Situated in Fort George Island, FL, The Ribault Club is a historic venue that caters to weddings. A waterfront venue nestled in 100 acres of picturesque countryside, couples will find this country club to be a haven of tranquility and southern charm. With river views and an expanse of glorious greenery, this property will appeal to those seeking an intimate setting in a spectacular location.
The Ribault Club was initially established in 1928 to accommodate the wealthy and powerful people of the era. Designed by renowned Swiss architect Maurice Fatio, the building is included in the U.S. National Register of Historic Places. Now part of the Fort George Island Cultural State Park, the club has been restored to its original splendor and hosts special events and occasions. Guests can enjoy this waterfront location with activities such as kayaking, deep-sea fishing and horseback riding, or visit nearby Amelia Island.
Both indoor and outdoor event spaces are available within this 16,000 square foot property. Couples will fall in love with the venue's stunning architecture, original terrazzo floors, and soaring ceilings. Reaching up to 12ft, and flooded with sunlight from arched french doors, rooms feel airy and spacious. The club also offers a veranda, where couples can host their reception dinner or simply allow guests to mingle while enjoying the gorgeous Florida climate.
The Ribault Club can accommodate both intimate weddings and grander affairs with a capacity of 25-400 guests. The team allows couples to bring in outside caterers, providing them with access to two kitchens. They may also bring in their own selection of alcohol, without corkage fees. The venue can provide a set number of items such as chairs and tables. Drop-down screens are available should guests wish to show a video montage. The club can provide a list of vendors that they have worked with previously. This includes services such as bartenders, catering, rentals, and wedding attire, in addition to recommending a list of nearby accommodation locations. For couples who require assistance with the details, this site offers a wedding planning service with a choice of three packages.
The Ribault club was everything I dreamed of for my wedding! I would give the event space a 10/10. All of my guests loved it! And a wedding in November was the perfect weather. I did have issues with the wedding coordinator assigned to me by the venue. I feel like there was lack of communication, the coordinator was not used to working with a bride on a budget, and was not as helpful/involved as I would have liked for what I paid for ( I paid for the middle tier). I had to do most research and planning on my own because the coordinator had minimal recommendations. If I had to do it over again, I would book a coordinator just for the day of. Overall I loved the venue and my wedding turned out great! I would recommend the venue to any bride looking for a place to have their wedding Reviewed on 18-11-2023
Haley Nader(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 02-04-2022 I booked the Ribault Club 11 months ago and I was married 4/2/22. Since the day I met Ms. Marie (GM) and booked, I did not experience anything but support and full encouragement. No matter how many questions or concerns I had, Marie responded in a timely manner. Summer Perkins was my coordinator (she works for RC), and I can’t brag about her enough! Everything went more than smoothly. My wedding day was actually very rainy most of the time, and the gnats were horrible. BUT, after a lot of contemplation, I changed the ceremony from being outside to indoors. This was not my “dream” per say, but it was stunning. I don’t regret anything! Fortunately, we were able to go outside for the reception and I have been getting nonstop compliments about the beauty of the Ribault club, and how much fun my guests had regardless of the weather. I chose Ribault because I knew even if I had a “worst case scenario,” such as rain on my big day, the venue I would be big enough to accommodate. I ended up having at least 150 guests, and it worked out beautifully. I can’t thank the Ribault Club enough. I would do the exact day all over again. Also, the gnats go away after dark!

