Our AAA Four Diamond Resort offers a variety of outdoor and indoor wedding spaces with the flexibility to create your unique wedding vision. Beach front, water front and ballroom locations offer separate venues for all your wedding events.

Your wedding is no ordinary day, so why should you celebrate at an ordinary venue? Your wedding day takes place ON the water aboard the 125' SOLARIS Yacht, cruising from the Baytowne Marina inside of the Sandestin Golf & Beach Resort. Choose to utilize the Sky Deck as your private ceremony space with 360-degree waterfront views or let our wedding planners help you in planning a ceremony offsite on the beach, in a garden, or at another nearby venue. Your wedding package includes access to a dedicated wedding planner, day of coordinator(s), executive chef, florist, and event staff. In addition to the use of the yacht, included in your base package is your choice of catering, bar package*, DJ/entertainment*, tables, banquet chairs, white linens, chinaware, silverware, and glassware. Our wedding planners can assist you in planning your entire wedding weekend to include Bonfire Rehearsal Dinners, a "Day After the Big Day" at Crab Island, and more!
