Help for Creating Your Wedding Magic

Where can you find all the things?

At this point, you may know how many people will be invited, whether or not you want a church wedding, and what flavor of cake you'll serve. Now, it's time to find all those things right here in St. Augustine. We can help.

Here's where to find all the things you need for the wedding of your dreams. Venues can be as simple as a few chairs and an arch on a beach, as grand as the gallery at the Lightner Museum, or as exciting as the sizzle available at the Treasury on the Plaza. Some venues are also hotels or restaurants and have food service on the premises. Others offer a list of preferred vendors, and still others require you to find all the things on your own. Coming from out of town, or is this just too much to handle alone? Event and wedding planners can help.
