About

Choose from three unique buildings on our historic arts campus, or combine them for an unforgettable celebration. We provide vendor recommendations and support your event planning every step of the way – with more than 100 years of successful celebration, we’ve built a track record of hosting special events for our community and beyond.

Tables and chairs are included as standard with all Friday Musicale rentals – we’ll work with your vendor team to fine-tune the details, and make sure everything is in place from the first centerpiece to the grand exit.

Concordia Ballroom with Historic Foyer

Our largest indoor space, the Concordia Ballroom, features dimmable chandeliers, a stage with optional stairway, and seats up to 200 guests (150 with space for dancing). The dramatic entrance with columns and historic foyer guarantee stunning photo and video opportunities. One of Florida's oldest active wedding venues, Friday Musicale's Concordia Ballroom is packed with historic charm and character.

Intimate Setting for Smaller Gatherings

Adjacent to the ballroom, L'Engle Hall offers gathering space for up to 120 guests. The building can be rented alone, or in conjunction with the Ballroom for larger celebrations. The modern design provides a backdrop for any decor, and updated kitchen makes catering a breeze!

Murchison Lane - Historic Cottage in Downtown Jax

Perfect for micro-weddings or smaller celebrations, Murchison Lane is available alone or as an add-on (cocktails, bridal party, rehearsal dinner, VIP lounge...) Two original fireplaces and wrap-around porch!


Timeless Elegance at Affordable Rates

Three buildings offer our clients options to choose the space that best suits their vision and budget. Some clients have chosen to rent our whole campus - Concordia Ballroom, L'Engle Hall, and Murchison Cottage - plus ample outdoor space and on-site parking. Book your tour of our historic arts campus today!

WOW. Awesome place! Very beautiful! Jeff the manager was so helpful and gave expert advice on anything I needed. Friday Musicale holds a special place in my heart. Dancing with my bride was so special on that dance floor. If Jeff gives you some advice take it!!. He is one of the awesome factors of Friday Musicale.

A beautiful spot with folks who are easy to work with!

We had our Happily Ever After Party at Friday Musicale and it was fantastic! Jeff and Emily accommodated our every want and had great ideas as well. They provide a lot of flexibility so you can make it your own unique event. They also worked closely with our vendors (who we got to choose!). It was perfect and looking forward to being a member of this venue that does great work in Jacksonville.

Great space!!

I love this all in one venue. This was perfect for my intimate wedding for my family and friends. Mr. Jeff and Cece were amazing and were very helpful. It also is a great place for pictures. My photographer had so many ideas from this space that she bought to life!
