Small wedding venues in North Florida & the Space Coast

The cheapest ceremony in Florida is here. So are its most romantic inns — and two farms that print every price they charge.

This region holds the guide's floor and some of its ceiling within an hour of each other. Jacksonville is Florida's chapel town: the Rainbow Wedding Chapel will marry you for $100 on a weekday — less than the courthouse route costs once you count the license — and the Walk-In Wedding Chapel does a 20-guest Signature ceremony for $499. Thirty miles south, St. Augustine's inns sell weddings at inn prices: the Bayfront Marin House bands its packages by guest count from $1,699, and 9 Aviles has built an entire venue around “50 or fewer.”

Amelia Island deserves its own sentence: two Fernandina Beach inns, the Fairbanks House and the Williams House, run elopements the classic way — officiant, cake for two, photographs around a Victorian house — and between them they cover the full honesty spectrum, one publishing prices ($750/$1,200) and one keeping them for the email. And down the Space Coast, two farms — Up the Creek in Malabar and Twisted Oak in Vero Beach — print menus so complete that Twisted Oak even publishes its $500 weekend surcharge. More venues should be embarrassed by that, in a productive way.
