    What a beautiful place! I would never have known about Bowing Oaks if not for a Florida Theatre-sponsored event. The grounds are immaculate, and the various areas are so well coordinated. I knew when the event stated it was at Bowing Oaks, it was a must-go. The only problem was that it didn't last long enough for me and my friends. It was so enjoyable. I would definitely recommend Bowing Oaks as an event space for small or large-scale events.

    Through the windshield, in the rain, as attendees were required to have Cocktails on the patio, with no heaters in 50 degree rainy weather.

    I attended a wedding at Bowing Oaks Plantation. It was gorgeous yes, but the yoga-pants wearing wedding coordinator was horribly unaccomodating. I felt awful for the bride & groom. Unexpectedly 50 degree rainy windy weather, and Bowing Oaks made no attempt at making the guests comfortable. They held the wedding ceremony under a pergola, with NO propane heaters for what was very unexpected weather for 100 guests. The wedding coordinator then insisted everyone wait outside, in rainy weather, so there could be pictures taken of the tables, instead of capturing them prior to people arriving. Nevermind that all the guests were freezing outside, as rain fell, many guests without winter coats. Clearly, Bowing Oaks cared more about a contract(maybe) than the comfort of individual guests. But word of mouth goes a long way and a few propane heaters would have gone a LONG way to happy attendees, than annoyed guests who were kicked out of the reception hall, where people simply went to escape the wind, rain and cold temps. I know I won't ever hold an event there, nor support any family member in doing so. Unfortunate and disappointing, on so many levels.

    We came to Bowing Oaks Plantation for a friends elegant rustic country style wedding and had a blast! Bowing Oaks Plantation is located on 5 acres in the historic Bayard area of South Jacksonville, Florida and features the perfect balance of country ambiance and modern elegance for a wedding. There is a large list of event caterers to choose from so there is an ample variety of food styles to match anyones particular tastes. This wedding was catered by Mojo Barbeque who had quite a nice variety of 6 sauces and 3 kinds of barbeque meats. The bartenders and staff were quick, friendly, and knowledgeable. The centerpiece of the property is a 6,000 square foot event venue with the aesthetic look of a country barn but all the modern conveniences for you and your guests. The heated and cooled 3,400 square foot Oak Ballroom can accommodate up to 200 guests with an unparalleled sense of rustic elegance. The barn also features handicap accessible restrooms, two spacious lounge/dressing areas for the wedding party and a large catering kitchen. Bowing Oaks Amenities include: Wrap-Around Porches and Large Patio Area, Two Outdoor Ceremony Sites Surrounded By Beautiful Oak Trees, Two Spacious Dressing Rooms/Lounges For The Wedding Party, Catering Kitchen With Coolers And Oven, Indoor Restroom Facilities, Ample On-Site Parking, Secluded And Private Location, Minutes From I-95, I-295 And 9b In South Jacksonville. Unfortunately, no overnight parking is allowed and the closest hotel to here is 10-20 minutes away.

    Heather especially was very professional to work with, she helped with our final walk through in planning all of the little details and table arrangements.
