Maegan Sent on 02/06/2026A Dream Wedding at The Lightner Museum
Our wedding at The Lightner Museum was truly everything we dreamed of and more. From the moment we chose this venue, we knew it was special, but seeing it come to life on our wedding day was absolutely breathtaking. The architecture, the historic charm, the grand staircase, and the stunning ambiance created the most romantic and unforgettable setting. So many of our guests told us it was the best wedding they have ever attended and one of the most beautiful venues they have ever seen, and we couldn’t agree more.
Working with Ashley E., our event manager, was such a joy. She was incredibly professional, organized, and attentive, yet always warm and kind throughout the entire planning process. She made us feel supported every step of the way and handled every detail with such care and confidence. I always felt like we were in the best hands.
The Treasury Events team alongside Ashley executed everything flawlessly. From the flow of the evening to the small details that made the space feel magical, everything was seamless. They didn’t just host our wedding — they truly brought our vision to life.
If you are looking for a wedding venue that is timeless, elegant, and unforgettable, The Lightner Museum is unmatched. We are so grateful to Ashley and the entire team for making our dream wedding a reality.The Lightner Museum St. Augustine's reply:
Maegan,
I cannot thank you enough for your lovely review. Your wedding was truly one of a kind, and working with you and Najee was so wonderful.
We are so thrilled to hear your guests enjoyed themselves and loved the venue!
We wish you and Najee all of the best.

The Lightner is truly a magical place to get married, and the incredible team behind the weddings there ensures that every detail is flawlessly executed. Their professionalism, thoroughness, and responsiveness make all the difference in creating a seamless and stress-free experience.
As a bride planning my wedding from out of state, I couldn’t always be in Jacksonville, but their team kept everything on track effortlessly. Even when I switched wedding planners just three months before the big day, their team handled the transition with grace and expertise.
Thanks to Gianina and the entire Lightner team, our wedding was an absolute dream come true. If you're considering this venue, rest assured that your special day will be in the best hands!The Lightner Museum St. Augustine's reply:
Gaby and Matthew, Thank you so much for your kind words! It was an honor and a pleasure to be a part of your big day. We absolutely loved celebrating you both - your wedding day was absolutely gorgeous and so full of love.

Our Dream Wedding!
If you are considering The Lightner for your wedding, this is your sign to lock them in immediately! My husband and I fell in love with this special venue from the minute we laid eyes on it on wedding wire. It is so uniquely beautiful we had to see it in person.
We had very high hopes for this venue and team at the Lightner exceeded our wildest dreams. Not only is the museum stunning, but Katie and Brandy were true lifesavers. Our original wedding date was 10/11/24, the same weekend Hurricane Milton was due to hit Florida. We made the impossible decision to reschedule only days before and it would not have happened without the Lightner Team. Before I even got into town (driving from Tampa in a car filled with wedding goodies and my dog), Brandy and my planners had 90% of my vendors rescheduled for the new date.
They were so incredibly hands on working with our incredible coordinators at Coastal Celebrations (shout out to Lucy and her team) that everything went off without a hitch. They truly had everything outlined from start to finish and made sure it came together seamlessly. Katie was our main coordinator at the Lightner and was pleasure to work with from day one. We had so much fun a tour bar tasting!
I could gush on and on about this incredible place, but this really is your sign to get married at the Lightner. All of our friends and family who made it could not stop talking about the wedding of the year! 1000000/10 once in a lifetime wedding.The Lightner Museum St. Augustine's reply:
Wow, thank you Taylor for leaving us such an amazing review! You and Ryan were so amazing to work with, we appreciated you both staying so calm during the hurricane/reschedule and letting us help to make it as stress free as possible! Your wedding really turned out so beautifully and we loved being apart of every moment of it! Congratulations once again, Katie & The Lightner Team -

