My husband and I are wedding photographers in Northeast Florida, so we have the opportunity to…read morephotograph numerous wedding venues within the area -- but without a doubt, The Glen Venue is our absolute favorite venue. Not only is it a beautiful location, but it just feels like home! Photographing the venue is always a pleasure and there's always something new to work with! Not to mention, the owners (Magi & Lin) are the nicest people you will ever meet. True believers in Southern hospitality! They have a care for their clients unlike most wedding vendors, which is why we adore them so much! There are two houses on the property, The Mathias & The Linwood. (The Linwood being my favorite.) The homes were built in the 1800s and have remained in the family ever since. The Glen Venue serves not only as a wedding venue, but a working nursery as well. If you're in the market for a wedding venue, tour this property. You are guaranteed to fall in love.

Spent Mother's Day weekend with family here, rented a 6 person cabin. The cabin was lovely but I'll…read moreprobably rent 2 next time, 6 people and 1 bathroom is challenging. The beds were supposed to be queen but they were smaller than my queen at home. Plenty of cooking supplies, full size fridge is very nice. Really enjoyed the 11th Hour band on Saturday night, and bingo on Sunday night. A great place for families, if a little expensive. It's very clean, both inside the cabin and everyplace else. I suggest a rug or mat for the front door, it was pouring down rain when we checked in, we used a bedroom rug. So nice to have a place where pets are welcome. Thanks for a great time, we will be back. Ingrid Wright

If you're looking for something truly unique in Jacksonville, The Cove Social Club is such a hidden…read moregem! Located in a 101-year-old building that used to be an A&P grocery store, this space perfectly blends history, creativity, and community. I love that so much of the original architecture has been preserved -- and the fact that it was designed by a woman architect back in the day makes it even more special. The Cove offers so much: daily coffee service, cooking and cake-decorating classes in "The Lab," yoga and meditation on Wellness Wednesdays, Social Sundays focused on mindfulness and connection, and even Art & Wine nights where you can sip, snack, and paint while listening to live music. They're also about to open Sticks & Stones, a private cigar club next door that will be available to members -- it's going to be such a great addition to the experience. The next membership cohort begins November 1st, and spots are limited to just 150 members to keep things community-focused and personal. They also host networking events, lectures, and business education workshops, so it's a great mix of social and professional. Whether you come for a coffee, an event, or to meet new people, The Cove Social Club is one of those places that makes you feel instantly connected and inspired.
