Marie is amazing and so is this location!

Our guests were blown away by this venue - we decided to do most of our event outdoors, and Marie (manager) was so accommodating to setup the tables inside and outside just as we asked. Tables and chairs, beautiful wooden bar, bridal rooms and groomsman rooms are provided and perfect for what we needed. So many beautiful spots for pictures around the property! And the building looks gorgeous day and night. I can’t say enough about how great Marie was to work with - she has a wonderful personality. She let us bring our decor up a day or two early which was a huge help.

Perfect Setting for your Big Day!

I have been lucky enough to DJ and MC for a few weddings at this incredible historic venue. I have also attended several weddings there as guest. I DJ-ed there again this past Saturday and it was a truly magical night. The venue features a number of great indoor and outdoor areas for dancing, eating, cocktail, etc. The dining hall is gorgeous with ample seating for groups large and small. The trees and nearby marsh are a photographic goldmine for capturing lifelong memories on film. The staff are a pleasure to deal with. Huge kudos to Summer, one of their in-house planners, for making sure my most recent event was nothing short of perfect.

I could go on but rest assured that Ribault Club is truly a premier wedding and event venue in Northeast Florida!

Timeless and Classic

From when I first stumbled across photos of The Ribault Club, I knew this was where I wanted to have our wedding. Guests could not stop raving about how perfect and how unique of a setting it is! The areas for getting ready were perfect for my bridal party, and the groomsmen even had their own space with a bar to get ready in. Marie was great in assisting my husband and I with all of our logistics and was there throughout our wedding day to ensure everything was how it needed to be! My husband and I cannot recommend The Ribault Club enough!

Outstanding!

My husband and I fell in love with the Ribault Club's historic Old Florida charm the moment we checked it out. From the old oaks draped in Spanish moss to the palms and the SPACE that this beautiful venue offers, we were never disappointed. The staff at the Ribault Club was just as amazing as the property itself and were easily one of the best vendors to work with. Marie, Madi, and Haley did an outstanding job of communicating, helping, and truly going above and beyond to make our day absolutely wonderful. Our guests are still commenting on what a magical night we had and how absolutely breathtaking our ceremony and reception were (both out back).

Want a Beautiful, Unique Wedding Venue? Go with The Ribault Club

We had our wedding at The Ribault Club on a Friday and it was even more perfect than we could have hoped. From our initial tour of the venue, it was love at first sight. We visited multiple times between that initial visit and our big day and were awe-struck by the natural beauty and the Old Florida feel of the estate every single time. The grand oak was the idyllic backdrop for our ceremony, and the ballroom was a lovely setting for our reception.

We were looking for a venue that was both affordable and gorgeous, and The Ribault Club fit the bill flawlessly. We loved being able to pick our own vendors (hello, taco bar!) and having enough space to dance the night away. They also provided all of our tables and chairs, which really helped us in keeping the cost and additional vendor involvement to a minimum.

The staff was always professional and warm to us. We mainly worked with Marie, Madi, and Deborah, who were all welcoming and accommodating. Emails and phone calls were always answered promptly. They were flexible with us and did their best to ensure our day went exactly as we pictured it.

And last but not least, our day-of coordinator, Summer, knocked it out of the park. We went with the in-house coordination and it was one of the best decisions we made. She was so attentive and ensured our special day ran smoothly from start to finish. Her knowledge of the venue and her experience in wedding coordination were apparent from day one. We could not have had such a perfect, stress-free experience without her, and we are beyond grateful for her and the whole Ribault Club staff.

If you’re considering The Ribault Club as your wedding venue, you can’t go wrong with them. The grounds alone guarantee a gorgeous wedding and their staff will make sure you have a beautiful, unique day!

Beautiful!

Years ago, I visited Ribault Club for a wedding and knew that was the venue I wanted to have my special day. It was the second venue my husband and I viewed together and he fell in love with it as well! Maddie was awesome to work with and flexible when we needed some additional tables the day of. Thank you to Ribault Club! I can't imagine our wedding taking place anywhere else!

A Great Venue

Although we didn't end up going with this vendor due to distance, the venue tour was amazing and the price was even better. We had the option of having our wedding ceremony in the back lawn under beautiful oak trees and then moving into one of their two dining rooms for the reception dinner. It was really a perfect venue with its classic look and beautiful riverfront views. I have recommended this facility to a friend who is currently looking for a venue.

My husband and I absolutely loved this venue for our wedding ceremony and reception! We knew right away that it was the place we wanted to get married at. We loved the big oak tree in the back, and we loved all the greenery outside, as well as the simplicity inside. It was exactly what we wanted and we couldn't have been happier! The staff was also really great and a big help!
