Our nine acre property provides perfect backdrops for your most special moments! Five acres of active grapevines surround our Farmhouse, which was built all the way back in 1900 and still features some of the original flooring and as well as the wood staircase. Two ceremony sites are yours to choose from, the Vineyard or the Lakeside. Our Vineyard site is nestled amongst the vines and sits at the base of a very large and old Oak Tree. The largest of our two sites, the Vineyard also features our onsite Wishing Well for couples married on the property. The Lakeside site provides a smaller, more intimate experience with the view of gorgeous Lake Thonotosassa at your backs. A dreamy Bridal Suite awaits on the second floor of our Farmhouse, and not to be forgotten, a Grooms Bunkhouse down by the lake. Draping the front of the Farmhouse, our reception area features 3,000 square feet of covered space with all new lighting and sound.

From the moment we booked The Osprey View for our wedding, Josh was incredibly clear, comforting and open-minded in their communication style. Josh, the manager, took care of us in such a unique and lovely way, ensuring our guests were greeted warmly and that parking went smoothly throughout the entire day. The venue itself has a nature-inspired, relaxing, homey and cozy feel that truly made our special day feel intimate and calm. We were able to accommodate all of our family and friends by spending the night before and after the wedding at the venue, which was an added bonus that made the whole weekend so special. We cannot recommend The Osprey View enough - Josh's kindness and the venue's overall value made our wedding day absolutely perfect.
