Attended Granddaughter's wedding and could not have been more impressed with the dedication and service of Giovanni's staff it was simply outstanding. The serve staff was a constant presence asking about drinks or food - friendly and open and if one needed anything, they were there to handle it quickly and efficiently. The venue itself is different and cozy with plenty of room for small parties with a large bar/dance floor with gives plenty of room for guests to interact with each other. The Manager Chris was a constant presence even to the point of helping ride herd on two rambunctious boys during the evening. Overall Giovanni's One89 is a great place to hold an event and I would not hesitate to book this venue should the need ever arise. I highly recommend Giovanni's One89.... ~ Tom Francis
I chose Giovanni’s One89 as my rehearsal dinner location for the weekend of October 26th! It was beyond perfect in every way. The staff was wonderful, the food was delicious, the drinks and cocktails were on point, and most of all the location right on The Sound topped everything off. We arrived right when our reservation started and the drinks immediately were served, salads started rolling out alongside bread with olive oil dipping sauce and so forth. We chose a buffet option and the set up was just beautiful, and their was so many leftovers! Jamie even boxed up the leftovers for the bridal party members to take back to our condo with cooking instructions and storage instructions. Literally nothing went wrong, everything was perfect! We were able to play some games down by the beach when we were done and take beautiful sunset pictures on the dock. Jamie and her staff are WELL EQUIPTED and VERY KNOWLEDGABLE bridal industry professionals, I would 100% recommend to any bride to chose Giovanni’s as a wedding venue or rehearsal venue! ~ Allison Phillips
Our daughter was recently married at Giovanni’s ONE89 and we could not have been happier with this very special day. The venue was beautiful, the staff was outstanding, friendly, and incredibly gracious tending not only to our needs, but to our guests as well. During our planning, Jamie went above and beyond to answer every question professionally, without hesitation, and arranged to meet all of our special requests. The food was absolutely delicious and some of the best food we’ve ever enjoyed at a wedding. Jamie, Chris, and the staff made us feel as if we were working with family to plan our daughter’s wedding ~ Jody McCormick Capik
I cannot say enough good things about this place!! Not only is it dockside and gorgeous, but the people who run this place, (I think it’s family owned) work really well together as a team!! We had everything run so smoothly, no complications or dilemmas! They were the most accommodating to everyone, and had the best attitudes about it! They truly made my wedding day so special! Anyone looking for a venue in this location should seriously consider this place. They were priced VERY reasonably, and truly went above and beyond! Continually asked us if we needed anything, and we never went without. So a big huge giant THANK YOU!!!!!!!! To the Giovanni’s One89 family for opening up this beautiful venue for us and making our day so spectacular! ( and sorry for anyone who overindulged and maybe got too rowdy ) -which by the way- they were really easy going about and it took so much stress off of the brides! We truly appreciate all of your efforts!

I have so many fabulous things to say about this establishment. My daughter was married here last night. The staff went above and beyond plus more. The set up was beautiful. Jamie and Chris made sure everyone was catered to and my wine glass was never empty. If you are looking for a wedding venue...look no farther. You will not be disappointed. Thank you guys!!

This Sunday my husband and I celebrate our one year anniversary. While we have many happy memories from that day, one that stands out is where we had our wedding! We had our wedding and reception at Giovanni's One89 and it was absolutely wonderful. Between the restaurant, the food and the view we couldn't have asked for more. When planning our wedding, you would have thought we were family. Every detail that we wanted was done and then some. We had an array of appetizers, a bride and groom punch, other drinks and buffet for dinner with many of their bestselling dishes. Everyone raved about the food. Many said they usually leave a wedding still hungry but, not this time. The management team, Jamie and Chris, were on hand and overseeing everything. We could just enjoy the evening and not worry about anything. After the wedding, we actually had men comment on how much they enjoyed the wedding. Sorry, but you just don't normally hear that from men - women yes but men not so much. A year later we still have people talking about our wedding at Giovanni's One89. If you are looking for a place to have a wedding or any special event, consider Giovanni's One89; you won't be disappointed. For my husband and I, we plan on going back to Giovanni's One89 on our anniversary to relive our wonderful day. Thank you Giovanni's One89 for all the special memories.

Beautiful venue to get married! Jamie and her team are exceptional & go above and beyond to make sure everything is perfect. Our guests were raving about how delicious the food was and how great and attentive her staff was all night. This is a great place to consider for your wedding or next event.

Where do I begin? My new husband and I got engaged in April of 2017 and immediately knew we would be married at Giovanni’s One89 as it is our absolute favorite spot in Fort Walton Beach. For almost an entire year and a half, Jamie and the staff at Giovanni’s treated us like royalty. Jamie answered every question we had and catered to our every need. Fast forward to the night of the wedding and there is not a single thing that could have been better! Just the ambiance of the venue makes it such a magical place to begin with, on top of that...the staff and the food made our wedding an absolute DREAM!!!
Jamie worked with us tirelessly on every detail of our wedding at Giovanni’s. She helped us customize our menu to the finest detail, ordered specific wines, and made custom cheesecakes we requested. Every single one of our guests raved about the delicious food and what an amazing experience the entire wedding was. We cannot thank the entire staff at Giovanni’s One89 enough for making our wedding dreams come true!

