Fiesta at the Columbia
Historic St. Augustine Reception Package
The Columbia Restaurant is one of the oldest and most famous restaurants in Florida. Combine that with the beauty of the historic district of St. Augustine, and you have the perfect option for your destination wedding and reception. We offer an all-inclusive package for this location that gives our couples the choice of a ceremony at the Castillo de San Marcos or on the beach at Anastasia State Park. Both of these ceremony locations are ideal options on our coast.
Anastasia State Park is just miles away from the historic district. The beaches here are traditionally very deep, with sea oats and white sand. The St. Augustine Lighthouse can also be viewed in the distance and is a great backdrop for photography. This is one of our most photogenic beaches. Parking here is amazing and caters to any size group.
Castillo de San Marcos is the oldest masonry fort in the United States. Overlooking the inlet into St. Augustine, this location is absolutely stunning in photography. If you are looking for water in the backdrop but off the sand, this is the perfect spot for you.
