    Made our elopement magical in every way

    We held our elopement in the gazebo outside the Bayfront Marin. We selected it for the location and the all-inclusive package which made everything so easy. We worked with Susie Hammontree who was amazing in every way. She was responsive and professional. She helped us set up the gazebo the morning of and made the decorations look wonderful. She also helped me get my dress all buttoned up and was like my own personal hype woman. She recommended and arranged for our officiant, Rae Hughes. Rae exceeded all our expectations and crafted a ceremony that was perfect for us. As a bnb, the Bayfront Marin is a wonderful place to stay. We stayed in the King George suite, which was comfortable, spacious, and beautiful for pre-ceremony photos. I would do it all again in a heartbeat.

    Absolutely Beautiful

    We stayed at this Inn and had our ceremony right outside the room we were staying in. Marina was so helpful with everything that I needed. She answered all of my questions throughout the whole process and made sure I was comfortable with everything. The room was lovely and so are the grounds. Everyone is so nice and considerate there. Marina helps take care of everything from the flowers to the cake to the officiant and everything in between. It is literally a “One Stop Shop” when it comes to their wedding packages there. We wanted something small and quaint and that is exactly what we got. And the area is amazing for pictures, both on the grounds as well as across the street by the Bay. Rae was our Officiant for the ceremony and she was absolutely lovely to work with. She took care of my flowers as well and went above and beyond with them! We loved every moment there!

    Thank you so much for your kind review Sandi! I loved being part of your day and seeing your vision come to life :-) Best Wishes for a lifetime of happiness for you and Adam!

    Absolutely amazing

    Marina and the Bayfront Marin House was absolutely amazing!!! We wanted a simple yet meaningful ceremony and my gift certainly isn’t planning. Marina was so responsive, took care of every detail and took the initiative to keep me in the loop and make sure everything was taken care of. I loved our whole experience so much and could not recommend Marina and the Bayfront Marin Inn enough for a destination wedding!!!

    Bayfront Marin House Inn's reply:

    Thank you so much for your sweet review Kim! I loved being a part of your special day and will always remember your adorable pups! We hope you will come back and see us on your anniversary :-)

    Perfect Getaway

    My husband and I decided with COVID it wasn't safe to have a normal wedding as we originally planned and decided to elope instead with just the two of us. We trusted the Marin House with every detail, all we did was answer a few questions and get dressed. They took care of everything and our ceremony was nothing but perfect. We ended up staying two nights in the Josephine Wedding Suite and enjoyed the view and the care we received from the staff. I can't thank everyone enough for such a beautiful experience.

    Bayfront Marin House Inn's reply:

    Thanks so much for your kind review Jessica! You two were so easy to work with and your wedding was such fun. I'm so glad to hear that you enjoyed it--we look foward to seeing you again on your Anniversary!

    Perfect elopement!

    We did the elopement package here and it exceeded our expectations! They really made our elopement (no guests) feel really special. We got married in the courtyard of the Sanchez House which was beautiful and also very private. Marina was easy to communicate with and very helpful. I highly recommend using the discount in-house florist, Rae. I cannot believe how she went above and beyond my vision; the florals were absolutely amazing. Rae was also my officiant and performed a lovely ceremony. The cake was delicious (we chose white cake with chocolate mousse filling). Marina packed up the cake at the end of the ceremony and put the decorative flowers in our room which allowed us to best use our time with our photographer. It really was a perfect experience and we couldn't be happier. (Photos by Karmathartic)

    Thank you so much for sharing your experience...and for having your ceremony with us! It was an absolute pleasure to be a part of your special day--you were the most stunning bride! :-)

    If you are looking for the intimate wedding of your dreams you've found it!

    I can't say enough positive things about Bayfront Marin House and their wedding coordinator Marina Lee. The beach wedding package was the most flexible I found and allowed me to have the wedding exactly the way I had imagined - from the ceremony to the accommodations. The vendor's Mariana recommended (not required) for photography, cake, hair, makeup, flowers, dinner & carriage ride couldn't have been more perfect and best of all Marina made all of the reservations on my behalf so I was able to enjoy every moment. All of the vendors were kind and accommodating which made our wedding day perfect. Thank you Marina Lee!

    Bayfront Marin House Inn's reply:

    Thanks so much for your kind review Renee! You two were such a joy to work with and it was an absolute honor to be a part of your special day. I hope to see you in the future on a return Anniversary trip!

    Wedding venue and accomodations

    The Bayfront in St Augustine was the site of the recent rescheduled small wedding for our daughter. Family members were all planning to stay there, but with an unexpected devastating death in the family, the wedding was also held there. Marina coordinated a wedding in short notice that was above expectations in all areas, including a small reception. Every agreed it was beautiful. The entire experience at the inn would be rated a 10 if there was such a thing. The breakfast and happy hour food was fantastic, the staff was wonderful, helpful, and went above and beyond! The view and location is perfect , as are the gathering areas, while allowing for social distancing. All family members say they will be back as often as possible!

