Had an absolutely wonderful experience here. The venue is gorgeous and worth the money, and Laura and Michelle made the experience worry and stress free. They both were excellent with communication and I felt like nothing fell through the cracks. 10/10 recommend this and would 100% book here again! Reviewed on 19-01-2024

The most beautiful place!!! You get best of both worlds with this venue, the ocean view without the sand, and you walk right into your venue for your reception. I was looking for something with the beach view but wanted my wedding to be more elegant so I was able to accomplish both of these with this particular venue. We had the beach right there to go take private photos under the pier. The sunset is absolutely breathtaking 3 stories up. You have private elevator access for you and your guests so no worries about unwanted people coming to your wedding. Pier suite will set up all your tables and make sure you have the perfect layout that you want and will instruct your other vendors on where to set up. The bridal suite is perfect to hide out in until the ceremony, i also used it to get dressed in. I booked this location and I live in a different state, the website has a virtual tour which I used to plan my whole wedding. I didn’t actually see the venue in person until 3 days before my wedding and it was even that much better in person. During the reception you still have the whole deck area for your wedding guests to mingle. It’s literally the perfect place!!! Reviewed on 19-10-2023

Pier Suite Events was absolutely everything I wanted in a venue and more. Since they first opened, I knew I wanted to get married there. When mother nature didn’t cooperate on our special day, our back up plan was just as beautiful as we had imagined our day being.The owners, Michelle and Laura, are as equally incredible. When we had to execute the last minute back up plan, their team along with my coordinators, made sure everything was perfect. Earlier in the process when they learned I was having issues with the vendor, they reached out and offered to help in anyway possible. I can’t say enough good things about Pier Suite Events and both Michelle and Laura . If you are looking for a venue for your wedding day, look no further. Reviewed on 19-09-2023

They were very responsive, answered every question, walked me through the best table/chair setup, were communicative throughout the planning process, and were avaliable to my coordinator the day of the wedding when she had questions. We even talked the day after the wedding. I could not have asked for a more beautiful venue or better owners to work with. So glad I choose Pier Suite! Reviewed on 24-04-2023

Doris Furr(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 08-10-2022 We wanted a beach wedding but without the outside crowd. Pier Suites gave us exactly that. It is a stunning venue. We rented the lights and arbor and they did all the work from setting up tables, putting out chairs and even helped decorating the arbor. We could not have been happier with the venue. Everything was just beautiful. I had lots of questions in the beginning and they were quick to respond to any messages I sent. I would highly recommend Michelle and Laura at Pier Suite.

We had 100 people in attendance and sat about 70 or so inside with a big dance floor and the rest outside. It was a lovely evening! The place was very neat and tidy. The view was of course stunning!

Chantel Barnard(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 07-06-2022 My husband and I knew we wanted to do a destination wedding, but with the chaos of life I knew right from the start that planning our wedding was going to be time consuming and stressful. Michelle and Laura helped make our wedding everything we imagined it would be! We chose to do their micro wedding package and Pier Suite took majority of the stress away for us! They connected us with vendors which helped eliminate a lot of the decision making for us so we could focus on some of the more intimate details of the wedding. Our wedding day was nothing short of spectacular with amazing views, plenty of space for our party, and the ladies at Pier Suite were willing to accommodate for our party that turned much bigger than we had planned. Michelle stayed connected with us the whole time and was very responsive to emails answering all of our questions and very friendly. Thank you, Pier Suite, for providing such a beautiful venue for us to share such an incredible experience with our family and taking care of all the big things so we could enjoy the small moments.

Cali Davis(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 04-06-2022 Pier Suite Events being the venue was the first vendor I needed when booking my destination wedding. Michelle was my primary contact through the months of planning. She was excellent, arranging several meet ups to discuss layout and let us view venue, always so quick and responsive to our requests and worries, assisted with other vendor recommendations, truly doubled as a coordinator at times as well. The venue space is definitely not meant for a group larger than 100 but with my group of 90-95, we fit just perfectly and the views from this venue are to die for. Perfect spot for a beachside ceremony, quick walk up and party in the venue overlooking the beach/city. Highly recommend the venue and the team. Reviewed on 06-06-2022

They were always available, always understanding and always had solutions to any problems. I am so grateful to have had Pier Suites as my wedding venue. It was the craziest day that started with rain, warnings for flash flooding and 50mph winds ; none of that seemed to matter when I got off the elevator and saw the beautiful venue with a priceless view of pensacola beach. They had set up the most perfect spot for my ceremony and barely had to do anything to the space ; it’s beautiful as is. Forever grateful !

Abbigail Wehby(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 29-04-2021 Absolutely loved having my wedding here. The placed is already decorated for the most part and just adding subtle centerpieces made it perfect. There really aren’t any venues on Pensacola Beach like this one. You get to get married outside on a balcony that overlooks the Gulf of Mexico...Excuse me??? Also, you avoid the whole sand debacle because you don’t have to even touch the beach if you don’t want to. We had the bar outside and dancing inside. They include chairs, tables and linens in the upfront costs. Their pricing is totally fair. Michelle and Laura were great to work with. They get their brides and answered all of my questions. I cannot wait to share pictures. Reviewed on 12-05-2021