Brittany Soder(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 12-03-2022 The Ribault Club exceeded my expectations for any wedding venue. As someone who grew up in Florida, I know March weather can be unpredictable. I loved the flexibility of the full space. As a Saturday wedding we had the full grounds for our use and I loved knowing that if we needed to be inside, the French doors would allow the space to feel airy and natural. Luckily (even with a little chill and wind) our ceremony was able to happen outside under the beautiful oak tree. No matter the weather, if you book the Ribault Club, your wedding will be amazing. Along with an incredible space, the staff is amazing. Marie was incredible from day 1 of putting our deposit down, to our wedding day. Even her emails were perky and kind! We opted to work with Summer, the in-house wedding planner, and I have no idea how I would have managed without her. She was fantastic at contacting vendors, communicating what she needed from me and keeping me sane, especially in the last month. She went above and beyond to make our day perfect, from making sure a vendor would set up after some morning rain to helping add some last minute candles to our center pieces. I could go on forever about how awesome Summer and the whole Ribault Club was! Thank you!!!!! Reviewed on 20-03-2022
Catherine Love(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 12-12-2021 Where do I start! The Ribault Club is truly a hidden gem of Jacksonville. My now husband and I absolutely fell in love the first time we visited and compared all other venues to The Ribault Club. The large outdoor backyard, oak tree, and flexibility with bringing in vendors really allowed our wedding dreams to come true. Unfortunately we were a covid wedding and had to postpone from 2020 to 2021 and Marie and staff we so helpful and accommodating!

I have also attended several weddings there as guest. I DJed there again this past Saturday and it was a truly magical night. The venue features a number of great indoor and outdoor areas for dancing, eating, cocktail, etc. The dining hall is gorgeous with ample seating for groups large and small. The trees and nearby marsh are a photographic goldmine for capturing lifelong memories on film. The staff are a pleasure to deal with. Huge kudos to Summer, one of their in-house planners, for making sure my most recent event was nothing short of perfect.I could go on but rest assured that Ribault Club is truly a premier wedding and event venue in Northeast Florida!

Guests could not stop raving about how perfect and how unique of a setting it is! The areas for getting ready were perfect for my bridal party, and the groomsmen even had their own space with a bar to get ready in.

The old oaks draped in Spanish moss and palms with the historic club were just what we didn't realize we wanted for our wedding. The Ribault Club was easily one of our best vendors we worked with throughout the wedding planning process.

Becca Wucker(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 10-01-2020 We had our wedding at The Ribault Club on a Friday and it was even more perfect than we could have hoped. From our initial tour of the venue, it was love at first sight. We visited multiple times between that initial visit and our big day and were awe-struck by the natural beauty and the Old Florida feel of the estate every single time. The grand oak was the idyllic backdrop for our ceremony, and the ballroom was a lovely setting for our reception. We were looking for a venue that was both affordable and gorgeous, and The Ribault Club fit the bill flawlessly. We loved being able to pick our own vendors (hello, taco bar!) and having enough space to dance the night away. They also provided all of our tables and chairs, which really helped us in keeping the cost and additional vendor involvement to a minimum.The staff was always professional and warm to us. We mainly worked with Marie, Madi, and Deborah, who were all welcoming and accommodating. Emails and phone calls were always answered promptly. They were flexible with us and did their best to ensure our day went exactly as we pictured it. And last but not least, our day-of coordinator, Summer, knocked it out of the park. We went with the in-house coordination and it was one of the best decisions we made. She was so attentive and ensured our special day ran smoothly from start to finish. Her knowledge of the venue and her experience in wedding coordination were apparent from day one. We could not have had such a perfect, stress-free experience without her, and we are beyond grateful for her and the whole Ribault Club staff.If you’re considering The Ribault Club as your wedding venue, you can’t go wrong with them. The grounds alone guarantee a gorgeous wedding and their staff will make sure you have a beautiful, unique day! Reviewed on 14-01-2020

We also loved the fact that we can pick and choose our own vendors so we can incorporate our own taste.

