Planning a Florida destination wedding can be overwhelming with all the different options available. Also, if you are planning your wedding from afar and not familiar with all the local offerings, things can get even more stressful. That’s one of the great benefits of working with SunQuest Beach Weddings. We have over 15 years experience planning Destin Florida weddings and we are your expert, local eyes before, during and after your wedding. Our company offers a plethora of ideas and venues for Rehearsal Dinners, Welcome Parties, Bridal Party Activities and more.
Most couples start to plan the wedding and then the trickle effect begins with all the other things there are to plan. Who knew that there were so many events to plan for a wedding!? As if planning a ceremony and reception weren’t enough, now there’s the welcome party and the rehearsal dinner and the “Day After the Big Day” brunch. When it comes to celebrating with your family and friends for a Florida destination wedding, you want to make sure that they make the most out of the trip.
If you’ve already chosen to celebrate along the beautiful Emerald Coast to say “I Do!“, we can help you plan the rest to treat your family and friends to a few activities to get them excited for your Florida destination wedding celebration. We’re breaking down the best activities to book for your entire wedding party while in Destin, FL.
Sunset Dinner Cruise from Sandestin
Skip the traditional restaurant dinner with your wedding group and embark on a sunset dinner cruise aboard the SOLARIS yacht in Sandestin, Fl. Treat your guests to an unforgettable experience on a 125′ yacht that cruises the open waters while you dance, dine and cruise. The SOLARIS boasts three decks of indoor and outdoor spaces, chef-prepared meals, live music and ever changing views of the sunset and coastlines. There are even Fireworks Dinner Cruises every Tuesday and Thursday in the summer. Excellent group rates and semi-private packages are available for rehearsal dinners, bridal brunches or simply a group dinner.
Crab Island Cruises in Destin
A trip to Destin Florida must include a visit to the one and only Crab Island. Only accessible by boat, Crab Island is a underwater playground near the Destin bridge with fun for the entire family. Our sister company, SunVenture Cruises, offers two boats that take daily trips to Crab Island, accommodating up to 98 people total. Our captains will drive you out to Crab Island and drop anchor in the emerald green waters. The water is an average of 3 feet and you will see hundreds of people and boats just hanging out. You can choose to relax in the waist-deep waters or rent a paddle board or kayak or visit the floating food vendors or try an adventure on the inflatable water park. A Crab Island Cruise is the perfect way to celebrate before or after your Destin wedding.
Destin Beach Bonfire
Picture you and your group here for the perfect way to kick off your Florida destination weekend. A Destin beach bonfire is a great way to set the tone for your wedding weekend and welcome your guests with a memorable beach celebration. Relax with the sand between your toes while enjoying casual catering as the sun sets on the gorgeous beaches of Destin Florida. Bonfires are also a popular option for rehearsal dinners. SunQuest Beach Weddings will handle everything from start to finish including beach permits, set up, catering, drinks, music and clean up.
Destin Dolphin & Fireworks Cruise
No trip to Destin Florida is complete until you’ve had a firsthand look at our favorite locals – the dolphins. Our sister company, SunVenture Cruises, has two catamarans that give you the closest views of the water and the most up close and personal experience with our local dolphins. Together, both boats can accommodate up to 98 people for any type of cruise. One of the most popular cruises is the Destin Dolphin and Fireworks Cruises. The evening begins with a leisure cruise on the emerald green waters by the Coast-Guard licensed captains. They will take you to the best spot to watch the sun set as you go on a quest to find dolphins. After the sun sets, the sky above you will illuminate with fireworks from the Destin Harbor. It is by far one of the top things to do in Destin and a perfect activity for your wedding that showcases the best of the Emerald Coast.
