The experience as a whole was great. The party had to be moved inside and there was not a lot of…read morespace but they made it work. The drinks were spectacular especially the smoked old fashion. It wasn't a regular one tho... definitely had hints of orange which made the bourbon go down easy. My fav was the Berry drink for real.. and the smoked bubble made it worth the wait. Also, I did enjoy the mango drink with the mango foam and the cocktail balls... you bite into them and the alcohol squirts in your mouth... numbest way to take a shot. The gummies were good, you can taste the flavors but they were a bit hard. The presentation of the bar and cocktails were really amazing especially since they didn't have a lot of space to work with. Overall I would definitely hire this crew for my next party. I was a guest at this one

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.

Thank you, Bill for a night that we will cherish forever!

The most unbelievable moment of my wedding Saturday occurred after walking out of the Casa Monica…read morehotel bar minutes before seeing my bride for the first time. The top button of my brand new suit completely fell off as I hurriedly walked to get into position for my first look wedding photo shoot with Monarch Studios. There I am, standing outside in an open public square of St. Augustine, my back turned to my new wife-to-be, wearing a half-open, unflattering suit for the ensuing future hours of many photos not yet taken. Anyone who really knows me well knows that I would've fixated on this in my head...in ALL of the bad ways. It would've muted my enjoyment of the rest of the day, as I would've self-consciously positioned myself in awkward angles with a clenched fist to hide this for the rest of the night. In short, it would've mentally taken me to some significant degree out of the most amazing night of my life. I had no groomsmen to exchange jackets with, I couldn't turn around from my fixed standing position (or risk ruining the planned photo op) and no means to fix this horribly pesky rogue button. I can't recall how long I was frozen there in place, standing across the public square wondering what was going on...but suddenly a relative of mine that had no business being in that square at that time at all had the means and the wherewithal to procure some needle and thread. My aunt admitted that she wasn't that great at sewing. I also certainly didn't know how to work a needle, and as nerve-wracked as I was in the moment, I probably would've accidentally stuck myself a few dozen times in the process. But...to an even greater amazement to yours truly...the fantastically badass wedding photographer Zach Thomas grabs that needle and thread and gets to work on my jacket button. It took a few tries, but like any great dramatic scene out of a million thrillers, he nailed it (or um...sewed it) on the third and final attempt. Button on. Jacket snazzy. Mind of groom at ease. Joyful rest of day! I could go on and on about how Zach was super easy to work with, super accommodating to our out-of-towner schedule, and super skilled at making every subject he shot laugh, but truly...he has my eternal gratitude for bringing an unexpected extra skillset along for the 6 hours he spent with us! Mad props, good sir!! Also, props to my wedding DJ for finding the White Stripes' "The Hardest Button to Button" on such short notice. Hand all of your wedding budget money over to this studio ASAP! (Well, maybe save some back for a nicer suit.)

I have been a long time customer (over 10+ years) of Jessica's. Her talent shows in everything she…read moredoes. She handles a wide range of shoots from Family sessions, couples sessions, engagement sessions to portraits and more, including my most recent one - Santa Minis! She has a studio with revolving sets so no two shoots are the same. And though I've done many family-type sessions with her, it's her themed intimate, dudeoir and boudoir sessions that truly show her skill. I've scouted several other photographers in the area and as someone who is self-conscious, for something so intimate, you need to have utilize someone with skill. I've done no less than 3 boudoir sessions with Jess - and all of them were fabulous. She does various themes (from burlesque boudoir, pinup, Hollywood glam to pool sessions) or standard boudoir. They're all fabulous! I highly recommend her for all your photo needs. In Jacksonville or she'll travel with you to your desired location!
