Why We Love B&B Weddings

We've been photographing weddings at St. Augustine's historic inns for over a decade, and not a thing has changed—in the best way possible. In a world where everything feels faster and more hectic, these inns are places where time stands still.

Everything in One Place

Getting ready, ceremony, portraits, celebration—it all happens without rushing between locations. Your wedding day unfolds naturally, and we capture every moment without watching the clock.

The Light is Forgiving

Walled courtyards and mature trees create soft, dappled light that flatters everyone. No harsh midday shadows, no squinting. Afternoon ceremonies glow.

Portraits Steps Away

All these inns are in the heart of downtown. Step outside for variety—St. George Street, the bayfront, hidden courtyards—without getting in a car.

All-Inclusive Packages

Most B&Bs offer packages that handle officiant, flowers, champagne, and cake. You focus on each other; they handle logistics.

Why Choose a B&B Wedding?

Intimate by Design

These venues cap at 20-30 guests because they're historic homes, not event factories. The intimacy isn't a limitation—it's the point.

Stay the Night

Wake up as newlyweds in a 200-year-old inn. Have breakfast delivered to your room. The wedding doesn't end when the ceremony does.

History You Can Feel

Coquina walls, original hardwood floors, antique furnishings—these buildings have stories. Your wedding becomes part of that history.

Stress-Free Planning

B&B wedding coordinators know their space inside and out. They've done this hundreds of times and anticipate everything you haven't thought of yet.

B&B Wedding FAQ

Common questions about bed and breakfast weddings in St. Augustine

Most inns recommend 2-3 months for weekday ceremonies and 4-6 months for weekends, especially during peak season (October-May). Some, like Casa de Solana, can accommodate ceremonies with as little as 48 hours notice if availability allows.

Packages vary by inn but typically include: ceremony coordination, officiant services, champagne toast, small wedding cake, flowers (bouquet and boutonniere), and sometimes photography. Most require a room booking. Always confirm specifics directly with the venue.

Most B&Bs are set up for ceremonies and small celebrations rather than full receptions with catering, dancing, and DJ. For larger celebrations, couples often hold the ceremony at the inn and move to a restaurant or venue for the reception.

Every inn has indoor backup options—parlors, covered verandas, interior common areas. The historic interiors photograph beautifully, so rain isn't a disaster. We've done gorgeous rainy-day ceremonies at all these venues.

Yes, most inns allow outside guests for the ceremony (typically up to 20-30 people depending on the venue). Confirm capacity and any fees with the inn when booking.
