Everytime…read morewe contacted Grace to guide us she was always attentive, extremely professional, very connective, present without a doubt, and sweet at the same time. She took the time to get to know us with many questions, assisted with our vows, and gave us many passages to chose from for beautiful readings at our wedding. Our wedding which was arranged for 6 months after we started speaking with Grace, ended up being cancelled and postponed for a little over a year later. We started speaking on the phone with Grace August 2022, and it felt like a rollercoaster for us as a couple, we couldn't have done it without Grace's support and knowledge. Besides Grace being understanding, a year later she was still there and contacting us in-between. We finally had our perfect wedding September 30th, 2023. Grace was spiritually supportive and continued to be very uplifting. We couldn't have had a better officiator. We appreciate you! Thank you for being a part of our story and journey.

We just had our wedding with Gulf Beach Weddings…read more The staff had always been very accommodating, especially with all my last minute changes. This is a very laid back, low key type wedding which is what we wanted! If you're a bridezilla and want a high maintenance fussy wedding then this is not for you. There were lots of beach goers on the beach but they didn't bother us one bit and the staff made sure no one intervened with me walking down the aisle. Yes the flowers they use on the arches are fake but that didn't bother me. I'm sure if you wanted to pay a florist tons of money to do that then you could. We did the Upham Beach location just because it happened to be across from our condo. But parking at this location was definitely an issue for our guests considering it was a gorgeous 80 degree Sunday so it was very busy. We also really like that the paradise grille was right there so our guests could stop for a quick drink prior to the ceremony. The photographer provided with the package was amazing as well! So friendly and totally passionate about her profession. She made everyone very comfortable and kept the flow going well! If you're looking for low key, no fuss then this is for you!

My wedding was at the Pensacola park East location. I would have changed the time to maybe 3pm…read morebecause of how bad traffic was around 4:30pm that day. It was on a Saturday but even leaving at 4 pm to be there by 5pm, and I was only 15 min away but it was still not early enough! Consider having your wedding earlier if you decide to book a wedding with this location in Pensacola. Took about 1 hr to get to my wedding! One other mishap was the violinist was late but probably due to traffic, she was a ok violinist but I wish the music was louder, the waves from the ocean were loud so you could not really hear the music that well. She also played the music I picked in the wrong order. Other than that everything was good! The set up was beautiful! Weather was perfect! Something is always going to happen on your wedding day and I hope this review will help other people with their wedding plans:)

Pat came highly recommended from multiple people. We decided on a small wedding on the beach at…read moresunset and didn't want to wait, so we set the date a few weeks out. I called Pat and she was so friendly and helpful. She explaining the different kinds of wedding ceremonies she performs. We opted for the fastest, due to our budget restraints. She was really sweet and said she wanted to get to know us so she could make the ceremony special for us. She said she usually meets with the couple to get an idea of their personalities but due to the short time frame and scheduling conflicts, on our end, we decided to do a video call. Pat was warm and friendly on the call. She felt like a family friend right away. After the call she emailed us questioned to answer about each other and our relationship. It was fun homework. We emailed her back the answers and she then responded with examples for vows which were beautiful. The day of the wedding it was forecasted for 90% chance of rain. The wedding was on the beach and we had no plan B so I picked up some waterproof mascara and eyeliner and said a prayer. It stormed and rained cats and dogs which delayed the set up, we had our reception in the beach also, but thankfully it cleared up just in time. Pat was early and super positive about the rain. When we finally got set up and it was go time and Pat was wonderful! She spoke loud enough and clearly for everyone to hear. She was funny at the right times and sentimental also which we will treasure forever. At the end she included all the guest which was sweet and fun. I highly recommend Pat!
