    Dancing area with DJ and bartender in the back. The ambiance lighting was perfection
    Vanessa N.

    If you are considering Celebration Gardens for your wedding or special event... look no further! Seriously, book a tour already. The parking was ample and accommodated the wedding guests perfectly. The room in the back to get ready was perfect. It fit all 7 bridesmaid on one side, and 7 groomsman on the other. The entire wedding was outside and we lucked out with perfect weather and had the most beautiful day. The inside room was convenient for the evening when it got colder, so those who weren't dancing could warm up in there. The tables and chairs were set up for us upon arrival thanks to the wonderful staff. Erin Lamb (the bartender) was incredibly sweet and accommodating. Huge thanks to them for helping our special day go so smoothly!

    We celebrated our Wedding here and chose the Rose Wedding package. It was the most perfect day! We are obsessed with how beautiful everything turned out. Thank you Michael so much for all of your help, guidance, and most importantly, patience. The venue is breathtaking, it practically decorated itself!! I couldn't imagine a better place for our intimate wedding (about 92 guests). We will be forever grateful and remember you as a very big part of the most special day of our lives.

    This place was so amazing! Very magical for our wedding. Michael and staff very friendly since day one. Was so easy to communicate and to get everything we needed for our special day. Amazing execution on what we planned. Thank you guys for all you did and helped. Definitely recommended.

    My husband and I just got married at Celebration Gardens in January 2019. We visited the venue in May and had a tentative date in mind. Michael Thomas, the facility manager, put a courtesy hold on the date and said he would inform us if anyone else was interested in that date. We booked our date in June 2018. Throughout the entire planning process, Michael was extremely helpful. He replied very quickly to all my emails and offered many problem solving solutions along the way. One of the added benefits of Celebration Gardens is the a la cart opinions with their services. You could plan everything (food, music, flowers, rentals, etc) through them or you can use outside vendors of your choice. We outsourced a lot of our vendors but we did hire the bartender and helpers for the evening through the venue. All employees were professional and helpful throughout the evening. The gardens are beautiful and very well kept. Even with a wedding in January, the flowers were in full bloom. The simple charm of the gardens is what won us over. You don't need many decorations of your own with the natural beauty. It was an added bonus of having the fire pit accessible. The staff on premise for the evening handled everything related to the fire pit. One of the added benefits of the garden are all the little areas that guests can choose to enjoy. Since the dance floor can be separate from the dinner area (we chose to use the ceremony lawn as the dinner space as well), the fire pit area, the inside space where we had our photo booth (mostly because it was cold) and coffee and tea. Each guest could find a place they felt comfortable. The only headache I'd say is you have to hire your own lighting for the lawn area or bring in and put up your own. The gazebos are well lit but the lawn space will need some additional lighting. We also used a helper/server who was employee through John Michael entertainment for our rehearsal dinner at our house and they were very helpful. Our wedding was perfect and everything we had imagined it to be and it was mainly due to the helpfulness of Michael. He even allowed us to deliver a garden trellis a day early and keep it near the office building to help elevate the day of stress. Michael made the planning process less stressful for sure. I would definitely hold another event here in the future!

    My wife and I came to a John Michael wedding planer tasting event at the gardens. Final preparations getting ready for my daughter's wedding this summer. This is a tasting event for evaluating the food and ambience that can be put on by John Michael services. The gardens themselves are somewhat tucked away and hidden in the neighborhood. A possible venue for a small event. Parking is plentiful next door in a large industrial lot that is shared by the gardens for events. The "house" that you use for preparation smells like MOLD and gave my wife a headache after being there for a few minutes. To small for us and not a goo location for us.

    This place doesn't look like much when you drive to it. You may even think that you are in the wrong location, but fear not---a beautiful event venue waits. Walking into the gate, I felt like I was walking into "a secret garden". The tressles and simplicity of the venue were beautiful. This is the only event I've ever visited for, so I imagine that CG was responsible for some/most of the decor/basic structures. First there is a space for both a wedding ceremony and reception. The ceremony took place on a gazebo/porch area, which has a mini gazebo to the left of it. To the right the reception awaited. About 50 chairs were available, which were then taken and used as the reception chairs, which I really liked. Overall the event was great and the staff worked flawlessly. I definitely recommend this place for small weddings, bridal showers, or other get togethers!

    The dance floor. bar area, and Bluetooth music set up were beautiful.

    Our wedding had about 26 people due to COVID and this place was absolutely perfect. Regardless of wedding size I feel I would have loved this as my venue anyways. They just renovated it a few weeks before our wedding which was December 14th, 2020. We planned for a Garden themed wedding and Celebration Gardens was the best fit for the job with beautiful and fresh flowers and gorgeous lighting! There were very simple and understanding restrictions and the staff that attends the wedding was very helpful in making sure everything went smooth and set up was correct as requested. You are able to use all parts of the property including the house where the bride and groom would get ready. Overall, Michael Thomas, the Manager, and the staff he had assist us were very helpful and easy to get ahold of during the whole process.

