Why You'll Love This Place
A Here Comes The Guide Wedding Venue Review
- This tucked-away garden retreat brims with Old Florida charm, thanks to vine-covered arbors, stately palms, and winding brick paths that weave through lush, landscaped grounds. The vibe is part storybook secret garden, part peaceful sanctuary—and it all sits on the historic campus of the Florida Federation of Garden Clubs.
- Choose from four exquisite al fresco ceremony sites, each with their own serene beauty: a white pergola backed by palms, an ancient unity tree, an intimate paver patio, or a woodsy lawn. Continue with an outdoor reception beneath glowing twinkle lights, or head inside to dine and dance in the lovely, contemporary ballroom.
- You’ll be treated to top-tier event planning and culinary services from the pros at Cocktails Catering. They’ll handle every detail, including sensational catering, in-house rentals, staffing, and more—all at an affordable price that leaves lots of room for customization.