Lauren Sent on 08/05/2024Unbelievably magical wedding!
Our wedding was beyond what I could have imagined thanks to the Lightner Museum and the Treasury events team. From the very beginning, the team was friendly and helpful with the tour of the venue, and we loved it immediately. The venue is gorgeous, and the museum aesthetic added so much unique decor and history to our wedding. Throughout the planning process, they provided so many incredibly helpful resources, including vendor recommendations (very useful as we are not local to the area), schedule check lists, and reminders for deadlines. They also have a very active instagram page, posting frequently to their stories, which was wonderful for finding inspiration and vendors. I loved watching wedding recaps every weekend! They were also very professional, making sure plans were in place and working with our scedule to meet/ speak with us. One special detail we were thankful for: one of our friends owns a brewery, and the events team worked with us to help include their beer in our bar package. We went into our wedding day feeling very confident with our planning, and our events team rep Ashley was amazing with keeping all our details covered, so much so that the actual day exceeded our expectations. It was absolutely perfect, thank you so much Ashley and Treasury team!The Lightner Museum St. Augustine's reply:

The Lightner Team made our lives stress free. They were onboard with any requests that we had. We had a lot of older guests in attendance and they were able to accommodate tables and chairs during cocktail hour in the grand lobby. They were able to accommodate our table set up that we wanted and also the yard game/video game setup on the mezzanine. They helped all of our guests with any requests that they had. The bartenders were amazing - so nice and made the most delicious drinks - you need to try the espresso martini! The drink set up in the bride and groom suites was awesome too - complete with how to make the drinks sign. The signs at the bar were beautiful too! They asked all the right questions throughout the process to make our wedding an absolute dream. They were the most helpful, kind, patient team to work with. The perfect venue with the perfect team!The Lightner Museum St. Augustine's reply:

The Lightner Museum is a magical venue that made our wedding so special! This museum has been around since 1888 and is filled with both history and charm. The team at the Lightner Museum went above and beyond to make our wedding perfect! Katie especially did everything she could to ensure everything ran smoothly! The museum has stunning views of St. Augustine from its terrace, making it a perfect setting for any wedding ceremony and/or reception. Additionally, the museum is conveniently located next to some popular attractions like the Castillo de San Marcos fort, giving guests plenty of things to do before and after the big event!The Lightner Museum St. Augustine's reply:

Lightner Wedding
My daughter just got married at The Lightner Museum in St Augustine. What an amazing venue. It was the perfect place for a wedding! It was so beautiful inside and out and truly a breathtaking location.
Carli and the rest of the Lightner's event team were so wonderful! They were friendly and efficient and made us feel completely at ease.
Carli was with us every step of the way and truly went above and beyond! The Lightner team also gave us some great vendor recommendations and we really needed the extra help because we weren't from the area.
This was the perfect place for a dream wedding and reception and everyone had a wonderful time!

Giovana Sent on 01/27/2023Best Venue!
We got married at the Lightner in November of 2022, and planned our wedding for about a year and a half before that, and I can't even express how easy and enjoyable the Lightner Team made this experience for us! Bailey was communicating with us every step of the way, and she is just the best and so attentive. We chose to book the Intimate Wedding Package as our guest list wasn't extensive, and it was so extremely convenient to have a list of trusted vendors included already, it completely took away the research and headache of finding them one by one (we only had to book our flowers and photographer). We had a perfect day, free of worries, and had so much fun. I wouldn't have changed a thing! Saint Augustine was always our choice, and the Treasury Venues were the only ones we visited while looking for a venue because after leaving our Lightner tour, we were 100% sure there was no better place for our wedding.
I also need to leave an honorable mention to Althea, our bartender, because she is AWESOME!The Lightner Museum St. Augustine's reply:
Giovana, thank you so much for the sweet review! We are so glad you chose The Lightner Museum as your wedding venue and that you trusted us with your most special day. You two were absolutely wonderful to work with. And we sure do love Althea! All the best, Bailey and The Lightner Events Team -

I loved that I got to have this big-beautiful wedding venue despite having a micro wedding. They marked off the courtyard which made it feel less like a public space. Easy to work with my wedding planner and helped make my wedding dreams come true!The Lightner Museum St. Augustine's reply:
Hi Rachel! We're so glad that you had an amazing experience for your wedding! We would recommend moving your WeddingWire review over to The Wedding Authority page, as they coordinate all of the weddings in City Hall Courtyard in front of the Lightner Museum.

