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.

The Eola house was built in 1924 by George Marsh in the Mediterranean Revival style.

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.

They have two food trucks and a small bar that serves canned beer and seltzers. The food trucks are over priced and don't have a ton of food options.

I'm not sure if outside food and drink is allowed because you'd probably be better off bringing your own items while you enjoy any games that play.

I'll definitely keep this place on my list for an event.

**1 Star**…read more Unfortunately, our experience with Diamond Event Venue for my sister's quinceañera was very disappointing. From the beginning, we repeatedly asked about the decorations and what would be included with the package we paid for. We were consistently told to look at their Instagram and were told that we would discuss the decorations about three months before the event. When we finally met to discuss everything, we were surprised to find out that many of the decorations we wanted would cost extra, even though the package we originally chose included the venue and decorations. We understand that additional decorations can have an additional cost, but we were not given clear examples of what decorations were actually included in our package. We also felt pressured to upgrade to another package that we did not want. In the end, we paid more for the decorations we wanted. Unfortunately, the decorations on the day of the quinceañera did not look anything like what we expected or what we had discussed. We specifically wanted large, beautiful bows and even sent pictures showing the size and style we wanted. What we received were very small balloon bows that looked extremely cheap compared to what we paid for. For such an important event, this was very disappointing. Another issue was the way the owner interacted with our guests. We were told that she needed to be at the venue the entire time, which we completely understood. However, she sat directly in front of the entrance for most of the event with a very unwelcoming attitude. Several of our guests commented that they felt uncomfortable and judged by her and her employee. We even offered them food and drinks because we wanted everyone working the event to feel comfortable and welcomed. Things became even more frustrating when we were told there were more guests than we had paid for. We were repeatedly told that people kept coming through the doors. This was not accurate. We had several teenagers and children who were going outside to look at sport cars and then coming back inside. They were already part of our invited guests. Everyone had a seat, and no one was standing because there were not enough seats. When the dancing started, everyone was seated and enjoying the event. Despite this, our security deposit was withheld because of the claim that we had more guests than we paid for. We strongly disagree with that claim and do not believe it was a fair reason to keep our deposit. We have rented from **Imperial Design Hall** in the past, and our experience with them was completely different. They were amazing, professional, and we never had any issues with them. **I 100% recommend Imperial Design Hall.** The only reason we chose Diamond Event Venue this time was because we wanted something closer to us. Looking back, we should have just driven the extra distance and stayed with a venue that we already knew was professional and reliable. This was supposed to be a very special day for our family, and unfortunately, dealing with this venue added unnecessary stress. Based on our experience, we would not recommend Diamond Event Venue. If you are considering booking with them, make sure you get everything regarding your package, decorations, additional charges, guest count, and security deposit clearly documented in writing before your event.

I found all of those qualities here at the Woman's Club. The staff was also very friendly throughout the entire process. According to the club's website, "founded in 1915, the Woman's Club of Winter Park is one of the oldest not-for-profit community organizations in Winter Park, Florida." In addition to the meetings held here, the building is available for rent for events including weddings. The have spaces available for all parts of your wedding. You can have one part of the event or all at the club. They have ceremony space, reception space, and cocktail hour space if you are willing to host part of the event outdoors. 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!

Orlando definitely lacks good venue rental options for larger events, so I'm happy to see this new option. It's located right in front of the Florida Mall, so there was plenty of parking, but they also offered a valet service which was very helpful. I like that it is a 2-floor open concept so you still feel connected to what's happening downstairs, but you're able to break up the crowd a bit. I believe there were about 400 people in attendance and it never felt overly congested. I can definitely see this becoming a popular wedding and party venue and there are so many ways to get creative with the space and tailor it to your individualized needs. I added the listing to Yelp since they weren't on here yet (in the hopes of helping more people discover this space), so the photos are from their website.

The Acre has fairly limited hours, so make sure you double check before you head over. There is grassy parking lot with lots of spots, and then it is just a few steps to The Acre. There are a couple of different buildings on the property, and lots of outdoor seating and grassy areas. You can grab flatbreads from the Market and drinks from the bar. The menus are fairly limited, but it is so great sipping on a drink or enjoying a flatbread while lounging outside. We grabbed the Margherita Flatbread and White Flatbread. While slightly on the expensive side, they were delicious. The crust had a nice crunch, with a fluffy inside. The toppings were fresh. We also tried three of the drinks, and they were all good! My favorites were the Garden Mule and Bougainvillea. This is an ideal spot to hang out for a few hours and we love that there isn't any pressure to get in and out. You walk over to the bars and market, so whenever you want something you can grab it, but there aren't any waiters or the worry that you are spending too long at a table. There are pretty lights at night, and it is just such a cozy and relaxing spot!

5 Stars for a fabulously DIY venue that makes me want to throw a warehouse party!…read more I've been to several different events held at this warehouse and each event has used the space in an interesting way that for their needs. From an intimate 7 person dinner party to a literary function with a stage and full house- this flex-space has functioned well and left people with lots of share-worthy moments. In terms of a venue there's the advantage of a small kitchen as well as storage space that is closed off from the main area. Additionally, there is a parking lot that services the warehouses and that is largely unused in the evening. I love the space and am always excited to attend events hosted there, if only just to see how they will arrange it and decorate it!
