Cedar Bay Retreat is an outdoor riverfront garden estate situated on a wooded three-acre parcel along the north bank of Cedar Bay in North Jacksonville, Florida. Cedar Bay is a shallow fish and wildlife estuary formed by the Broward River, a tributary of the St. Johns River, lending the property a natural, serene character that sets it apart from more urban event settings. The retreat opened its grounds for weddings and events in Spring 2015 and is owned and managed by Ministerio Renacer Inc., a not-for-profit organization. The property hosts ceremonies on its lush green lawns beneath a canopy of tall trees, cocktail hours on the open-air concrete patio, and receptions under a large covered porch that runs along the waterfront. Outdoor capacity reaches several hundred guests across the lawn, patio, and porch, while a smaller indoor area accommodates more intimate gatherings. Outside caterers are welcome, and the venue is handicap accessible with on-site WiFi and parking. All visits and event tours are by appointment.

The Golf Club of Amelia Island occupies a distinctive setting on Florida's northeastern coast — an 18-hole championship course designed by PGA Tour veterans Mark McCumber and Gene Littler, with fairways winding through palms, pines, and oaks alongside Atlantic Ocean views. The club sits adjacent to the Ritz-Carlton Amelia Island and welcomes private events with no membership required. Event spaces at the clubhouse range from intimate gatherings to celebrations of up to 250 guests.

The Fireplace Room accommodates larger gatherings indoors, while the Main Dining Room offers a more intimate setting with views of the Terrace and fairway. A separate Beach Club — located directly off the Atlantic — provides an oceanfront backdrop for events of a different character. The club handles catering in-house, crafting menus for everything from cocktail parties and rehearsal dinners to corporate meetings, fundraisers, and weddings. WiFi and wheelchair accessibility are available throughout the property.

Tampa Theatre is a historic nonprofit movie palace in downtown Tampa, Florida, operating at 711 N. Franklin Street since its opening on October 15, 1926. Designed by renowned atmospheric theatre architect John Eberson for Paramount Pictures, it stands today as the world's most complete and best-preserved example of Eberson's signature atmospheric style — a design that evokes a moonlit Mediterranean courtyard, complete with twinkling stars overhead, old-world statuary, gargoyles, and ornate architectural detail. Eberson himself considered Tampa Theatre his personal favorite among the atmospheric theatres he designed. After facing demolition in 1973, the building was saved through a community-led preservation effort and purchased by the City of Tampa. It reopened in January 1977, was named to the National Register of Historic Places in 1978, and has since become a national model for historic theatre preservation. The venue is managed by the not-for-profit Tampa Theatre, Inc. under a long-term agreement with the City. Today the theatre hosts more than 600 events annually — including first-run and classic films, live concerts, special events, and corporate gatherings — across two cinema spaces: the historic 1,252-seat main auditorium and the intimate 43-seat John T. Taylor Screening Room, which opened in 2024 as the theatre's first expansion in nearly a century. The main auditorium is available for private event rental for concerts, film screenings, meetings, and presentations.
