How the Whitmore Family Enjoyed an Effortless Stay on Amelia Island
Attending a destination wedding as a family can be incredibly special, but it often requires thoughtful coordination. Managing travel, childcare, transportation, and downtime between events can feel overwhelming without support.
Below is an example of how Amelia Wedding Concierge assisted the Whitmore family of four during a weekend wedding on Amelia Island, allowing both parents and children to enjoy the celebration fully.
Friday: Arrival and Welcome Events
The Whitmore family arrived at Jacksonville International Airport mid morning and were transported directly to Omni Amelia Island Resort, where the majority of wedding guests were staying. Airport transportation had been arranged in advance, allowing the family to skip rental cars and focus on settling in.
After checking in, the family had a few hours to relax. Amelia Wedding Concierge recommended a casual lunch near the resort and shared nearby beach access points suitable for a short afternoon visit before evening events.
That evening, the parents attended the welcome reception and rehearsal dinner. Prior to the weekend, Amelia Wedding Concierge coordinated trusted childcare at the resort, allowing the Whitmores to enjoy the evening knowing their children were close by and well cared for.
Transportation back to the resort was arranged ahead of time, making the end of the evening smooth and stress free.
Saturday: Wedding Day
Saturday morning began with a relaxed breakfast at the resort, followed by a quiet beach walk near Peters Point Beachfront Park, a beach access point recommended for families seeking a peaceful start to the day.
While the parents prepared for the ceremony, childcare was once again coordinated at the hotel. Amelia Wedding Concierge remained available throughout the morning to assist with schedule questions and last minute needs.
In the afternoon, transportation was provided from Omni Amelia Island Resort to the ceremony venue. Clear communication ensured guests arrived on time without confusion.
During the reception, childcare pickup timing was coordinated in advance, allowing the Whitmores to fully enjoy the celebration. After the reception concluded, transportation back to the resort was handled seamlessly.
Sunday: Departure or Leisure
On Sunday morning, the family enjoyed a slower pace. Amelia Wedding Concierge shared brunch recommendations in Historic Downtown Fernandina Beach, giving the Whitmores an opportunity to explore Centre Street before heading home.
For families staying an additional night, concierge recommendations included bike rentals and a visit to Main Beach Park for one last beach outing.
Airport transportation was confirmed and coordinated for departure, ensuring a smooth end to the weekend.
Why This Matters
For families like the Whitmores, having the logistics handled made the wedding weekend feel calm and enjoyable. With transportation, childcare, dining, and scheduling coordinated in advance, the focus remained on celebrating and spending quality time together.
Amelia Wedding Concierge exists to provide this level of thoughtful support for wedding guests, ensuring every detail is handled with care from arrival to departure.
