Founded in 1883, St. Augustine Historical Society is a historic house and museum located in St. Augustine, Florida. The house and gardens make for an enchanting backdrop for your wedding ceremony and reception. The structure, itself, also known as the Gonzalez-Alvarez House, is a national historic landmark built in the 1700s and has been home to the words “I do” for decades. The venue sets a magical scene for your day surrounded by nature and steeped in history.

The venue is located just over one hour from Jacksonville International Airport and seconds from the banks of the Matanzas River and the Bridge of Lions. The Llambias House Gardens on-site offer a capacity of 250 for ceremony-only events and 130 guests for ceremony and reception events. The team at St. Augustine Historical Society works closely with wedding vendors in the area to create the wedding of your dreams in their picturesque venue.
Services Offered
Weddings hosted at the Society come with a wedding planner to help you to organize all the details. Their grounds are available for a number of events including civil unions, commitment ceremonies, and vow renewals.

Whether you’re looking to capture your wedding pictures, engagement photos, or save-the-dates, they will be one of a kind.

Professional Network & Endorsements
I coordinated a wedding in the Garden at the Oldest House over Labor Day Weekend. Working with Cheryl and her staff was a pleasure and they made sure that I had everything I needed to ensure the perfect day for my Bride and Groom. I highly recommend this location for anyone that dreams of a garden wedding.
BEAUTIFUL location for any wedding! Christy Christy Whitehead Photography www.ChristyWhiteheadPhotography.com
