What airport can I fly into?

Answer

Question

Are children allowed?

Answer

We love our youngest family members! However, our wedding is for ages 10 and up due to insurance and alcohol restrictions our venue has placed on us. Please be aware that we will be playing uncensored music and alcohol will be served to adults. We will not be responsible for any incidents. Please use your own discretion. If you want to bring your children, but don't want them at the ceremony or reception here is an option for you: Fort Walton has a wonderful babysitting service that can come to you.