The Perfect Place for the Perfect Day
We loved our Lightner wedding! The venue is so special, and the events team truly elevated the whole experience. From the moment we toured with Olivia it was clear they were passionate about making sure every couple has the best possible day, and Emily carried that energy all the way through to our wedding day. Our guests absolutely raved about the event, the only thing I wish we had done differently is added on extra time at the end of the night because we really didn’t want it to end! Emily made sure that we got photos in all the perfect little spots the museum has, and we can cherish those pictures for years to come. The intimate wedding package was a really convenient option especially for people who hate making choices, vendor standouts from the package were Arlene from Sweet Weddings who made the perfect desserts/cake and Bill from DJ ProShow who kept the party going. The bar staff was also phenomenal! I would without a doubt choose the Lightner if we did it all over again!The Lightner Museum St. Augustine's reply:
Julianne, thank you for your kind words! Missing you and Joshua already! I loved getting to know you two through the planning process. Don't be strangers and come back for an official tour of the museum! Wishing you the very best, Emily & the Lightner Team 🥂 -

Genevieve and Lucy were more than just Amazing! The wedding day came and I didn’t have to think of one worry or concern. I was able to enjoy our daughter and new son-in -law. I was able to breath in the magical lights, the vows, the toasts, and all 150 guests. Not one complaint, not one issue, there were so many details. Genevieve, Lucy and their team were on top of everything. I loved that Lucy took 5 or 10 minutes to keep me notified and involved with the entire wedding. Our guest keep asking us to do it all over again because it was so fun! They are calling it the “Wedding of the Century” , “The best wedding they have ever been to” Every vendor that Lucy and Genevieve recommended were perfect! I had a million ideas and Lucy guided me and helped me put all the pieces together. We had many great phone call and zoom meetings, she made it so easy. Sunny Stems, were just Amazing flowers and beautiful, fresh and gorgeous. Creme de la Cocoa! Oh my goodness! Very decadent! The most beautiful cake with our little puppy chewed tucked in the cake so so sweet. The desserts went in 10 minutes. Emma Christine photographer I will be using her again! Outstanding! She is Just so wonderful and got each and every pose that I wanted for the bride groom and families, I don’t know how she did it but just breathtaking and jaw dropping photos. The videographer…. I have cried so many time…he captured history, we will be using him again as well! First Sight Films!!! Coastal Celebrations! +Lucy + the famous bride and groom sweetheart chair and the couches will go down in the history books! If I am forgetting anyone, it has been one month since the wedding and We are still talking about the Wedding. Thank you Genevieve, Thank you Lucy, Thank you Everyone for making our Forever Memories!

A venue your guests will NEVER forget!!
In 2018, my (then boyfriend) Kevin and I made a trip up to St. Augustine for a concert, and while we were we did a tour of the Lightner Museum. There just so happened to be a wedding the day that we went on the tour, and as soon as I saw the pool area being set up, I had made my mind up that I wanted our wedding to be at Lightner (even though we weren't even engaged yet). Fast forward to 2022, Kevin and I were lucky enough for our dreams to become reality, and we got married at the Lightner this past May. I loved this venue from the minute I laid eyes on it, and our wedding was everything we could have imagined and more. The venue staff - from the sales side of things, all the way to the event coordinators (shout out Britney and Baily!) - were beyond amazing. Each person we worked with was communicative, up-front, professional, kind, knowledgeable, engaged, fun to work with, the list goes on and on. We received so many compliments from our friends and family about how amazing our venue was. Lightner is beautiful in itself, but you have the freedom to completely transform the space to your liking (OR leaving it simply as is). Additionally, there are a variety of spaces/rooms that you have access to throughout the planning process, as well as the day of - all of which are included when purchasing your package. Our cocktail hour was held in the grand lobby, while our ceremony AND reception were held in the pool. I was beyond impressed with how the team quickly and efficiently transformed the space while our guests were at cocktail hour - it literally becomes an entirely different space all together. The Lightner is elegant, timeless, and is as luxurious as it is historic. If I had to do it again, I would choose Lightner Museum over and over again. Your guests will never forget this one-of-a-kind venue!!!The Lightner Museum St. Augustine's reply:

