Congrats to Jarica and Michael on their amazingly romantic wedding at The Island, by Hotel RL on Okaloosa Island. The wedding planners at SunQuest Beach Weddings have the honor of assisting with wedding planning, day-of wedding coordination, wedding designs and wedding flower design for one of the premier wedding venues on Okaloosa Island.

The Island, by Hotel RL is a luxurious and breathtaking beachside resort on Okaloosa Island that is a perfect venue for a coastal or beach wedding. A beach front wedding ceremony and elegant indoor or outdoor reception sites set the stage for a truly unique and unforgettable wedding venue.

Speaking of unique and unforgettable, take a look inside Jarica and Michael’s big day at The Island, by Hotel RL! It was such a pleasure to celebrate with these two. Destin wedding photographer Mae Grace captured every moment perfectly!

Their wedding on Okaloosa Island was carefully designed and executed by the wedding planners at SunQuest Beach Weddings. It was a picture perfect day on Oklaoosa Island as Jarica and Michael chose to say their vows on the expansive and private Island Green. The scene for their wedding was framed by swaying Florida plam trees and the gorgeous sugar white beaches and emerald green waters as their backdrop. A romantically gorgeous floral ring, designed by our wedding planners, was the focal point at the altar. Our wedding planners executed their vision with a blend of light pink and plum flowers, complimented with lush greenery.

The color scheme was carried on through all the bridesmaids dresses as well as the wedding flower bouquets, boutonnieres and a flower crown for Jarica – a perfect touch to her luscious locks. Both Jarica and Michael’s vows to each other touched everyone’s heart.


“I knew when we met you would change my life. I just didn’t know how yet.” -Michael in his vows to Jarica

After the wedding, the newlyweds escaped to the sugar white beaches just steps away to capture some more amazing moments. Following their beach wedding pictures, they even sneaked away to the iconic “The Island” VW bus to take more pictures in front of the Island hotel.

After a great reception of food and fun, their guests created an aisle of sparklers for Jarica and Michael to exit as they concluded their dream day. It was the perfect ending to a perfect wedding day for a perfect couple!

The Knot Wedding Review: “Kristi was our wedding coordinator this past weekend at the Island on Okaloosa Island and she was amazing!!! If you are needing a wedding coordinator I highly recommend Kristi! She made everything go smoothly and we had no issues at all throughout the wedding day. She is kind, thoughtful and energetic. She was always asking if we needed anything and if everything was going the way we wanted. 100% recommend booking with Kristi as your wedding planner for your wedding day!!” – Jarica