liz peek(wedding party)1 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 20-02-2019 While the venue was a beautifully preserved southern style plantation with a nature preserve set as a backdrop, the staff (specifically the wedding coordinator) was ill prepared, uninformed and incompetent. Susan, the coordinator for our special day just added unnecessary stress and confusion. I highly recommend anyone considering this venue to try and book a private, separate coordinator than the one suggested by the venue. Reviewed on 19-12-2017
Jessica Pfortmiller(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 30-09-2017 Absolutely LOVED getting married at the Ribault Club. The price was inexpensive in comparison to most Jacksonville venues, and you just can't beat the charm of the live oak tree, spacious ballroom, and open windows. The ONLY downside of the entire experience was hurricane Irma bringing in lots of mosquitos. Unfortunately mosquito treatment is not included in the cost of the venue's maintenance fees, so we had to come out of pocket for that. Again though, this was a minor issue. Chelsi was great in helping us to secure the venue/rehearsal time and during our final walk-through. She was thorough and always answered my e-mails in a timely manner. We had the most amazing wedding. Would definitely recommend this venue to other engaged couples in the area. Reviewed on 03-10-2017
Marissa H(bride)1 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 08-09-2017 I unfortunately was one of the few who had a wedding that was impacted by hurricane irma. However I have never seen such unprofessionalism in a venue before . Specifically the manager Chrissy is not the most pleasant and seemed to care less about my feelings . I was informed 24 hours before my wedding day that the venue would be closed and my wedding had to be canceled. Unfortunately I was informed via email in an unsympathetic manner. Not even a recommendation of what I could do in this type of emergency, or even suggestions for rescheduling . She just like that left us hanging with little to no notice . We weren't even reassured that we would be getting our money back. It was beyond unprofessional and I wouldn't recommend this venue to anyone. Luckily our wedding was moved to a far more beautiful location and we had an extraordinary wedding at the winterbourn inn. I couldn't be happier that the ribault club canceled on us, it was a blessing in disguise. Reviewed on 10-09-2017

Renee Haynes(bride)4 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 15-10-2016 The Ribault Club is a perfect venue for couples who wish to have a unique wedding. With little supplied and hardly any rules regarding vendors, it's easy to make your day custom to you. I did choose a coordinator package with the club but in hindsight I don't think it was really worth it. I also didn't care for the \"relief\" coordinator who was supposedly in charge of breaking down my decor but instead watched my maid of honor and her mom do all the work. She even made ME (the BRIDE) take trash out to the dumpster down by the road because we could not leave anything in the club. The staff was very helpful with preparing for the wedding but not so much with breaking it down. Overall, the Ribault Club was a great venue and I would recommend it to other engaged friends.