Giovanni's is the BEST place to get married in this area, but only if you're interested in excellent service, delicious food, and a beautiful setting at a reasonable price! We had our first date at the Tiki bar a few years ago and when it came time to plan our wedding we knew just where to start. Jamie was extremely helpful from day one with showing us the options and answered every random question I had along the way. All of the staff working the wedding were friendly and efficient, and they always seemed to appear with another drink just as mine became empty. The outdoor area had a place for the kids (and kids at heart) to play jenga and corn hole, the guys to enjoy a drink at the tiki bar, and the plenty of dance floor space for those wanting to dance the night away. We were 100% satisfied with our experience as bride and groom as well as every time we've eaten there as patrons. Keep up the great work guys!!! ~ Tamera Klann
Thank you Jamie and everyone at Gio's!!!! Awesome venue for party! Great meals for dinner! Relaxing atmosphere on the sound for cocktails! Had dinner there to try out menu, and wow! great food and delightful service! Hosted a 160+ guest party on the lawn and Jamie and staff were impeccable with flawless event (even recovering from a thunderstorm), with awesome food, friendly serving, and professional catering! Then came back for cocktails at the tiki bar, and again, wonderful, friendly service with fantastic food! Huge shout out to John from the kitchen! He prepared some delicious pizzas and tuna dip, and also takes care of the property! Very friendly staff! It's obvious this restaurant family takes care of each other and share their love of meals with the community! ~ Lisa Goldsmith
I chose Giovanni’s One89 as my wedding venue and it was the best decision ever! My wedding was the most perfect day and I cannot thank Giovanni’s enough for adding to our joy on our special day! Jamie was fantastic to work with during all the planning and day of, as well as the wonderful staff! The food was amazing, the service was great and the venue overall is charming and beautiful!! I would highly recommend for any special occasion! ~ Michelle Elizabeth
Jamie, I wanted to thank you for the wonderful wedding reception dinner that you all hosted for us last Saturday night. There were many compliments from the guest as to how incredibly good the food was and they all enjoyed having the sampler plate. The service was impeccable. Thank you for a wonderful ending to a very happy day.

We had our wedding at Giovanni's One89 and we could not find fault. The venue was excellent and everything we were looking for in terms of the scenery, atmosphere, and out of this world food. All the products are fresh and the dishes have the warmth of homemade food. The staff is amazing and our every need was met. We especially want to thank Jamie, Brittany, Mike, and Tina. Every time was have dinner there will bring back wonderful memories.
Gigi Thompson
Thank you so much for the amazing wedding reception you and your staff provided for us on June 20th. Everything was absolutely PERFECT!! All of our guest have commented about what a great time they had. Everyone agrees that the setup, the food, the staff, the drinks & the music .... were superb!! Several people told us the stuffed mushrooms were the best they ever eaten so kudos to the chef! The servers were amazing & so much fun! We all loved Adam Holt duo. They played music that was perfect for our age group. If they didn't know a request they downloaded and played it on their sound system. We had so much fun dancing! We are already looking forward to our next trip to Okaloosa Island! We will definitely stop in for dinner while we are there! Thanks!

John and Amber Gentry would like to praise Jamie and the amazing staff at Giovanni's. They went above and beyond to accommodate us and our guests during our wedding reception. Their kind, eager, and polite demeanor to attend to our every need was impressive. They made us feel like family. We cannot say thank you enough, but we will continue to brag heavily on them for all that they did to help make our special day perfect! Forever Grateful!

Just a short note to let you know how much the Men of Omega Psi Phi fraternity appreciated your outstanding support for our event last month. We were COMPLETELY impressed with your facilities and the services you provided! We would be greatly remised to not pass on this praise to you and your staff! As a first time for many of our attendees, they were equally impressed and continuously mentioned plans to return to your restaurant in the near future. Again, we are very grateful to you and hope to do it again next year!
Very Respectfully,

We rented the entire outside of Giovanni's One89 so we could have our daughters wedding and reception all at one venue. Let me just say the Venue was PERFECT! From the back of the restaurant on the Deck where Frank Vitale did the DJ'ing to the Pier on the Sound, EVERYTHING TURNED OUT BEAUTIFULLY! Most importantly I need to THANK Jamie, the Events Coordinator and The Staff for being ON POINT!!!!! From the wonderful outdoor Bartender at the Tiki Bar, to the AMAZING FOOD SERVED HOT AND FRESH, and THE INCREDIBLE WAITRESS, WAITER, STAFF and JAMIE FOR BEING SO INCREDIBLY ATTENTIVE TO OUR EVERY NEED!!! The wedding turned out Beautifully & the Reception was so much FUN!!! The price was extremely reasonable!! I would recommend Giovanni's One89 to anyone who needs a WEDDING VENUE, LARGE FAMILY DINNER OR for those who want a delicious meal for a date night or just drinks at the BEAUTIFUL INDOOR BAR, OR THE RELAXING TIKI BAR OUTSIDE ON THE WATERFRONT! THANK YOU AGAIN TO... EVERYONE AT GIOVANNI'S ONE89, for making our Daughter Rachael & her now husband Travis' Wedding PERFECT!!
All our Gratitude,
Roberto & Erica Marin AND The Newlyweds Travis & Rachael Harrington
An absolute dream to work with! I coordinated a wedding at this venue and its hands down the best staff I have ever worked with! Jamie was very communicative and made sure everything was perfect. Her staff was very attentive to me and the guest, and got everyone what they needed in a timely manner. The staff also helped me break down which rarely ever happens! This venue has amazing customer service and is absolutely gorgeous!
Elizabeth Shea Steele
I would give Giovanni's and the wonderful staff that works here 10 stars if it were an option. I am a wedding planner with Southern Frills Weddings & Events and my clients chose this venue for their ceremony and reception site. I can not tell you enough how helpful the staff were! They went above every level, and out of their way to help make everything perfect!
Their timing on food was spot on, all of the guests were extremely pleased with the service and taste and quality of food. I would recommend this venue any day to any couple getting married in the area.
