Ocean views from every event space, a world-class resort staff, and the kind of luxury infrastructure that makes complex weddings feel effortless — here's what to know before booking your wedding or event at the Ritz-Carlton Amelia Island.
The Ritz-Carlton Amelia Island is a 444-room oceanfront resort on the southern end of Amelia Island, offering one of the most comprehensive luxury wedding and event packages in Northeast Florida. The resort sits directly on the Atlantic Ocean — which means virtually every event space has ocean views and the beach is steps away from the ballrooms.
Footloose Entertainment is on the Ritz-Carlton Amelia Island's preferred vendor list and provides entertainment for both weddings and corporate events there. The resort has its own event management team and established vendor protocols — and working within those is something we do regularly.
The Ritz-Carlton Amelia Island has multiple event spaces spanning ballrooms and outdoor venues:
| Space | Capacity |
|---|---|
| Grand Ballroom | Up to 500+ guests for seated reception |
| Amelia Ballroom | Mid-size receptions and corporate events |
| Oceanfront Ceremony Lawn | Outdoor ceremonies with Atlantic Ocean views |
| Garden Terrace | Outdoor cocktail receptions and smaller ceremonies |
| Breakout Rooms | Corporate sessions, rehearsal dinners |
The Grand Ballroom is the resort's primary large-scale reception space. The oceanfront ceremony lawn is the signature outdoor ceremony setting. Multiple breakout spaces make the property equally capable as a corporate event venue.
A Ritz-Carlton Amelia Island wedding typically begins with an outdoor ceremony on the oceanfront lawn — guests face the Atlantic, the couple is framed by the ocean, and the ceremony photographs beautifully in almost any light. After the ceremony, guests move inside to the Grand Ballroom or Amelia Ballroom for cocktail hour and reception.
The resort's experienced event staff coordinates each phase of the evening. Footloose Entertainment is on the Ritz-Carlton's preferred vendor list and coordinates directly with the resort's event management team before your wedding day.

We know the property's load-in procedures, ballroom configurations, and event staff coordination process — the working relationship is already established.
Large-scale ballroom receptions require full production setups — subwoofer, dance floor speakers, uplighting, DJ booth. Oceanfront outdoor ceremonies require a wireless microphone and speaker system. We confirm all of this with the resort's event team in advance.
What we confirm before every Ritz-Carlton Amelia Island event: ballroom configuration and speaker placement, outdoor ceremony microphone and speaker setup, load-in timing within the resort's vendor protocols, and any uplighting or special effects for the ballroom reception.
A mirror booth or 360 video booth works well at Ritz-Carlton Amelia Island. We plan placement during pre-event coordination so the booth is positioned where guests naturally circulate and stays active throughout the night.
