    WOW. Awesome place! Very beautiful! Jeff the manager was so helpful and gave expert advice on anything I needed. Friday Musicale holds a special place in my heart. Dancing with my bride was so special on that dance floor. If Jeff gives you some advice take it!!. He is one of the awesome factors of Friday Musicale.

    -Sincerely the Dandrea Family

    Thank you so much for your great review. It was a joy to work with both of you. I loved being able to meet your family and be a part of your big day. Your Wedding Reception was so fun - a perfect reflection of both of your personalities. Congratulation on your Marriage!

    A beautiful spot with folks who are easy to work with!

    We had our Happily Ever After Party at Friday Musicale and it was fantastic! Jeff and Emily accommodated our every want and had great ideas as well. They provide a lot of flexibility so you can make it your own unique event. They also worked closely with our vendors (who we got to choose!). It was perfect and looking forward to being a member of this venue that does great work in Jacksonville.

    Friday Musicale's reply:

    Thank you so much for your great review and kind words. We enjoyed working with you. Hope we can help plan some other events in the future.

    Great space!!

    I love this all in one venue. This was perfect for my intimate wedding for my family and friends. Mr. Jeff and Cece were amazing and were very helpful. It also is a great place for pictures. My photographer had so many ideas from this space that she bought to life!

    Friday Musicale's reply:

    Thank you so much for your kind words. We appreciate you hosting your event with us. Hope to see you again soon.

    An Amazing Wedding Day

    Jeff and CeeCee were absolutely amazing in helping me coordinate my wedding. Jeff was amazing and answering all of my questions from the beginning all the way to the end. Jeff was also very helpful by providing me with affordable catering, decoration, and other vendor contacts. Jeff assisted me with creating the seating arrangements and had the hall set up the night before. I couldn’t have asked for a more affordable wedding venue. Jeff even accommodated the small budget that I had for the wedding. All in all I had a great experience with Friday musicale, and if you are debating on choosing this venue I would say go for it. CeeCee was also the event manager the weekend of the wedding and she helped me get all of the last minute items needed for the wedding without having to go to the store (she’s heaven sent).

    Friday Musicale's reply:

    Thank you so much for your kind words. So happy everything worked out great! Hope to see you at Friday Musicale again soon.

    BEAUTIFUL Venue. Made everything Easy. Helped us out of a pinch

    I know that's a long title, but I promise it could have been longer. Friday Musicale was amazing. They were so responsive and quick to help us. They helped us think through things that we probably would have missed/overlooked had they not been there to help us. When our decorator/florist backed out at the last second they were quick to recommend quality professionals to help. And of course, the venue was BEAUTIFUL. I had the best wedding ever there.

    Simply Amazing

    The staff Jeff and Mrs CC at Friday musicale went above and beyond to make sure our day was amazing! The venue was clean and perfect for our guests and if i had to do it all over again Friday musicale would be number one on the list all over again. Highly recommend!

    Friday Musicale's reply:

    Congrats! Thank you so much for the kind words. We are thrilled that you had such a great time. You did an amazing job with your overall theme. Thanks!

    Excellent experience

    Friday Musical was perfect for my wedding. They were very professional and helpful for my event. This place is beautiful for weddings. The area is in the trendy riverside area. It's very nice and quiet. Plenty of restaurants and parks near by. I never met a venue that gives you advice for your wedding and help you the day of. It's like having an mini coordinator. They helped us until the day of my wedding. I am very hard to please and I highly recommend this place.

    Thank you for your review! We are so excited that you had a great overall experience. See you again soon!

    The Perfect Wedding

    We fell in love with Friday Musicale from the first time we met with the Venue Director, Jeff Tawney. I was so nervous at my first appointment because my fiancé was still overseas. (Military) Jeff was so nice - took his time - answered all of my questions - gave me suggestions and recommendations. He even took the time to let me Facetime with my fiancé. While we were on Facetime, Jeff told us how they were non profit and the music connection for kids. This pulled at our heartstrings for sure. My fiancé dreams of being a music teacher someday. After the appointment, we talked about it and both agreed that Friday Musicale was the perfect place for our wedding. Jeff Tawney had so much to do with our choice. Our Wedding Day as Perfect! I would highly suggest Friday Musicale for any type of an event.

    Friday Musicale's reply:

    Thank you so much for the kind words Janice! I am so glad your wedding was in early March. Perfect timing since the World Stop Spinning in the right direction soon after that. Glad to hear from you! Be safe! Stay Healthy!

    Easy Going

    This was an excellent venue. Jeff was easy to work with and provided a lot of good pointers for enjoying set up etc. The day of event staff Ashley (I think that's her name) was very helpful and volunteered to help set up and breakdown., which was so unexpected. The venue is gorgeous and allows you to bring your own vendors which is a perk!

    Wonderful!

    We had our daughter’s wedding and reception with Friday Musicale. (My youngest son & his wife had their wedding reception here 10 years ago - we loved it!).
    The staff was so accommodating, friendly and professional.
    On a side note - my youngest Granddaughter recognized the hall from a field trip she had taken a couple of years prior - she loved it!!!

    Amazing venue and service!

    Fantastic and beautiful venue! We had constant and clear communication about prices, expectations and timelines. Friday Musicale supplied us with everything we could have asked for and gave us suggestions for things that they couldn't supply us. Jeff was a godsend. Planning a wedding during a pandemic is hard enough but without Jeff we could not have achieved it . BRILLIANT JOB

    Friday Musicale's reply:

    Thank you so much for the kind words. I really enjoyed working with you and am so glad everything came off so well. You did a great job with the overall theme. Wishing you both a happy future together! Jeff Tawney / Venue Director

    Great Venue!

    We had our wedding here - ceremony in L'Engle Hall and the reception in the BEAUTIFUL auditorium. Every employee I came in contact with was lovely and easy to work with. Jeff was awesome, knowledgeable and very flexible with some last minute changes that were made. Pictures don't do the auditorium justice - you don't need a lot of decoration because it is so beautiful and elegant on it's own. I would share better pictures but I don't have any others back yet.

    Jeff was wonderful to work with. From his flexibility in allowing me to drop by with friends, family, and vendors to his helpfulness in making suggestions for day of details he was always willing to go above and beyond to ensure my perfect wedding! Jeff also has great responsiveness- he was usually back to me within a few hours of any questions I may have had.

    Friday Musicale's reply:

    Thank you so much for your kind words and support of Friday Musicale. I really enjoyed working with you on planning your big day. You made sure everything was perfect for sure, right down to the final details. Your guests were blown away and had a great time. Again, thank you for hosting your Wedding at Friday Musicale.
