We couldn’t have asked for a more perfect venue for our wedding! The grounds at The Oldest House were absolutely stunning - every corner was picture-perfect and added so much beauty to our special day. The team with St. Augustine Bookings were great to work with from start to finish. If you’re looking for a breathtaking venue with exceptional service in St. Augustine, this is it!

The venue is clearly gorgeous as you can see from the photos, but Helen and all the staff were absolutely amazing. From day one when we booked to the actual wedding day they were there for us and helped us with all our small and outrages needs. I couldn’t have asked for a better overall experience.
