Top notch! Erin and her team at the Destin Bay House are amazing! The venue is beautiful and if you're looking for a unique setting with an ocean backdrop, look no further. The trees offer plenty of shade and the house itself offers a lot of space to accommodate your guests for dinner. We look forward to working another great wedding here!

We had our wedding at Destin Bay House last week. We had a great experience with Erin. Even though she couldn't be our day coordinator, she recommended Ms. Jean, who was just awesome. Erin came and helped out with setting and cleaning up, even though she didn't have to. I heard they were good but we actually had to experience that. Highly recommend Destin Bay House!!! Thanks to them, our wedding was the best day ever!!

PERFECT! No other words. From the beauty of the venue to Erin (the wedding planner). Amazing. The venue is stunning and fits everyone. Inside and outside areas for everyone to enjoy. Erin was impeccable! She made everything run beautifully, always made sure my husband and I had drinks, answered everyone’s question so we didn’t have to, and ran the entire rehearsal (and did it quickly and smoothly). I even had a slight dress malfunction at the rehearsal and she quickly fixed it and I was able to enjoy the memorable, amazing moments that happen once in a lifetime. I HIGHLY recommend this venue

I’m getting teary eyed just trying to explain how perfect the Destin Bay House was for our wedding! The setting is absolutely gorgeous- a perfect blend of the beach meets the Deep South. With the dock, Spanish moss and abundance of greenery, there’s so many different photos you can capture in a small space. Intimate and private in a touristy slice of Destin. The bridal cottage was perfect for getting ready and the cottages across the street were extremely convenient for our guests! The price includes so many important amenities that would be expensive to rent elsewhere. It really is the perfect

I came here as part of a bridal party. The place is beautiful!! The view off of the pier is gorgeous and you can see fish and crabs in the water.
The bride and groom had a blast and it was the perfect venue. This could not have happened without the bride's wedding planner, Tammy.
Perfect spot for a wedding!

Have had the honor of attending several events here in the past few years. This place is very nice, quaint and well-managed. The perfect place for a wedding or other gathering event. The backyard bay area is exquisite and ideal for a nice event. It's locale being close to the heart of Destin makes it perfect for any event.

My fiancé and I traveled to Destin to find a wedding venue. We didn't know about Destin Bay House when we looked into venues. During our stay in Destin, we had visited several venues and nothing clicked. Just when we were about to get disappointed, we came across to DBH in The Knot- Florida Weddings magazine as a newest venue. We decided to give it a visit on our way to airport. We didn't have an appointment. When we arrived, there were a group of people with what we thought were the coordinators of DBH. We pardoned ourselves and asked if we could just look around. As we were walking

Wow! We attended a wedding at this awesome venue! The outdoor space is really beautiful and I was surprised at how well maintained it is. The back area has a fire pit area, dance floor, a sandy beach like spot with dock, and lovely yard. Inside has hardwood floors, restrooms, and kitchen. Very nice front patio as well. There is even a small carriage house in front that works well for the bridal party to prepare in. All of the food and music for the wedding were suggested by Destin Bay House and all were so pleasant. DJ and bartenders were helpful, fun, and very efficient. Food was great. Drinks
