The Fairbanks House is one of Amelia Island's grande-dame inns — an 1885 Italianate mansion in Fernandina Beach's historic district, the kind of porch-and-turret building the whole island is famous for. Its elopement package is strictly for two, and the inclusions list is the complete classic set: officiant, photography, a cake for two and champagne.

The price is not published, and the room is charged separately — so the real cost of this elopement is “package plus however many nights in a mansion inn,” which you'll need to ask for as one number. I keep it in the guide anyway, for two reasons. First, the inclusions are exactly right; nothing on that list is filler. Second, an elopement is one of the few weddings where the setting genuinely is the event, and there are not many settings in Florida with this one's pedigree. Email, ask for the package price and the total with two nights, and compare it against Casa Grandview's published $1,499-plus-stay in West Palm Beach — that's your benchmark.
Comparing it with the rest of the region? The other North Florida & the Space Coast small wedding venues are one click away, and the statewide Florida micro wedding guide has all 38. Before you book anything, read what it costs to elope in Florida and what a Florida wedding venue actually costs.
