Fish Out of Water, in WaterColor, has a small room located off the Dining Room, that would probably handle your party, if you don't mind the drive from Destin.

The Flamingo Cafe has been gone for a while now. It was doing well, but the team just wanted to move on. The building now holds the relocated Destin Chops which used to be in the Destin Yacht Club building.

Marina Cafe (right next to the old Flamingo Cafe) night work. I think Bogwalk in Destin Commons might have space for private parties, and the food would be a nice fit for an after wedding dinner. Rutheford's at the Regatta Bay golf course seems to be popular for that kind of thing as well.

Enjoy your time here and your life together!

:blush: Thanks - you can tell I don't dine in Destin much. I often think I'd like to drive over and have dinner on the harbor and I never seem to make it past the Royal Orchid.

I think it is prety funny that the boyz (SJ, RO, and Kurt) were the original responders to this wedding question. Maybe they should start their own wedding planning business.:funn:

To be completely honest, I think the comment "don't do it" should be taken literally.
NO, I don't mean don't get married, but don't have your rehearsal dinner in Destin. Why would you want to put your guests through all that stress of trying to get anywhere at any time in Destin over 4th of July Weekend? :dunno:
Do you not like these people? I would only do that to my worst enemy.:roll:
Destin traffic, 4th of July weekend comes to a complete deadlock. As an example, one time we tried to go to Harbor Docks. It took an hour an a half, I kid you not, to go from the west end of 30A to get as far as LongHorn Steak House, which is where we ended up because we couldn't take it anymore.:pissed:
I've lived here 22 years. I remember being able to breeze through Destin. Now I avoid it like the plague. During holidaze and peak times that is. Otherwise I still like it. If I could just find it. I know it's in there somewhere, buried under all that crass commercialism, but I digress...

Seriously though, it may be easier for your guests to get in and out of SanDestin. There are plenty of choices here, but you need to call a restaurant NOW if you want to get in, especially with a large group.

Good Luck and Congratulations!
