The Venue

The Santa Maria is a Spanish-colonial inspired venue in the heart of historic St. Marys, Georgia - just a short drive from Jacksonville, Florida, and minutes from JIA International Airport and nearby hotels.

Steps from the Cumberland Island ferry, our timber-framed hall - crafted from local pine - offers the charm of old-world Spain with the ease of modern amenities. Guests enjoy a welcoming courtyard and comfortable suites for wedding parties or event hosts, creating a memorable setting for weddings, celebrations, and gatherings of every kind.
