Our Wedding

Our story didn’t start with fireworks or grand gestures—it started with a friendship. The kind that felt easy from the very beginning. We laughed a lot, talked about everything and nothing, and somewhere along the way, what we had quietly grew into something deeper.Looking back, we can see how God was working in our lives long before we even realized it. At some point, everything changed—but at the same time, it felt like nothing had to. What we found in each other wasn’t forced or complicated. It felt guided, steady, and right, like our paths had been aligned with purpose all along.Through every step, we’ve leaned on God to lead us, and He’s shown us what it means to love each other with patience, grace, and intention. We became inseparable, not because we had to be, but because we genuinely love doing life together. Whether it’s the big moments or the everyday ones, we’ve built something that is light, grounded, and full of laughter.Now, we’re so excited to take this next step—surrounded by the people we love most. We know that God is at the center of our story, and as we continue to grow together, we trust in the beautiful plans He has ahead for us. Our story is still being written, and we couldn’t be more grateful for where it’s led us—and where it’s going.

Our Story

We invite you to dress in formal attire inspired by the fresh, vibrant feel of spring. Think elegant looks paired with bold colors, florals, and cheerful tones.Ladies, we encourage floral and/or colorful dresses, ideally mid- to floor-length. Light fabrics, textures and seasonal hues are perfect for the occasion.Gentlemen, dress pants with a suit jacket are the way to go—feel free to add a pop of spring through your tie, pocket square, or shirt. Bonus points from Taylor if you come in a colorful suit :)And of course, we kindly ask that guests avoid wearing white.We can’t wait to see everyone dressed up and celebrating in style!

GROUP CODE: CRONRESERVATION DEADLINE: FEB 2, 2027 In addition to our room block, we also recommend staying at The Beal House Fort Walton Beach by Hilton or exploring vacation rentals through the company who owns our venue "Beach Weekend" if you’d prefer a beach house or condo stay in with family and friends. You can choose whichever option best fits your travel style and budget — we’re just excited to celebrate with you!

Hilton Garden Inn Ft. Walton Beach

A complimentary shuttle will transport guests staying at the Hilton Garden Inn to and from the ceremony and reception, so you can relax and celebrate worry-free! For guests not staying at the Hilton, parking is available for $20 per night if you would prefer to drive or uber there and then shuttle with other guest! Shuttle will be loading up and leaving at 3:30PM to make it to the venue by the 3:45PM ceremony arrival time.

Shuttle

For our wonderful out of town guests flying in for our big day, we recommend flying into the Destin-Fort Walton Beach airport (VPS) which will be approximately 20 minutes from the venue.

Airports

We highly recommend popping over to Harborwalk Village in Destin for great food options, activities, views, and bars! This is only a short 10-15 minute drive from the hotel depending on traffic. Both Destin and Fort Walton Beach have tons of options to keep you occupied during your weekend with us!
