Located in Umatilla, just outside Mount Dora and Orlando, Lakeview Gardens is an outdoor venue where nature sets the tone and your vision leads the way. Surrounded by oak trees, vibrant gardens, and views of East Lake, it’s the kind of place that feels calm, beautiful, and entirely yours. Say “I do” in the garden, under the oaks, or lakeside at golden hour—then celebrate on our poolside terrace, often lit with floating candles. You’ll have two private get-ready suites, flexible planning options, and the freedom to choose your vibe—DIY or all-inclusive, your own vendors or curated collections. Whether you’re going tropical, witchy, or Bridgerton-inspired, our space was made to bring themes to life. We’re also part of a working tree farm focused on sustainability, and just close enough for guests to easily make the trip. Lakeview Gardens is more than a venue—it’s a canvas for the day you’ve been dreaming about.

I recently had the pleasure to work with Mulberry Estates. I was in the hunt for a venue to have a surprise gender reveal/baby shower for my best friend. Right when I was about to give up I came upon Mulberry through google search. I immediately fall in love without seeing it in person. I contacted the venue and was in contact with Melanie since. Due to the fact I lived in a different city all the planning was done vie phone calls and text messages. Melanie’s impeccable service from day one made the day truly memorable. On the day of the event, I must say, I felled in loved even more. The guest loved it and most importantly my best friend and husband loved it. The venue definitely exceeded our expectations! From the moment we arrived, the atmosphere was welcoming and vibrant. Melanie was incredibly friendly and attentive, making sure every guest felt comfortable and well taken care of. The venue itself is beautifully designed, with a perfect blend of modern and cozy elements. Thank you so much again Melanie for all your time and patience with me through the planning since they one until the event date. Thank you once again for an outstanding experience. We look forward to working with you again in the future.
