We had our rehearsal dinner in the Tupelo Courtyard at the Sandestin resort. The food was catered through the Sandestin resort and it was wonderful. The location is beautiful....a little secluded slice of Europe...I loved the fountains. At night all the light strands are turn on and we had added our own music (Andre Bocelli, Michael Buble, etc). We had candles everywhere...and it was magical. We had a sign in table on the walkway from the parking garage to the to the courtyard. Once the rehearsal dinner was over...everyone went out and had fun at all the local places and most have shuttles back to the hotels. Another major advantage of this venue is that there is a beautiful townhome rental community right next to the courtyard called LE JARDIN. It was so convenient..it made it easy to get ready/walk to the rehearsal, we stored all our gifts and it is only 30 seconds away from the location. ****It actually ended up saving our wedding**** Le Jardin was our ceremony site because our beach wedding got cancelled due rain. The staff accomodated our needs and helped us transport all the furniture to an empty unit. Le Jardin has a beautiful courtyard fountain and it made the whole experience even better despite the rain. DEFINITELY A MUST!!!
