What are the most popular types of wedding venues in St. Johns County?

Historic courtyards and ballrooms downtown, oceanfront and beach clubs in Ponte Vedra and on Anastasia Island, golf clubhouses at World Golf Village and in Palencia and Nocatee, and farms and barns around Elkton and Hastings. Waterfront spots along the Intracoastal and the St. Johns River near Julington Creek round it out. Each has a different vibe, parking story, and price.

When is wedding season in St. Augustine?

October through early May is peak, with March, April, October, and November the busiest months. Those are the dry, mild months and the ones that book a year or more out. June through September is slower and cheaper, but you plan around heat and afternoon storms. Nights of Lights in late November through January adds crowds and parking pressure downtown.

Can I get married on the beach in St. Augustine or Ponte Vedra?

Yes. Beach ceremonies happen all the time at St. Augustine Beach, Crescent Beach, Vilano, and Ponte Vedra. Public beaches in St. Johns County may require a permit for a ceremony with chairs, arches, or more than a small group, and rules differ between county beaches, the City of St. Augustine Beach, and state parks. Ask the office that manages that stretch of sand before booking vendors.

What is a good venue for a corporate event or retreat near St. Augustine?

Companies tend to use the resort hotels and conference space at World Golf Village, the oceanfront resorts and clubs in Ponte Vedra Beach, and the larger historic hotels downtown for dinners and award nights. Smaller teams rent private dining rooms, breweries, and waterfront restaurants. Most offer day-rate meeting packages that include AV and lunch for 75 to 150 dollars per person.

Do venues require a specific caterer or bar service?

Many do. Hotels, golf clubs, and some historic properties run their own kitchens and require you to use them, often with a food and beverage minimum. Others have a short list of approved caterers who know the space. A few, especially farms and private estates, let you bring anyone licensed and insured. Ask early because it changes your total budget.
