Our launch party for the very first issue of St. Johns Woman Magazine was amazing and magical. Thank you to Seri Kertzner for hosting such an extraordinary evening at The Social Society, and for creating an atmosphere that felt intimate, joyful, and beautiful. Every detail, from the romantic, love-inspired décor to our signature Love Potion cocktails, set the tone for a night filled with celebration.
The music, the laughter, the incredible guests, and the energy in the room made it all unforgettable. We are so grateful to the founders, collaborators, creatives, and friends who came together to celebrate this new chapter with us.
An evening we will never forget.

Art After Dark:
A girl’s night (or date night) at St. Augustine’s First Friday Art Walk Never Disappoints!
There’s something undeniably romantic about strolling the cobblestones of historic St. Augustine, especially on a night that’s all about art, ambiance, and good company. Whether you’re planning a cultural date night or a girlfriends’ outing, the Art Galleries of St. Augustine offer a perfect way to see the Ancient City in a fresh light. From rotating exhibits to lively receptions and strollable gallery hopping, this is when creativity and nightlife mingle effortlessly.
First Friday Art Walk is the city’s signature evening art event when galleries open their doors on the first Friday of every month from 5–9 p.m. to showcase new exhibits, offer live music, wine, and special receptions. Start your night at Acacia Tree Gallery on Aviles Street, where local and regional artists display sculpture, woodturning, landscapes, and more in a welcoming space with a playful coastal vibe. Just steps away, Plum Contemporary Gallery offers contemporary works spanning paintings, sculptures, and glass pieces, perfect for sparking conversation and inspiration.
Keep the art walk flowing with a stop at P.A.St.A Fine Art Gallery on Charlotte Street, open daylong with extended hours during the Art Walk. Here you’ll find everything from pottery to stained glass. Then make your way to the St. Augustine Art Association Gallery on Marine Street, a longstanding local favorite with rotating exhibits and a vibrant community feel, often paired with music and light bites during evening openings.
If you’re up for a dynamic gallery experience, Butterfield Garage, a converted 1920s space on King Street mixes contemporary and classic works in an industrial-chic setting, and features a collective of artists, while ArtBox, also on King, is perfect for eclectic finds and handmade treasures that beg to come home with you.
After you’ve peeked at palettes, brushstrokes, and sculptures, dinner downtown is just as memorable. Grab a cozy table at Prohibition Kitchen, where craft cocktails and Southern-inspired fare hit just right after a night of gallery browsing. For intimate French bistro vibe, La Nouvelle offers refined flavors perfect for lingering over dessert, or keep it playful and dine al fresco, share small plates at one of the many lovely places on Avilles Street, like Forgotten Tonic, a local favorite with upbeat energy right in the heart of the historic district. Have you tried Gaufres and Goods? This place with its combination of Greek and Polish fare is truly unique.
In St. Augustine, art isn’t just something you see, it’s something you experience. Pair it with good food, great company, and the soft glow of a city that loves to stay out a little later, and you’ve got a date night (or girls’ night) that feeds the soul too.
{Note: St. Augustine Art Association hours are 5-8pm on First Friday Art Night, awards are presented at 7pm}

Galentines Magic
Galentine’s Day lands every February 13th; the unofficial holiday born from pop culture, not the greeting-card aisle, and fueled by friendship. It’s the day we celebrate the girls who hype us up, pour the wine, finish the sentences, and make life sweeter just by showing up. This is the holiday built in group chats, weekend plans, and the kind of bestie time that feels indulgent, joyful, and absolutely essential. So grab your favorites, clear your calendars, and lean into some well-earned girl time. Here are a few fun ideas to sip, create, laugh, and celebrate your way through Galentine’s, St. Johns Woman style.
The Social Society — Ponte Vedra Pop-In
Where rosé never waits for permission. Spend the evening surrounded by women who know how to have fun —soft music, sparkling glasses, and the kind of ambiance that whispers you belong here, especially tonight.
Cortesse’s Bistro — Flamingo Bar Takeover
Because nothing says sisterhood like a cheeky cocktail in hand. Light bites, chic décor, and a bar scene that feels curated by the gods of glamour themselves. It’s playful, refined, and always unforgettable.
Poured Candle Studio — Wax, Wishes & Whimsy
Create something to cherish with your favorite women. The soft glow, the fragrant pours, the collective calm of choosing scent profiles like personality tests. Crafting candles, manifesting joy, bottling the moment.
The TPC Sawgrass Walk — Island Green Daydream
Take the girls for a stroll along iconic tournament grounds. Not for scorecards, but for fresh air, power talks, and a backdrop that turns a simple walk into something editorial-worthy. Friendship, but make it scenic.
St. Augustine Sail’s “Sip-N-Sail” — For a Galentine’s celebration that feels equal parts breezy and beautiful, this a dream worth booking. Friends come together for a morning, afternoon, or evening cruise, sipping thoughtfully paired wines and taking in the sights of St. Augustine from the water onboard a luxury sailing yacht. A seasoned local captain guides the sail around the Ancient City’s storied waterways, ensuring every moment feels effortless and well tended. From sunshine shimmer to sunset glow, it’s a blend of connection and calm, where laughter travels farther, the breeze carries the conversation, and the wine tastes just a little better when paired with salty air and the Bridge of Lions drifting by in the distance. It’s the kind of experience that reminds St. Johns women that celebrating friendship doesn’t have to be big, just intentional, a little luxurious, and shared with the right people.
