My wife and I were wandering through the Oviedo mall during the annual art festival and were…read moregreeted by one of the owners at the Wedding Place while we were passing by. The lady was very friendly, informative and even took the time to give us a tour of the venue. There are plenty of photo op areas, a dining area, changing rooms, a dance floor with event lighting, a small kitchen and prep area, restrooms, and a few other themed rooms that are great for parties, Weddings, Graduations, Celebrations, and more. Everything is very clean, and organized. Pricing varies, it's best to call for an appointment to see all the venue has to offer and work with the owners on the details of the event to confirm a firm quote. My wife and I like that it is a one stop shop where you can get married and hold the reception at the same venue, minimizing travel and additional costs to all parties involved. The Bride and Groom also have dressing rooms available where they can prepare and be away from the main party while they prepare for their big moment. We also liked that the small kitchen in the back provides another avenue to save by having the food catered via a third party of your choice versus being required to order food from or through the Wedding Place. We haven't held an event here yet, but Nancy has mentioned the Wedding Place a few times since our visit here. We would definitely keep them in mind for our next big party or get together. If you are in the area and looking for an all-in-one venue where you can hold your next party, themed event, or Wedding than the Wedding Place might be just what you're looking for.

I was at Greek Fest this year and did not hear one OPA!…read more What I did see was lots of smiling people and why not? There was great food (lots of it) plus wonderful entertainment. This has always been a well organized event and it seems they have really enhanced the offerings. There was several ways to get fresh hot food. We went on a Saturday night and they had several different stations open and a lot of choices. We went with the shish kabob and Greek fries. Always a good choice! I saw another line with more dinner favorites. They even had multiple ways to get dessert. One place was cranking out donuts and hot dessert while the market had a long traditional bakery counter packed with goodies. Speaking of the market besides the bakery they had an area where you could take home "heat and eat" family sized entrees and soup. They even had inexpensive cooler bags for people like me who love a "home" cooked meal. They had lots of other food for sale. I bought a bunch of Greek oregano, blocks of cheese and some olives. They had jewelry of all prices and even a mini rummage sale. I left my husband watching the entertainment while I shopped but I did not feel bad. There was a lot of traditional dancing and a band. My favorite was when they dimmed the lights and women danced with candles. It was beautiful. Since this is a popular event, parking is offered several ways and they provide a shuttle. I paid the $5 for close parking and was able to find a spot just steps from the entrance.

I spoke with Gary over the phone and email and I quickly booked this location. It is absolutely gorgeous! Gary and Marti were so accommodating. Gary allowed me to change part of a ceremony to omit some wording that didn't apply to us. I picked the elopement package but I really wanted a cake. Gary and Marti were able to accommodate my request. Before the actual wedding Gary sat down with me and my now husband. He explained everything about the marriage license (which he sent off for us), marriage certificate and pictures. He really made us feel comfortable. Marti took some amazing photos. It rained on our wedding but the photos are still gorgeous. There is a covered patio so it didnt ruins the day. One of my favorite pictures is us outside under an umbrella. It's so adorable. Marti was super sweet even with my new mother in law who for some reason kept barking commands about photos and packaging the cake. If you are looking for a place to get married I would highly recommend this location. It's gorgous. Gary and Marti are so friendly.

On location, the gentleman who provided the…read moreinfo about the venue and all of the catering was very professional, informative and organized. The catering staff we spoke to were very kind and answered all of our questions. Beautiful location, easy parking and your permitted to set up a few hours before the event. The white linens and the tables were set up before we arrived. All tableware and cutlery were included - very clean and well kept. The catering for the brunch was top notch. Plating was beautiful. The mimosa bar was great. Food was attended to and tables were cleared continuously. The drink attendant was sweet and on point even when guests swarmed the station. We were permitted to blue tooth our own playlist and it made the event more personable. A podium and microphone were provided and set up upon arrival. Unfortunately, the person who handled the actual event planning via email/phone was not organized, attentive to our requests and somewhat rude. We had to go back and forth over and over to get everything straight. Things were added and taken away that were not requested. I understand maybe she was trying to upsell but it was an unexpected hassle. Without explanation, she advised she did not even look at our initial request form?? which laid everything out clearly. We only ordered 3 things. She informed us that she had multiple events over multiple locations - seemingly the reason ours was problematic. She repeatedly referred to our event as a bridal shower (which also ended up on our confirmation form that had to be fixed). Poor thing, it seemed like the job was too much for her to keep up with. Glad it was not a wedding I was planning. On the day of the event, during our scheduled time to decorate, an event person? (female) walked a group thru our room and was speaking VERY LOUD - LOUD - LOUD to talk over the music (Dubsdread was playing before we blue toothed our playlist) and to talk over everyone who was involved in the set up process. It was rude. Our event organizer was giving instructions and this person was talking over everyone in a stern voice without apology like our presence was annoying her? We had to schedule our initial walk thru, etc. so I don't understand why she would do that during our event OR schedule an overlap during that time. It was NOT professional NOR kind. Overall experience - great! loved it. The historical beauty of the place, the wonderful catering people and food made up for the (2) people so I would recommend this venue but use the info I provided to make your experience better than mine. :)

All of the guests kept saying that this was the most fun wedding they have ever been to! I highly recommend this location to anyone who wants an intimate wedding! Thank you so much to everyone who made my wedding day unforgettable!

