"Sandy went above and beyond for our wedding venue. She was extremely helpful in helping coordinate with the vendors and our officiant. Sandy has an amazing venue and we highly recommend her and The Palafox Wharf for any important gathering while you are here in Pensacola. Chef Bob's catering was absolutely amazing and the food was nothing less than 5 stars. Neil, our officiant, was great and helped tremendously with organizing the ceremony with music and performing our wedding. Sandy worked diligently to get everything organized and made sure our wedding went as smooth as possible. I can't emphasize how important Sandy and her Palafox Wharf venue was to our wedding. She treated everyone involved like they were family."

"My brother married his beautiful bride at Palafox Wharf on April 6, 2024. It was a beautiful venue and we had a wonderful time there."

"Sandy is so wonderful!!!! Working with her is so easy and fun; she has wedding portal files or that are very detailed with vendor suggestions, decoration ideas, etc. on point. She also lets you know her preferred vendors too! We utilized vendors from her her list and when we communicated with them they all spoke very highly of her and the event space. A Also, she is always quick to answer any questions, offer suggestions, and make you feel at ease. As a customer its very heartfelt to know that you have made a good decision to have your event here!"

"We couldn’t have picked a better venue for our wedding than Palafox Wharf. We had a few choices that fit our budget and were available for our date, but as soon we visited Palafox Wharf we stopped looking at venues. We both loved the feel and look of the building as well as the location. It was important for us to find a location that we could have both the ceremony and the reception at and the lawn right next door was perfect spot for the ceremony. The deck and pier served as extra room for the party as well as the perfect backdrop for pictures. Sandy was a pleasure to work with and quick to respond to emails and questions. The portal and questionnaires she provided were extremely helpful and made it easy to stay on track. We also hired their in house planner, Neil, he was great to work with and I’m pretty sure the only reason the day went so smoothly. Neil helped plan the time line, setup our decor, coordinated with the vendors, and did the day of coordination for me. We rented rooms at New World Inn (directly across the street) to get ready in and Neil was able to pop over to help move things along. I didn’t worry about anything the day of which was amazing. They have a great list of vendors and did several introductions for us. We picked our florist, caterer, and bar vendors from their list but brought in our own vendors for DJ and photography services which was no problem at all. Sandy helped us with ceremony chairs, extra table rentals, and linen which was super helpful and one less vendor to contact. . Our guests all have said they loved the setting and had a ton of fun and we couldn’t be happier with our decision."

"The venue was everything I expected. Our representative Neal was superb and was always there to make sure our day was perfect. He even ran to the store to get champagne for our toast because we forgot to buy it. The owner, Sandy, provides numerous resources to get you started and to make sure your day flows as you wish. Palafox Wharf made my wedding stress free and I am very happy I chose them for my special day!"
