The Wedding Planning Reality

Let's be honest: wedding planning can be overwhelming. Between coordinating multiple vendors, managing budgets, tracking deposits, and making countless decisions, what should be one of the happiest times in your life can quickly become stressful. That's where an all-inclusive wedding package at 9 Aviles changes everything.

Located in the heart of historic St. Augustine on America's oldest street, 9 Aviles offers comprehensive all-inclusive packages that eliminate the guesswork, reduce stress, and allow you to actually enjoy your engagement instead of drowning in logistics.

What "All-Inclusive" Really Means at 9 Aviles

When we say "all-inclusive," we mean it. Our packages are thoughtfully designed to cover every essential element of your wedding day:

  • Venue Rental: Your ceremony and reception space in our stunning historic building
  • Professional DJ & Lighting: State-of-the-art sound system with interactive dance lighting
  • Full Catering Service: Delicious menu options from our trusted partners
  • Bar Service: Professional bartender with glassware and service
  • Decor Package: Beautiful table settings, linens, chargers, flatware, and candles
  • Day-of Coordination: We're here to ensure everything runs smoothly

Instead of juggling contracts with 8-10 different vendors, you work with one team who coordinates everything. One contract. One payment schedule. One point of contact.

The Hidden Time-Saver: Pre-Vetted Vendor Relationships

Here's what most couples don't realize: finding and vetting vendors takes enormous amounts of time. Reading reviews, scheduling consultations, comparing packages, negotiating prices—it adds up to weeks or even months of work.

With our all-inclusive packages, we've already done that work for you. We've built relationships with the best caterers, bartenders, and service providers in St. Augustine. These aren't random vendors—they're professionals we've worked with countless times who understand our venue and our standards.

More importantly, they work together seamlessly. Your caterer knows the kitchen layout, your bartender understands the bar setup, and your DJ is familiar with our incredible lighting system. This coordination creates a smooth, professional experience on your wedding day.

Budget Transparency: No Surprises

One of the biggest stressors in wedding planning is budget uncertainty. You get a quote from a venue, then discover you need to add catering, rentals, lighting, coordination... and suddenly your $10,000 wedding costs $20,000.

Our all-inclusive pricing eliminates this problem. When you receive our quote, that's your actual wedding cost (minus alcohol, which you provide). No hidden fees. No surprise vendor minimums. No discovering in month eight of planning that you forgot to budget for table linens.

This transparency allows you to plan with confidence and avoid the financial anxiety that plagues so many couples during the wedding planning process.

The Historic St. Augustine Advantage

Choosing an all-inclusive package at 9 Aviles means more than simplified planning—it means getting married in one of America's most romantic settings. Our venue sits on Aviles Street, the oldest continuously occupied street in the United States, in the heart of St. Augustine's historic district.

The building itself dates back over 100 years, featuring authentic brick walls, exposed wooden beams, and architectural details that create natural beauty. This historic elegance means you don't need to spend thousands on decorations to transform the space—it's already stunning.

Your guests will love exploring the surrounding historic district, with its cobblestone streets, Spanish colonial architecture, world-class restaurants, and unique shops all within walking distance.

Perfect for Intimate Celebrations

9 Aviles specializes in intimate weddings of 50 guests or fewer. This isn't just a capacity limit—it's our specialty. We've designed our space and services specifically for couples who want a meaningful celebration with their closest loved ones rather than a massive event.

Our all-inclusive packages are scaled perfectly for this guest count, which means you're not paying for services designed for 200-person weddings. Everything is right-sized for your intimate celebration, from catering quantities to bar service to decor elements.

The Personal Touch: Working with Dave & Christy

Unlike larger venues with rotating event coordinators, when you choose 9 Aviles, you work directly with owners Dave and Christy. This personal relationship makes all the difference.

Dave handles your initial consultation, proposal, and logistics, bringing his engineering background to ensure every detail is organized and executed flawlessly. Christy, an artist and designer, oversees the aesthetic elements and day-of coordination, ensuring your vision comes to life beautifully.

They're invested in your wedding because it's their venue, their reputation, and their passion. You're not just another event on a coordinator's calendar—you're working with people who genuinely care about creating your perfect day.

Real Couples, Real Relief

"My husband and I recently had our wedding ceremony and reception at 9 Aviles and it was the wedding of our dreams!! Dave & Christy were an absolute DREAM to work with and made the planning process SO easy. You can tell they truly care about their couples and love what they do." - Carly

This sentiment is echoed by couple after couple. The stress-free planning process isn't just marketing—it's the actual experience of working with our team and choosing an all-inclusive package.
