How will I get there?

Answer

The nearest airport is JAX located 28 miles from the Wedding venue (Casa Marina). This is typically a 30 minute Uber or Lyft ride, but other options such as renting a car are absolutely available!

Question

What will the weather be like?

Answer

Typical average daytime temp in Jax this time of year is a high in the mid 70s and lows around 60 degrees. A light jacket/raincoat is recommended just in case those evening temps get lower or a very common Florida rainstorm comes through off the coast!
