Formerly the Alcazar Hotel, the Lightner Museum continues the tradition of providing unique spaces for special events. Built in 1888 as an entertainment center for the luxurious Ponce de Leon Hotel, it was visited by more than 25,000 guests. Countless more used the recreational facilities of the Casino and the world’s largest indoor swimming pool. Now, the former Pool and Mezzanine can accommodate sit down dinners, receptions, dancing, and a variety of entertainment for up to 400 guests. A spacious outdoor terrace, weather permitting, can be used for additional seating. The Grand Ballroom Gallery is suitable for cocktails or passed hors d’oeuvres for 400. For up to 250 guests, the front lobby is perfect for a ceremony and light reception. The carefully restored library and board room provide a quiet, elegant spot for an intimate dinner or special celebration. For an incomparable experience in a world-class setting that is listed on the Register of Historic Places and has hosted celebrations for 125 years, consider the Lightner Museum for your special event.

One of our favorite ceremony design choices? Letting the architecture do the talking. ✨⁠
⁠
Hallie and Dylan opted for alcove draping in the Historic Pool, framing the architectural arches rather than covering the space with traditional pipe and drape. Two colorful floral arrangements completed the ceremony backdrop, adding just the right amount of color while keeping the beauty of the Historic Pool on full display.⁠

Two cats and a dog topping their cake, Captain Jack Sparrow on the dance floor, and a bride crowd-surfing.⁠
⁠
Just your average wedding, right? 😂⁠
⁠
This one really had everything. They gave us the sweet first dance, the cake cutting, and one seriously fun dance floor to bring it all home.⁠

There's something about a classic white wedding that gets us every time. For Jordan and Will's wedding ceremony, soft flowers lined the aisle, a white linen-draped backdrop created a focal point, and a beautiful cross was covered in even more white florals.⁠

When the bride changes into her party dress, you know the night is about to get good! ⁠
⁠
A cake featuring their initials and florals that matched her bouquet, a saxophonist taking over the dance floor, and plenty of dancing made for a pretty memorable night. They ended it with a private dance under the disco ball, taking one last moment to themselves after a day they’ll never forget.⁠

Simple and classic. White florals, candlelight, and a greenery-covered cross created a beautiful ceremony setting, made even more meaningful by the fact that the cross was made by the bride's late father. ⁠
⁠
Photos of the couple throughout the years also made their way into the décor around the venue, adding another personal touch to the day. And even the violinist brought a little something extra! 🤍⁠

The sweetest pup to add to the portraits. 🐾⁠
⁠
And the personal touches didn't stop there. The groom's feather bow tie was easily a favorite detail, while personalized oyster shell ring dishes added a little nod to St. Augustine. Even the invitations featured a custom illustration of the Lightner, bringing the venue into the details before the day even began.⁠
