Yes! There is parking at the church and at The Fountain of Youth. However, overnight parking is not permitted at The Fountain of Youth and cars must be out of the parking lot by 11:00pm. There is street parking right outside the entrance to the venue and cars may be left there overnight.

Guests will walk on paved pathways, but will have the option to explore the entirety of the grounds which includes a boardwalk out to the marsh and grassy areas.

Yes! There are many great lodging options near and around the venue. If you are wanting to stay near the beach, the Vilano area is a great option. It is just over the Vilano Bridge and is about 10 minutes from the Fountain of Youth. There are tons of air bnb and other house rental options near the Fountain of Youth and in and around downtown St. Augustine. There is a room block at the Homewood Suites.

Our invitations list every guest who’s invited, so we’re unable to accommodate additional plus-ones.

We love your little ones, but due to limited space the ceremony may include children under 18 while the reception will be adults only. Thank you for understanding.

There will not be transportation provided between the ceremony and reception. Guests are welcome to park at the reception venue (please move cars if needed before the venue’s overnight cutoff) or use street parking in front of the venue, which may be left overnight. Rideshare services like Uber are also available in the area.

The ceremony will be at 3:00pm at St. Benedict the Moor Church, which will include a Catholic Mass, and will conclude at approximately 4:00pm. The reception will begin with a cocktail hour starting at 5:15pm at The Fountain of Youth. The reception is 2 miles away from the church. Between the church and the reception there is: historic downtown St. Augustine, San Marco Avenue, and tons of shopping and coffee shops.
