Awarded Best of Zola
I was sold on this venue during my initial search. After hours of research on wedding venues in the Orlando area, I kept coming back to this venue since it offers everything a couple could possibly need for their best day ever! Not only is the venue is unique and stunning with such rich history, but from a business perspective, the venue and their staff are really spectacular when it comes to event management. Highly recommend choosing vendor from their vendor list as well since these vendors work together constantly and truly know how to make wedding run smoothly. It was such a peace of mind working with this venue and their extended team for that reason! For example, we ended up selecting their option for all-inclusive catering (rentals) which was specific to the venue, and it was such a relief that the venue and catering company just took care of everything! I couldn't tell you how reassuring it was to speak with each of my vendors that already knew the lay of the land when it came to working with this venue so I didn't personally have to worry too much about logistics. The venue staff is also so kind and amazing to work with. You won't be disappointed booking your wedding there!