Lightner is an amazing venue with a great team to help you plan your wedding.

For me (someone very unfamiliar with wedding planning), they really helped me with all my questions and gave recommendations on vendors in the area.

If you are considering the Lightner Museum for your wedding, BOOK IT!!! Our wedding there was pure magic. It is such a unique, historic and impressive venue. It is already so beautiful on its own, you really don't need to add much, just some touches to personalize it if you want. All of the folks at the Lighter were easy to work with - very friendly and responsive and made us feel so special throughout the process and on our wedding day.

The BEST day of our lives!
Planning and getting married is nothing short of a stressful time, however doing it during a pandemic is even MORE stressful! I am happy to say that Lightner Museum and their wedding coordinating team made it a very smooth process. We were planning our wedding from out of state and we were first given a private virtual tour of the venue. This gave us an opportunity via Zoom to ask questions and get a better understanding of the layout of the venue. The museum is in the heart of St. Augustine; a beautiful, Spanish influenced restored hotel that has a beautiful garden, “pool” area (where we had our ceremony and dance), and also an artifacts area that displays objects from the time the museum was a hotel. After everything was booked and the date was set we were handed over to Alex who helped us build our timeline, bar tasting, and to make sure everything went according to plan. The professionalism and seamless execution of all parties involved was nothing short of amazing. All the details we requested were met and my husband and I truly had a great time on our wedding day not having to worry about anything besides enjoying ourselves and our guests. Thank you Lightner so much for having us and making our wedding day one of the best days of our lives! -

The Lightner is EPIC! Not only is the facility something out of a magazine, but the team of Brittany and Alex made this venue unforgettable for our family and our guests! We got so many compliments on how friendly everyone was that helped us out during the wedding. The cocktail hour space was magnificent and having the courtyard for pictures was a huge plus for the guests! Brittany- there are no words to describe how she made our daughter’s wedding so special! She came up with the perfect signature cocktails for it and even made a sign for Haley to surprise her for the reception! What a great team she and Alex made! I can’t recommend this Lightner Museum with only 5 stars…. I’d give it 10! -

Oh. My. GOSH! We cannot say enough good things about Alex, Brandy and the whole Lightner Team! We planned a wedding at the Lightner from out of town in Atlanta, and this team made it feel like we were at home every single time we walked into that museum. We told them that we know they do this stuff all the time, but that they were SO special to us! To have people helping make your wedding dreams come true that also feel like family is an amazing feeling. We love them so much..and they are SO talented! The way they transform the pool area is right out of a storybook. We had multiple people say the word "magical", and others said it was a venue that would make Jay Gatsby jealous (which made my whole life). If you are considering this venue at all for a memorable event, stop considering and BOOK IT. They are incredible!!! -

