Professional DJ service for your White Room wedding in St. Augustine - starting at just $800. The White Room's all-inclusive model means you get a stunning venue without vendor markup, and our budget-friendly pricing keeps your entertainment affordable too.
AE Entertainment is a preferred wedding DJ at The White Room in St. Augustine, Florida. We have performed at this venue 50+ times across all three event spaces, and we understand why budget-conscious couples love booking here. The White Room is all-inclusive - their in-house catering team handles food and beverages, their coordinators manage the event flow, and the venue provides tables, chairs, linens, and barware. That means you are not stacking vendor costs the way you would at a dry-hire venue. Pair their package with our $800 starting price for professional DJ service, and you get a White Room wedding that looks and sounds amazing without the luxury price tag.
Being based in St. Augustine means we never charge travel fees to get to The White Room. We know the load-in through the alley entrance, the power outlet locations in each space, and exactly how to work with the venue coordinators. After 50+ weddings here, there is no learning curve on your big day. We bring the same professional JBL sound system and wireless microphones to every White Room wedding regardless of which package you choose - the only difference between our packages is hours and ceremony coverage, never equipment quality.
The White Room has three distinct event spaces under one roof. Here is what you need to know about each one for your wedding day entertainment.
The second-floor Ballroom is where most White Room receptions happen. The elegant mahogany bar, exposed 1888 brick walls, and wrap-around windows overlooking the bay create a classic setting. The 16-by-20-foot dance floor is generous for a venue this size. The acoustic challenge here is the hard brick surfaces and high ceilings - we set our EQ to keep speeches clear and music balanced so the bass does not build up and overwhelm conversation. Capacity: up to 250 guests seated. This is the space for larger wedding receptions.
The third-floor Rooftop Terrace is The White Room's signature space - a west-facing outdoor terrace with panoramic views of Matanzas Bay, the Bridge of Lions, and downtown St. Augustine. Sunset ceremonies here are stunning. The challenge is wind off the bay, which is why we use directional wireless microphones rated for outdoor conditions. After the ceremony, guests move into the industrial-chic Loft with its exposed brick, string lights, and original Hart Pine floors. The Loft's 10-by-13-foot dance floor is compact, which actually works in your favor - smaller floors create the feeling of a packed party even with fewer guests. Rooftop holds 150 for ceremonies; the Loft seats up to 200.
The ground-floor Villa Blanca is The White Room's most intimate space. Vaulted ceilings, crystal chandeliers, and natural light through the windows create a Mediterranean feel that photographs beautifully. Most couples use Villa Blanca for their ceremony and then transition upstairs for cocktails and reception. The 12-by-12-foot dance floor works well for intimate receptions of 100 guests or fewer. Villa Blanca is also a smart budget choice for smaller weddings - you may not need the larger Ballroom if your guest count is under 100, and the smaller space needs less decor to feel complete.
Preferred vendor quality at budget-friendly pricing
We are on The White Room's preferred vendor list with 50+ successful weddings here. The coordinators know our team by name and trust our setup procedures. That working relationship makes your day run smoother.
Starting at $800 for reception coverage. You get the same professional JBL sound system and wireless microphones at every wedding. We save you money by keeping our operation lean, not by cutting corners on equipment or service.
The White Room handles catering, coordination, tables, and linens. Our affordable DJ pricing complements their all-inclusive model - together, you get a complete wedding experience without the vendor stacking that makes costs spiral.
The White Room is an elegant venue and we match that energy. No gimmicks, no cringy games, no forcing your grandma to do the Macarena. Just professional music curation that reads the room and keeps the dance floor packed.
We live here. No travel fees, no minimum-hour requirements to cover gas. We can meet in person at the venue if you want to walk the spaces together before your wedding day.
Most White Room weddings use two or three spaces - ceremony on the Rooftop, cocktails in Villa Blanca, reception in the Loft. Each transition requires repositioning audio and adjusting the vibe. After 50+ events here, we have the timing down.
After 50+ weddings here, these are the things we wish every couple knew:
The Rooftop faces west over Matanzas Bay and afternoon breezes are common, especially in spring and fall. Standard lapel mics pick up wind noise that drowns out vows. We use directional wireless handhelds positioned to minimize interference. If your officiant is soft-spoken, let us know and we will adjust the gain during rehearsal.
Some couples worry the Loft's 10-by-13-foot dance floor is too small. It is not. A compact floor concentrates your guests and creates the feeling of a packed party even with 80 people. We have seen 100-guest Loft weddings with more energy than 250-guest Ballroom weddings. If your priority is a full dance floor, the Loft is your best bet.
If your guest count is under 100, consider using Villa Blanca for both ceremony and reception instead of booking the larger Ballroom. The intimate space needs less decor, fewer centerpieces, and no uplighting to feel complete. The crystal chandeliers and natural light do the heavy lifting for you.
When guests move between floors - ceremony to cocktails to reception - the energy can drop if the music goes quiet. We pre-set speakers on each floor so there is continuous ambient music as guests transition. It is a small detail that keeps the atmosphere flowing during the 20-25 minutes between ceremony and reception.
The White Room offers lower rates for weekday events and off-season dates (June through August, December through February). Combine their discounted venue rate with our $800 starting price and you have a historic waterfront wedding in St. Augustine for significantly less than a peak-season Saturday.
Here is how a typical Rooftop ceremony with Loft reception flows. Every timeline is customized through our planning app.
The building at 1 King Street has been a St. Augustine landmark since 1888, when it opened as The Surprise Store - the largest department store on Florida's East Coast. It became the Plaza Hotel in 1936, then the famous Potter's Wax Museum from 1949 to 1986. During the 2006 renovation that created The White Room, the original 1888 brick walls were discovered behind plaster and the Hart Pine floors were restored. Today it is a National Historic Landmark and one of the most popular wedding venues in the Southeast, having hosted over 2,700 weddings. You are getting married in a building with over 135 years of St. Augustine history - and with AE, you are doing it at a price that actually makes sense.

AE Entertainment packages start at $800 for reception-only DJ service. The most popular option is Party Plus at $995, which includes ceremony coverage on the Rooftop or in Villa Blanca plus reception entertainment. The White Room's all-inclusive model means you are not paying separate catering, rental, and coordination fees on top of your DJ - so the total wedding cost stays manageable.
The Loft works well for smaller budget weddings under 120 guests - its intimate size means you need less decor to fill the space. Villa Blanca is smart for ceremonies because the built-in chandeliers and natural light do the decorating for you. Many couples save by booking weekday or off-season dates, which The White Room offers at lower rates.
