My husband and I chose to have our destination wedding on the private beach behind the bonne terre home. We had all of our close friends and family stay in the beach house. It is the most beautiful home I have ever been in. Our wedding turned out amazing! The pictures do not do the house justice! I recommend it to anyone looking for a large beach house that is up to date and stunning!

We held my daughter's wedding at Bonne Terre and the facility far exceeded our expectations-it is truly spectacular in every detail. We rented the upstairs and downstairs which housed the brides' wedding party and their families and the brides' family plus the minister and his wife -a total of 19 people. We never felt crowded or uncomfortable in any way. All meals were prepared in the state of the art kitchen and eaten on site. We left only to go grocery shopping (Publix and Winn /Dixie are very close to the house). The grooms' family and wedding party were staying at another location close by, but they ate their meals with us at Bonne Terre increasing the # of people to 31: 27 adults and 4 children. The house accommodated and entertained us all. The wedding was the most beautiful event I've ever attended. Everything was perfect: the house, the beach, the pool...the weather. We built a bamboo canopy on the beach for the ceremony and the reception was held around the pool. The weather had threatened rain all day, but we set up the canopy and sound system and continued to make preparations; and in mid afternoon the sun broke through! The sunset was a spectacular backdrop to a beautiful wedding. We left there planning to come back.

We rented the entire house and hosted a wedding reception and the rehearsal dinner there. I got married on the beach directly behind the house and it was beautiful! My entire family stayed upstairs and my husband's entire family stayed downstairs. It was great because the two families really got to know one another, yet felt as if they had their own space. We did the majority of the food for the wedding and rehearsal ourselves and having two fully equipped kitchens was great. The house is gorgeous and perfect for this kind of event. The upstairs portion of the house was not as well equipped as the downstairs. We had 8 adults staying upstairs and I'm not sure there were even 8 bath towels when we arrived. We called for more and they were brought out the next day. We also checked in after hours and the key was supposed to be in the drop box and it was not. We called the after hours number and had to wait on someone to come to the office. The office is not near this house and having to go into Destin to get the key already added quite a bit of time on to our trip, plus having to wait on someone. The furnishings in the house are gorgeous, but some of the beds are not very comfortable. I think the master bedrooms have good beds, but the smaller bedrooms do not. Overall, I loved the house and would rent it over and over again. Wedding guests were also making plans to get a group together to rent it in the future. 30A is a wonderful area. I would recommend this house to anyone, and it is especially great for a wedding.
