Best of the Emerald Coast – Event Recap

Each year, the winners of Best of the Emerald Coast gather to celebrate at Grand Boulevard. This sold-out event is attended by locals and visitors to the Emerald Coast to enjoy a night surrounded by the best of the best. The SunQuest catering chefs served samples of our Short Rib Small Plates, a special rendition of our Braised Boneless Short Rib served on the SOLARIS Yacht dinner cruise. The short rib is cooked in a tawny port, served with garlic mashed potatoes, seasonal vegetables, and topped with a smoked tomato cream sauce.

SunQuest’s very own design team, including Christy, one of our Wedding Planners, Kristi, our Marketing Director, Marta, our Head Florist & Designer, and Courtney, Director of Events, set up the SunQuest Catering tent in the VIP section at the Best of the Emerald Coast event located in the Grand Boulevard shopping center in Sandestin.

Sticking to what we know best, the design team showcased a stunning floral installation featuring a rainbow of dried florals. The piece consisted of dried palms, cattails, orchids, Italian rusks, and anthuriums of pink, yellows, oranges, greens, and whites. In addition, the table was adorned with gold bud vases and urns filled with tropical bright flowers.
