I could seriously write a 10 page essay about how much I loved getting married at Oyster Bay Yacht Club! Our very first tour of the venue, we were greeted by name with a glass of champagne. As soon as we left the venue, we 100% knew this is where we would be getting married!
The planning process was so easy thanks for Eleanor and Annika. From day one, the staff at OBYC went above and beyond to make planning as seamless as possible. We had regular meetings, phone calls, and email check ins. The entire planning process felt custom to us, from creating menus, drink options, decorations, and timelines. They were always there to provide advice and ideas for us. Two weeks out from the wedding, they take over for you (communication with vendors, timelines, and yes, even the small details) On the day of your wedding, they are at the venue at 8 am setting up, decorating, and directing vendors. Nobody had to lift a finger on the day of. They build time into the day for you and your spouse to enjoy each other and soak up every moment of peace. They made sure we were fed, got to eat appetizers, had something to drink and a moment to rest. It was truly the best experience and we were so blown out of the water!!! CHOOSE OBYC!!!!
We just held our daughter and son-in-law’s wedding at Oyster Bay this past Saturday, February 24, 2024. It was a beautiful ceremony under the stunning tree canopy and an unbelievable reception full of love, dancing and fantastic food. The weather was perfect and our guests (especially those from out of state) loved the atmosphere and beautiful views. Our guests raved about the food and how organized the whole night was. Many guests stated it was one of the best weddings they have attended. Much of that credit goes to the staff. The entire staff was so kind and attentive to all our guests. Eleanor and Annika were the best team to work with. They kept us organized and provided guidance throughout the entire process. I would absolutely encourage anyone to book here, you will not regret it!
I work with OBYC quite a bit as a florist and they are my favorite venue to work at! The entire staff is so nice and helpful. The venue itself is stunning and you are in the best hands with the coordinators here : )
OBYC is one of the best venues in northeast FL to work at, and of course to host your wedding/event at. The atmosphere is awesome and the staff are super friendly and helpful! Highly highly recommend!
Words simply cannot express how much I love the entire team and facility of Oyster Bay Yacht Club! The views of the hanging moss covered trees of the ceremony location to seeing dolphins from the veranda during cocktail hour, everything is true Florida vibes, without dealing with the sand and wind of the beach! There are a lot of beautiful wedding venues out there but the true priceless gem of having a wedding at Oyster Bay is getting to work with the wedding coordinators Ashton and Sarah. This was a destination wedding for us and they made the entire process so smooth with their guidance and the strong relationships they already have established with the best vendors in the area. On our wedding day they seamlessly made timeline decisions to work around a pop up rain storm, held umbrellas over us in between shots as we took photos on the docks, were SO kind to all of our family members and guests… the list goes on. Lastly, the food. We got so many compliments on the food and we could not agree more!! Everything was so delicious and fresh! I truly cannot recommend this venue and this team enough. Thank you for the perfect wedding!
We got married at OBYC on June 18,2022, and our experience with this venue and it's staff was EXCEPTIONAL. The wedding coordinator, Ashton Hunter, and the assistant coordinators, Sarah and Anika, made the planning process so enjoyable. Ashton helped us pick vendors that were wonderful to work with, and this in itself helped make the entire wedding season so much fun! The venue itself is exquisite. From the coastal charm of the yacht club to the whimsical feel of the property grounds with the backdrop of the intercoastal, this venue fit everything we could have dreamed of for our wedding day. The day of the wedding the staff executed each moment flawlessly and made sure that we had no worries and all enjoyment! The kitchen staff prepared delicious food, and the attending staff made all of our guests feel carefree to enjoy themselves! I wish we could give 10 stars!
Where to begin – getting married at OBYC was a dream come true for my husband and I. The venue itself is absolutely beautiful, with marsh views, large trees and Spanish moss – so many great places for photos! We loved how quiet and private it was as well, having the whole place to ourselves. Ashton and Sarah took care of everything from start to finish, from coordinating all of our vendors and the OBYC staff, to keeping our crazy families in line, to doing everything - and I mean everything - to make sure my husband and I had the BEST day (keeping us fed, helping us stay on schedule for photos, etc., clearing the venue for our private final dance, packing up all of our personal items at the end of the night, and sending us home with several to-go containers of delicious food). Our guests still say it was some of the best food they’ve ever eaten – Wagyu beef sliders and crab cake appetizers, chicken saltimbocca, blackened red snapper, garlic mashed potatoes, sauteed asparagus, etc.
