ToggleKaitlyn and Tony, a Panama City couple, exchanged wedding vows on March 14th at Old Christ Church; March 14th, 10 or so years ago, was also their first date. Kaitlyn is a Physician’s Assistant/Nurse Practitioner. She works for an Orthopedic Specialists’ Group in Panama City, Florida. Tony works for Naval Sea Systems Command.
Both of them are huge dog lovers. On their wedding day, their emotional first look and beautiful vows to each other were some of the sweetest. At Pensacola’s Old Christ Church, these high school sweethearts surrounded by family and friends as they had a Christ-Centered wedding ceremony that proved their love for the Lord and each other.
They then took a less than 5-minute walk to Palafox Wharf Waterfront Wedding Venue and danced the night away. “Thank you for patiently loving me” has been stuck in my head ever since this sweet couple said their vows, and we wish them the very sweet couple said their vows and we wish them the very best.

I can’t imagine our reception being anywhere else! The moment we stepped into Palafox Wharf Waterfront, we knew we wanted to have our reception there. The entire venue and grounds are so gorgeous day and night.
The deck is perfect for cocktail hour and for guests to enjoy the waterfront sunset views. The inside was so clean and beautiful; all the wood details and romantic lighting were stunning. It truly made for the wedding of our dreams!
So much of that was possible thanks to Sandy, the owner. Her speedy communication and genuinely sweet and helpful personality made the entire process so easy and enjoyable. We are also super grateful for Neil, their in-house planner/coordinator. He ensured every last detail was better than we could have ever imagined. We are so grateful that this venue was such an integral part of our special day!
