Epping Forest is an elegant, historic estate that makes a stunning venue for a wedding or event. From their beautiful outside spaces to their unique indoor space to the amazing staff, Epping is a top destination for weddings in Jacksonville.

{THE CEREMONY}

The lush, English gardens that overlook the St. John’s River are a perfect place for a ceremony.

We love draping garland in this area to add a special touch to the ceremony.

We love when brides choose to add flowers to the large urn. It just adds more of their personality and style to an already gorgeous ceremony site.

{THE RECEPTION}

Epping has scenic outdoor spaces that can be used for a reception. We love all the different ways our brides have used these spaces.

Who wouldn’t want a head table with lush garland below the twinkling stars?

Or a lovely banquet table under twinkling lights.

No matter your style the outside area at Epping is a breathtaking place for a reception.

The mansion is also a place of beauty and elegance that can be transformed to suit the brides style.

The Mansion also makes for a beautiful backdrop for pictures with your squad or new spouse.
