Our ceremony begins at 2pm at the Cathedral Basilica and is predicted to conclude around 3-3:30pm. Cocktail hour that leads into the reception begins at 5:30pm at the Lightner Museum.
There are so many things to do in St.Augustine! We recommend either going back to your hotel/air bnb and freshening up or walking down St.George Street. If you are interested in the history there are trolley rides that will take you around the city! There are several beach accesses out of the downtown St.Augustine area and several bars to grab a drink- Tini Martini Bar is a great option! We recommend NOT eating something heavy during the break period as we have many Hors d'oeuvres for cocktail hour & a full seated plated dinner prepared for all guests!
The ceremony and reception are both inside, however guests will have access to the outdoor courtyard during cocktail hour.
Unfortunately, parking is extremely limited as both venues are located in a popular tourist city! We recommend ubering to venue & reception if you are staying at a hotel that is far from the venues. However, a few of the hotels listed on our website are within walking distance to both venues. The Cathedral (ceremony) and the Lightner Museum (reception) are within walking distance to each other.
Yes! We will be providing beer, wine, seltzers & signature cocktails for all guests.
