A Chapel Steeped in History: Celebrate Your Wedding at the Beaches Museum in Jacksonville Beach

Tucked into the heart of Jacksonville Beach lies a venue unlike any other—a place where history, romance, and community come together in perfect harmony. The Beaches Museum Chapel, managed by Monica Bernhardt, is more than just a wedding venue; it’s a local treasure, lovingly preserved and full of stories that echo through generations.

⛪ A Historic Gem on the Coast

What makes the Beaches Museum so unique? It starts with the history of the chapel itself. This beloved building has been an integral part of the Jacksonville Beach community for decades. Originally built in the early 20th century, the chapel has been moved three times and served as part of two different schools over the years.

Many long-time residents fondly remember the chapel as the site of their baptisms, first communions, and even weddings—and now, it’s ready to be the setting for your love story, too.

“It’s truly a part of the beaches experience,” says Venue Manager Monica Bernhardt.
“You’re not just getting a venue—you’re stepping into a piece of local history.”

Monica works closely with each couple to ensure the process is smooth, the space is ready, and the details are just right—so you can focus on what matters most: celebrating your love.

Whether you’re planning an intimate ceremony or a heartfelt vow renewal, the charm of this venue shines through in every moment.

📝 Monica’s Pro Tip for Booking a Venue

Before you book your dream venue, Monica has one piece of advice that every couple should consider:

“Know your guest list before you book. You want everyone to feel comfortable—and that means making sure your space matches your guest count.”

The chapel offers an intimate, cozy setting that’s perfect for smaller weddings and meaningful gatherings. But like any venue, size matters—so make sure you know how many loved ones you plan to invite before you lock in your space.