    Bayfront Marin House Inn's reply:

    Thank you for posting such a sweet review--we loved working with your group and would give you all a 10, too! Hope to see you all again next year!

    Perfect Wedding

    Bayfront Marin House made our wedding day worry-free and perfect! Everything was handled for us from the ceremony to the flowers to the celebration afterwards, we just had to show up. They were flexible with our requests and happy to work with us. We were so happy to find such a beautiful and inclusive wedding venue and place to stay! We will definitely be making this an anniversary spot to revisit time and again!

    Elopement turned wedding ceremony

    My fiancé now husband and I planned quick nuptials.. since we’ve been together for 20 years and didn’t want any real bells and whistles.. well long story short I told my mother I was getting eloped and she said she was coming and bring the family!!! Bayfront Marin house rose to the occasion after originally having planned a tiny event they were able to completely revamp their plans in a matter of days. Even when I had last minute requests like a barbecue grill and a drunken wedding cake (yeah they do that too), they made everything happen! They are the absolute best.. I wish I could get married at Bayfront Marin house once a year

    Wonderful place to stay and get married at!

    Marina, the wedding coordinator at the Bayfront Marin House was spectacular in organizing everything from the first day we contacted her. They had great wedding packages especially for small weddings of less than 10 people which was what we were looking for. For the few things they did not include in their packages they had a great vendor list. Everyone we chose from their list was also amazing. The Inn itself was beautiful and all our wedding guests raved about how comfortable and nice their rooms were and how good the food was. The staff was wonderful and on the day of the wedding they pulled everything off effortlessly despite some last minute COVID complications and a thunderstorm that came through and hour and a half before the ceremony was due to start. They were all so nice, caring, and professional, I highly recommend them whether you are just looking for a place to stay on your vacation or a venue for your wedding.

    Romantic and Intimate Wedding at the Bayfront Marin House

    Absolutely incredible place to have our wedding! We felt right at home from the moment we checked in. The service and staff at Bayfront Marin House are second to none! We actually planned to honeymoon in Jacksonville and after checking into our room in Jacksonville Beach and being totally dissatisfied I called Marina the events coordinator at Bayfront who helped us plan our wedding and asked if we could please get a stay at their beachfront property. She got us a room and we drove straight there to celebrate our honeymoon for the weekend. The Bayfront property is incredible, and we had another incredible experience at their beachfront location. Clean,kind,AMAZING breakfast and the BEST views at both properties. The best of both worlds. No regrets! If you are considering a stay with these lovely folks don’t hesitate! Thank you for everything Marina and staff, you made our small wedding dreams come true.

    Wedding Night Stay

    Bayfront Marin House Inn is such a beautiful place, we stayed here for 3 nights including our wedding night. Our room was gorgeous with a private balcony overlooking the bay, a jacuzzi, canopy bed and fireplace. They left chocolate truffles for us with a congratulatory note and the staff members were so friendly and helpful throughout our stay. The breakfast was delicious along with the happy hour treats every afternoon. We can't wait to return for our anniversary!

    My husband and I can't say enough great things about Bayfront Marin House as a wedding venue. Marina Lee, our wedding coordinator from Bayfront Marin, was absolutely wonderful. She made wedding planning so easy by recommending and coordinating with the best vendors in St. Augustine (restaurants, hair & makeup artists, florists, photographers, carriage drivers) - all for a very reasonable price. Her expertise helped make our special day PERFECT. Additionally, my husband and our family stayed at the Bayfront Marin House for 3 days and nights and experienced such a pleasant, professional service from B&B staff. Our rooms were clean, beautiful and modern with spectacular views of the Matanzas river. And the breakfasts were so diverse and delicious!! If we had it to do again, we wouldn't change one single thing. Our wedding day was perfect. Thank you Marina and Bayfront Marin House! - Cecily & Kyle

    We were coming from the Orlando area for a destination wedding in St. Augustine. We booked five rooms at the Bayfront Marin House Inn. Each room is decorated in a unique style, which everyone liked. The staff was friendly and very professional. Breakfast was gourmet, and the happy hour food and drinks were delicious. The view is spectacular.
    I would love to to stay there again, and would highly recommend Bayfront Marin House Inn.

    Best place we have stayed in St. Augustine thus far. Rooms were nice, clean, staff very friendly and breakfast was awesome. The best part…they are pet friendly!! They love the fur babies. We will stay again and likely stay every time we are in St. Augustine from here on out.
    We booked a room for my parents for our wedding January 14, 2017, then we booked a room for the Groom for 1 night and luckily were able to book another room that following day for all the guys to get ready in prior to all the wedding festivities. I do not have one single complaint about this place.
