Hi! My fiance' and I are from south Louisiana (cajun country to be exact) and are planning to get married in June 2007 on the beaches of South Walton. I have always dreamt of getting married on the beach and love the South Walton area. I fell in love with the pictures of the pavilions at Seaside but when I called and learned that the minimum fee is $3,200 plus 20% service charge the pictures all the sudden didn't look as beautiful . ;-) No really, I still think they're beautiful but the pavilion I love is the Savannah which I was informed is an extra $1,500 since it is owned by the association and must be rented for an additional fee. So, about $6,000 (incl. 20%) for about a 1/2 hour ceremony - not bad huh? :lol: At first I was just like, forget about the money it's my fiance's second marriage but it's my first rodeo so money is no object. But I would probably be aggrivated after the 1/2 hour imagining $6K gone - poof - just like that. So, my question is is if anyone knows of another pavilion - like place to get married on or even if the owners of the privately owned pavilions rent them out for less than $6K for just a 1/2 hr. ceremony. I especially love the Tupelo pavilion. It is beautiful!! I like the idea of getting married on a pavilion on the beach. It makes it semi-private and makes for nice photos. Thanks for any input!!

P.S. We will also consider throwing in a few sacks of boiled crawfish (straight from the source I might add) to sweeten the deal!!!:clap_1:

Mr. IBD and I got married in Eden or at Eden. What a great place and the photos were excellent. It is not the beach but is beautiful. We did have a stray dog walk down the aisle and lick his privates. :floor: I will never forget that!!!

The use of too many pronouns can prove dangerous. Who's privates was the dog licking? Mr IBD's or the dog's own? :floor::lol:

I own a couple of rental houses where you can have wedding functions. Check out this website www.Pearlywhiteproperties.com and look for "Sunsational" (Gulf Front) or "Triple Crown" or "Que Sera Sera" which are real close to the beach. "Que Sera Sera" has its own private pavilion, located next to the San Juan Public beach access that you can use anytime, at NO CHARGE... But I didn't tell you that! Congrats!