I advise going before March while it's still nice during the day and into the evening. There are a few dining and beverage options - no outside food/drink permitted. While l am not an outdoors person, I appreciate the concept. I'd consider returning for their movie on the lawn offerings and as an additional place to gather with family and friends. I took off a star for unclear parking and large holes in the primary access lane/road. Additional signage would be ideal for parking. Arrive with enough time to park inside the designated areas. Do not part along the side street near the homes. They have the right to call a tow truck.

    4 Stars for location, location, location!…read more Eola House is a historic 1924 house-turned-rental space owned by the city, right by Lake Eola. It may seem like an odd sight in the middle of the park, but in fact it used to exist in a line of historic homes that were taken down for the park expansion. Now it sits alone, right off of the walking path surrounding the Lake. The home is lovely and features a sunroom, living room, parlor, outdoor terrace, upstairs area with a balcony, bridal changing room, and more. Recently I went for a lunch meeting in their upstairs space, the Summerlin Room ($75/hr rental with a 2 hr min). It was a lovely spot and fit our group of fifteen perfectly. I'll admit that I had been to the house once before to help with another event and the room wasn't set to the specifications agreed upon so we had to move and reset the chairs and tables right before the meeting. I remember the event organizer was quite annoyed... Hopefully it was a fluke! Side note- There is no elevator and the stairs are quite narrow. This is worth mentioning in case your event includes someone with mobility issues or who uses a wheelchair. As I was heading out I stopped in a room by the front and appreciated the array of pamphlets set up- ranging from history of the house to an Orlando biking map. There were also tourist pamphlets with the typical attractions (presumably for out of town guests of weddings of meetings). Overall, this is a beautiful meeting/event space that is priced reasonably and located in the heart of the city.

You really can't get a more picturesque spot than this. On the day we visited the flowers were blooming and swans wandered the grounds. Today the house is owned by the City of Orlando and they rent it for reasonable rates for private events like parties and weddings. A full listing of the prices can be found on their website. In addition the house has a welcome center and park offices. On the day I visited the house was closed and I could only peak through the windows. This looks like a fabulous venue for weddings and outdoor parties on the lawn.

I've had the pleasure of attending a yoga event as well as a salsa event at The Balcony and both times I left wanting to figure out an event to host at this beautiful site. Though getting in to the building and up to the right floor is a bit of a process, the view that awaits is worth every head scratch. This is truly a Balcony, but much larger than you'd imagine. They've used the space for cocktail parties, seated dinners, weddings, fitness events, and I imagine a photo shoot or two. The space is available for rent, and I've made a point to take a tour (which you can schedule any time) to check it out when they didn't have an active event happening. The indoor space you'd walk thru for The Balcony is actually a marketing agency. I haven't been in several months, but it doesn't seem to provide a lot of weather backup space, so one thing to note. Then again, this place is so unique, you'll be convinced to cross your fingers and pray for clear skies!

We used the club just for our ceremony and it was so perfect. We had about 80 guests seated which took up about 2/3 of the room. I think they can do up to around 150 seated. There are beautiful mantels on either end of the main room which we used for our event. It was so beautiful and intimate. We loved the historic touches which had also been recently renovated before our event. At the end of our wedding, our guests were directed to the lawn. We then exited down the sidewalk aisle into our getaway car. A wonderful photo opp! Easy to work with, they have a very fair price. Ceremony alone here cost us less than $1,000! Try finding that anywhere else in the heart of Winter Park. Or anywhere. I am so happy to have found this location. Thank you to the club, and to our planner Kyle, for making our ceremony here so wonderful!

Capen was known for his dedication to the development of Winter Park and he donated funds to bring Rollins College to Winter Park. The Capen family lived in the home until 1898 when it was then sold to human-rights advocate Amelia Weed Hopkins. The Snow family purchased the home in 1904 and in 1910 it was sold to J.F. Johnson. In 1923, Howard and Anna Durbin Sands Showalter purchased the house transforming it from a Folk Victorian Farmhouse into a Tudor Revival home. In 1945 Dr. Wilbur and Edith Jennings purchased the house. They loved it so much that they stayed in it for the next 46 years. In 1995 it was sold to to J.

Roads in Winter Park were to narrow for the house so to bring it to the Albin Polasek Museum the 200 ton house was cut in half and floated across the lake by barge. The two pieces of the house were nicknamed Fred and Ginger. From there it was a two year restoration project to return the house to its splendor. The two halves of the house were attached, the 1885 pine wood floors were refinished, and disability access restrooms were added.
