A Beautiful Venue For Your Beach Wedding
We chose Henderson Beach State Park for it's privacy, clean and peaceful beach, ease of access, and ample parking. It has officially become The Avery location to enjoy the beach.

Incredible location!
We knew we wanted a beach wedding and something where we wouldn't have to worry about strangers in our photos. Reserving Henderson Beach was one of the greatest decisions we made! The water and sand were beautiful, and we had our whole section down to the water's edge, so no one was set up in Beach chairs behind us. I also appreciated the free parking for our guests.We knew we wanted a beach wedding and something where we wouldn't have to worry about strangers in our photos.

Gorgeous beach
This was the perfect place for our beach wedding. The sand is white and the water was perfect. Even though it was gloomy on my wedding. My pictures were perfect. I loved having my wedding ceremony and reception here.This was the perfect place for our beach wedding. The sand is white and the water was perfect. Even though it was gloomy on my wedding.

Great customer service!
We were in town to plan our destination wedding. Anne was very helpful through wedding planning websites, email and text. After deciding on a venue we did cancel our tour with Anne. She was very nice, understanding and a pleasure to work with!We were in town to plan our destination wedding. Anne was very helpful through wedding planning websites, email and text.

Wedding of a Lifetime
My husband and I had the wedding of a Lifetime! Everything exceeded our wildest dreams. The weather was perfect, the sands were soo white and soft, the wind was just right! I'm still smiling from our blissful moment. If anyone ever asks me about having their wedding in Destin, Henderson will be my immediate response. The beach goers were respectful and we were allotted our own private space!My husband and I had the wedding of a Lifetime! Everything exceeded our wildest dreams.

Great Beach Location
While we didn’t boom our venue directly with the park, our planner highly recommended them! The park was so great at letting everyone in for the rehearsal and ceremony and providing great direction. The staff at the gate were so friendly!! The staff also went above and beyond ensuring that our ceremony space was perfect. They made sure to move everyone out of the area enough to where we felt like we had our own private area! Having a beach ceremony can feel like you always have people around, but that isn’t the case with this location. We super appreciated all the work they put into to making our wedding great!While we didn’t boom our venue directly with the park, our planner highly recommended them!

Nothing short of Amazing!
Anne Marie was such a pleasure to work with. She was very accommodating to our wedding party. They opened a separate traffic lane making ease of entry a breeze. The pavilion was clean and a nice spot for people to hang out at before the wedding. The staff brought my grandma to and from the beach on a big wheeled wheel chair. The staff over saw that things went smoothly for us. I highly recommend this venue!Anne Marie was such a pleasure to work with. She was very accommodating to our wedding party.

Breathtaking Views
Absolutely beautiful. I couldn’t have asked for anything better. Very friendly and helpful with questions. I would highly recommend them for a wedding venue. I had my ceremony on the beach and had the reception at the pavilion located directly behind.Absolutely beautiful. I couldn’t have asked for anything better. Very friendly and helpful with questions.

Amazing Experience
We got married at Henderson Beach State Park in March 2019 and we had A BLAST. The booking process was easy and Anne was very responsive to any questions or concerns I had. Since it was March, it was pretty chilly but the sand was so beautiful and the water was crystal clear. I was happy with the low price (compared to other venues in Destin) and would book it again in a heartbeat. At the last minute, we booked a pavilion because the forecast called for rain and although the contract said no refunds, since it did not rain and we didn't use it, they gave us a refund anyway. If you need a beautiful venue in Destin, I highly, highly, highly recommend this spot!We got married at Henderson Beach State Park in March 2019 and we had A BLAST.

Breathtaking!
Our wedding ceremony and reception was held here on 11/11/18. The park is beautiful and well taken care of. We worked with Anne Diaz throughout the process and she was a sweetheart. There were no complaints, and it is a very affordable (but still elegant) setting for a beach wedding celebration!Our wedding ceremony and reception was held here on 11/11/18.

Everything we expected and more!
My husband and I are so happy we chose Henderson State Park Beach for our wedding venue. The dunes, wildlife, emerald ocean water and amazing sunset provided us a beautiful and tranquil atmosphere for our wedding day. When I walked down the boardwalk I was in awe of the beauty that was before me. Not only was I marring the man I love dearly, but I was in a majestic place that was beautiful beyond words. The beach was absolutely stunning! Our guests are still complimenting us on our beautiful wedding. They loved it as much as we did!
If you are considering a beach wedding, Henderson State Park will not disappoint! Anna Marie is exceptional to work with. Our wedding was less than a week after Hurrican Michael and she made sure our day was perfect. My husband and I have decided to spend our one year anniversary at the Henderson State Park Inn. We left a piece of our hearts there and plan to return in celebration of our love!My husband and I are so happy we chose Henderson State Park Beach for our wedding venue.

Great Beach Wedding Venue
Our wedding was everything we wanted and more. We didn’t know exactly what to expect, as our wedding ended up being scheduled for the week of Hurricane Michael. Anne Marie kept us up to date on beach and weather conditions and made adjustments to make sure our wedding went on as planned. What was a stressful week of unknowns due to the hurricane, turned out to be well worth it, as the wedding itself turned out beautifully. The beach and pavilions make for perfect sites for a destination beach wedding and reception. We thoroughly enjoyed our wedding and have received tons of compliments on how beautiful of an event it was. I would highly recommended this venue to all brides!
