If anyone is looking for a beautiful location for their wedding I highly recommend the Sandestin Golf & Beach Resort. We had our ceremony on the beach and then our reception on the marina beach. We worked with Jennifer & the Sandestin wedding p...
lanner Zoe and they were beyond amazing!! The accommodated us in every way possible. We told them our vision & budget and they made it happen. Working with them made this whole wedding process easy and stress free!! Zoe helped make our day SO special!!
Zoe Zeurcher was the best of the best! Will always remember her from our special day, she made it amazing!!
I honestly have to say to any couple looking for the best resort to get married at, choose Sandestin!! I think there are probably a lot of beautiful places to get married but what makes the difference was the wedding planning from Sandestin Zoe...
!!! She seriously made my event stress free and super organized. She was amazing to work with from start to end!! As someone who is very type A she made me feel at ease, there are so many different venue options in the property to choose from. Highly Recommend!!
We had our ceremony on the beach & ceremony on the bayside beach. We had a few issues with the day of coordinator’s communication, but it was resolved. If you want your guests to have a dreamy vacation on top of the wedding this is the place!
The group sales department was awesome in helping me get a group code set up for our wedding guests. They communicated effectively and efficiently with me.
We had our wedding last month at the Sandestin Bayview Room & Terrace & couldn't be happier with our choice in venues since the ceremony & reception were in the same place & our guests didn't have to move their cars somewhere else. The venue is...
perfect for a small intimate wedding with close family & friends. Mary-Katherine Owen was an awesome wedding manager there! She helped me plan & eased my mind when I was starting to stress out when there were a couple of bumps in the road! She was so great to work with, professional, great customer service! She got along great with us and bridal party! She even stepped in last minute when my day of coordinator wasn't able to make it & helped us get through the day & it turned out amazing, she helped us stay organized & on time!! I couldn't have asked for a better person to help us out when push came to shove. They also did our catering for our elegant feast buffet which turned out great as well, all our guests enjoyed it from cocktail hr to dinner buffet! Open bar was totally worth it! Also Ken Mealor with the A/V Team, decorated the outside terrace as well as uplighting for reception & it was easy to work with him also & he took all my suggestions & turned it into something sooo pretty & wonderful & i couldn't have imagined it any other way! From the pink lighting lanterns to the string lights & uplighting of palm trees to uplighting of reception!! I highly recommend having your wedding at Sandestin, the team was Great!! Totally worth it!
We had our wedding 3/25/17 at Sandestin. We originally had planned for it to be outside, but with Florida weather, we had to change it to an inside venue for the ceremony with the reception still held at the beautiful Bayview Room and Terrace. ...
The wedding coordinator, Mary-Katherine Owen, truly saved the day and turned our last minute inside wedding, into the most beautiful and magical indoor/outdoor covered patio fairytale. The resort was the perfect place for our families and friends to spend the weekend hanging out at the beach, having a bonfire on the beach with s'mores and pizza, shopping, and even going out with out friends. We had people from all over the world, everywhere and all ages rom Louisiana all the way to England and Sweden, and all had a wonderful time. Mary-Katherine made our day and week relaxing, exciting, fun, magical, special, and even better than we ever thought our wedding would be. She went above and beyond to make sure we were happy. We used Sandestin for catering as well, and it was truly the best food our family and friends had ever had. Not only was the resort beautiful, there were so many activities for everyone, and transportation provided within the resort for our guests without cars. We could not be happier with our choice for our special day.
Had my wedding ceremony and reception here on March 18th 2017. It was beyond perfect! It was so beautiful and everything went accordingly. They set out all new pine-straw in the garden and got everything looking so good. it was honestly beyon...
d words the best wedding ever, and I didn't have to worry about one thing. I wouldn't have wanted it any other way.
Absolutely wonderful experience! Everything we needed was at our fingertips through the resort. They had excellent connections to vendors and the food catered by the resort was phenomenal! Any questions/concerns we had were put to ease quickly ...
by the resort team helping us. We could not have asked for a more perfect day!
Having our wedding at Sandestin Golf & Beach Resort was like a dream and exceeded our expectations. The resort itself is incredible, from well-maintained and beautiful landscaping to a variety of affordable accommodations and activities onsite....
Aside from the attractions, our experience with all of the vendors was wonderful. Angela, Special Events Manager, was timely, informative, and always willing to go the extra mile to address a question or ensure we had what we needed to make our day beyond perfect. She made sure our day was seamless! Chef created delicious meals that our guests could not stop raving over and customer service representatives were very friendly and helpful across the property. What we loved most about having our wedding at Sandestin was that while the beauty and elegance of the property gave our wedding that special touch, it still had a comfortable and welcoming atmosphere all of our guests could enjoy. We couldn't have asked for a better location and experience for our wedding!
The resort is amazing!!!! So much to on the resort but also off! My guests always had something to do with so many restaurants, boutiques and bars at BayTowne Wharf...not to mention how cute/awesome it is down there! It's such a fun place to ju...
st walk around. Very kid friendly too!!! They have every resturant you could want from seafood, steak, awesome brunches, sushi and even great bar food.
The resort for the wedding was so beautiful. The scenery is just breathtaking! I got married on the Elation Lawn and the set up alone was beautiful w No decor!
The staff was amazing! Always had a smile and so polite. The food is amazing for the reception with sooooo much to cHoose from!
I worked with Angela on my wedding. She is amazing. I would email her multiple times a day and she was always on top of everything and made my day perfect!
We had our wedding at the Sandestin Golf & Beach Resort in September 2014. The resort property is beautiful. The beach is gorgeous. The rooms were lovely. The weather was great. The service was impeccable. We can't say enough about how professi...
onal and accommodating the staff was. All 5 events we had at the property over the weekend were incredible. Our resort event coordinator paid attention to every last detail, ensuring that everything went off without a hitch and exactly as planned. Thanks to her, our big day was absolutely perfect. She and the rest of the resort staff really went above and beyond the entire weekend.
All of guests (many of whom are very well traveled) kept telling us how impressed they were with the accommodations, level of service received, and activities (for adults and kids) available on property.
We couldn't have selected a better place to have our wedding! We will definitely be coming back to enjoy the property many times!!!

