"LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION"
Palafox Wharf Waterfront Wedding/Reception Venue was unique. The outdoor waterfront lawn area was ideal for our grandson's wedding ceremony. We placed a bamboo arch overlooking the water for the exchange of vows and seated well over 100 guests. The indoor facility and outdoor deck lends itself to a variety of decorating possibilities. We found that the Old World charm of the building doesn't need a lot of additional decorating though. Table decorations were the main indoor decor. Sandy, who assisted in the rental and who was present on the wedding day, was efficient and ready to provide guidance. I would definitely recommend this lovely venue.

"PARTY OF THE YEAR"
I just wanted to drop you a quick note of thanks! Our wedding reception was absolutely fabulous. The space was perfect. I was so pleased how all of the decor turned out. Adam and I had an absolutely perfect wedding day and everyone we have since spoken to has told us the reception was the party of the year! Woohoo! Right now Adam and I are off to Costa Rica for 8 days of honeymooning. I will be sure to send you professional pics of your wonderful space as soon as I get them. Thanks again for everything.

"A BREATH OF FRESH AIR"
Where to even begin? I was just recently married at the Palafox Wharf and I loved it! From beginning to end, the experience was amazing! I don't live in Pensacola so I was worried I would be unable to really take part in every step of the venue planning. The venue coordinator, Sandy, was amazing. She kept me up to date with everything by email and over the phone. I had to rely on my mom for all of the decisions that had to be made in person and Sandy was there to help guide her on everything. The site was beautiful, clean and had such a great charm about it. It is restored but still has that old world feel to it. The grounds are just as beautiful and the location you just can't beat. Nestled right in the heart of historic downtown Pensacola and on the water, it makes for some amazing photo ops! I'm sure the Wharf has hosted tons of events, but they still had a way of making us feel "special" and ultimately that is how every bride and groom want to feel. That night, our dreams really did come true.. Thank You Palafox Wharf!

"AWESOME"
We had an awesome wedding at Palafox Wharf! Sandy was very helpful throughout the whole process. Always quick to respond to e-mails and calls, provided great ideas of other vendors, and just a nice person. The place is beautiful. Couldn't have asked for a better place!

"NOTHING BUT RAVES!"
"When I walked in Palafox Wharf for the first time after my daughter’s Wedding Ceremony, it just blew me away. I have had nothing but raves over the wedding and the reception. You will be getting more business from our wedding. But you are probably so busy already. If I had it to do over again, I would definitely choose Palafox Wharf. Did you get any pictures? I will make sure you get plenty.
At the wedding, my little granddaughter, who was the flower girl, walked over to Emily during the ceremony and hugged her. We all lost it over that. It was just perfect.
Thank you for everything, Sandy. It was beautiful. "

"PALAFOX WHARF WAS FABULOUS! "
"My husband and I hosted our daughter and new son-in-law's wedding reception at Palafox Wharf. From start to finish, Sandy McDavid was helpful beyond compare, warm in personality, and readily available. The site was beautiful with it's old world decor (exposed brick, wood beams, etc) and the location on the water couldn't be beat. The huge outside deck was a lovely place for guests to gather for a sunset toast or to rest between dances. The building itself needs very little decorating, though we went with a colorful theme. The bathrooms were modern and immaculate. I can't say enough! Thanks Sandy, for your lovely place. "
