Where to Stay
Jacksonville is the largest city by area in the contiguous United States (yes, really!). With that said, we want to give our guests the flexibility to stay in whatever part of town that appeals to them. Whether it's a room with an ocean view, or an Airbnb with friends in San Marco that's close to the venue - the choice is yours!
We've included a list of neighborhoods (for Airbnb reference) and hotel recommendations. We have reserved a block of rooms at the Hyatt Regency Jacksonville Riverfront. See below for details on how to book.
For our, "SHOW ME THE ROOM BLOCK" people
Unfortunately, as of January 6th, the rooms in the room block have all been booked. However, we encourage you to stay here as it's one of the nicer hotels in the city with views of the river & where we will be staying for the weekend.
There will be free shuttle service to and from the venue for our guests staying at this hotel. Shuttle is ONLY for hotel guests so if you join us for drinks after the wedding, please plan to Uber from the venue.

For our "What else you got?" people
Hilton Garden Inn Jacksonville Downtown Southbank
This hotel isn't actually in downtown like the name suggests. It's a 5-minute drive (20 minute walk) to San Marco, which has cute stores, coffee shops, and restaurants.

For our "I'd like to rent an Airbnb close to the venue but also near stuff I can walk to" people
Look for rentals in San Marco, Avondale, or Riverside. All of these neighborhoods are 11 miles or less from the venue and have cute, walkable main street areas.
San Marco - 4 miles from the venue
Riverside - 8 miles from the venue
Avondale - 11 miles from the venue
For our "I want to feel the ocean breeze" people
It's great that you want to stay at the beach! Keep in mind that February may not be beach weather and you'll be far from weekend festivities. Traffic can be heavy when driving across town, so please plan for a 30-40 minute drive to the venue from these locations.
AIRBNB LOCATIONS*
Jacksonville Beach - 18 miles from the venue
Ponte Vedra Beach - 19 miles from the venue
Neptune & Atlantic Beach - 21 miles from the venue
*If you want to be beach side, look for rentals east of 3rd street

For our "Eh, I don't like those options. Got anything else?" people
If none of the above options appeal to you then we've got a tough crowd on our hands! Our last suggestion would be to look for hotels near the St. Johns Town Center. This area is home to hundreds of stores, dozens of restaurants, and a few hotels. All options are 9 miles from the venue and close to a major highway. Traffic is usually heavy in this highly commercial area.