Ashton/team makes YOU the focus and priority from the very first meeting. They will do everything to make your vision come to life. We appreciated all they did to keep us on schedule leading up to wedding, and despite how fast/hectic the actual day can be, were great at helping us remember to take it all in and enjoy it. We simply did not want the experience to ever end, we can’t wait to come back here to celebrate our anniversary!
As the father of the bride, I did not nearly have the interaction with our wedding planner (Ashton), as my wife and daughter did, but I can tell you that they were blown away by how amazing the entire process went from beginning to end.
The team at the venue was fantastic, everything went like clockwork, everyone was poised and always made us feel like they had everything under control (which they did.)
The food and beverage service and the quality of the food and specialty drinks were spot on, and I cannot think of one thing that was an issue.
All of the vendors that Ashton recommended were top notch, and would not hesitate to recommend any of them.
Lastly, I felt like I should mention that we have had so many compliments about the wedding and that this is the best one they have ever attended!!!
Thanks again to everyone at OBYC for being a part of our memories.
Oyster Bay was the PERFECT venue! Ashton and Kelsey were beyond amazing! They went above and beyond to ensure my husband and I could truly enjoy our wedding day. The in house decor that they have is absolutely beautiful, the food was AMAZING, and the views are unbelievable!! I wish we could live the whole weekend over and over again. I truly don’t believe there is a better venue out there! Thank you so much Oyster Bay for making our wedding dreams come true!
I don't even know where to start. This is a beautiful venue and Cheyenne is amazing!!! We had to postpone our long awaited wedding due to COVID. Cheyenne was always available, helped with every detail and went above and beyond helping us reschedule all our vendors. Everything was perfect!!! Our day was beyond what we expected! Everyone had an awesome time and the food and staff were amazing. It was definitely worth the wait!
If you want an elegant venue in a natural Florida landscape with great food and gorgeous views, plus the BEST coordinator ever, you need look no further than Oyster Bay. Cheyenne will take amazing care of every detail, above and beyond, and you will not have to worry about anything other than having a picture perfect event. Food and bar choices are fantastic, with a variety of menu options and even a late night snack, plus the venue needs very little decorating, as it is already naturally bedecked! Preferred vendor list is awesome, and did I mention that your wedding coordinator Cheyenne is part of the venue package, and she is hands-down the best! Great job, Oyster Bay!
We LOVE working at Oyster Bay- visit once and you’ll want to have your wedding there. The view is unmatched, the drive (or ferry!) over is so peaceful, the venue has an intimate feel, but can hold up to 150, the unique details, the ceremony location, we could go on and on...point being- if you haven't booked your venue yet, you need to have Oyster Bay on your list. We're there so frequently, and I, personally, have attended two family members' weddings there, that I can honestly say that they provide a truly wonderful experience. Their team is always on top of things to ensure that your wedding runs smoothly. - Elena Edwards, Island Sound DJs
I am so happy that we had our wedding at Oyster Bay! They are amazing. Initially we met with Ashton. She was detail oriented, had fantastic reviews and was such a pleasure to work with. But she left and a girl named Cheyenne took over. I was a little nervous because Ashton had 5 stars for years and years. But I must say, it was a seemless transition. Cheyenne was just as fantastic and our day was amazing. She was so attentive and returned our phone calls and emails in 24 hours. You will be so glad that you booked Oyster Bay. The food is incredible, the location is beautiful and the service is top notch. They made our wedding day the best day ever!!
Oyster Bay gave us the wedding of our DREAMS, and I cannot recommend them enough!! Having our reception at this venue was one of the best decisions we made in the wedding planning process and every couple should really consider this venue! 😊
They make the process SO EASY! I was in college full time about to graduate, job hunting, and planning a move all near the end of our wedding planning process….and having the wedding coordinator at OBYC was a life saver. I worked with Ashton for most of my process, and then in the weeks before my wedding I worked with Cheyenne. Both were so kind and helpful in the wedding planning process. ❤
The whole team at the club went above and beyond what we were hoping for. It was so wonderful to not have to worry about the reception in the days leading up to the wedding because I knew they all had everything handled. They told me to drop off my décor a few days early and they would handle everything else (decorating, contacting vendors, handling food and beverage, etc.). I will forever be grateful for every ounce of effort and detail put into helping us have the best day ever! 😊
When I first walked into the main reception area, it took my breath away and I teared up. Cheyenne really understood the aesthetic I was looking for and had decorated everything so beautifully with the décor I had given her and some of the club’s décor. I can’t tell you how many people during and after the reception told me it was the most well organized, beautiful, and fun reception they had been to! We got SOOOOO many comments on how amazing the food was too. Shout out to the kitchen staff for helping me with my dietary restrictions! They made sure I had food that was safe for me to eat with my allergens, and they even packed a to go box for me to eat later that night! It was delicious and honestly some of the best food I have had! 😊
Everyone kept asking me “how I found this place” during and after the wedding, and it was thanks to all of the raving reviews they had online! Having gone through our wedding now I can confirm they deserve 100% of those raving reviews! ❤ This venue is one of the hidden secrets of the Fernandina area….I think every bride should consider them for their wedding day!
