North Florida wedding venue & private estate
Two distinct venues, a private 20-acre estate, and an unforgettable wedding weekend unlike anything else in North Florida.
WHy Couples choose the woods
Two Venues,
One Experience
Your wedding unfolds across two distinct private properties, from the 20-acre Casa Blanca Villa to an unforgettable reception and after-party at The Woods.
Stay Together at Casa Blanca
Turn your wedding into a true destination experience with a private estate that sleeps up to 14 of your closest friends and family, just minutes from The Woods.
An Entire
Wedding Weekend
More than a wedding day. Get ready together, celebrate your rehearsal, say “I do,” dance into the night, and come back together for a farewell brunch.
Celebrate Long After
“I Do”
Your reception doesn’t have to end when the clock strikes 10. Wedding Weekend couples can keep the celebration going with an after-party until 2 AM.
