Destination Events was amazing! 10/10.

We just got married there last weekend and it was nothing short of amazing. We chose to have our guests sit at tables for the ceremony, but regular seating was an option. You get the whole upstairs, so we had an intimate ceremony and dinner in the banquet room and then our reception with more guests on the terrace. They have different price point packages. But for us DG made it so much less stress because it was everything under one roof - food (dinner & late night pizza), cupcakes, drinks, linens, the flowers in our centerpieces and on our arch were from them, signage (bar sign, welcome sign in lobby, etc). The food was amazing, we got so may compliments on food and cupcakes. They have lots of different packages available for food. We didnt have to coordinate a bunch of vendors, which really took the stress off of me! It’s also just a beautiful space! The whole staff was amazing from planning to day of! Check it out!

One of a Kind

Our day was absolutely perfect! The team at Destination Grille went above and beyond to make our day extra special. All the extra touches from personalized signage (welcome sign at entrance, bar menu, menu cards), His and Her cocktails and a one on one with the chef for a menu tasting are just a few of the “extras” the team did to make our day a little more memorable. The terrace turned dance floor was the perfect way to spend our reception! We danced the night away as the sun set and captured some of the best photos with our guests. We couldn’t imagine a better space and can’t recommend DG and their team enough!
