FAQ'S
Do you offer tastings?
Yes! Connect with your Sales Manager regarding options for in-person tastings. For clients that are not traveling to the location prior to your event, we can work with you on customized menu options and our seasonal offerings.
Do you allow holds before securing a venue with contract and deposit?
It is our pleasure to allow for courtesy holds while you browse through your venue options. Please note that these holds are a special consideration only and do not guarantee the venue for you. Please call the Sales office at 904.432.7650 to discuss available dates, the hold status of each date, and the proposal process. Holds are intended to be temporary, and once a held date is challenged by another party with a contract, we are limited to 48 business hours to secure with a contract and successful payment.
Do you require event rental insurance?
We do not require our clients to obtain event insurance. However, we strongly encourage it in the case of potential circumstances that may occur which are beyond our control. We recommend contacting your existing insurance broker to discuss options or considering a specialized company.
How do room blocks at The Floirda House Inn work?
The Inn offers 17 charming guest rooms including a bridal suite. In order to reserve a room block, a master credit card must be on file to secure the guest rooms. Your guests may then call in individually to select their preferred guest room. All rooms must be secured one month prior to arrival date. 30 days prior to the arrival date, the Innkeeper will reach out to confirm all reservations and any additional rooms not booked will be released and available to the public, unless you prefer the Inn be private- we can charge the additional rooms at a discounted rate to the master credit card.
What services do you offer in house? What additional vendors can we bring in?
We are the exclusive food and beverage vendor for all in-house events. All venues have a kitchen on site. We are happy to provide menu consultations, in-person or via web, to create your perfect event menu. SHG is a fully licensed establishment offering a variety of bar packages priced per-person for the duration of your event. We also offer additional services including event+ floral design and event coordination. All other rentals may be sourced from a vendor of your preference and managed by your event coordinator. We do have a Preferred Vendor List that we are happy to share once your event is booked.
What is included in the venue rental fee?
The property rental fee entitles you to exclusive use of the venue and grounds for a 4-hour event and includes flexible vendor arrival times/setup hours and a 2-hour breakdown, post event. Additional time may be added to your event for an additional charge.
Can we book multiple events at your different venues?
Yes, we are more than happy to accommodate various events at our different venues (Example: Rehearsal Dinner/ Welcome Party at The Florida House Inn) followed by Ceremony and Reception at The Ocean Club of Amelia). We do offer a 15% discount off the second venue rental fee.
