Marywood Retreat and Conference Center

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Patients Not Prisoners hosted its 3rd Annual Evening of Compassion fundraiser at Marywood Retreat & Conference Center on October 17, 2025, and I truly can’t say enough great things about this venue and their amazing team! From start to finish, Brianna and the entire staff went above and beyond to make sure everything ran smoothly. The food was absolutely delicious, the service was exceptional, and the staff’s professionalism and kindness made the entire experience effortless. The venue itself is gorgeous—peaceful, beautifully maintained, and the perfect setting for a meaningful event. We received so many compliments from our guests about how lovely and welcoming the atmosphere was. If you’re looking for a venue that combines beauty, hospitality, and excellence, Marywood Retreat is second to none. Highly recommend!

Great location for a retreat. The staff are fantastic. The kitchen staff prepared and presented great selections at all serving times! It was a wonderful experience.

Beautiful venue, amazing food and the people there really take care of you! We had Brianna as our coordinator, and she was so helpful with decor, timing during the reception, and making sure me and my husband had an amazing time! All the staff was super friendly, professional, and they kept things moving. The bartenders served just the right strength of cocktails. We got amazing sunset pictures that we will cherish forever. Gorgeous venue, with amazing staff- you just can’t beat that.

Experiencing the River Blessing ceremony with Lakota Chief Basil Braveheart and the St.Johns River Keeper was beautiful and powerful! The bucolic wonder, riverside locale and natural peacefulness of Marywood was the ideal location for this event. Chief Basil used my Mother Drum for all of the events which was a great honor.
