The Lightner Museum is one of St. Augustine's most breathtaking wedding venues — a former Alcazar Hotel built in 1888 with that stunning ballroom that used to be the world's largest indoor swimming pool. The Spanish Renaissance architecture, Moorish details, and incredible acoustics make it unforgettable. But you don't need to spend a fortune on entertainment to have an amazing wedding there. AE Entertainment provides professional DJ services at Lightner Museum starting at just $800. We bring quality sound equipment, experienced DJs, and zero attitude. We've worked at Lightner and understand the venue — the ballroom acoustics, the courtyard ceremonies, the flow from cocktails to reception.

Real Wedding: Tony & Sam, May 2026
We handled the music start to finish for Tony & Sam: a ceremony violinist, then Corey emceed and played sax for the reception. The live band was Be Easy; later in the night Corey joined them on stage for a few sax solos. Ceremony under cream draping in the rotunda, washed in deep-blue uplighting. Sparkler send-off out the Alcazar door.
