FAQs
Question
Why Jacksonville?
Answer
As we were looking through Savannah and other coastal Georgia locations, we couldn't find a venue that accommodated both our guest list and vibe. So we moved our search to Florida, starting in Jacksonville, where Karen was born. Once we saw the photos of Epping Forest, we knew it was the place for us. Coincidentally, it is also directly across the river from Naval Air Station Jax, where Karen was born!
