Attentive, Caring, Delicious and Wonderful!

A1A Ale Works was an incredible host for our wedding reception. We worked closely with Barbara Herman who was kind, attentive and responsive to all our needs, wants and goals. Barbara answered emails, texts and phone calls within minutes and always went the extra mile to make sure we were happy and didn't have to worry about a thing.

We had a buffet including salmon, pork loin, chicken and sides, which everyone found delicious. And even with 6 vegetarian/vegan guests, Barabara and the staff were able to provide them with vegan pot pies, which they LOVED. The butler passed hors d’oeuvres were delicious and went fast during the cocktail hour! The staff was also kind enough to plate a dinner for us as the bride and groom to make sure we ate, and got to try everything.

The bar was a big hit too! The drinks were flowing regularly with attentive and quick bartenders. And for the champagne toast, they were quick to hand out hefty pours to each and every guest before the speaking even begun!

All in all, we LOVED A1A Ale Works. The venue, the staff, the food, and the drinks were all phenomenal! We couldn't have picked a better place. Thank you!!!

Beth was awesome! She makes you feel like your event is the most important to her. She was very flexible and accommodating, which was particularly important since we live 3 hours away. The food was the best catered food I have ever had and was very reasonable. We also had our rehearsal dinner at A1A Ale Works which I would advise everyone to do. It was the best and most well executed large party dinner at any restaurant I have ever been too! Do not hesitate to use A1A ALE WORKS!

Our Wedding

We planned our wedding in St Augustine from Philly and Barbara made that easy for us! Very flexible and always responded to emails timely. The room was perfect for dancing, which our families did most of the night! The food was delicious and all staff working that night were very helpful! We could not have asked for a better place to hold our reception!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
