What is the story behind The Venue Hastings?

The Venue Hastings, set inside a beautifully restored 1927 Stanton Ford building just a short drive from historic St. Augustine, blends nearly a century of history with timeless elegance and modern amenities to create a wedding experience unlike anything else in Hastings, Florida, and beyond. It is anything but ordinary. We proudly welcome couples from St. Augustine, Jacksonville, Palatka, Palm Coast, Daytona, Gainesville, Orlando, Tampa, and across North and Central Florida, as well as destination couples looking for a St. Augustine-area celebration.

Couples fall in love with our soaring exposed wood and steel ceilings, original architectural details, expansive open floor plan, romantic draping and lighting, and one-of-a-kind vintage touches. Our spacious main gallery provides a stunning blank canvas for 350+ guests that can transform from an intimate candlelit celebration to an elegant grand reception—allowing every couple to make the space truly their own.

We believe the wedding day should be an experience from beginning to end. Separate, beautifully designed bridal and groom’s suites give each wedding party a private place to relax and prepare, while our versatile reception spaces, lounge areas, bar, dance floor, and countless photo opportunities allow the entire celebration to unfold under one roof.

What makes The Venue most special is the balance between historic character and limitless possibility. Rather than asking couples to fit their wedding into a predetermined look, we provide an extraordinary backdrop and the flexibility to bring their own vision to life.

Venue-Only or All-Inclusive: Choose from venue-only or all-inclusive packages with catering, bar, planning, rentals, and more, so you can bring in your own vendors or let us take care of the details.

Off-Peak & Weekday Savings: We offer special pricing for off-peak season and weekday weddings. Ask us about our current off-peak and weekday deals!

Check Your Date: Dates fill quickly! Message us to check calendar availability for your wedding date and to schedule a private tour.

At The Venue – Hastings, you aren't simply renting a room for the day. You're becoming part of the next chapter of a place with a story nearly 100 years in the making—and creating a little history of your own.

An Extraordinary Venue with Heart and History

I have had the pleasure of attending and photographing several events at The Venue and each time, I am left with a renewed awe and appreciation for this elevated space. It is spacious, versatile and did not left a detail untouched. The thoughtfulness in the restoration shines throughout. The magnitude and size alone is a rare gem in NE FL. For weddings - the inclusion of exquisite bride AND groom suites is a tremendous touch. The 360 bar is iconic! And the archways and woodwork are a photographers dream.

Beyond the beauty and functionality of the space are the phenomenal people behind it. You will not find a more caring, hard working and genuinely authentic bunch of people who TRULY care about the clients and the space. Anything at The Venue is in THE best hands, and will wow guests with a state of the art destination that preserves a historic legacy. I look forward to any opportunity to attend something at this epic Venue!!
