  • Our Dream Wedding at Casani Estates

    Verified review
    Sharon & S.Nov 22

    I absolutely cannot put into words how happy we are to have had our dream wedding at our dream venue. From the moment you drive in, the venue will leave you speechless—with stunning lake views from all directions and tall pine trees lining the way. Casani Estates was the perfect backdrop for our intimate fall wedding, with an outdoor ceremony overlooking the lake and a beautiful indoor reception space. I loved working with their trusted vendors, who were able to work within our budget and helped make our day even more special. The food was delicious, the music was perfect, and the photos were absolutely stunning! Working with Carmen and Elizabeth was an absolute pleasure. I’ve never felt so well taken care of. They seemed to know what I wanted or needed even before I did. Carmen answered every call, responded to every question, and made the whole planning process feel effortless. Our reception space was decorated beautifully. The venue itself is breathtaking, but when it was transformed with the decorations, it was truly overwhelming—seeing everything come to life brought tears to my eyes. Our loved ones couldn’t stop complimenting the venue, and everyone raved about how friendly and accommodating the staff was. Casani Estates will always hold a special place in my heart, and we’ll never forget the incredible memories we created at this magical venue.

    My daughter and son-in-law got married at Casani in October 2023. The facility was lovely and Carmen was easy to work with. The enclosed pavilion was perfect! The air conditioning kept us all comfortable on this beautiful property. The gazebo, the bride house, the decks and patio were all used for a variety of different picture backdrops. The sunset pictures were amazing! We could not have been more pleased with the choice to have the wedding at Casani!

    A dream come true. The scenery is peaceful, tranquil, simply STUNNING. It’s so beautiful you hardly need much to decorate it, I made all our decorations by hand. The wide open layout, the sky, the sunset, the reflection of it on the water, incredible. That’s just the tip on the iceberg. Carmen was so flexible and helpful throughout our journey of putting together a wedding within six months, she had vendor recommendations that were game changing. Not only that, but she married us herself! She did it in such a tender and magical way. Carmen went above and beyond to make us feel at home! Major TIP: Julia Vivian is the BEST day of coordinator you could imagine, she’s genius. We got married during golden hour, took photos during sunset, and danced during the cool night time after sunset. We cherish and so deeply appreciate every moment. Our wedding day was just dreamy, goofy and comfy, unbelievable. You can not find a better place to make the best memories of a lifetime with your love, especially with Carmen at the head of it all.

  • The Best Experience Ever!!

    Looking for the PERFECT wedding venue? Look no further!!! Casani Estates in Groveland, FL is definitely where you want to host your next event. I had my wedding here in September and it was the best experience ever!! For starters, Mrs. Carmen the owner was absolutely amazing! She is very professional and personably. Once I booked with her she was literally there through the entire ride with me. She will assist in finding vendors if needed and will help in anyway she possibly can. The venue is absolutely gorgeous! For a better choice of words it’s BREATHTAKING, and that’s exactly why I canceled my first venue I found a couple of months prior to stumbling upon this gem !! Every inch of the property is perfect for photos. I highly recommend a company with a drone, to get great shots of the scenery. I loved how the property had cabins available for a little extra (totally worth it) to accommodate the wedding couple and any guest who may need to stay. I can literally go on and on, but you catch the drift! Book you a tour to see it for yourself, and don’t hesitate to Book your event! Again, thanks Carmen and the Casani estates fam for hosting my wedding!
