Not at all! While it is convenient to stay in Seaside in terms of proximity, there are several options within 30 mins of Seaside. Other lodging includes The Pearl Hotel in Rosemary Beach (20 min drive), the Residence Inn Sandestin (20 min drive), the Courtyard by Marriott Sandestin (25 min drive), and the Hilton Sandestin Beach Golf Resort & Spa (30 min drive), just to name a few. Some of the websites listed on the Travel & Accommodation page can also be useful for searching outside of the Seaside area if interested in staying in places like Grayton Beach, Rosemary Beach, Seagrove, Destin, etc.
We would love and enjoy for our guests to look just as fancy as us in black tie attire! However, this is more of a suggestion than a requirement, as your attendance is much more important to us. Check out the gallery page for some attire inspiration!
Yes! We will hold a beach bonfire welcome party on Friday night prior to wedding day so we get some extra one-on-one time with our guests.
