  Tanner and his team made our destination wedding a dream come true! Trying to plan a Florida beach wedding while living in Texas would have been much more difficult and stressful without someone who was familiar with the area and the local vendors to guide us. Tanner was excellent at coordinating meetings around our schedules and was always quick to respond to our questions. Our special day ran very smoothly thanks to him and his team! Oh, and his wife made the most beautiful bouquets I've ever seen!

  We highly recommend Emerald Beach Weddings. Everything was great. Tanner and his team were fantastic to work with from start to finish. They got all the details right and were committed to making this special occasion special and memorable. We especially appreciated the experience that Tanner brought as he was a calming force as we got into the most stressful times just before the wedding. I could go on and on with details but suffice to say that Emerald Beach Weddings was the right choice for us and they were a major factor in having a wonderful wedding.

  Do yourself a huge favor and hire Tanner and his team at Emerald Beach Wedding! First of all they are the hardest working team in Destin! I watched them transform our wedding venue/beach house into an absolutely magical setting that our guests are STILL talking about. Tanner is the MOST PATIENT person I have ever met. His demeanor through the whole process was professional and quite amazing. His wife Katreena, is an absolute doll, and her work is OUTSTANDING. The flowers were so beautiful, the pictures don't do them justice. We also had our catering, along with multiple other services, done through Emerald Beach Wedding. Our guests went back for seconds, it that tells you how much they liked the food.....again OUTSTANDING!! The services that they are offer are the definition of all inclusive. I can't begin to express our gratitude for Tanner and his team. Our day turned out to be absolutely PERFECT and it was because we chose Emerald Beach Wedding as our planner. THANK YOU!!!

  Emerald Beach Wedding & Events literally saved my wedding! My husband and I live in Ga. so we were clueless about where/how to have a beach wedding and reception. I didn't do my research well enough and hired an inexperienced, out of state wedding company that gave us an ill advised wedding location. After putting a deposit down to secure the date we made accommodations for our guests and sent our invitations. I barely heard from the owner again, even after trying to set up a meeting since my mom and I traveled 6+ hrs to scope out reception venues. The owner finally contacted me on our last day in Fl. to inform me she did not have time to meet. I decided then to eat our deposit and find another company. Needless to say, I broke down. My wedding day was falling apart.No venue, no wedding event planner/company, and no reception. After praying hard, I remembered I had wrote down Emerald Beach Wedding & Events after coming across their website while searching for venues on eventwire. Within an hour of calling them, we were meeting in person and discussing damage control. Thankfully Tanner had my date open. He called his vendors(DJ, caterer, and photographer) then and there to check their availability and they, too, had it open! It was DEF an answered prayer! Tanner's company travels all over the Gulf for events but thank God he had the perfect location just 10 minutes from our original location, Ft. Walton,which made the change easier for our guests. After hearing the disaster of my story,he had mercy on me. He hand picked everything I wanted for our wedding & reception.He communicated promptly & was patient & understanding with every annoying question I had. He took my vision and made it better just by telling him my ideas. If you're searching for a stress-free, reasonable, talented event planner with a professional staff that is on-point,this is the company.I can't say enough about how awesome they are & how amazing they made my special day!

  Tanner Foster and his staff at Navarre Best Western Waterfront in Navarre, Florida did an amazing job on my daughter's beach wedding. Tanner was very accommodating and always ready to answer questions and concerns. He was able to give us good referrals for additional services as well. I was amazed at how hard all of his staff was working to bring this event together. Everything came to together so beautifully, and it was truly awesome. His staff was very friendly and polite, not to mention helpful. The caterer and bakery he used for the food and cakes were excellent. We stayed at the Best Western Hotel as did many of our family members, which was conveniently located to many restaurants, grocery stores and even Walmart for those last minute wedding items. I would highly recommend this service and I was more than pleased with the outcome.

  I got married in April at the Best Western Navarre. Tanner Foster was my wedding coordinator that I worked with through the Best Western. I started planning with Tanner in Oct. and was a little nervous planning a wedding in Flordia all the way from California.
  My wedding turned out to be awesome. Tanner was always easy to get a hold of. He pays attention to detail. All the decorations were exactly as I wanted. The drinks, food, and cake were delicious. The crew set up and took everything down which made for a relaxing time for everyone. Tanner coordinated the ceremony which made it run smoothly. The pavilion and beach front that we got married at was well taken care of.
  Overall I was really happy with my wedding and how professional Tanner was. I would recommend Tanner to anyone planning a wedding!!!

  Tanner Foster did my baby shower in the beginning of the year. He was very professional and went above and beyond my requests. A few things we planned out together but others I wanted to be surprised on. When I first arrived at my baby shower I was blown away at how much detail was put into the event. My baby shower was more beautiful than my wedding! Tanner has an eye for coordination and a taste of class!

  Tanner Foster is a very professional, high energy, efficient event coordinator. He is very personable and makes you feel like your event is of the highest and utmost important thing going. He made sure to keep in touch with me throughout the whole process making sure I was staying on task on things we should be doing to make our whole event come together. There was a storm in the gulf and he came up with a plan B, low and behold the day of the event the sun was shining and all was beautiful. He put our minds to rest letting us know that our wedding was going to be beautiful with our without a storm. He was there the night of the event making sure his staff was handling everything and he was super helpful to everyone in our party helping make this day extra special. I highly recommend Tanner and would use him again and recommend him to my friends.

