Bella Events - Raul Arias & Marisela Gonzalez - are absolutely outstanding wedding planners…read more My husband and I were recently wed as an out of state couple (California to Florida) and Raul made sure we were taken care of from the beginning through the breakdown of equipment following the wedding. He is extremely competent, knowledgeable, kind and meticulous. He was our main point of contact and an invaluable asset for our event. I highly recommend Bella Events for any wedding planning, DJ or bar tending services. He also caters events and graciously loaned us additional items for our wedding that were not included in our equipment rental. He truly took care of all logistics and issues before, during and after our wedding. Raul gave me and my husband a stress free, memorable and enjoyable day.

The place is right by Jax beach, pretty easy to locate and see from the road. We arrived during cocktail hours so we got to mingle while sipping on some wine by the catering staff. The place has 3 restrooms so that was great since there were a round 150 guests. The owner seems to run a little behind on her schedule during our friend's wedding due to traffic and other hiccups throughout the beach ceremony. The garden was pretty Nice, they sell tons of flower seeds and plants right by the venue. We be a great time here and I would love to come back in the future for other events.

I do NOT recommend this place for your wedding reception. I booked the location almost 2 years in…read moreadvance and they cancelled on me with less than 12 hours notice. I had to figure out how to host my guests for a reception the night before the wedding. Most of the wedding day was us setting up an alternate location in a neighbor's back yard. I also paid for a day of coordinator to organize the vendors and they also cancelled that service and I had to find a new coordinator on the day of the wedding. They claimed that the last minute change was due to CDC guidelines related to Covid-19 and gatherings over 10 people. That guideline was in place 4 days prior to their last minute cancellation and they assured me the entire week leading up to the wedding that we were fine to proceed as long as I reduced my guest list to under 50 in compliance with the governor's orders at the time, which I did. Even 2 hours before the cancellation, I had dropped off all my items at the venue for the next night. They somehow thought that allowing my fiance and friends to haul their tables, chairs, linens and dishes to our home and back and use them for the reception made up for their last minute cancellation and told me repeatedly how they were bending over backwards for me. It was very disappointing service all around. I understand that Covid-19 presented unique challenges, but the way Coastal handled this was completely unprofessional. I would have expected the use of their items as a good will gesture for the last minute cancellation/stress and still allowed for us to re-schedule an event at the location on another date. Suffice it to say that I would not recommend them for your event.

A great place to hold a wedding in the heart of St Augustine…read more The Lightner Museum is located in the heart of historic St Augustine, the oldest city in the United States founded in 1565 by Don Pedro Menendez De Aviles of Spain. We recently attended a wedding that was held at this location and were very impressed by the venue and the staff. The chapel is intimate, with about 6 benches on one side and 9 benches on the other. A beautiful stained glass window on the front of the church provides a beautiful backdrop for your special occasion. Parking is accomplished by street parking or nearby parking lots. The bride was provided with a changing room for use upstairs. It was air-conditioned with a couch, chairs, and 3 large makeup mirrors for the bride and her ladies. It overlooked the courtyard with access controlled by the staff. They have a pretty busy schedule, often handling several weddings in a day. Our party had the chapel for several hours and private access to the courtyard for over an hour for wedding pictures. Overall, it was a great place to hold a beautiful wedding with wonderful, supportive staff and a beautiful backdrop.

I did not hire a wedding planner and Megan would send me "monthly checklists" so that I stayed on track and helped answer any questions I had in the planning process/vendor recommendations.

Not only was I out of my element, I was unsure of what I needed. I shouldn't have worried, the crew at Luxe walked me through the process. Then allowed me to make changes. Then make some more changes. When the day of delivery came, I realized that one of the changes I made deleted some fans that I needed. It was my own fault, but alas, no problem, a quick trip back to Luxe and I loaded the items on my car. Everything went very smoothly.

We paid $10k for a tent and some tables a week before the wedding. My mother called the morning my little sister died to tell them not to bring the stuff and her call was never returned. Phillip Schnorr is the owner of the company and initially offered no refund. After a period of back and forth, he only offered around 20% refund.. It's not about the money. It's not about the money at all. It's about the fact that we rented a week before the wedding. The likely hood of someone else renting in that short a time frame is low. At least my mother had the strength to call and cancel. 20% and returning calls days later after several people have called over the last week? People like him are what is wrong with the world. Not how you run a business.