We had our wedding at the Sandestin Resort – Bayview Room and Terrace on 5/10/14 and it was amazing! Our ceremony and cocktail hour were held on the terrace and our reception was in the Bayview room. We had approx. 70 guests. Everything was ...
beautiful. The food was wonderful. Our guests had an amazing time. There is so much to do at the resort that it was a special vacation for us, our family and friends. This was a destination wedding so after visiting in 4/13 and booking the venue, we did not return until the week of the wedding. Dayley Gunnells was our Special Events Manager at Sandestin. She was extremely helpful through the entire planning process. She provided a preferred vendors list for DJ, flowers, etc. and we were extremely happy with all of our vendors. From group rates for our guests to exploring options for our next day brunch, Dayley helped with every detail in a timely manner. As a destination bride, I can attest that you will get all the help you need in the planning process. We can't wait to return to the Sandestin Resort. Thank you!

an amazing experience! Our Wedding Coordinator does an great job and we are fortunate to have her on Team Sandestin. Your feedback is much appreciated. We do hope you will return to Sandestin soon.

My guests were so happy with their accommodations at Sandestin! They loved their room and service. The planning process was very simple and allowed for my guests to book online with their code!
Sandestin Golf and Beach Resort provided an amazing venue for our wedding. It was at their Terrance and Bayview Room and it could have 100 people, but we only had 70. The view of the bay was amazing for the ceremony and for the reception it was...
inside. The coordinator was prompt and very detailed to all of our needs. The catering was very good and we had amazing time. I completely recommend looking into the resort, there is so much to do while on vacation for the wedding. The resort has a bay area, beach area, golf are and so many activities. Ours was a destination wedding and we choosed Sandestin. Our family and friends loved it as well.
Sandestin was an absolutely stunning venue.
My new husband and Our guest had a beautiful wedding on the beach thanks to the resort and a sweet touch was the free honeymoon suite at the grand.
My experience with this venue was wonderful. I had my wedding ceremony on the beach and the reception at the Finz Restaurant. Our coordinator, Barbara Miller, was very good at keeping us organized and on schedule with the planning. The beach...
was beautiful and thankfully no rain! The reception was perfect for a guest list of about 50 people. And I just happen to love that other beach goers were able to watch my wedding. They cheered louder than my family I think.
Lovely spot, Barbara was very helpful! Food was great!! Make sure to ask for waiver for any extra food that you might want to take home.
We held our ceremony on the beach, which was breathtakingly beautiful! Since the resort is a gated community and the beaches are private, it wasn't very crowded. The beautiful white sand and blue water made for incredibly photos and video. T...
hey included folding white chairs, a table for our sand ceremony, and four bamboo posts (you have to have someone decorate the bamboo posts for you).
Our reception was held immediately after in the Finz Loft. I would HIGHLY recommend this venue! The Loft was amazing. It had a great view of the beach, was decorated gorgeously, and made for a perfect reception. It is perfect for couples that are sick of the traditional reception venues in ballrooms and such and want something unique. This was perfect for our group that was under 50 people. The staff who worked our reception were fabulous! LOVED our bartender! Food was also delicious :)
The Bayview room and terrace was an absolutely beautiful venue. During our ceremony there were fish jumping out of the bay, it was too cool! Our cocktail hour was held outside on terrace and reception indoors. My only complaint was the waits...
taff delivered the wrong food to a few of my guests.
This place was absolutely beautiful and gave all of my guests lots of lodging options. Everyone who worked with the Sandestin was overall pretty friendly and accomodating. The only downfalls were the high costs.

nown to be priced for all brides with all types of budgets due to the variety of options. As a past Sandestin Bride, we very much appreciate and value your feebdack. All our best.
the area and the grounds are AWESOME! but EVERYTHING we did was over priced, constantly had to check what they were charging us and it was ALWAYS OVER! we'll put it this was just on food alone, our first bill was $23,000 and after making them f...
ix everything they had over charged us for... it ended up being $13,000. thats a HUGE difference.(example, we had an open bar the whole time so we wanted regular liquor and naturally they slipped in the premium prices) just watch them. the only other problem we had was the way the "wedding coordinator" made me feel. the whole time she was basically tell me in a "nice" way that i had a cheap wedding.... including our wedding bands our total cost was over $100,000!! and she was making me feel cheap about EVERYTHING! if you have tougher skin then me and want a pretty venue to get married at Sandestin was great... you just have to be very tough with them

The venue was beautiful. The planning was very helpful and Barbara was patient as we went over every detail. She did a great job of giving her input and making it a great day. If you're not using a wedding coordinator, you'll hear about it. I w...
as offended that even after my beautiful wedding a comment was made that she always suggests brides use at least a day of coordinator. There is also a swap of contact person for the day of the event, which was a bit of a shock to me as it was not addressed up front. The view over the bay (we were at the Bayside Inn) was breath-taking and our photos turned out gorgeous. The food was delicious and there was plenty of it! It's definitely a day we'll look back on with fond memories for all of our life.
