Reviewed On 1/18/2021 by Sarah H
I found this venue on Wedding Wire when I was newly engaged back in the spring of 2019. From the moment I saw photos and videos, I knew my search was over! To start, the venue was originally a luxury hotel back in the late 1800s (same era as my...
engagement ring!) and at the time had the largest indoor swimming pool in the world. How cool is that? It's also situated in the heart of downtown St. Augustine and VERY walkable for wedding guests staying at the Casa Monica or nearby hotels, airbnbs, etc. AND it's just a timeless place that reminds me a lot of my hometown, New Orleans. :) These are just a few of many reasons this venue was a literal dream for my husband and I to say I Do in! It's hard to put into words how appreciative my husband and I are for the Lightner Team - especially Kelly Hale and Brandy Boulette! Kelly is part of the sales team and did a fabulous job answering all the questions we had for her (there were many!) and taking us on a very comprehensive tour of the spaces we could rent - thank you Kelly! Brandy literally made our event happen, is amazing at what she does, and is overall just an awesome person. She knows the Lightner inside and out and will do her best to work with any idea you throw her way - including a traditional New Orleans Second Line from the ceremony to cocktail hour! haha! (Thanks for executing this so well, Brandy. Made me feel like I was back in the Big Easy!) I also want to mention how professional Brandy and her team were with handling Covid-19 concerns and postponements. They created policies and set safety protocols which really helped to put a lot of our guests' minds at ease. While we definitely had our moments of uncertainty, Brandy and her team were always there to help. Again, it's so hard to describe how grateful we are to have worked with this fantastic team at this stunning venue. We are beyond thrilled to have had our big day even in the midst of the pandemic and will cherish that night and all the planning leading up to it, forever.

Reviewed On 11/14/2020 by Brian F
We booked our wedding for on a Saturday February 2021 back in January of 2020, long before most people even knew what COVID is. We planned on having a 100 person wedding, knowing that everyone, ourselves included, is traveling from out of town,...
and most from out of state. It would therefore not be possible to have most of our guests attend, due to work schedules, to host on any day but a Saturday. Because of our Jewish faith, we cannot host the wedding during Shabbos (Friday sundown - Saturday sundown). We therefore planned an early February wedding because the sundown time would allow us to have our wedding at a reasonable time (6:30pm start time). Due to COVID, they are now working with most couples on a 8-10 week out basis to reschedule their weddings. If you're considering a venue and have never planned a wedding before, you should know how unrealistic that timeframe is. At 8-10 weeks out, your invitations should be out, you should be receiving RSVPs back, working on vendor specifics, have the bride’s dress altered, etc. etc. We approached them to reschedule our Feb. 2021 wedding, as we had been hearing from nearly all of our guests that they would not be able to come, due to travel restrictions and health considerations. As an exception to the 8-10 week policy, they offered to reschedule our event to June of 2021 at the latest, which we appreciated, but due to Shabbos, we cannot have a wedding any later than February, as the sundown time would force us to start our wedding very late in the evening. For example, if it were held in April, we’d have to start at around 8pm; this would mean the event would end at 1:30, well past their cut off time stipulated in the contract. We then asked for a Saturday in late October, or all of November and December, and they offer us the Saturday before or the Saturday after Thanksgiving; no other dates! They know this is not workable for a wedding where everyone is coming from out of state; nobody would come to a wedding right before or right after Thanksgiving. We then asked several times for Saturdays in January or February 2022, both of which would accommodate our guests’ travel needs and our religious needs, but they refused to provide that option, however several asks later, they agreed to provide those options, but insisted on charging an additional $2,000, on top of our already outrageously overpriced venue contract (to the tune of $15,500+ originally). Because it was the only venue my fiancee and I both liked, we begrudgingly agreed to pay the $2,000 additional fee, but they then refused to host our wedding, saying they’re “not a good fit.” They took it upon themselves to cancel our contract, refusing to host our wedding as scheduled or on any other previously offered date. Nobody at this organization answers phone calls or emails without a three day minimum to get back to you. Some emails went a week without a response. If you are considering a St. Augustine wedding, do know that there are many other wonderful options in historic downtown and along the beach (keep in mind Treasury on the Plaza is also operated by this organization, where you’ll have similar poor treatment). You should consider these alternatives if you value good communication, customer service, and/or having your religious needs accommodated. You should also consider these alternatives if you are Jewish as they have proven that they are happy to discriminate against and mistreat Jewish couples without hesitation.
Response from the Vendor on 11/14/2020
We apologize that you feel that we have not been accommodating to your needs during this trying time in the world. We pride ourselves on our customer service and excellent reviews. Every review we received at the Lightner Museum has been a 5-...
star review except for yours. Our reschedule policy has been helpful to our 100+ clients that needed to reschedule during these unprecedented and difficult times. The policy ensures they know what to expect when as well as give them time to make important decisions with clear understandings and expectations. When our policy was not accommodating for you to respect your religious guidelines we adjusted the policy and offered you the 3 remaining Saturdays in 2021 as well as any Sunday through Thursdays in 2021. We then opened our calendar to you for 2022 as we asked and mentioned 2022 dates would need to meet those rate requirements. It was only after you requested a refund that we agreed to offer this as an option as we want our clients to be happy with their planning experience and their wedding day. When you shared and email stating “we will begrudgingly agree to reschedule to January 8th” and that "we will be moving forward with an extremely sour taste in our mouths, and, in the end, will almost certainly be unable to reflect positively on our experience with your organization, no matter how well the event itself goes.” we were saddened to think that we would never be able to make you or Angela happy on such a joyous celebration in your love story! We are in the business to make people happy and we pride ourselves on excellent customer service. Most importantly we require of ourselves that your celebration should be filled with wonderful memories and happiness and based on your email we would be unable to fulfill that expectation. We wish you and Angela much love, joy, and happiness!