OBYC gave us the beautiful wedding of our dreams! It couldn’t have gone any better, and we are SO grateful to have gotten the opportunity to work with such a talented team. I cannot recommend OBYC enough if you are looking for the wedding of your dreams and the best day ever! Book them…you won’t regret it!!! ❤
As we left the venue that night, I cried happy tears because everything went so perfectly and it was all so beautiful. Thank you SO much Oyster Bay Yacht Club!!! ❤
Oyster Bay was the absolute best place to get married! The venue is absolutely GORGEOUS in every way, my guests couldn't stop talking about it. Their staff went above and beyond to make every request and dream a reality, and the day went so smoothly thanks to them. We didn't have to worry about anything, they had every detail covered. The food was absolutely incredible, all of our guests were raving about it, saying it was the best wedding food they had ever had. I could go on and on about how amazing this venue is!! Wishing we could relive our wedding day here over and over.
Choosing OBYC as our venue was the easiest and best decision we could have made. Ashton, the onsite coordinator, makes the entire planning experience stress free and fun. She is available whenever you need her and is pleasant to work with. There were so many things I didn't have to worry about because she was on it. All of our guests gave us endless compliments on how it was the best run and most beautiful wedding. The venue itself is absolutely breathtaking.
We absolutely loved our wedding at Oyster Bay Yacht Club. We worked with Terrie, Ashton, and Cheyenne and each of them were extremely kind, organized, and helpful in every way. My husband and I had no idea what we were doing when we walked into our first planning session but by the time we left, we were confident that they would make our wedding day very special and exactly what we wanted! They communicated with us regularly over the months following to help us stay on track and prepare for the wedding! On wedding day, it ended up raining but because of all of their planning and preparation they were well equipped to still provide us the day we had always dreamed of and we had a blast!! We definitely recommend this venue if you want a beautiful setting, amazing food, and incredible staff helping you along the way!!!
OBYC was the perfect venue for us. The scenery is so beautiful and Ashton (weddings / events manager) is so wonderful to work with. I’m an event planner in my job and super particular about a lot of the small details of event planning and she was fabulous / helpful every step of the way. The venue provides a lot of resources like decor, parking, a place to get ready, etc. too. Highly recommend. :)
Oyster Bay Yacht Club was by and far the best decision we made concerning our wedding! From the first meeting to deciding our dinner menu to asking silly questions about ties for grooms - the wedding planners were there within 24 hours with help. We mainly worked with Ashton throughout the process, but the day of the wedding (she went into labor) we worked with Cheyenne and Terri. I seriously cannot say enough good things about all 3 of the se wonderful, hard working, and thoughtful women. We opted to use the bridal suite to get ready - this was gorgeous, plenty of room, beautiful views, a full kitchen, and just steps from the venue. The venue was STUNNING!! I had many people tell meet was the most beautiful wedding they had every been to. The ceremony area was gorgeous and the perfect size, we had around 98 people in attendance. They have a great plan B if needed, but luckily enough we had 70 degree weather and sunny skies. For the reception, its kind of an inside/outside area but if it is too cold, they have heaters and plastic windows. I was never too cold or hot. They also have 2 fireplaces. The food was also amaaaazing. We chose shrimp and grits and grilled chicken with salsa as the main options. Our appetizers were chicken and waffle bites, jerk shrimp, and cheese and crackers. It was hands down the best night of my life. Also, your pictures will be stunning, they steal bride and groom for 15 minutes of sunset pictures (I have some down below). I don't have may professional ones back yet but I've put some up for y'all. If you don't choose Oyster Bay to host your perfect day, you're crazy!