Tanner Hall was absolutely beautiful. We payed for Tanner Hall from 5pm-11pm with then an hour…read moreincluded for cleanup after. We also rented Little Hall to use as a bridal suit from 3pm-11pm which also included an hour after for clean up. Kamilla Udit was the name of the person who always answered the emails with my questions. She was very fast to respond to all my questions. She sent a reminder the week that the layout was due for both venues, which leads me to my next point- As long as you give them the layout a week in advance they will set up all the chairs and tables where you want. They have plenty of chairs and tables for indoor seating. (We did have to rent chairs for outdoor seating for the ceremony itself.) When we arrived day of the setup was exactly what I had drawn out. They usually show Tanner Hall and Little Hall a couple times a week in the evening as long as there's no event happening. I emailed ahead a few times to make sure there was no event and got to tour both halls a few times. We also met with the DJ the week of at the venue. It was easy to gain access to in order to take photos and video so that everyone in the wedding party could see it ahead of time. The bathrooms were clean and had plenty of stalls. There's also plenty of normal parking and handicapped parking around the two halls. Tanner Hall itself is very pretty. The dance floor is in the middle and I really liked that because it made it easier for everyone to see the first dance and such. Best of all, you get to use your own venders, so we were able to pick our own catering. (A lot of venues make you use their official caterer and that price definitely adds up.) Overall it was a great experience. I'd HIGHLY recommend to anyone looking for a beautiful but cost effective venue. (This venue was by far the cheapest I found. A lot of venues cost my entire budget for the wedding.) The gazebo outside comes with the rental of Tanner Hall so that's where we held the ceremony. There's also a beautiful oak three that I was told some people use for the ceremony. We decided on the gazebo because there's a sidewalk leading up to it and I figured that would be easier for our grandparents to walk on during the procession in. I emailed ahead to ask if we could set up outside prior to our rental and was told that was fine, so we had the chairs for the ceremony delivered at 2pm. The ONLY bad mark for this place was the woman who was there day of to keep an eye on things. When the reception was over my husband and I left and a few members of my bridal party stayed to clean. We had things mostly cleaned by that point too. (We had a team of four people there during the reception that we paid to clean up trash as people finished eating and things of that nature.) So as some people left early that team of four cleaned up the tables and such. The gifts and a lot of other things were already packed up and ready to be moved to cars. The food was all collected and just needed to be loaded into a car. So for the most part, when we did the send-off, most of the venue was already clean. One of my bridesmaids told me that after we left the lady was yelling at people asking who was going to clean. The bridesmaid tried telling her that it was taken care of and she and a few others were going to clean the last of it, but the woman was still freaking out about who would clean and the deposit only gets returned if the place is cleaned. My bridesmaid also tried asking her a few times what all needed to be done for her to consider it "clean" because she wanted to know if they needed to vacuum or anything. But the woman just kept freaking out about who was cleaning. She even yelled at a random guest who was not part of the bridal party nor was responsible to clean after to start cleaning. And I was also told that she was mad at the DJ for using a room to store things in that he was told he was allowed to use. That's why I took off a few stars for professionalism. If my bridesmaid was clearly telling her that there was a plan for the cleaning, then there was no need to continue to yell at people (including guests) about it. With that in mind, that was really the only bad thing about this place. Overall I'd still recommend it to anyone who is looking to have a casual wedding. (My husband and I spent about $6500 on our entire wedding which we planned on/paid for things assuming there would be 100 guests.) So if you're in the area and want more than a court house wedding but less than some of those crazy $20K+ weddings, this venue is great. Outside is gorgeous for a ceremony and the venue interior is very nice. I'm honestly a little surprised that more people don't use it for weddings.

I was greeted when I arrived, then I checked in to the class. The instructor was a beekeeper from University of Florida. He introduced us to various types of honey, including many from different countries and types of flowers. We also tried were a few local honeys from Florida. It took about 1.5 hours to sample over 20 different types of honeys. A bit of description was provided for each honey, but questions were answered. I really enjoyed the Manuka honey, Lavender honey, and the various honeys from Florida. After the class, there were certain items for sale, but I decided to head to the gardens. While I did enjoy the displays and the fountains near the home, I couldn't enjoy much and left early due to the thunderstorm nearby. Still, I did enjoy about 15 to 20 minutes of walking through it. Parking was free and ample. Being a foodie, I really enjoyed the honey tasting experience. The instructor was great and informative, and I enjoyed most of the honeys I tried. The garden admission addition was a plus, but I wish I was able to stay a bit longer. I will definitely register for another class in the future, and hopefully be able to spend time at the gardens a lot longer. Overall: A
