or garden, here are the top five affordable wedding sites that should top your

What
used to be the Springfield Presbyterian Church, is now a perfect place for a
small wedding. The Springfield Woman's Club can accommodate up to 100 guests.
The building was gently restored with a cathedral ceiling, polished wood
flooring, and décor that replicates Victorian style. The venue is a quick
distance from downtown, North Main Street and is easy to reach from anywhere in
Jacksonville. The garden and fountain areas are an excellent place for your
guests to sample appetizers. The Springfield Woman's Club offers bridal
specials if renting on a Friday or Saturday.
Club
Continental gives you an affordable wedding venue with a ceremony under a
300-year-old Live Oak tree draped in Spanish moss. The outdoor patio area
overlooks the pools, majestic river, and manicured gardens. Your guests will be
impressed by the concrete and wrought iron arches, and distinct marble floors
of the mansion. The food is made with the highest quality ingredients. The Club
Continental chefs will create specialty hors-d'oeuvres and have stations
serving their cuisine. Menus can be customized to reflect your individual
needs. There are several wedding packages to choose from including an
inexpensive bar package. You'll find their staff is very professional,
accommodating, and pleasant to work with. They are dedicated to exceeding your
expectations from start to finish.
The
Dolphin Plaza is a great choice for a vow renewal or beach wedding with
stunning views of the Atlantic Ocean. The venue can accommodate up to 125
guests on their premier 450-acre beachfront park. Brides and grooms are allowed
to bring in their preferred alcohol and food. The facility is complete with a
warming kitchen, outdoor grill, and open meeting room. There are many wedding
and reception packages available. The staff at Dolphin Plaza will coordinate
your beach wedding and address all of your concerns.
The
Haskell Building overlooks the St. John's River from the balcony and has a
grand hall and gorgeous fountain out front. You couldn't ask for a better
location with the deco-inspired setting inside and the magnificent arch
outside. Wedding packages include fees for the use of china, linens, tables,
and chairs to accommodate 275 guests for a cocktail reception. Karen Fritts
runs the RiverFront Café at the facility and oversees the management of your
entire event. She will create the menu of your dreams, and you can check out
sample displays on her website that include meat trays, spreads, dips and pate,