Oyster Bay was the reason our wedding was perfect! It would have been nice elsewhere but not perfect. We loved the venue itself - views, spanish moss trees, wonderfully decorated space, pretty details, delicious food, and most of all the extraordinary staff. Ashton, Terrie, Cheyenne, and everyone else was such a joy to work with, incredible at their job, and made our day flawless and effortless. We cannot say enough good things about choosing OBYC!
From the first time we walked out on the deck, I knew this was where we would celebrate on our wedding day. The team made our day flawless and our guests raved about the food and the gorgeous setting. Our day couldn't have been more perfect, we highly recommend to other couples!
We held our wedding welcome reception at the Oyster Bay Yacht Club on 8/5/16 for 150++ people and it was absolutely spectacular. Terrie and her team were rock stars and our guests were very impressed with the stunning venue with breathtaking views, staff, service and delicious food.
We were thrilled that we discovered this venue and I highly recommend it to anyone planning a welcome reception, rehearsal dinner, wedding, shower, etc...it's just perfect!
We planned our wedding from long distance, but the care and attention Terrie and her team paid to us made us feel like we were down the road. Seriously, words cannot express how special Oyster Bay Yacht Club is, and how well the team takes care of you from beginning to end. They have a system down that is smart and makes the entire process stress free and perfect. Terrie and Cassie were always quick to respond to my (millions) of questions and provided feedback based on their knowledge and past experience. There was never a time they were unavailable to me, making me feel like I was the only wedding she was planning. Terrie and her team exude creativity and confidence, and pulled together the perfect wedding reception. They went out of their way to bring our vision to life in their gorgeous space. Not to mention she allows you to use some of the club’s personal items, which is so generous of them! Based on this, and the fact that club is spectacular on its own, we didn’t need to add many decorations. This allowed us to splurge on food and beverages, which are 5 star quality! All night long, all I heard from guests were compliments about the space, the décor, the food, the cocktails, and the service…really there was not one single complaint. The team exceeded our expectations in every way, and allowed us to focus on enjoying ourselves. I would, without hesitation, recommend OBYC to anyone, as they are truly amazing. Thank you Terrie, Cassie, and everyone else behind the scenes. You guys really captured what we wanted and we couldn’t have been happier.
This is an amazingly beautiful venue. Every time we went there, we saw different aspects to the property that were so unique. We loved our outside ceremony site, loved that the inside was already so beautiful that we needed to do very little decorating and LOVED Terrie and her staff. With my parents and I being out of town, we couldn't have made a better choice in terms of someone to make the entire process stress free and perfect. Anytime we needed something - from a basket for the program fans, to votives for the mantle -Terrie would say, oh, we have that! The food was excellent and many of our guests commented on that. They exceeded our expectations in every way - including little details like bringing water out to the bridal party while we were having pictures taken, having appetizers and drinks for the bridal party after the photos, and on and on. You won't find a more beautiful venue with more helpful and attentive staff. Thanks to LouAnn for sewing the bustle in my dress - now that's service :) Our day was everything we hoped for and we still haven't stopped smiling. Thank you OBYC and Terrie Sanders!!
Oyster Bay Yacht Club was the first and only venue we looked at for our Wedding. As soon as we saw the photos online, I knew we didn't need to look any further. From that day, it only got better, after searching online we saw review after review raving about Terrie and the team at Oyster Bay. From the moment we contact Terrie she was beyond helpful having all the answers we needed plus more! I didn't know what to expect from a Wedding Coordinator but Terrie exceeded every expectation we had. After the Wedding, people ask how was the big day, was it everything you hoped for. I can honestly say that I never imagined being able to say it was better than I even imagines. And I credit that to Terrie and OBYC - they have a system down, with all the information to put you at ease. They exceeded our expectations when they offered to do so many things the days leading up to the wedding, when we were still putting small decorations together, they said. "Nope, we'll do that" They really take all the pressure off you and take it into their own, very capable hands. Besides Terrie and her wonderful team everything else about the Club was marveous...the food, the scenery, the decor -- all perfect. We had SO many guests come up to us during and after the wedding saying it was the most beautiful, unique wedding/venue they'd ever been to. I'm actually going to miss Wedding planning and working with Terrie. If you're having any doubts about a Wedding Venue or having someone on-site to help, stop your doubts right now, because with Terrie and Team you're 1000% covered. Thank you so very much to Oyster Bay - you made our dreams come true! - Meryn & John
