Wedding Venue

Ponte Vedra Inn and Club

Ponte Vedra Beach, FL

Ponte Vedra Inn & Club is one of Florida's most gracious and enduring private resort clubs — a 1928 oceanfront resort in the affluent Ponte Vedra Beach community, minutes from TPC Sawgrass, that has served as a premier destination for golf, leisure, and celebrations for nearly a century. Its Atlantic beachfront ceremony lawn, historic white-frame clubhouse architecture, legendary golf courses, multiple ballroom settings, and the particular refinement of the Ponte Vedra Beach community create a wedding atmosphere of understated luxury and genuine old-Florida grace. For couples who appreciate heritage, quiet elegance, and a resort that has been perfecting hospitality since the 1920s, there is no better address.

Sunset times are calculated for this venue's coordinates, shown in EDT for the 15th of each month in 2026. Golden hour is the 60 minutes before sunset. The ceremony start is my rule of thumb — about 2 hours before sunset, so a short ceremony and family photos still leave the two of you in golden light. Adjust it to your own timeline. Average temperatures and rainfall are NOAA 1991–2020 normals from JACKSONVILLE BEACH, 3.3 miles away.
