he first 

VIP Destin Magazine 

Cover Reveal Party of the 
year took place at the Emerald 
Grande Harbor View Room 

on Jan 4. The venue, overlooking the gulf, 
was a perfect place to be at 4:30 because 
guests were treated to drinks and some 
mouthwatering hors d’oeuvres prepared 
by Chef Jim McManus and his crew, 

while the sunset in the backdrop made it a 
perfect spectacle to enjoy. 

The January issue of the magazine 

included a special section on Weddings 
to kick off the bridal season on the 
Emerald Coast. The bride gracing the 
cover this month was real life bride, Paige 
Waterfield, who had no idea she would 
be on the cover. After being persuaded by 

her mom to come out to the 

VIP Destin 

Magazine event at the Harbor, little did 
she know what she was getting into until 
she walked in and saw her self on a life 
size poster. 

Thousands of dollars in door prizes 

were donated by local business and were 
given away to lucky winners as an exciting 
climax to the evening.
