Ocean Club of Amelia, Amelia Island FL

Attended a wedding here and it was a nightmare. NO AIR CONDITIOING, think hot everywhere all the time unless you are lucky enough to catch breeze over the dunes. With the exception of the bathroom. A few old dates ceiling fans was the extend of their cooling plans. Really tight quarters in a dated building with a single file nightmarish walk to the beach. The food was cold- ice cold and parking is a nightmare. Odd people roaming the beach behind the couple getting married and the public beach parking located next to the wedding location provided extra entertainment. There were no placards at the bar so you had to guess what they had to drink. It must be crazy cheap because that’s what it’s worth. If you crave a small venue in a retirement town, this is your place. Oh by the way, they have their own version of Ramon’s from the movie the proposal. He’s the DJ, wedding official and anything else apparently.

I was recently got married a week ago. The only reason I give 4 stars is parking is not convenient for guests having to risk vehicles getting towed at the expense of me when we had already went way over our budget due to underlying fees. However, the venue was beautiful. We were able to fit 60 people and social distance. It was great! The view is amazing on the lawn and the balcony. In 95 degree weather felt like 65 because its near the water. The ceremony was on the lawn and reception in the balcony. The chef that caters from sliders is the bomb.com. Thanks to my wedding planner (Nyazar Events) officiant (Fred Boracove), and Taylor on behalf of Ocean club for making this best day ever!

Great place, the staff are fantastic! The only bad aspect was the gentleman at the front desk. He was crass and somewhat rude!