Kaela Sent on 12/14/2021The Best Wedding Venue in St. Augustine!
My now husband and I loved having our wedding at the Lightner! We got engaged during the pandemic and while we grew up in Florida, are not local to the area. I wanted to marry somewhere more unique and historic, like a museum or library, large enough to accommodate both of our big families, and that is so beautiful on its own, it really doesn't need much decoration. From just looking at the Lightner on its website and taking the virtual tour, it definitely fits that vision! The space is huge and can be customized in so many different ways, and I was able to realize my vision of mixes of classic and modern inspired decor, all without really adding too much, because as I said, the Lightner is truly beautiful on its own. The day of the wedding, our guests could not stop talking about how beautiful and historic the space was, and loved taking a little tour of the museum exhibits! Additionally, since we weren't local, we didn't end up seeing the venue until almost 2 months before our wedding, but throughout the entire planning process, Genevieve, Brandy, and the whole Lightner team were incredibly responsive and helpful, especially for a very Type A planner such as myself! My only regret is not having had more time in this beautiful place :) Highly recommend if you're looking for a larger venue in St. Augustine, it truly stands out from so many of the other places in the area.The Lightner Museum St. Augustine's reply:
Kaela,
Thank you so much for your kind words! Your day was absolutely beautiful, your vision was absolutely beautiful, YOU were absolutely beautiful! I am so honored to have been your person and to celebrate with you!
Wishing you both the best always!

Perfect Venue and Event Team!
Best Venue & Event Team Ever!!! My (now) husband and I were married last month at the Lightner Museum and it was far beyond our expectations! The venue itself is beautiful with a rich history and has a million places for breathtaking photos. The event team with the Lightner is absolutely amazing and waked us through everything - our event coordinator, Jamie, was everything we needed, always had an answer for my questions and had a smile every time I saw her! Look no further for a perfect wedding venue! -

I can not recommend this venue enough! Not only is it absolutely beautiful but the team that you get to work with make sure you have the most amazing day possible. From the amazing tour we received with Christina to working with Brandy on all details and any questions we had 10/10 HIGHLY RECOMMEND! The options to have your ceremony, cocktail hour and reception in different areas of the venue was a selling point for us. We had many out of town guests and they were completely blown away ! -

We had our wedding at the Lightner on 10.17 and had the pleasure of working with Kelly through the booking process and Alex for event planning. It was an absolutely wonderful experience working with them from the moment we inquired about having our wedding there through the big day itself. You can tell they value providing you with the perfect day from the big details to the small. We went with their intimate wedding package which I couldn’t recommend more if you’re flexible with dates because the vendors they selected were some of the top rated in St. Augustine and just amazing to work with. Plus they were all familiar with the venue so the effort we had to put in was minimal (a huge stress reliever when planning). Our wedding was everything we envisioned and then some - we can’t thank the Lightner team enough for making our day perfect it was the perfect venue and we couldn’t recommend them enough! -

We loved having our reception at the Lightner Museum. Bailey and team are so easy to work with and are always quick to respond to any questions. It was very easy and seamless to coordinate anything with their team and took a lot of wedding-day stress away from me as the bride.
For out-of-town guests coming to St. Augustine for the first time, you cannot find a better, more beautiful venue than the Lightner, it truly is the crown jewel of St. Augustine.
Before we had the event, I was a tad worried about the venue layout (eating on the 2nd floor and doing all the dancing below) but our older guests loved being able to look over the balcony and watch the dancing and it was also super fun to do our first dance with all of our guests cheering and watching from above.
Not only did we have a great experience for all our guests, but we got the most amazing photos in and around the venue. The courtyard and upstairs museum area made for unique photos I haven't seen anywhere else.
Overall, you will not regret booking the Lightner Museum. It truly is a one-of-a-kind venue you will not be able to find anywhere else in the world. Your guests will love it and you as a couple will love the way it looks in photos, videos, and all the memories you hold from your big day!The Lightner Museum St. Augustine's reply:
Liz, thank you so much for your kind review! I agree that the photos at The Lightner Museum are so unique and beautiful. Your guests had so much fun and the wedding was absolutely beautiful. Please visit for your anniversary! Cheers to a lifetime of love and joy. -Bailey and The Lightner Team -

