About

On WeddingWire since 2011

The Woman's Exchange of St. Augustine welcomes your special events - weddings, receptions, anniversaries, corporate receptions and meals and family parties, especially for the important days in your lives.

Groups of 30 to 125 can be accommodated within the historic Peña-Peck House and its garden located in the heart of St. Augustine's historic district. For more than 50 years, The Woman's Exchange has opened the garden and downstairs rooms of the historic Peña-Peck House for these activities.

Our commercial kitchen is inspected regularly by the Florida Department of Health and meets and exceeds all standards. Outside caterer are permitted. If your caterer is not on our preferred list, we welcome them but have requirements that must be met by your caterer. Ask for more details on this. Under the auspices of the city of St. Augustine's liquor-consumption permit, the Exchange allows alcoholic beverages on the site but the bartender(s) must be hired by the contractor for the event.

Events may be scheduled year-round in our garden. A tent and outdoor lighting is strongly recommended for weddings where the garden will host both the ceremony and the reception. There are certain times around holidays when the Exchange may not be available but please call us to see if we can make arrangements to suit your need.

Tables and chairs to seat 125 are included with site fees or you may rent your own.

Our dream wedding!

We absolutely fell in love when we saw this place and knew that it was the ONE for our special day! I live in Europe so my mom had to facetime me when she went to look at the venue, and even only seeing it through video did I know that it would be perfect. Chianna was soo lovely through the whole process and really helpful. The landscaping was absolutely gorgeous! I especially love the backdrop behind our arch where we had our ceremony with all the lush plants. And of course the bougainvillea!! Everyone raved about how lovely it was to have cocktail hour under it. We really couldn't believe how smooth and stress-free everything was and if I could I would do it over and over again at the Peña-Peck House! I highly recommend this venue if you want something classic, elegant, easy, and special!

Beautiful Outdoor Venue!

We had the best experience working with Chianna! We planned our destination wedding during the pandemic. We didn't have the opportunity to visit Florida during the wedding planning process, but Chianna made everything so easy for us. She was always accessible and answered all of our questions!

Also, the venue is absolutely beautiful during the spring time! There were flowers surrounding the courtyard where we had our ceremony and reception. If you are planning to have your wedding here, we would recommend having a tent. It rained for just a bit during our wedding night, but we were lucky the tent was up!

Stunning Courtyard - Lush and Tranquil

Was a great experience working with Chianna coordinating everything at the Pena Peck House! Was perfectly comfortable for 80 seated guests - 95 working the event floor! Beautiful setting in October - flowers in trees, very lush, loved the fountain, overall great set up! Cross your fingers for beautiful weather to have the stars above your head!

This is an amazing museum in historic downtown St. Augustine to have your ceremony or reception or both! The volunteers put on amazing events that are truly unique. The garden turns into a magical place with strings of lights, paper lanterns and a big white tent. Gorgeous!
