The Club Continental Reviews

We booked our daughter's recent wedding at Club Continental. My family and I are so pleased with their helpfulness and care both on the wdding day and leading up to the wedding. Carla always made sure that we felt comfortable and had our questions answered. She was very responsive. Not only did our daughter's wedding day go beautifully with help from Dale, but the staff's attitudes were flexible and accomodating as we had to work around some rough weather! We got so many compliments from our guests on the beauty of the venue and the great tasting food. The bar made sure that our guests were served quickly during cocktail hour and the food service was smooth all around. We look forward to going back and were so happy that the wedding day was just as we had hoped!

This venue fit our vibe and overall theme. We didn't have to decorate much due to the beauty of the venue. Carla was able to answer all my questions and ensured we were ready for the big day! The staff was wonderful all around!

The property was perfect and beautiful. The staff was above attentive, and so professional and kind. They ensured everyone was comfortable and that my husband and I got to eat first was very kind. They even sent food with us which was nice because we never at lol. The event staff is very professional and the food and beverage manager is very professional . Mrs. Carla, the events manager, is very attentive and helpful. Would highly recommend this property to everyone!!!

I cannot say enough good things about this venue- they were wonderful! My husband and I booked this venue about 1.5 years in advance due to the uncertainty of the the COVID-19 pandemic, and we are so glad we did! Carla (Venue Coordinator) answered every single question I had with kindness, patience and professionalism- she is amazing and we are so grateful for her help! The staff were amazing and professional from start to finish. All of my wedding guests raved about the food and the view was incredible! Thank you so much Club Continental for making all of my wedding dreams come true!

This beautiful riverside Manson was a dream come true location for our wedding. The natural beauty of the river, oak trees, and spanish moss are so romantic. And the house! Our photos came out beautifully in every location outside and in. Club Continental offered so much other than just being a venue. We loved that they had different catering and bar packages to fit our budget. Everyone loved the food and the open bar (of course!). Being able to dance it up with my loved ones in the Fireplace Room and then waltze outside to the back lawn over looking the river with my pink champagne to chat and laugh with family and friends when I got too hot was ideal and a memory I will cherish forever. We would definitely recommend booking a room too! The night before so you can get ready there in the morning and the night of so you don't need to go anywhere after all that celebrating.

On our tour we knew this was the place for my daughter to get married. The outside grounds and views are absolutely breathtaking. Club Continental is timeless and has an old world charm. Carla and the staff there are amazing. The bridal suites are roomy for any wedding party to get ready in. I knew we were on a budget and a couple of things we did not want to sacrifice on was venue and food. Club Continental does not disappoint on either. Before deciding on a menu, they had a luncheon to sample what they have to offer. As a December wedding the Club already had their Christmas decorations up and it just made it that much more perfect. The ambience was magical. Plenty of space for dance floor , DJ, photo booth and much more. I highly recommend Club Continental for any wedding and reception. Club Continental made my daughter's wedding day the perfect day!

The Club Continental will always hold a special place in my heart! After getting engaged I spent hours looking online for the perfect venue before finding The Club. I immediately fell in love and when I saw it in person I immediately knew it was the one.

Little did we know after booking it that a pandemic would hit three weeks before our special date. Wedding vendors and brides alike both had an extremely challenging year, to say the least! As a #CovidBride I'm extremely thankful for vendors like Carla and her team at The Club. They were flexible, supportive and professional the entire way through. At one point I thought we were going to have to cancel the ceremony, however we reduced our attendance and went ahead with the big day a few months later! I'm SO thankful we pushed through because it ended up being absolutely perfect. The venue was magical and we look forward to returning in years to come on our anniversary. Thank you Carla for helping us through a difficult year and helpings us plan a day in our lives that we will cherish forever!

Our wedding was absolutely perfection! All the details came together perfectly! But our actual venue was the main reason in my opinion that everything looked so gorgeous! If you are going for a romantic, vintage vibe then you really can’t go wrong with club continental. Our entire experience from booking with Carla to the actual wedding was absolutely wonderful! I had my dream wedding and I give a huge thanks to club continental for that! I fell in love from our first visit and so glad we did book!

This venue is amazing. We hired RSVP with Me for decorations and the whole place just became so magical. They were very helpful and made sure everything went smoothly. Kim is very lovely and gave us a huge discount for decorations and even served as the wedding's coordinator just to help us.

When picking a venue for our wedding, we knew right away that The Club Continental on the St. John’s was the perfect place! The ceremony area was absolutely breath taking! The design and layout of the mansion, the staff personal were absolutely wonderful. Dale was the manager on duty the day of our wedding and he did a fantastic job along with all venue staff. They were very pleasant the entire time, and we had a great bartender named Fred. The bathrooms were a good size and the food was great! We loved everything about it over all. ***I have to give a lot of credit towards Carla (Event Coordinator @ The Club Continental). She really helped me out with guidance at the beginning of me planning my wedding. She’s such a wonderful, loving person and very professional!!

This venue is stunning and exquisite.

It’s not enough words to describe the scenery and view you get from Club Continental. Carla and staff went over and beyond to make our wedding day our best night ever. Carla will set an appointment with you, go over guest count, financial advise, decoration advise, and things you may think aren’t important. She was there to help us save which in return helped us tremendously. The venue is a pretty penny but the memories you’ll make are priceless. Cost of venue depends on the wedding count tbh

We booked The Club Continental because of its gorgeous view of the river and the vintage romantic vibe of the mansion. Carla was super helpful and flexible with us in figuring out the menu, bar menu, and decor. Day of manager, I believe his name was Dale, the nicest and helpful man. He helped my mom set up decor and clean up, he kept us on time and packed us the ultimate bread basket of food at the end of the night. My husband and I both look back and remember our night as the happiest day, we have no negative moments at all when it comes to this venue and the staff.

