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 Italian American Club of Jacksonville is a member organization and event venue established in 1951 to promote Italian heritage, culture, and community service. The club traces its roots to the early 1920s, when a group of immigrants formed a social gathering dedicated to Italian arts, family, and tradition. The clubhouse sits in the Mandarin neighborhood of Jacksonville, at 2838 Westberry Road. Built in 1978 and renovated in recent years, the hall accommodates up to 125 guests for private events including weddings, anniversaries, and birthday parties. Throughout the year, the club hosts its own signature events — monthly dinners, seasonal dances, and the annual Festa Italiana, which opens to the broader community each October. The space is run entirely by volunteers and is available to rent for private celebrations, offering a relaxed and welcoming setting rooted in Italian tradition.