Carole Sent on 05/19/2021Perfect wedding
We truly lucked out when our March wedding date was available at the Lightner. It was a dream wedding and perfect for us. We had a smaller crowd (70) and the team did everything we needed. Our love of Florida history and the elegance of the museum were exactly what we had hoped to have, and we were extremely pleased with the entire weekend.
We planned our wedding from out of town and the Lightner team was super about giving feedback and direction when we needed it. They gave a lot of individual attention and really listened to us so they could provide us with the experience we wanted. Emily was particularly helpful and she worked well with our wonderful wedding coordinator Shannon, who is on the vendor list they provide. We used local vendors and they were all familiar with the venue so it worked seamlessly. We even asked for additional Covid precautions at the wedding and they took care of them.
We are very family-oriented, and wanted our wedding to reflect that. My husband’s three daughters were my bridesmaids and my two sons were his groomsmen. My best friend from childhood walked me down the aisle to my boys, who walked me the rest of the way to the front. My two brothers officiated over the ceremony. My parents’ wedding photo had a place of honor in a reserved chair, which meant a lot to us. We created the ceremony we wanted and every detail to make this work was handled by our Lightner team and Shannon. They make you feel as if your wedding is the most important one they’ve ever worked on - they make you feel special. We had our ceremony in the swimming pool area, the cocktail hour in the grand lobby and the dinner reception back in the pool area. The flip from ceremony to dinner reception was amazing and both were beautiful. I recommend using the extra pipe and drape and lighting as it really makes the room magical.
Again, we feel as if it was a perfect wedding. I can honestly say my wedding day, thanks to the Lightner team and Shannon, was one of the most stress-free days of my life and I enjoyed every single minute of it. My husband feels the same. That, in itself, is priceless.The Lightner Museum St. Augustine's reply:
Carole, wow did this make us smile! And what incredible photos, thank you for sharing! Shannon and I both agree - you and your husband were a JOY. I am so happy we got to witness the celebration of your family coming together! Wishing you all nothing but the best. Love always, Emily and Team Treasury -

Sarah Sent on 01/17/2021Stunning Historic Venue with Exceptional Events Team!
I found this venue on Wedding Wire when I was newly engaged back in the spring of 2019. From the moment I saw photos and videos, I knew my search was over! To start, the venue was originally a luxury hotel back in the late 1800s (same era as my engagement ring!) and at the time had the largest indoor swimming pool in the world. How cool is that? It's also situated in the heart of downtown St. Augustine and VERY walkable for wedding guests staying at the Casa Monica or nearby hotels, airbnbs, etc. AND it's just a timeless place that reminds me a lot of my hometown, New Orleans. :) These are just a few of many reasons this venue was a literal dream for my husband and I to say I Do in!
It's hard to put into words how appreciative my husband and I are for the Lightner Team - especially Kelly Hale and Brandy Boulette! Kelly is part of the sales team and did a fabulous job answering all the questions we had for her (there were many!) and taking us on a very comprehensive tour of the spaces we could rent - thank you Kelly! Brandy literally made our event happen, is amazing at what she does, and is overall just an awesome person. She knows the Lightner inside and out and will do her best to work with any idea you throw her way - including a traditional New Orleans Second Line from the ceremony to cocktail hour! haha! (Thanks for executing this so well, Brandy. Made me feel like I was back in the Big Easy!)
I also want to mention how professional Brandy and her team were with handling Covid-19 concerns and postponements. They created policies and set safety protocols which really helped to put a lot of our guests' minds at ease. While we definitely had our moments of uncertainty, Brandy and her team were always there to help.
Again, it's so hard to describe how grateful we are to have worked with this fantastic team at this stunning venue. We are beyond thrilled to have had our big day even in the midst of the pandemic and will cherish that night and all the planning leading up to it, forever.The Lightner Museum St. Augustine's reply:
BRB....just over here crying at the sweetest review!!!
Sarah you are too kind for words! What a beautiful wedding celebration with all the fun touches from NOLA, college days, friends, and family! The Second Line was beyond perfect!
We are so happy you cherished the night and the experience at Lightner from the beginning to the last kiss of the night! You and Chase are a beautiful couple inside and out - you put so much love in your wedding day not for only each other, but for your guests!
The pictures are S-T-U-N-N-I-N-G and we cannot wait to share them all!
We hope you visit and continue to share with us your journey together! Cheers! -

