Originally built in 1921 as the First Church of Christ Scientist, our venue is a stunning Classical Revival building featuring four grand Doric columns and timeless architectural charm. Later home to the Karpeles Manuscript Library Museum, the property carries a rich history and has now been lovingly restored into a beautiful event space. With three floors available, a picturesque outdoor landscape, and a location just minutes from downtown Jacksonville, our venue offers a one-of-a-kind setting for weddings and celebrations. Once a historic church, it now blends classic elegance with modern versatility to create an unforgettable backdrop for your special day. Karpeles Grand is a breathtaking historic wedding venue in Jacksonville, FL.
