Our wedding at the Cummer Museum of Art and Gardens could not have been more perfect! Many of our guests were visiting from out of town, and we wanted our venue to show off how bea...
utiful Jacksonville is. We enjoyed cocktail hour and dancing outside in the gardens and had a beautiful sit down dinner inside the Terry Gallery. Cara was fantastic to work with and helped answer all of our questions throughout the wedding process. Chef's Garden was also incredible to work with and everyone is still talking about how delicious the food was! I highly recommend the Cummer for a wedding venue! Thank you to everyone for making our day so special!

The Cummer Museum was the ideal place for our wedding. My fiance and I didn't want the run-of-the-mill hotel wedding, and the Cummer Museum was perfectly original and unique. All...
our guests raved about the venue and how beautiful the gardens were! It was also a perk that you actually rent the museum and your guests can peruse the art galleries throughout the evening. Cara Bowyer did an exceptional job organizing everything and coordinating the schedule day-of. The whole experience was like a dream!
There is no more gorgeous venue in town, and no more delicious food! Cara and Jennifer were so professional and talented!
I was truly amazed at how friendly, yet professional the staff of The Cummer has. Cara Bowyer (the event coordinator) is wonderful and meets every need the day of your wedding. S...
he even went to get my spare shoes out of our car when my feet hurt from dancing!!
I had my wedding reception at the Cummer and it was so beautiful - It such a great and unique setting. My guests all loved it so much!
If you want your pictures to be out-of-this-world, you should go with the Cummer. The scenery is just the best in Jacksonville for wedding photos.
I researched and visited venue...
s all over Jacksonville, St. Augustine, and the Beaches looking for the perfect spot that had it all, and this did! It's absolutely beautiful inside the Galleries and in the Loggia area, and of course - the reason we chose the venue - the Gardens outside on the St. John's River.
Additionally, we loved this venue because you can bring in your own prefered caterers, bartenders, cake, etc. It does require extra effort to use a venue that allows you to bring in your own vendors, but I think the extra effort is worth it because you can get exactly what you want. I know a lot of people who are dissapointed when they choose a country club or similar venue that doesn't allow you to pick your baker or bring in your own bartenders/alcohol, because you end up compromising on either style or taste in some way. But at the Cummer, you can really make it your own, very personalized wedding.
The gardens were absolutely beautiful! Our wedding pictures look fabulous! The staff were very friendly and helpful throughout the planning process and the day of. Highly recommend...

The rear of the Cummer faces the St John's River. The grounds boast a beautiful botanical garden. The cocktail hour allowed guests to choose to be inside or outside in the garden...
s. The space was beautiful and required little to no decoration. I cannot say enough about how wonderful the space was. The staff bent over backwards to make us feel like a king and queen on our wedding day.;Our families were both from out of town. We were told that we could store our wedding cake in their freezer. When we returned, the staff had eaten the cake. Guard your cake!! Have someone take it with them after the reception.
