New Wedding Venue in Destin, Florida

If you’re dreaming of a coastal, romantic wedding that blends modern elegance with heartfelt charm, let us introduce you to The Alice. This new wedding venue coming to Destin, Florida is absolutely breathtaking!

We recently had the honor of touring the property before its official opening, and we can confidently say this is destined to become one of the most sought-after wedding venues on the Emerald Coast.

A Venue Built on Legacy & Love

More than just a stunning space, The Alice is rooted in a deeply personal love story. The venue is named after Alice, a cherished family member of the owners, known for her elegance, kindness, and love for tulips. Her legacy is reflected throughout the property, from the floral-filled landscaping to the elegant tulip detail in the logo.

Spanning multiple generations, the owners brought their shared dream to life by creating a wedding venue inspired by her legacy, where love stories could begin in the same spirit that surrounded her own. Every detail was designed with love and intention, and you can truly feel that spirit when you step onto the grounds.

Where Coastal Elegance Meets Modern Romance

Located just off the Choctawhatchee Bay near Crab Island, The Alice offers a rare blend of privacy, natural beauty, and refined luxury. Set on private property, this venue includes dock access through their sister property, The Alice Marina, making it an ideal choice for couples wanting a boat grand exit, sunset sail, or a fun pre-wedding trip to Crab Island with guests the night before.

Visually, the property is nothing short of stunning with lush greenery, ocean views, palm trees, and vibrant floral landscaping make every corner camera-ready. The spacious deck attached to the main building is perfect for a breezy cocktail hour or an intimate first look, while the combination of indoor and outdoor space allows you to customize the flow of your day with ease.

The Alice is perfect for a variety of wedding styles, whether you are planning an intimate elopement or a large-scale luxury affair. It is modern, romantic, and truly designed for the kind of unforgettable experience every couple deserves.

A Photographer’s Dream

As wedding photographers, we are especially inspired by the visual variety The Alice offers. One standout feature is the indoor bar area. It boasts a green marble countertop with dreamy lighting, making it perfect for editorial flash portraits and elegant couple shots.

We are also in love with the ceremony space, where tall palm trees frame a bright white tiled aisle. It is a clean, refined, and timeless setting that photographs beautifully from every angle.

The bridal suite is also so fun! You have several mirrors to hangout and get all dolled up with your girls, a relaxation room, and then a dressing room with a stunning view of the bay.

Whether you envision a modern coastal celebration, a garden-inspired event, or a chic sunset soirée, The Alice provides a breathtaking and versatile backdrop.

A Team That Truly Cares

One of the highlights of our tour was getting to chat with the owners and Kristen, the on-site manager for The Alice. Kristin was incredibly warm, welcoming, and clearly passionate about the vision for this space. It is always encouraging to see a team so dedicated to creating not only a beautiful venue, but also a meaningful and stress-free experience for their couples. You can feel the care and thoughtfulness that has gone into every detail. Couples who choose this venue are going to be in excellent hands.

Stay & Celebrate at Cottages By the Bay

Just across the street from the venue, the owners also offer Cottages By the Bay, a charming collection of rentals perfect for out-of-town guests, getting ready suites, or even a cozy honeymoon night. The convenience of having everything in one place adds a layer of comfort and luxury to the experience that couples will truly appreciate.