We loved our wedding at the Club Continental! We live about 2 hours away from the Club, and knew it would be a challenge to plan things from afar, but after touring the venue in person, we were smitten and decided it would be worth the extra effort. The venue coordinator, Carla, is awesome and so responsive. She made the whole experience so much easier, and I knew going into our wedding day that every little detail we'd discussed would be covered.

On the actual wedding day, we, along with our families, got ready in some of the onsite rooms/suites. It was wonderful to just wake up, go down to a delicious hot breakfast, and then pop back upstairs to write my vows while overlooking our ceremony site. It was a great way to just relax and get in the right mindset, and it kept our timeline a bit more relaxed as well since everyone was coming to and setting up at the same site. The ceremony spot overlooking the water was just gorgeous, with several plants already blooming along the perimeter. We didn't decorate the naturally beautiful ceremony site at all, save for a few reserved seating signs and some ceremony props, and it turned out wonderfully. The staff was wonderful to us all night, and our onsite manager checked in frequently to see if we were happy and if we needed anything else along the way. The reception in the Garden Room was even prettier than I could have hoped for. It was the perfect room size for our small guest list. The passed hors d'oeuvres during cocktail hour and the dinner itself were both hits. My husband and I felt well taken care of. We'd missed out on cocktail hour apps while we were taking photos, and the staff brought us two of each app to enjoy with dinner. They also packed up "bridal boxes" with a little bit of everything from our dinner buffet, which we enjoyed the next day after checking into our honeymoon hotel. They really took care of us from beginning to end! Would highly recommend this gorgeous little spot for weddings big or small.

The Club Continental was gorgeous! It was very well priced and Carla was very helpful. I would recommend The Club Continental to anybody!

Beautiful location and excellent staff- will definitely go back for our Anniversary!!

There's a reason why Club Continental is so highly rated; they are pros at what they do. My recent wedding there was absolutely perfect. Carla, the Club's wedding coordinator, was wonderful and quickly responded to any inquiry I had. On the day of the wedding, the staff was friendly, accommodating and professional. Several guests said the food was the best they had at any wedding. Also, the out of town guests who stayed at the Club loved the rooms and the service. My husband and I never second guessed our choice about having our wedding there and the Club did not dissapoint!

Carla was wonderful to plan with, the staff was super friendly and helpful. My guests enjoyed the food and drinks which was very important to us when planning an event. The location was beautiful and intimate for an outside wedding.

The venue is beautiful. There is space in case of rain where the ceremony can take place inside. Enough parking to accommodate guests. The food was great. The staff very professional and accommodating from the planning stages through the ceremony and reception. My noon wedding was wonderful. It's a month later and our guests are still talking about our wedding. This is a hotel so it would be best if the bride stays the night prior to her ceremony. I enjoyed standing on the balcony overlooking the ceremony area watching the setup. The views are magical. Love love love this place.

We absolutely loved this venue for our ceremony and reception. Our day could not have been more perfect. We checked out a few venues in Jacksonville and the St. Augustine area but this one was be far the most beautiful. It was historic and the location on the river was stunning! We were married on May 17th and although a little windy, the weather was amazing! My bridesmaids and I stayed in the Mediterranean Suite the night before so we could get ready and my fiance and I stayed it after our wedding. We were very happy with the rooms and were so glad that we booked them!
Carla helped us from day 1 and was always available whenever we had questions. She really made us feel special even during our planning phase. I would highly recommend this venue to any couple! :)

Carla and the staff are amazing and are there every step of the way to ensure that the wedding of your dreams comes true! My husband and I fell in love with the venue that moment that we drove up and knew that we didn't want to look at any other location. This same thought was echoed by all of our guests at the wedding. Planning a wedding from a different state can be hard at times but Carla made sure that no matter the time or day that we had questions she answered them as soon as possible.

I had my wedding here in July, and I absolutely loved it!!!! I could have not been more pleased with how everything came out. Carla was absolutely wonderful in setting everything up for us and we couldn't be more thankful! The room we were staying for the night was absolutely amazing as well. The view, the customer service, the food,everything was wonderful! I can't wait to go back ! :)

Carla was fantastic! As well as her team!!! Jacob was the best event manager in the business! I would recommend this venue 100%! We had to book a new venue with 28 days until our wedding (emergency reason) and they accomodated us to the MAX! It was a gorgeous lay out and everyone was so lovely and friendly! I LOVE this venue and so did everyone who came! We have family and friends still raving about how amazing out wedding was thanks to the club continental! :)

This venue was perfect. I loved that we stayed there the night before the wedding and the night after they were very accomidating and the old maid's chanmbers rocked for the newleywed suite. the kitchen was awesome for entertaining the night before the wedding with all the girls. As a cake decorator I wanted to do my own cake so ruff iced it then finished it in the room with all my girls watching bridesmids on the TV. THe next morning I took my time bath and dressed in this room and looked out over the venue to see the guests file in. THe food was great and u can't beat the views for pictures

The Club Continental was a magical place to have a wedding. With everything from the character and ambiance of the venue to the professionalism and helpfulness of Carla Sparks the Event Coordinator, my wedding was even more special than I could have imagined.

The food was absolutely perfect and to die for! With everything from the primed rib cubes during cocktail hour to the filet mignon my husband and I had for our dinner, the food was impeccable.
