Travel Note
Where to Stay
We’re so excited to celebrate with you in Destin! Feel free to stay where ever you like. Since this is a destination location there are tons of options. Below are just some of our favorite areas to stay, based on location, vibe, and how close they are to the venue Our wedding venue is Marina Café, right on the Destin harbor. 🌅 Destin Harbor Area (Closest to Venue) - The Inn on Destin Harbor (next door to Marina Cafe). Discounted rate if you tell them you are with Rylee Holland wedding. We will be staying here the night of the wedding. - Emerald Grande at HarborWalk Village - Holiday Isle area is also close by with lots of options. - Sandpiper cove condos 🌴 Crystal Beach (Beachy + Lux Vibes+Golf cart rides) A little further east from the venue. It has a good mix of condos for couples/small families as well as large beach houses. If you chose this location you will be right near or on the beach with some good local restaurants just a golf cart ride away. Note, you will need to drive or Uber to the venue (15–20 mins depending on traffic). ✨ Tips Summer/springbreak is a busy season here, so we recommend booking sooner than later. Also, if you are planning to stay in the Rosemary Beach/Seaside area, it is approx. 45+ minutes from the venue- you may want to fly into Panama City/ECP instead.
