“The Lightner Museum was a wonderful venue for our wedding celebration. From the very first interaction, their communication style was quick, smooth, yet a bit complicated at times. However, the quality of their work and overall value was truly phenomenal. The historical elegance of the space provided the perfect backdrop for our special day.

“We had our wedding at Five Points Weddings & Events and couldn't have asked for better value for the space. When our outdoor reception got rained on, the day-of staff jumped into action without hesitation—they quickly moved everything inside, created a solid plan, and even lent us tablecloths when ours were soaked. The team communicated with us throughout the planning process, and their flexibility on the day really showed they cared about making our celebration work. One small thing that stood out to us was a staff member telling the bartender to cut people off who were clearly just having fun and dancing, not overindulging, which felt unnecessary. Overall, Five Points handled our wedding with professionalism and grace, especially when things didn't go as planned. We'd recommend them to other couples looking for a solid venue with a responsive team.”

“My husband & I are SO glad we chose Flagler's Solarium as our wedding venue! We wanted an elegant, fun, and picturesque wedding for our 60 guests and Flagler completely delivered. From the beginning, Hannah from the Flagler team was great at communicating with us and I felt we were in good hands. Even though we also had a wedding planner/coordinator, the Flagler team did so much to make our day go smoothly. The catering team also did an excellent job - our guests complimented our food, everything was served hot and promptly, and the staff were kind. Also, the views are truly amazing from the Solarium and we loved having an outdoor ceremony reception in March. Attached are some photos from our day. It's the best rooftop in St. Augustine and yet it seems to be a hidden gem!”

“When it came to planning our wedding, I always knew I wanted to get married in Downtown St. Augustine, Florida. Not only is it beautiful and historic, but it is also where I grew up and made many wonderful memories. Naturally, I wanted our wedding to become part of those memories as well. However, when it came to planning the day itself, we had to be practical since many of our guests would be traveling from both out of town and out of state to celebrate with us. After deciding where we would hold our intimate Catholic marriage ceremony - which included fewer than 25 people, including the priest, photographers, videographers, and violinist - the most important decision left was choosing our reception venue. Unlike our small ceremony guest list, our reception would host more than 150 guests. Because I no longer lived in Florida and was also finishing graduate school at the time, I was unable to tour reception venues in person. Thankfully, my parents graciously spent several weeks visiting and inquiring about many of St. Augustine’s notable wedding and reception venues, helping us narrow down our options. As someone born and raised in Florida, we had several important factors to consider when planning a wedding in the middle of August - especially for our out-of-state guests. First, August is both incredibly hot and humid. Second, it falls during the heart of Florida’s rainy season, when heavy rain and thunderstorms are common. Because of this, it was very important that our reception venue be completely indoors and well air-conditioned. These requirements narrowed our choices to only a select few, one of which was the historic Casa Monica Hotel. What ultimately solidified our decision to choose the Casa Monica was that it was not only beautiful and perfectly suited our historic wedding theme, but it was also the most practical option and checked every box on our list. Both the cocktail hour and reception were held entirely indoors between the Flagler Ballroom for cocktail hour and the main ballroom for the reception. The venue comfortably accommodated all of our guests, and room blocks were available for those attending the celebration, allowing them to simply head upstairs at the end of the evening rather than worry about transportation. In addition, the hotel staff and event manager were incredibly professional throughout the planning process and on our wedding day itself. The chef and kitchen staff also absolutely nailed our buffet selections. If you want to know just how good the food was, we still have people talking about and praising our wedding food to this day! If you are still trying to decide where to hold your wedding reception, I cannot recommend the Casa Monica enough. It was everything we hoped for and more, and it helped create the most perfect wedding day we could have asked for.”

When Should You Book Your Jacksonville Beach Venue?

Most couples secure their venue about 16 months (or 460 days) before their wedding date. December sees the highest number of venue inquiries in the area. If you have your heart set on a specific date during peak season you might want to book even earlier to avoid disappointment. Popular venues can fill up quickly especially for weekend dates during the most desirable months.