Look No Further for a Perfect & Unique Wedding Experience
My wife and I couldn't be happier, truly, with our perfect wedding day. From the first point of contact, we were in awe of the venue and the service we received. The venue speaks for itself. We wanted something different than the stereotypical wedding factory of a hotel or event venue. If you want a unique and picture-perfect location, there is truly no other option in Florida. Throughout the planning process, Brandy was AMAZING and found creative solutions, making each step as seamless and stress-free as possible. If you cross-reference our wedding date, you will find that our wedding occurred two days before The Lightner closed due to Coronavirus, when CDC limited gatherings to 10 people, and thus our wedding day faced more challenges and cancellations than most. Regardless, Brandy and her team modified plans and delivered a great event. We couldn't be more thankful and couldn't more highly recommend this perfect wedding experience.The Lightner Museum St. Augustine's reply:
Shane you and Steph are too sweet for words! I am so happy you were able to host your wedding and reception at the Lightner!

We spent our years at Flagler College visiting the Lightner Museum, always captivated by how unique and beautiful it was. When I saw them set up for a wedding there for the first time it became my dream venue. They went past my expectations, the perfect space for a dance floor for our big fat Cuban-Rican wedding, and i got my dreams of string lights over the dance floor without having to have an outdoor venue. It was magic, and beautiful and I wish out wedding never ended. The staff was very supportive and helpful and a joy to work with! Thank you for helping my family pack up at the end of the night so seamlessly. They also were supportive of our older family members escorting them to elevators when they needed to get around to the second floor. Our guests are STILL talking about how cool our venue was and it was very us meeting at Flagler and our love for museums it just fit us perfect. Gracias!The Lightner Museum St. Augustine's reply:

From planning and preparation, to the main event, my Lightner wedding experience was exceptional! I can not say enough good things about the staff. Katie and her crew worked tirelessly to ensure that the entire night ran smoothly and went off without a hitch! Every detail was well thought out and executed flawlessly. The staff was incredibly attentive and knew what we wanted, before we even knew (food from our buffet, a drink or glass of water, etc.)! They were truly a godsend! We had our ceremony in the "Grand Lobby" (which I would highly recommend, it was GORGEOUS!), and then moved through the museum to the "pool area" for cocktail hour, dinner and the reception. The space held our 165 guests well, and everyone was comfortable throughout the night. The acoustics of the building itself, made for a great sound from the band, and we enjoyed dancing the night away under the fun string lighting! If you're looking for a venue that's iconic, unique and functional, then this is definitely where you want to be! :)The Lightner Museum St. Augustine's reply:

The staff was extremely helpful, professional, and was readily available to answer our questions and address our concerns. We wanted our open bar to reflect as many local tastes as possible and these ladies bend over backwards to make this happen.

Very spacious venue! We used the bottom floor (pool area) for the ceremony and reception, then used the second floor for dinner and cake-cutting. The staff was incredible, very flexible and responsive to all of our needs. We didn't have a problem choosing from their required list of vendors (plenty of options). The Groom's Suite was INSANE, but the Bridal Suite fell short in that it didn't have all the bells and whistles needed to get ready in the room. There wasn't many outlets, so we got ready in our hotel room and moved to the space shortly before the wedding. So many great photo opportunities and spaces to use within the venue. It was an unforgettable night and I can't imagine getting married any place else!The Lightner Museum St. Augustine's reply:

