Why You'll Love This Place
A Here Comes The Guide Wedding Venue Review
- Set on ten lush acres in central Florida, this historic private estate boasts bountiful tropical gardens and so many beautiful gathering spots, each with its own unique charm. (We’re big fans of the Club Car, a 1940s train car that can be used as a dressing suite!)
- There’s a sweet white turn-of-the-century chapel, complete with intricate stained glass windows, heart pine walls, and an antique bronze bell whose tolling announcing your wedding can be heard throughout the neighborhood.
- Follow your vows with cocktails amid the gardens and koi ponds surrounding the adorable little house known as “Snow White’s Cottage”, then dine and dance in the Tavern, the estate’s beautifully restored 1920s residence.
