the reception were professional and extremely attentive to guests' needs. Absolutely the best venue for a perfect and memorable wedding day!!

They were very flexible when we had to move the ceremony to the restaurant due to my husbands accident he had a few weeks prior. The staff were available at the drop of a hat and if we needed anything, they did not hesitate to move and take care of whatever we needed. We had the whole upstairs bar area which overlooks the Destin Harbor. They helped make our wedding day perfect. The food was amazing! We were never without any, especially having just light appetizers.

Great time had by all would highly recommend Ruths

The food was amazing. Everyone loved it! The staff was so friendly and responsive. Michelle was great to work with.

Love this Restaurant! Chris and his team were so accommodating and helpful right the very first phone call, down to the night of our reception. Chris made himself available whenever we needed him. He even came in extra early on the day of our wedding to receive our wedding cake for safe keeping until our dinner that evening. He was there that night waiting on us and our entire group and he even took special care of our little ones who were getting impatient waiting on their entrees. Chris and his team made our wedding reception very delightful and view from the covered outdoor balcony made the evening ever memorable. Thank You Chris and Team.....You guys Rock!

We had our destination wedding and reception at Kelly Plantation Golf Club. It was an absolutely beautiful setting on the golf course. The club house was the perfect place for our wedding guests. The food was amazing! Russ Cooper was so easy to work with, answering all of my emails and following up to make sure our wedding day was the wedding or our dreams. We are so happy with our choice for our special day. Thank you to Russ and his staff at KP!!!

Marina Cafe was Incredibly accommodating. There’s plenty of ways decorate the areas they offer. We had our ceremony downstairs at sunset and danced downstairs after dinner. Many packages to choose from. The food was absolutely phenomenal and was made in house as they were our food vendor and venue! From melt in your mouth filet mignon to a sunset you usually only read about in books, and service that battles first place in quality, this venue does NOT disappoint. I would recommend this venue over and over again!

We are from Dallas and came to Destin on a vacation and just fell in love with the white sand and the beautiful water, we just knew this was the place plus the thought of a destination wedding was very exciting and wanted to escape the stress and drama of a home-town wedding, and our day was relaxed and easy and stress-free - exactly how we wanted it! We are so happy that our wedding was a perfect day thanks to YOU! Everything was coordinated and arranged seamlessly so that we had absolutely nothing to worry about...every question or request was met with "Don't worry about a thing, not a problem" and that's exactly how it was. We loved the flowers and the setup of the venue, it match everything we had talked about. It was a day we will never forget, thank you so much Lynn and best wishes for continued success, will certainly recommend you to anyone we see. Sincerely, Amy & Ron
