Bayfront Marin House — St. Augustine

Three guest bands, two prices each — weekday and weekend side by side. More venues should publish a table like this.

Bayfront Marin House is a bed-and-breakfast on the bayfront in St. Augustine's historic district, gazebo in the garden, water across the street. Its small-wedding product is called, without any wedding-industry poetry at all, the Close Friends & Family package — for 3 to 30 guests — and the inn prices it in the open, by band:

PackagePublished price
Close Friends & Family, 3–10 guests — Sun–Thu / Fri–Sat$1,699 / $1,999
Close Friends & Family, 11–20 guests — Sun–Thu / Fri–Sat$2,349 / $2,799
Close Friends & Family, 21–30 guests — Sun–Thu / Fri–Sat$2,799 / $3,349
Gold packagesfrom $6,900

The weekend column teaches you something

Read the weekend column and learn something true about Florida weddings: the Saturday premium here is $300 at the small band and $550 at the top band. That's the honest size of it — not double, not a mystery multiplier. If your 18 guests can do a Thursday, the table literally shows you the $450 you save.

City: St. Augustine, Florida

Guest count: Close Friends & Family package for 3–30 guests; the gazebo hosts up to 30, and Vilano Beach ceremonies up to 20 (the inn overall hosts up to 60)

And the fuller production, if you want it

The inn also runs Gold packages from $6,900 for couples who want the fuller production, and it can host up to 60 overall — but the Close Friends & Family structure is the one this guide exists to find: a B&B that has sat down, done the arithmetic for small weddings, and published it. St. Augustine fills up on weekends from October through spring; at these sizes, weekday dates are also the ones still available.

The short answers

Why does the smallest band start at 3 guests?

The package is built for a couple plus at least a few people — 3 to 10 in the first band. For a strictly two-person elopement, the inn can tell you whether a ceremony-only option applies; don't assume the band stretches down.

Gazebo or beach?

Both are published options with different caps: the gazebo hosts up to 30, Vilano Beach ceremonies up to 20. The beach version adds weather and permit questions — ask which locations the band price covers.

Do the band prices include rooms?

The published table prices the wedding package. Room stays at the inn are a separate booking — confirm what's bundled before comparing against resort packages that fold rooms in.
