I came to Epping Forest Yacht Club yesterday evening for a private event. It is hard to find one negative of my visit. Security was cordial and quick. They had ample parking. The ground are just gorgeous! The mansion is beautiful and I love how they have decorated it for Christmas. You will see multiple Christmas trees and I saw presents wrapped. I participated in a happy hour there and the bartender was great. He made a strong old fashioned and the other two drinks were made well. The service from the other folks was top notch. They pay attention to you without being on top of you. I ate a garden salad that was well presented and tasted fine. The beef was cooked to my request with very well made asparagus. The tastiest dish was the cheesecake. It was really really good. I am sure they host other types of events and while I have no clue what pricing is, take a look at Epping!

Dan and the team at Epping Forest Yacht Club have been incredible in supporting us over the years, through such incredible moments of celebration, and turbulent times of loss. This is a community of family, friends, and support more than you could ever imagine, but I'll try to paint you a picture with words: My wife's family has been members here since she was a baby, including the Ponte Vedra Inn and Club at the beach. My father-in-law formed career-lasting relationships here, her Mom found the best friends and supporters to guide her through her cancer battle, and I walked in and was welcomed like an old friend coming home. My wife had one of her first jobs working at the daycare, and getting promoted to the position of Children Services Director... which has translated into a wonderful teaching career for her! Over the past few years we've built some wonderful memories together: running sprints out by the marina, dinners with family and friends in the mansion, crushing workouts in the gym, and special get-togethers with fellow members and friends... and of course taking our vows! Stop in, say hello, walk out onto the lawn for a beautiful and peaceful sunset. You'll see. It's special :)

I was a bridesmaid in a wedding that took place last night, and I am still blown away by how gorgeous the venue is and how well-thought-out every detail of the experience was for everyone involved. The scenery is to die for, and since the wedding ceremony happened right before sunset we got to watch the sky light up with crazy-beautiful colors over the water during cocktail hour. Both the green space outdoors and the mansion inside are stunning, and the staff were quick and quiet and attentive and made sure all of the guests were happy and well taken care of. It's honestly hard to put in words how great of an experience it was, so I'm just going to attach some photos instead!

Courtney Hassan and her team exceeded our expectations of the wedding. She was so detailed and maintained contact every other week and almost daily as the special day approached. During our ceremony, photo shoot, cake cutting and reception, we had Brittany as our bridal attendant throughout the entire night to assist us with anything we needed. "1 minute of planning saves 2 minutes of execution" and Courtney executed the whole wedding with ease and perfection! If you're on the fence about "this might be too much" or "it's too expensive." All I can say is do your research in the area and compare. It's no mistake that the venue is highly advertised by TheKnot or WeddingWire. I've attached a few photos for your viewing pleasure. Thank you once again, Courtney!

The food is amazing and there are few river-view restaurants in Jax that compare from a view perspective. It's members only unless you are there for an event, so make some friends with Epping members or join yourself. If you're in the area, the pool, gym, and other amenities are well worth the expense to join.

Phemoninal experience, touring this beautiful venue for our potential wedding venue. So much history , scenery and kind -helpful staff. Look forward to perusing for our special day!

Been here six times & must say service is outstanding, food is very good overall. Old mansion well updated; like it much; grounds are truly beautiful too. Parking can be challenging sometimes.

What, a yacht club? In Jacksonville? Not on the ocean? Ok, sure, this IS Florida . . . All lame jokes aside, this place is a great events venue. If I had a large budget, I would absolutely host a company party or wedding or other large formal gathering here. The grounds in the back are well manicured and there are some *ahem* nice boats at the dock. I had a chance to chat with the service staff who are younger but friendly and they mentioned a South Asian (that's me!) event complete with fire performers and a market and it sounded like a great way to utilize the space. The catered food I ate during the meeting I attended was well prepared AND well presented. I feel like I need to go to the symphony (again).

I am a sucker for old mansions built by billionaires on the water. Beyond the allure of old money, is the modern day transformation of what WAS to what is. What Epping Forest IS is still lovely. Weddings can't help but look picture perfect in this setting. The mansion still stands with its old world charm, sitting in the gorgeous crook of the St. John's River. The wheelhouse is there too. A relic and a testament to the man who built a fortune and this estate. The community center has a large swimming pool with a cool slide, friendly and ever watchful lifeguards and equally efficient staff. There was even live poolside music on Sunday. Delightful. If I had a yacht, this is where both it and I would choose to live.

You can't go wrong with this place. Been here a few times for events and they do a wonderful job making you feel lkie you are part of the family.
