Lakeview Gardens 39949 Skyline Drive • Umatilla • FL 32784

Every package at Lakeview Gardens in Umatilla includes your choice of Sunset Grove or the Garden Gazebo for the ceremony, reception space with tables and chairs, market lighting, the pool once the sun goes down, two private getting-ready suites, two design sessions, and planning support and on-site help from the venue team. Full packages give you a 12-hour rental, and higher tiers add décor, linens, dinnerware and a bridal party lunch. Catering, bartending, a DJ, cake and coordination are priced separately, through a curated vendor collection or by bringing your own. There's no separate venue fee on top of your package price.

Yes, both happen at Lakeview Gardens. Sunset Grove hosts lake-view ceremonies for up to 150 guests, and the Garden Gazebo is set aside for more intimate ceremonies of up to 70. Afterward, your reception moves outdoors beneath the market lights, with the pool nearby and part of the party if you'd like, so guests don't travel anywhere between the two.

You can bring your own vendors to Lakeview Gardens, including your caterer, photographer and DJ, as long as they're licensed and insured and you share their information before the wedding. You're never required to use an in-house-only vendor. Prefer a shortcut? Pick from the preferred list of caterers, florists, coordinators and entertainers, or add a vendor collection, from the Core collection with catering and bartending up to the Complete collection with photography and month-of coordination. Alcohol can be BYO or from the preferred list.

Lakeview Gardens in Umatilla settles its weather plan a week before your wedding: the team reviews the forecast, and if the chance of rain is 60% or higher, or the heat index is expected to reach 100°F or above, tent coverage is arranged. How much of the tent cost the venue covers depends on your package, and Enjoy the Blooms covers 100% of it when the weather policy is triggered. If a named storm or hurricane warning affects your date, the venue reschedules at no additional venue cost, working with you directly.
