Wedding Venue

The Ritz-Carlton Amelia Island

Amelia Island, Jacksonville

The Ritz-Carlton Amelia Island occupies one of the most naturally beautiful oceanfront settings of any Ritz-Carlton in the Southeast — a low-profile luxury resort nestled among sea oats and dunes on Amelia Island's pristine Atlantic shoreline, where the brand's legendary service standard meets one of Florida's most genuinely unspoiled coastal environments. Beach ceremony access, an oceanfront terrace overlooking the rolling surf, multiple elegant ballrooms, Forbes Five Star service, and the island's unhurried natural beauty create a destination wedding experience at the absolute pinnacle of quality available anywhere in the Jacksonville-Northeast Florida market.
