We got married on April 26, 2025, and could not have chosen a better venue! From the moment we arrived, we were blown away by how gorgeous the property was! It truly feels like you're not in Florida. The setting created such a magical backdrop for both our ceremony and reception. My mom suggested this venue. It was one of the last venues we toured. I was feeling discouraged because many other venues make you use their vendors, and the time is limited for the wedding day. Having access to the venue for the entire day made our wedding so much smoother and less stressful. We were able to take our time, enjoy every moment, and not feel rushed. The reception space was beautiful and spacious. There were plenty of bathrooms (a small but important detail!), and everything was clean and well-maintained. One of the biggest perks was being able to use our own vendors, which gave us so much freedom to personalize our day exactly how we envisioned it. There are Airbnbs nearby for guests who want a more private stay, as well as hotels in Clermont and Howey-in-the-Hills, so it was very convenient for everyone. We truly loved this wedding venue and highly recommend it to any couple looking for a beautiful, flexible, and stress-free place to get married!

The second we stepped foot on the property I knew it was the one!! Everything was perfect! I can’t get over it. My only complaint is that the coordinators almost missed arranging my bouquet toss and had to do it in 5 minutes at the end. I was also sad that I wasted money on a bubble machine that I was not allowed to use. And my last complaint is that we only got one little piece of our food we spent 4.5k on for catering. I was hoping that someone packed us a box up to eat. We literally got back to the hotel starving. But other than these things it’s a wonderful venue!
