IF EVER A PLACE WAS MEANT
FOR A WEDDING
Happily ever after begins at WaterVue, located in the chic area of downtown Fort Walton Beach, Florida. This remarkable wedding venue boasts panoramic waterfront views of the Santa Rosa Sound. Our facility takes full advantage of this breathtaking vantage point. Watch the most spectacular sunsets on our gorgeous wrap-a-round deck or from inside the spacious ballroom. As one of the best places to get married in Fort Walton Beach, WaterVue can accommodate over 300 guests. We cater to the large, lavish weddings, as well as small, intimate weddings.
Weddings & Receptions
WaterVue has 5,000-plus square feet of customizable space, with a completely open floor plan for you to personally design the event of your dreams. There is an elevated stage for a band or DJ, a dessert table or even the ceremony. There is a second elevated stage that oversees the entire banquet hall, which is perfect for the “sweetheart table”. Centrally located is our phenomenal bar and food service area that will satisfy all of your guests. And our romantic booth area that has views of both the water and the massive dance floor.
Our wrap-around deck, surrounds the banquet hall and dance floor, and is directly on the waters of the Santa Rosa Sound. Our beautiful waterfront patio is perfect for wedding ceremonies, and receptions. There is a gorgeous waterfront arbor allowing your guests to witness the exchange of vows. The waterfront patio is adjoined to the first of our two private lounges, the beautifully decorated “Bride’s Suite”. Our second private lounge is decked out with a rustic leather sofa, comfortable furnishings, mini bar and flat screen TV (also known as the “Groom’s Retreat”).
All WaterVue weddings include the 12- hour rental of the venue, available tables and chairs (see our floor plan), a WaterVue representative on-site for the entirety of the event, and the cleaning of the facility following the event. Clients are free to hire their own vendors of choice and are also allowed to bring in their own beverages free of charge. No hidden fees.
