Things To Do
Casa Marina Hotel and Restaurant
While this is our wedding venue, we also wanted our guests to know that Casa Marina has a fantastic rooftop restaurant called the Penthouse Lounge. It's a great spot to watch the sunset or enjoy a night cap. If you're staying in town through the weekend, be sure to make a reservation for their famous Sunday brunch! Some fun facts: Casa Marina was built in 1925 is recognized by the National Trust for Historic Preservation as one of the Historic Hotels of America. Known as the “grand lady” when it opened its doors, Casa Marina's filled with rich history, and the walls are adorned with photos from over the decades. Famous names like Jean Harlow and Al Capone stayed here back in the day!
Southern Kitchen & Bar
Another terrific spot to grab a bite with an oceanfront view!
Florida Theatre
For those in town early, the "Empress of Soul" who took the Midnight Train to Georgia, Gladys Knight, will be in town! Catch a show at the historic Florida Theatre in downtown Jacksonville.
