    From the moment we booked Historic Venue 1902, their communication with us was streamlined, effortless and so helpful. The venue staff were quick to respond to any questions we had and made the planning process a breeze. When we saw the space in person, we were blown away - it is truly an elegant, beautiful venue with so much character and plenty of space for our wedding. The venue was worth every penny, as they provided a fantastic list of preferred vendors that made our planning so simple. We are over the moon with how our special day turned out at Historic Venue 1902! I’d like to personally thank Adrianna and Aleisha! They truly made my first visit and final details meetings stress free and such an enjoyable journey!

    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!

    Historic Venue 1902 was truly the venue of our dreams! It was the perfect combination of elegance, history, and classic charm. We’re still reliving that day over and over—it went even better than we could have imagined. Their planning platform made the process so easy. Being able to see our rentals laid out visually helped us make confident decisions, and the design calls were incredibly helpful whenever we had questions. Honestly, their team felt like having a built-in wedding planner! The staff handled everything with such professionalism and care—from the design phase to coordinating vendor logistics on the day of the wedding. We didn’t have to worry about a thing. The space itself was stunning. The guys loved hanging out in the Library, and the girls had an amazing time in the beautiful getting ready room. Everything was well thought out and so accommodating. Our guests couldn’t stop complimenting the venue and the flow of the day. We can’t recommend Historic Venue 1902 enough. The team is exceptional, the setting is gorgeous, and the entire experience was flawless from start to finish. Best venue and best staff—hands down!

    From the moment my wife and I booked Historic Venue 1902, their communication was quick, consistent and incredibly informative. The planning team was fantastic to work with - they truly went above and beyond to ensure our vision came to life. The venue itself is nothing short of beautiful, with its unique, one-of-a-kind character that made our wedding day feel truly special. We loved being able to customize the space with the furniture rentals they provided. Every single person we interacted with, from the venue coordinators to the catering staff, was incredibly kind and sweet from start to finish. I cannot recommend Historic Venue 1902 highly enough for couples looking for a truly special and memorable wedding experience.
