We are sincerely happy to serve and accommodate you so that your event day is one you will cherish and remember forever. The venue have captivating views of the gorgeous scenic waterfront which is breathtaking, dreamy, and idyllic for your memorable event.
The Venue was built in 1880 by a shipping company. Their ships sailed the Bay of Campache in Mexico catching red snapper. We have preserved the original flooring and many aspects of the its character. It does have a modern twist to give it a nice aesthetic balance. The Venue is well-kept and maintained. Everyone feels comfortable in relaxed luxury. We care about you and your guests experience.
From the time you reserve the Venue, to the end of your event, we care. We are available to answer your questions, you are our priority. We help you create your event day that is personalized and unique. We are available by text, email, or phone during regular business hours.
An important feature that you always need to consider is what are the hotel and accommodation options for your out-of-town guests. Guests do not want to have to worry about transportation. At Palafox Wharf there are 2 hotels close by, one across the street from the venue and another one block away with super easy walking distance.
As an option most clients elect to add to their package Palafox Wharf's in-house event planning or coordination feature. This will help you make decisions and coordinate even the smallest details of your event day. This also relieves a lot of stress. With 15 years experience, this is our expertise and will take away a lot of that pressure.
βPalafox Wharf was the perfect choice for my event! Beautiful outdoor & indoor space, Sandy was always quick to respond, sent lots of helpful emails & was able to accommodate me when I had to postpone my event. Their list of preferred vendors was also a great help to me planning her event from another state and they all turned out to be fantastic."
- Chelsea R.
We make a conscious effort to be more, to do more, and to give more. While it may seem as though our sole purpose is to provide a great relaxed friendly event venue for weddings and events, we strive for something higher. Palafox Wharf also serves the greater purpose of being a home away from home for everyone that walks through our doors. Itβs a special place, where friends and family can come together and create lifelong memories rooted in joy and happiness.
Carrie attended an event at Palafox Wharf and had so much fun & loved the idea of a scenic venue for her event that she booked her Event Day at the Venue.
Carrie says: "We absolutely loved holding our event at Palafox Wharf! They were wonderful to work with! Sandy kept me on track and went above and beyond to make sure our day was perfect. 90% of our guests travelled in for our event, and they still rave about the venue!"

Amy says, "I initially booked Palafox Wharf, I chose them because of easy things to recognize, such as location. What is better than downtown Pensacola, right on the water, and in walking distance to the bars? My guests raved about the location because everyone flew into town for the event and did not need a car the entire weekend. Also, their property is simply gorgeous. It sits on the water and the sunset at the perfect time in the evenings where it sits behind a building so guests don't sweat and the lighting is perfect outdoors. During the planning process, Sandy went above and beyond to make it as easy as possible. She provided me with a list of preferred vendors. This was probably my favorite thing they provided, because it made choosing vendors extremely quick. Also, because they were work together so frequently, there was never any miscommunication about my event. Everything was very familiar and comfortable for all of my vendors, making it easy for me to plan a destination event."