The stunning Grand Lobby was where we hosted cocktails. And the event staff were absolutely fabulous!! They deftly and expertly handled every aspect of the planning and execution of the wedding. Brandy was helpful with advice during many difficult decisions that presented because of the Covid virus. On our wedding day, one guest who needed handicapped parking, was unable to find an available space. Brandy went out, found where they were, and brought them to her assigned parking place and moved her car elsewhere . That’s generosity of spirit! Our guests were so complimentary and effusive about the wedding. It was truly beautiful.

breathe of fresh air from the rest of the tours. From the beginning she just got us. We knew instantly the Lightner was the venue for us. Kelly worked with us answering questions, revising the contract, handling insurance questions and every little detail we through at her before we signed. She was very professional and prompt in her responses. If I emailed her, I always heard from within 24 hours. The venue is by far one of the most unique venues in town. The venue is rich in history, has so much charm and character. You can dress up the venue any way you want it and it will just work. The venue is so versatile as well every experience is unique We got married off sight at a church in town, after the ceremony our guests walked across the street to the Lightner Museum. They entered through the courtyard, into the Grand Lobby where they received their first cocktail. There they were able to tour the museum before working their way down into the “pool” for cocktail hour. After cocktail hour everyone went up to the mezzanine level (like the pool deck) as the band announced the bridal party into the pool. It was so neat to be able to look up and see all of our loved ones looking at us as we started our first dance. The space accommodated our 190 attendants comfortable and flowed well. Leading up to the wedding day Katie was fantastic to work with. She arranged walkthroughs for us, helped us with our layout, uplight and design. She was full of wonderful ideas and such a joy to work with. On the wedding day Katie and her team were completely professional, efficient and made everything run smoothly. We did not have to worry about a thing. The staff was very attentive and bent over backwards to make sure we had everything we need - they even had a second drink in our hands just before we finished the one we already had. My husband and I met at and went to Flagler College and it was important for us to tie the Henry Flagler aspect into our wedding day. The Lightner Museum was the perfect fit for us but the Lightner team is truly what made it such a wonderful experience!

wedding factory of a hotel or event venue. If you want a unique and picture-perfect location, there is truly no other option in Florida. Throughout the planning process, Brandy was AMAZING and found creative solutions, making each step as seamless and stress-free as possible. If you cross-reference our wedding date, you will find that our wedding occurred two days before The Lightner closed due to Coronavirus, when CDC limited gatherings to 10 people, and thus our wedding day faced more challenges and cancellations than most. Regardless, Brandy and her team modified plans and delivered a great event. We couldn't be more thankful and couldn't more highly recommend this perfect wedding experience.

Having the reception on the ground floor made it feel so much more intimate and helped everyone to be more involved (I was also grateful to avoid stairs). We took our first look photos on the third floor of the historic pool and got to take fun photos with the wedding party in the old spa in the museum. I love how our wedding photos in the courtyard and hallways came out. They also just renovated the bridal suite and it's beautiful!

ng (date, time, esthetic) around the Lightner Museum. From the moment you walk in everything feels elegant, timeless, and grandeur. Not sure how you could ever go wrong with that, but to top it off, the staff is so courteous, professional, and helpful. They know everything there is to know about planning a wedding in Historic St. Augustine and are happy to help you every step of the way. A huge shoutout to Katie Noble who indulged our every whim and dealt with my large family and their many opinions. She handled the evening with grace. We had 250 out of town guests and every single one of them has mentioned how impressed they were with the whole weekend. If you’re looking for a night you won’t ever forget, book the Lightner Museum. We don’t ever get tired of looking at our pictures or video, and know we will be returning soon to visit. Love this place!

We loved utilizing the entire space, allowing our guests to flow through each floor to take in the beauty of the building. All of our guests were in awe of the space. The Lightner allows for so many great photo opportunities, providing vibes from vintage to whimsical, to magical. We couldn’t have asked for anything more, choosing the Lightner was the best choice we could’ve made for our wedding day.

They even give offer discounts when you book closer to the event, but you have to be lucky with timing! Brandy was especially helpful organizing my setup at the museum. She is great with floor plans, and always very responsive to emails, texts, and flexible with meeting times!

rganized. She went out of her way to make us happy. For instance, my daughter and her bridal party were the first to use the bridal suite. However, the construction was delayed and at the last minute, we almost had to find another place. Brandy stepped in and worked with the team to get everything back on track. During this time, she called me with updates and to reassure us that everything would be fine. And it was more than fine. My daughter’s day started off wonderful and continued to be, as she said “A Dream come true”. The Lightner Museum was already a beautiful venue and then to get ready in the bridal suite within the museum as well was a very nice touch to the day. Whenever I called Brandy or her team, they responded to my calls promptly and always made sure I was satisfied and my questions answered. As a mother of the bride, Brandy and her staff always made me and my daughter feel special. We also had a beyond wonderful wedding coordinator, Olivia Gonzalez. She always responded quickly and was super helpful. Both Brandy’s team and Olivia’s team worked well together making my daughter’s day very special. The wedding guests are still talking about how beautiful the venue was and how much they enjoyed it. My daughter and her husband said that they had a “fairy tale” wedding and couldn’t be happier. I highly recommend this venue. You will not be disappointed!
