At Sandestin, the wedding party and guests have everything they need without leaving the resort, from accommodations to family activities, restaurants, shopping and nightlife. Sandestin makes it a relaxing get-a-way for everyone. |
| 3) | Go "Beach" Casual - Casual may be the trend for weddings nationwide, but it's always been the favorite among resort wedding guests. Offering a relaxed environment is what Sandestin does best. |
| 4) | Taste the Local Fare - Organic, green, and clean are the priority among many local farmers in Northwest Florida. The Sandestin catering staff is prepared to work with couples to offer the freshest menu and meet nutrition preferences. |
| 5) | Couple Planning Made Easy - Wedding planning used to be seen as the Bride's duty, however, it's showing that more grooms are wanting to get the hands-on experience of selecting options for their big day as well. Sandestin makes it easy for both brides and the grooms to have their say. Many couples will make it a weekend get-a-way as they tour the property with an on-site coordinator and get an idea of what their wedding will entail. |
| 6) | Virtually Plan Your Wedding From Home - We live in a virtual society, where everything and everyone is "connected" to the web. This makes long-distance wedding planning a breeze. Sandestin offers a wedding website and blog, http://www.sandestinweddings.com, which couples can use to choose their venues through gallery photos, as well as choosing their menu.

| 8) | Personalize - Many couples are choosing to add personal touches to their wedding day through wedding favors, place cards, and even welcome boards for guests as the arrive. This attention to detail gives each wedding its own story. Sandestin encourages couples to add these special details for their special day. |
| 9) | Mix and Match Is "In" - The wedding party is making a statement. As the uniform gowns and tuxes were the trend just a few years ago among bridesmaids and groomsmen, mixing and matching colors, patterns and styles are hitting the runways for wedding fashion.
