We were very pleased with the professionalism of the sales and event planning team. The sales team went out of their way to accommodate our late request for a meeting. And the handoff to the event team was flawless. Our event coordinator was helpful when reviewing our options for food and drink selections and very responsive and flexible to our requests. Our experience with rooming requests and lists in other weddings (3) had not been great, but with this hotel and our event planner, everything was exactly correct and with all requests met. Our suite was the perfect size for entertaining all weekend. The food at the Welcome Party was beautifully displayed and delicious. The Duval room was the perfect size and the attending staff and bartender could not have done a better job. We also hosted a Farewell brunch and again the room size was perfect and the food was “best brunch food ever” as exclaimed by our guests. We would highly recommend this hotel !

When Should You Book Your Callahan Venue?

Most couples secure their Callahan venues about 16 months or 460 days before their wedding date with August being the busiest month for inquiries. You'll want to plan ahead since premium venues have limited availability especially during Florida's peak wedding seasons in spring (March-May) and fall (September-November). Booking early gives you the best chance of securing your dream venue and preferred date without having to compromise on your vision.