I am not sure exactly where to begin as there are so many wonderful things to be said, but I’ll start by saying this is the wedding venue that dreams are made of! After touring with my fiancé and parents, we fell so in love we revolved everything (date, time, esthetic) around the Lightner Museum. From the moment you walk in everything feels elegant, timeless, and grandeur. Not sure how you could ever go wrong with that, but to top it off, the staff is so courteous, professional, and helpful. They know everything there is to know about planning a wedding in Historic St. Augustine and are happy to help you every step of the way. A huge shoutout to Katie Noble who indulged our every whim and dealt with my large family and their many opinions. She handled the evening with grace. We had 250 out of town guests and every single one of them has mentioned how impressed they were with the whole weekend. We utilized every single available space because it is all so drop dead gorgeous. If you’re looking for a night you won’t ever forget, book the Lightner Museum.

Dream Wedding Come True
Words cannot describe the beauty and the splendor of The Lightner Museum. It’s so iconic and full of a history so rich and riveting and it’s right in the midst of downtown St. Augustine. During the Nights of Lights the magical twinkling surrounded us while we said our vows and danced the night away. If you’re even thinking of booking this venue, just do it! Your memory will last a lifetime. -

Jessica Sent on 01/16/2019Beautiful and Unique Venue
I had the pleasure of working with Lightner for my wedding on 11/25/18. It is a unique space with so many options for ceremony, cocktail, and reception. Brandy and her team were very responsive and quick to answer any questions or concerns I had about the venue. Brandy worked with me on every detail of my timeline to ensure my vision for my wedding day came true!The Lightner Museum St. Augustine's reply:
thank you so much Jessica for the review! We are so happy your vision was met on your wedding day! It was an absolutely beautiful day and we have to many people asking about pictures from your day because they just loved the all white! Your vision was gorgeous and you complied a team of vendors who knew how to meet that vision. We cannot wait to see all the details again in pictures! Cheers to many years of love and happiness! -

Grant Sent on 12/29/2018I can’t imagine a better wedding venue or staff!
I’ll start with the venue because it is truly magical, especially during the “Nights of Lights” in St. Augustine. You won’t find anything quite like it anywhere else. One of our favorite parts about the Lightner was the flow of the night. Each space served a unique purpose which allowed guests to really take in the beauty of it all. If the venue itself isn’t enough of a selling point for you, then rest assured that the staff will be. Brandy and the team always went above and beyond what was asked to make sure our special day was absolutely perfect. That was only possible because of the exceptional staff and the incredible vendors they had to recommend. Just tell them you want the Ragan/Sides package because all of our guests can’t stop talking about how beautiful, fun, and delicious the food was at our wedding. Looking back after our wedding day, my wife and I have tried to find something we would change but we have yet to come up with one thing. It was just perfect all because of the Lightner and their staff! Choose the Lightner for your wedding. Do it. Just do it. Do it. Do it...Do it. -

Where do I even begin!? Words cannot describe how pleased we were with the staff, venue, and accommodations at the Lightner (Brandy Boulette & team). Especially considering the fact that we planned a destination wedding. The venue is timeless and brings about an effortless feel of glamor and class. Since being introduced to Brandy and her team, I was thrilled to know that such a hands on and professional team would be pulling all the strings behind the scenes on our big day. The Lightner events team exceeded our expectations when it came to executing our vision and whenever there was any stress or anxiety (routinely a part of wedding planning) in the air, Brandy knew just what to do/say. Not to mention she has great connections throughout the St. Augustine/Jacksonville areas, ensuring that the job will get done. Lightner events' relationships with local vendors is also something to be commended. Every time I mentioned Brandy/her team to vendors, they all had wonderful things to say. THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, Lightner Events.

Mrs Sides....where do I begin?!?! Your review is absolutely too sweet - just like you! You and Grant were such a pleasure to work with from day one. Your bar tasting with Mom and Dad is one that I will never forget! I cannot begin to thank you for this review or for being such a fabulous couple! It is couples like ya'll who make our job worth it! I hope you guys come to visit or next time I am driving through Alabama I hope to see you! Cheers to the Sides and Happy New Year! -
