Saxon Manor was the perfect venue for our wedding. Their communication throughout the planning process was very easy; they were always quick to respond to emails and phone calls with a friendly and helpful attitude. The venue itself is so pretty, with beautiful gardens and architecture that made a gorgeous backdrop for our photos. It was definitely worth the money to host our reception there. The staff at Saxon Manor went above and beyond for us on our special day - they were attentive to every detail, from the setup and decor to making sure my husband and I were well taken care of. We couldn't have asked for a better venue and highly recommend Saxon Manor to any couple planning their wedding! Even the food was a huge hit.

The Orlo House 

5.0

Tampa, FL
  • Up to 200 guests
  • Raw space
  • Indoor
  • Starts at $3,000

Just outside of downtown Tampa sits The Orlo, a private social club housed within the historic Spafford House and ballroom. Orlo J. Spafford, the president of the Tampa National Bank, built the Orlo in 1896 to share with his son and his family. In 1922 the Orlo was sold to the Tampa Women’s Club where the addition of a ballroom was made to host formal parties and extravagant dances. This historical ballroom still stands today and is ready to host your next party or extravaganza. Some of our favorite features are our gorgeous bridal suite on the second floor. It has so much natural lighting (a photographers dream) and large enough for you and your bridal party to get ready on your wedding morning! The Orlo has been restored and still has the original wood floors, chandeliers, and grand staircase. It is the perfect blank slate for your wedding or event!

We used The Orlo House for our wedding in June 2022. Everything was organized, coordinated, and easy, from the initial communication and scheduling a visit, to understanding the particulars and what was and wasn't included and options, to having everything lined up and working with our other vendors the day of. We couldn't have been happier with the selection and the people at The Orlo we dealt with. Working with one of Orlo's preferred caterers definitely helped. Thank you!!!

The Colonial at Sunset 

5.0

San Antonio, FL
  • Up to 225 guests
  • All-inclusive
  • Indoor & outdoor
  • Starts at $9,350

We host dreamy, well-planned weddings + events that capture your vision so you can cherish the memories for a lifetime. Our stylish venue not only stands apart for its appearance, but the way we care about our guests + the details of your special event. The Colonial at Sunset is a beautiful space to host your wedding, baby shower, bridal shower, reunion, retreat, birthday party and more. We have on-site overnight accommodations so you can stay for the weekend with up to 16 of your friends and family. We have a variety of indoor and outdoor event spaces for both ceremony and reception, holding anywhere from micro-weddings to 225 guests. We get to know you as a couple, your style, and your vision, and bring those distinct elements to life on your wedding day. We are family owned and operated, and want to ensure your guests feel at home from the moment they arrive.

When I heard about the Colonial at Sunset and its location, I assumed it was going to be another barn venue. Nothing wrong with barn venues, it just wasn’t our vision for our day. The entire property was our backyard wedding dream and the owners made our experience better than we could have imagined. Britt and her husband went above and beyond for us. Before we even arrived to start getting ready for the day, her husband was out front pressure washing the outdoor area where we chose to have our ceremony. I am so grateful for their hearts and the details they payed attention to so we didn’t have to worry about it or even think about it. We opted for the all inclusive package which made our experience with planning that much easier. I recall one meeting asking if I was missing anything or if there was anything more I needed to do because it all felt too easy and she assured me that with her help, that’s how it was supposed to feel. Leading up to the day of the wedding we knew we wanted our focus to be on each other and God and walking into the day we knew we could confidently do that because of Britt and the way she serves others on their special day with excellence. If you’re not just looking for a venue but a family who cares about you and your day, then you should stop looking because you’ve found it with the Colonial at Sunset and their amazing team.

Lake Wales, FL
  • Up to 200 guests
  • Select services
  • Indoor & outdoor

Our beautiful 2 story lakeside lodge was built in 1925. The Italian inspired architecture and stunning views have made it a popular vacation spot for the elite and famous in the past. Now an exclusive hire venue, it has been tastefully renovated to complement the original cypress ceilings, grand staircases, and period chandeliers throughout. With an indoor capacity of 150 guests in the ballroom, or outdoor capacity of 200 guests either in the courtyard or on the lawn overlooking Lake Pierce , Bella Cosa is the perfect space to cater to all your requirements. We have one, or two-day venue rental packages available, with optional on-site accommodation in our 11 guest suites for up to 30-32 people. Not to mention a dedicated “getting ready room” providing the perfect space to prepare for your big day.

We loved having our wedding at the Bella Cosa Lakeside Wedding Venue. The staff was very efficient, helpful, and detailed in their communication throughout the planning process, which made things smooth and stress-free leading up to the big day. The venue itself is gorgeous with its natural beauty and classic charm. It was the perfect backdrop for our wedding and photos. The team did a great job helping us set up everything just how we envisioned while also being hands-off during the actual event so we could relax and soak in every moment with our loved ones. We couldn't recommend Bella Cosa highly enough for couples looking for a venue that combines professionalism with the ability to make your wedding feel uniquely your own.

Powel Crosley Estate 

5.0

Sarasota, FL
  • Up to 800 guests
  • Select services
  • Indoor & outdoor
  • Starts at $4,500

Powel Crosley built the Florida winter home for his wife, Gwendolyn, in 1929. The two-and-a-half-story Mediterranean mansion was built in the southwest corner of Bradenton on a 60-acre parcel of land on Sarasota Bay adjacent to the John Ringling Estate. The 11,000-square-foot home has 21 rooms and 10 baths, and an adjacent carriage house has room for three cars and servants' quarters on the second floor. Originally the mansion had a swimming pool, a seaplane dock and yacht basin. The home featured many innovations for its time, including a steel frame encased in cast stone, embedded pipes and wiring, and a 135-day construction schedule. Placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982, Seagate was saved from commercial development and purchased for renovation by Manatee County, which operates it as a meeting, conference and event venue.

I really am speechless when it comes to the Powel Crosley. I am so incredibly thankful we hosted our destination wedding here with them. I wish I wouldve taken more time on my special day to really marvel at all of the estate. There is so much beauty every which way you turn! The staff was so helpful from the moment we booked with them and on the wedding day. Looking back at our photos, I know this was worth every single penny. Book the lawn, your pictures will be outstanding.
