Tucked along the peaceful marshes and Intracoastal Waterway, Walker’s Landing offers one of the most picturesque waterfront wedding settings on Amelia Island. Part of Omni Amelia Island Resort & Spa, this venue combines natural beauty with the ease and luxury of a full-service resort experience.
Couples can exchange vows beneath moss-draped oaks, on the oversized octagonal deck, or inside the modern-rustic facility. No matter where you say “I do”, panoramic marsh views create the perfect backdrop for couples wanting a relaxed, yet refined, event.
With resort accommodations, catering, spa services, and wedding coordination all available onsite, Walker’s Landing allows couples and guests to fully soak in the whole weekend.
Set along the peaceful Intracoastal Waterway, The Preserve at The Amelia River Club blends natural beauty with a private, relaxed atmosphere that feels worlds away from the everyday.
Sweeping marsh views, grand water oaks, and unforgettable sunsets create a stunning setting for ceremonies and receptions alike. The Cape Cod–inspired venue offers soaring truss ceilings and expansive slider doors that seamlessly connect indoor and outdoor spaces, while more than 10,000 square feet of event space provides endless possibilities for personalization.
Surrounded by wide-open green spaces, The Preserve creates an elegant setting for either indoor or outdoor celebrations.
For couples dreaming of a secluded Southern estate wedding, Sugar Pointe Estate offers an enchanting off-island option just minutes from Amelia Island but seemingly world’s away.

The estate offers multiple settings for celebrations, including the Estate House, the “Sugar Shack” Barn, the Boat House, and beautifully manicured pastures – all overlooking the Bells River and marsh.
Every corner of Sugar Pointe Estate feels peaceful, timeless, and filled with Southern character.