  I had a really small intimate ceremony on Navarre Beach, FL. Tanner was able to accommodate the small al la carte needs I had (chairs, officiate, photographer, bridal bouquet and one boutonniere). It was reasonably priced and everything turned out great! The bridal bouquet was beautiful and very well price in comparison to other local florists I received pricing from. There was one small issue with marriage certificate, but Tanner quickly took care of it! Always a quick response too! Thank you Tanner for helping make our day amazing!

  Tanner took $5,000 and totally ghosted a friend 3 weeks before her wedding. My friend was finally able to reach him.through his significant other, and Tanner promised that everything had been booked. When my friend asked for detailed information because he had been unreachable, he promised that info and then proceeded to block my friend and her fiancé. She is now scrambling and completely distraught trying to square away vendors for a destination wedding 3 weeks before the ceremony. DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY, THEY WILL TAKE YOUR MONEY AND RUN

  BEWARE DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY. THEY WILL TAKE YOUR MONEY AND DISAPPEAR. I AM OUT OVER 5k AND I FOUND OUT HE HAS SEVERAL LAWSUITS AGAINST HIM.
  
  Tanner needs to be taken off this site as he is nothing but a scam artist.

  TANNER IS A THIEF! HE WILL PROMISE YOU YOUR DREAM WEDDING, TAKE YOUR MONEY AND DISAPPEAR. HE STOLE $5000 WE PAID FOR OUR DAUGHTER'S WEDDING, THEN DISCONNECTED HIS PHONE AND ALTERNATE CONTACT NUMBER DAYS BEFORE HER WEDDING DAY. WE FOUND OUT 4 DAYS BEFORE THE WEDDING WHEN WE ARRIVED IN TOWN TO MEET WITH TANNER AND GO OVER FINAL DETAILS THAT NOTHING HAD BEEN RESERVED OR BOOKED. WE HAD PEOPLE FROM ALL OVER THE COUNTRY AND THE GROOM'S FAMILY FROM GUATAMALA COMING TO THE WEDDING. THANKFULLY WE HAD BOOKED OUR OWN CATERER, PHOTOGRAPHER AND FLOWERS, BUT ALL THE OTHER DETAILS INCLUDING THE OUTDOOR VENUE, LIGHTING, OFFICIANT, CAKE, DECORATIONS ETC WERE SUPPOSED TO BE BOOKED THROUGH TANNER. NOTHING HAD BEEN DONE. KEEP YOUR MONEY AND RUN FAR AWAY FROM THIS THIEF AND LIAR!!

  I would not recommend Tanner and his services. He was extremely unprofessional and offered little in the way of assistance. We picked him because the pricing was amazing. We were fooled in that the caterer charged double what Tanner presented us in the contract. He said the caterer was a preferred vendor, but after speaking with the Vendor he said he never worked with Tanner before. Also Tanner wanted to bring the boiled shrimp to save this money. We removed this from the contract along with cake vendor. In person, my wife offered suggestions for our decorations months before the wedding, but he responded "I am not writing that down because brides change their minds, but when the time comes I can get whatever you want." So when there were weeks left and we were attempting to finalize decorations (when we could get a hold of him), he sent a photo of a white vase and flowers, which looked like he went to Dollar General. We only have a week left since the initial emails over a month ago, which he was very rude in his responses, often only replying to one question and then when asked if he had any more answers, he would say "I have answered all of your questions." I informed him that the center piece he sent will clearly not work, Tanner responds “I am not happy with it either, but since there is only a week left we can pay what he normally charges couples for anything under the sun, or you can do it yourself." So instead we completed the centerpieces. The photos from his website of the blue vases, with all the greenery around it were completed by my wife and her family. She did all of the decorations excluding the "cafe lighting." Please do not be mislead by his casual demeanor and his great prices. You will not receive great service, quality of production, or meet any of your expectations. We completed the timeline, itinerary, and wedding script for the day w/o his assistance. I am 30y/o. I never asked for money back. A day after this review Tanner charged me $1868

  Emerald Beach weddings & Events went above and beyond to make not just this couples dream day perfect but every couple. Our clients over the years have become not only friends but also family. We work in the one industry that perfection is a must and that is what we strive to give each and every couple we work with. I hate to see our first negative review comes from a teenager that wanted his money back due to mistake from his own part. Our company never spoke to the bride during the whole planning time. We communicate with the groom, which had no answers for anything, which was needed to plan and be prepared for the wedding. This couple had booked a package, which had details of what is came with. They wanted to have a very high class wedding for free. We want to thank you for your business and the review. We do wish in the future you wont write a false review out of anger.

  I hired Tanner to plan my Sept 2015 wedding and a month before my wedding, he disappeared. He blocked my now husband and I on social media and refused all attempts at communicating. Not only did he and his wife run off with $2800 of our hard earned money, he left me with the extreme stress of starting the planning process over a month before my wedding. Do not use this company.
