The people who make events easy here.
We have an open catering policy - bring any licensed caterer you like. But if you'd rather not hunt, start here. These are local businesses we recommend to clients, with a phone number and a link so you can go straight to them. You book them directly.
Catering
Moe's Original BBQ
Southern barbecue - smoked meats, house-made sides and sauces. Order prepackaged trays for pickup, or send a custom request for a larger event.
Tulip Café
Fresh pastries, coffee, crepes and sandwiches. An easy fit for brunches, showers, and morning meetings.
Effina's Tuscan Grill
Italian, priced per person - lunch boxes, pasta service, and plated dinners, plus on-site grilling and fish frying if you want it cooked here.

Lofts on Ladiga
Designer loft suites with fireplaces and full kitchens, right on the Historic Square - directly across the road from The Roost and walkable to JSU. Book online and check yourself in, no front desk and no waiting. One-bedroom up to four-bedroom layouts, so a wedding party can take the whole building.
Hampton Inn Jacksonville
Far more rooms than the lofts, which makes it the answer for a big wedding party, a room block, or a touring band. Just outside downtown.
