This venue was absolutely amazing. Not only was it affordable, but Terri was great. She was very responsive when I had questions, and was extremely helpful. The guests raved about how pretty the ceremony site was. I would definitely recommend this venue to anyone.

Terri was absolutely wonderful to work with. If you are looking for a rustic outdoor venue for a deal, this is the place for you. Terri worked hard at creating an outdoor ceremony space for me as well as making sure everything was set up beautifully for the reception under the pavilion. It was seriously the best experience. We had a huge fire pit, plenty of room for parking and games, the pavilion is MASSIVE and it has so much space for dancing fun. I could not have imagined a better experience. Terri is flexible and there are AMAZING spots to take pictures.

The Hope Pavilion was absolutely amazing! The flyer that we were presented with when recommended did not do the venue justice. We had over 120 guests attend our wedding and with the space that the pavailion covers, we never felt like we were cramped or squeezed in. There are restrooms, a decent sized kitchen (all food prep needs to be done offsite) and a bridal suite for the ladies to finialize their looks. Terri was a pleasure to work with and she was very easy to communicate with. Bring your own vendors and provide decorations and your set. They provide plenty of tables and chairs and are very laid back. This place is definitely worth looking into!

The coordinator, Terri Mashour, was quick to respond to questions and was very helpful the day of the event. The pavilion was the perfect venue for Nease High School's Baccalaureate service.

Terri at Hope Pavilion was enthusiastic, easy to deal with and very flexible. The venue is beautiful and just perfect for our large wedding reception (350+ guests). We had two local food trucks for the event and they were perfect for the setting. My only disappointment was that the ice machine in the kitchen was not working and St. Francis was not willing to have it repaired before the reception. We made due with coolers, but it was not ideal. Otherwise, I would definitely recommend Hope Pavilion for any casual, laid back event.

A great, low-cost option for a semi-outdoor venue in Northeast Florida. Perfect for those unpredictably rainy days!

Recently, I conducted a styled wedding photo shoot at Hope Pavilion and had the best experience! Terri and all the Hope Pavilion staff are amazing and so easy to work with! They were very accommodating to all our needs! The venue is AMAZING! They provide an updated bridal suite that is elegant and spacious! They also offer a fantastic kitchen that will be greatly appreciated by your caterer! The pavilion itself is wonderful for any amount of guests you have! During our photo shoot we were amazed by the cool breeze pushing through the pavilion - it was 90 degrees out and under the pavilion it felt like a nice spring day (very important for outdoor Florida weddings!!) I can't leave out all the photo opportunities, either! The entire property is full of greenery, rustic structures, a gorgeous garden and more - perfect for any style wedding! If you're looking for an outdoor wedding venue consider Hope Pavilion. It is at the top of my preferred venues I recommend to my brides!

Hope Pavillion is an open air venue with a gorgeous natural landscape! It is like a blank canvas ready to bring your visions to life. I was blessed to set up the first wedding here and it turned out amazing. Terri, the venue coordinator was a pleasure to work with, and very accommodating.
