They even had a bunch of patience awaiting my responses back to them. The venue is very spacious and worth every penny. They lit the outside of their building up as pink for me with no extra charge, which made for such a special touch. The Tavares Pavilion On The Lake truly gave us the most unforgettable day!

The venue itself is absolutely gorgeous, and the staff was wonderful to work with throughout the entire process. We couldn't have asked for a better wedding day thanks to the team at Casani Estates!

Venue on the Lake was such a blessing for our 2020 wedding. We booked the place months before the pandemic hit, and had to postpone the event, and had many other concerns to make sure our wedding was safe and still beautiful. Communicating with Bill was so easy, and so was postponing the wedding and making sure it was socially distant. I did not have to worry about anything through the whole process and was so happy with how my wedding went, from the moment we booked until the event ended. Even when the city started construction nearby that week, they put curtains up so the orange cones wouldn't show during our ceremony. We would highly recommend working with this venue!
