ok I'll start with the most important thing - there is an approved vendors list. There might be a little flexibility with the photographers, DJs, and transportation, BUT I would run those by Angie to make sure you can hire them. However, this info is provided to you before you sign the contract. If you are willing to be limited to your vendor choices (which I should mention makes your job easier, because you have a list of vendors, contact them, pick your fave ones and you're done.... and all the vendors on the list are amazing so you won't miss out) you'll be ok. I feel like people that complain are the ones who just ignore the list and start hiring their vendors.... but that's on them... One more thing to mention (which is pretty obvious) is that the venue is outdoors, so you have to reserve a tent just in case it rains.
Now back to my review and my experience with Angie (wedding coordinator) and the venue (both ceremony and reception were held at the Lllambias house). Angie is absolutely amazing. I have no idea what I would do without her. She was very prompt with emails, extremely friendly, professional, and willing to help out with anything you ask her for. She guided us through the process during the rehearsal, helped with the set up before the wedding, coordinated everything during, set up our cake on the well, and helped with the clean up. What else can you ask for? Also, our tent rental company set up the wrong tent (old and dirty) the day before the wedding. She called me and made sure I was aware and didn't freak out once got to the rehearsal. Then, I didn't have to do anything - she called the rental co for me and arranged everything to be changed. Tent was replaced the next morning without me having to call anyone. I can't thank her enough for everything she's done.
as for the llambias house - I wouldn't have my wedding anywhere else - it's gorgeous!

Angie was absolutely phenomenal!!! Every question we had she answered right away (which was a lot) and she never got annoyed with us! She helped out so much during the actual wedding I can't believe that some people waste money on wedding coordinators when they have weddings at the Oldest House. She was especially helpful with my large family and very understanding that we needed to cut corners where possible to save money. The only stressful thing is there is no back up space if it rains (which thankfully was not a problem for us) so keep that in mind when booking this site, which you totally should!!

My husband and I had our ceremony at the Llambias House in St. Augustine, FL on March 1, 2014. Let me just start off by saying that the SAHS was not easy to work with but Angie - the coordinator and the one whom you primarily communicate with- was absolutely phenomenal!! She was so so sweet and accommodating. Whenever we wanted to visit Llambias House, she would meet us. If we were running late, she would wait for us. She kept the grounds of Llambias House immaculate! During our rehearsal, she had great tips for the order of the ceremony. She thought of things I didn't even think of like the width of the aisle because I was having both my mom and dad walk me down. On the day of, she made sure everything ran on time and had everyone where they needed to be. The Llambias House itself is an amazingly beautiful venue! The pictures online don't do it justice. Our guests, videographer and photographers were gushing over it!! We loved working with Angie, we loved Llambias House and would recommend it to anyone!

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.
