The Carriage House is a beautiful barn wedding venue in Saint Augustine, Florida that features an enchanting walkthrough garden for an outdoor ceremony and cocktail hour. It is in a prime location for downtown St. Augustine—close enough for after-parties but far enough to have our own convenient parking lot (a rarity in St. Augustine).

This 2000-square-foot, climate-controlled barn offers a cozy and romantic setting. The large barn opens up to exposed beams, farmhouse tables, stringed market lights, and a carriage-wheel chandelier. We love the barn's ability to perfectly transform itself for a rustic celebration or an elegant, more formal affair.

The venue has undergone extensive renovations and was previously known as "The Pioneer Barn at Fort Menendez " until 2018.

Nothing less than spectacular!

The Carriage House was more than just a venue that hosted our 96 guest wedding reception. It was a magical place where our family and friends were able to join us in what can only be described as a dream evening! Erin, Amanda and the whole team of people they have are amazing and make the whole process so easy! From the vendor recommendations to reminders of things you just may forget they made the whole night stress free for myself and my new husband. We spent the entire night living our dream and they took care of it all! I would highly recommend The Carriage House for any type of function! Thank you again Erin, Amanda and the whole team! You made our night a dream come true!!!

The Baker Barn Wedding


The Carriage House was our dream venue for our wedding. Since I was a little girl I dreamed of a barn wedding. Erin and her team brought my dream to life. From the tour of the facility and the multiple package options I was able to make the Carriage House venue exactly what I dreamed of for my wedding. The planning process was made so easy not only by the wedding package we chose having many tedious wedding tasks handled for us, but also using the resources Erin and her team already have vetted for us. Any ideas or requests I made of the venue were met with acceptance and eagerness by the venue staff to make it happen and bring us our dream wedding. From the outdoor garden wedding to the spacious barn brought to life with a casual reception vibe. We loved every moment of our wedding at the Carriage House and appreciate how hard the venue team worked to make our dreams come true.

Choosing the Pioneer Barn for our wedding venue was easy once we spoke with Gail. She was professional and helpful from start to finish. I live in Salt Lake City and my husband lives in southern GA so we were not able to spend much time in the area prior to our big day. She was able to answer all of our questions, make suggestions, describe things that had worked for previous ceremonies, etc. The barn was beautiful and clean, and seeing the 360 degree shots on the website was super helpful. The location was very easy for guests to find and there was plenty of parking for all. I especially loved that the barn was air conditioned.
Gail also was able to recommend a DJ, and florist that know the venue and take great care of their clients. They were awesome. I did not step foot into the venue until 5 minutes before the ceremony (crazy, I know) but I was confident that things would be lovely and they absolutely were. Gail was on-hand before to direct vendors and set-up; during the ceremony putting last touches on things inside (we used the porch for our ceremony to take advantage of the setting sunlight); and she stayed in the background helping during the reception and to the very end, picking up any stray items that had fallen, ensuring the photographers knew where they could get the best shots, doing everything she could to be helpful. Every venue should have a Gail, and the Pioneer Barn was the perfect setting for our ceremony and reception. Thank you so much for everything!!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
