Above and Beyond

I don’t even know where to begin with how amazing our experience was. Let me start by saying, this was the second time we planned our 2020 covid wedding, so I already had experience with other vendors. This time we decided on a micro wedding. We chose this venue sight unseen, and let me tell you, it is GORGEOUS. Photos do not do it justice. The service and food exceeded ours and our guest’s expectations. Deana was amazing, responsive, and friendly. She went above and beyond to find a special Italian pastry we wanted for our day.
We had family from all over, NYC, DC, Boston, Denver, they have access to amazing food on a daily basis, everyone was impressed with the quality of the food and the service. I wish we had photos to post but everyone was too busy enjoying the food and stunning venue to take pictures of it :)
Hannah, our on site coordinator was very responsive as well. She too went above and beyond to make sure there was sufficient wifi available (where there usually was not wifi access) so we could live stream our wedding for friends and family.
Very happy bride and groom!

Dream Come True

Getting married at Flalger College was a dream of mine the day I realized it could be used as a wedding venue. While my husband and I didn't tie the knot on campus, we did have the Markland House as our reception venue. Flagler's event and catering teams were amazing and really helped make our vision come to life, especially when they offered their input on some of the smaller details based on experiences in the past during a planning call with our coordinator. That assured me I was working with people who really knew what would make sense versus what wouldn't. I appreciated that 100%.

Flagler College Wedding

Where do I begin? Our wedding was magical because of the team at Flagler College! The coordinator Hannah went about and beyond and made every detail perfect in every way! Deanna, the catering manager prepared the most beautiful brunch and dinner and all of our guests said it was the best wedding food they ever had. It was perfect in every way!! Highly recommend!!!

Hello!!!

As the new Rental Manager and an Alumn to Flagler College, I am excited to introduce couples to our incredible venues. There is nothing more iconic nor breathtaking in the center of historic downtown Saint Augustine - and its fun to give an insider view!

My family and I have lived in Saint Augustine for 15+ years and I personally have been working in the event industry since my graduation in 2010 - yikes - life is just flying by!

I look forward to working with couples envision their dreams and my personal favorite, give their guests a really great experience that they never expected.

Hannah
