The Wedding Authority

This review is coming a little late... Our wedding was in September 2025. The wedding authority is GOLD. Wonderful all around. We had our wedding ceremony in the Lightner Museum courtyard and the reception off site. What a beautiful venue! All of our guests commented on how beautiful this place is. We blind booked this venue because we're originally from Miami, and we're so happy with that decision! Aside from the beauty of this venue, the whole wedding authority team is just fantastic. They took initiative and care of everything the day of the wedding and made everything super easy for us, and my day-of coordinator. Reverend Bill was very kind and had a wonderful sense of humor. We are so grateful to him for marrying us. I highly recommend booking this venue for your wedding if you're looking for an outdoor venue.

Megan is amazing! We had the pleasure of working with Megan as our day-of coordinator for our wedding and I cannot sing her praises enough! Her attention to detail, forethought, and level of organization blew us all away, including my other vendors! They all were impressed with the detailed schedule she prepared and the level of communication she had with them. I truly appreciated this because this allowed us to relax and focus on other things, while she kept things flowing. She really helped us out by also allowing us to drop off decor items to her ahead of the big day, so we could travel to the venue lighter. She was so friendly, personable, helpful, everything one could ask for in a planner! Absolutely no complaints! Very grateful to have had her!

We cannot thank our incredible planner, Megan, and the entire TWA team enough. Throughout our wedding planning journey, Megan ensured we stayed on track, remained organized, and always felt supported. She was always available to answer questions, brainstorm ideas, and even offer a sanity check when needed. As a couple planning from New York and not being local to St. Augustine, we felt completely confident thanks to Megan’s extensive knowledge of the area, local vendors, and the wedding industry in general. Her expertise made it feel like we were right there in the heart of the planning process, despite the distance. After hearing countless wedding planner horror stories from friends and family, we are beyond grateful that Megan was by our side on our big day. Everything turned out beautifully—every detail came together perfectly, and our family and friends are still raving about the wedding. If you’re considering hiring TWA, don’t hesitate—ask for Megan. You won’t regret it!

Thanks to Megan we had a stress free wedding day. Megan did everything for us that day - she made sure we had our marriage license and had it filled out properly, she setup everything for us including yard games and video games on the mezzanine. She greeted all of our vendors and made sure they received their gratuity envelopes. She made sure everyone was ready for photos at the appropriate time. She setup a beautiful first reveal for my husband and me on the staircase which provided amazing photos for us. She helped all of our guests with anything they needed - she even helped with wardrobe malfunctions by taping together shoes and safety pinning dresses. She made sure to get appetizers and drinks for my husband and me to eat between cocktail hour and dinner so that way we had a moment to ourselves. She made sure to box up food for us when we left and had all of our items we brought consolidated in one place so we could just load up the car at the end of the night. Throughout the whole wedding process she provided checklists and checked in on us to help with anything she could. We highly recommend wedding authority for a completely stress free wedding day so you can just enjoy time with your partner, family and friends.
