We had both our ceremony and reception there and it was wonderful! My guests keep complimenting the venue. I had about 135 guests and the inside reception space was just big enough.... They provided all the chairs and tables, along with someone to set them up, which was a massive help.
Tanya was proactive in answering all my questions throughout the planning. Old Spanish Quarter also has great rates compared to most other venues in Jax!
My biggest qualm is that we were recommended to set the sweetheart table next to a door leading to the kitchen. When I expressed concerns about staff constantly walking by us during dinner, we were told the caters wouldn't use that door. Come day of, the caters did use that door the entire night. Had I known this prior, I wouldn't have seated my grandmother next to this door, nor the sweetheart table.
Besides that, this is a great venue for its first year. There are little things to consider, like that the planted trees are very young and small, the venue is right next to the road, and you can see the parking lot from the courtyard we got married in. However, these things are unnoticeable come day of!
