Wedding vendors in Jacksonville, FL

Jacksonville is the largest city by land area in the lower 48, and that spread is the point: couples choose between the St. Johns River downtown and in Riverside and Avondale, the oceanfront in Jacksonville Beach, Neptune Beach and Atlantic Beach, the Intracoastal and marsh at Ponte Vedra, and the historic streets of St. Augustine a short drive south. Venue fees cover a wide spread, from simple riverfront and park spaces to full oceanfront resorts, and florals price on the high side, while planners are among the most reasonable in Florida. Read on for what a Jacksonville wedding costs, where couples are marrying across the First Coast, and when to book, and let us match you with vetted, available Jacksonville vendors for your date and budget.

Where couples get married in Jacksonville

Downtown, Riverside & Avondale

Historic homes, riverfront parks and restored brick buildings along the St. Johns, with the Five Points and King Street restaurants close by.

The Beaches

Oceanfront ceremonies and casual receptions in Jacksonville Beach, Neptune Beach and Atlantic Beach, twenty-five minutes east of downtown.

Ponte Vedra & Nocatee

Oceanfront resorts, golf clubs and Intracoastal venues south of the Beaches, the most polished and highest-priced end of the market.

St. Augustine & Amelia Island

The oldest city in the country to the south and a barrier island with a Victorian downtown to the north, both destination territory within an hour.

When to book in Jacksonville

Spring and fall are the comfortable seasons on the First Coast, March through May and late September through November, and oceanfront Saturdays at Ponte Vedra or on Amelia Island in those months book 12 months or more ahead. Jacksonville summers are hot and humid with afternoon storms, though the sea breeze at the Beaches takes the edge off, and hurricane season runs June through November. Two weekends to plan around: the Florida-Georgia game in late October or early November, which fills downtown hotels, and the big PGA Tour week at Ponte Vedra in March.

Common questions

Jacksonville has the widest venue spread of any Florida city in our data, because the metro stretches from simple riverside and park venues downtown to oceanfront resorts at Ponte Vedra and Amelia Island, and catering shows the same gap between casual and full-service. Florals price high for the region, while planners and music are on the reasonable end. Pick your side of the metro first and the budget follows. The ranges above come from real vendor pricing in our Jacksonville data, and Our Day negotiates exclusive rates on your behalf.