Monique Riles(bride)4 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 24-07-2015 We hosted our wedding at the Ribault Club on Friday, July 24th 2015. After looking at well over 15 venues throughout the greater Jacksonville and St. Augustine area we settled on this venue for the price and flexibility. The Ribault Club is hands down the most affordable venue in Jacksonville and includes Chivari chairs, tables, and a beautiful backdrop to make any vision come to life. With the flexibility given, we book a Friday event to cut the price in half and then loved that we were able to bring in our own food and decorations. We ended up having a food truck which was an unbelievable hit, so delicious, and such a money saver! Overall, I give the club 5 stars for the location, ample parking, price, and value included within the rental fee. Where my review drops is the people you will have to interact with at the club to make your vision come to life. Chrissy, the one and only event manager currently on staff, was distant and difficult at times. It was frustrating not being able to get the answers I needed to have peace of mind for our event which is the job of a venue event manager. I regret having to write this in a review but want others to be aware. Should this overlooked? I would say absolutely! Despite the customer service and lack of response, it was still the best venue choice and our wedding was so GORGEOUS! I wouldn't change anything in the world. Just be prepared to put in a little more effort with this vendor than with others you may book. I hope this is helpful in making your upcoming wedding decisions! Reviewed on 15-09-2015
Courtney Malcolm(bride)4 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 27-06-2015 The Ribault Club was beautiful for my wedding. They are very flexible and allowed me to customize my wedding in every way by hiring my own vendors. The space was perfect for both the ceremony and the reception. There were a couple of drawbacks to be aware of when booking The Ribault Club. My wedding was in June. It was very hot inside the reception hall. Our reception was from 7pm-11pm, and it remained very hot even with the air on. Our cake ended up melting because of the heat and I was very sad about that. The other thing to be aware of is the bugs. There are a lot of bugs outside, so I recommend a bug spray station for your guests. Tip- Hire vendors that are very familiar with working with this site and who are familiar with working with each other! The wedding planner comes highly recommended, but honestly she caused me a lot of unnecessary stress on the day of the wedding and I would not use her again. Overall, I would recommend the Ribault Club for a spring, fall, or winter wedding and with an outside wedding planner. Reviewed on 19-07-2015
Kathryn Dresner(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 01-11-2014 We found the Ribault Club to be the perfect location for our outdoor wedding in early November, 110+ guests. There was ample space for the bridal party to get ready. Ceremony under the tree was perfect. Lorna was our contact, she was fabulous and clearly had a handle on everything. \r\rWhen weather became a challenge, the variety of rooms made for great backups. Lorna worked well with our vendors (brought our own alcohol, Chef's Garden for catering, Brooke Raulerson and Aubri Bleil at Artistic Florist for floral and day-of planning, Christina Karst Photography, St. John's Illuminations lit the trees and dance floor, and Casey Powell and Sara Jane Maples at Modern Classic Beauty for hair and makeup) and she gave good advice and structure at our pre-wedding meeting. Ultimately, our guests were blown away with the beautiful setting. \r\rCons: roads to the island were a challenge.\r\rPros: Gorgeous, ambiance, size, indoor/outdoor, historic, natural, southern charm, flexible and accommodating.

Amanda Jones(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 11-11-2012 The Ribault Club is the perfect venue for a wedding if you are looking for something intimate and naturally beautiful. The isolated location provides intimacy and the mixture of giant oak trees, palm trees (and path to the water) is so naturally beautiful you won't need to jazz-up the place with over the top decor and flowers.\r\rHotels and banquet halls pale in comparison to this place. We had our ceremony outside under the tree, the dance floor outside under strings of lights and the food stations and dining tables both inside and out providing a relaxed, comfortable atmosphere where everyone could mingle about.\r\rThe Ribault Club provides a gorgeous backdrop for every single photo taken during the wedding. Between the charm of the building itself and the richness of being surrounded by nature (not cars, streets, and more buildings), beautiful photos are effortless.\r\rThe staff and wedding coordinator are beyond helpful and do everything in their power to make your day special. Their attention to detail is phenomenal. Our girls got ready in the several rooms upstairs while the groomsmen had a room downstairs. It was the perfect set up all the way around. You will start and finish your wedding day stress free. I had so much FUN that day thanks to the staff at Ribault Club. Reviewed on 02-12-2012

Crystal Anderson(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 15-04-2012 The Ribault Club's beauty speaks for itself. The grounds are incredible and the clubhouse is just perfect, especially for brides who want a Southern plantation feel. The space is large enough for a large wedding, but small enough for a smaller wedding, because different areas can be used. Lorna and Chrissy, the coordinators there, are wonderful. They were always responsive, which is helpful for couples like us who were planning from out of town. Lorna and Chrissy were also knowledgable, experienced, and provided a lot of suggestions and advice. We got married on Sunday, which was a better value. I only gave a lower rating on flexibility because being in a state park, it seemed hands were tied on certain regulations and restrictions. The only other downfall of the Club is that it is quite far from guest accommodations. We were initially worried about the long drive for our guests, but it was not a problem. It also feels more private because it is on state park land so is secluded by trees. I highly recommend this beautiful venue. Reviewed on 10-05-2012

Despite the high cost it will charge you 'vendor fees.' For example you book a $500 dance floor but the Ribault will charge you an extra $150 to get it put in their building. Also if you're wedding is on Saturday everything has to be out by Sunday morning which will make all of your vendors much more expensive.
