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.

My husband and I were married here on May 6, 2018. I originally found this place by searching…read moreFlorida elopement when we were living in Virginia. 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.

Prices are great with ceremony and photography included. But buyer beware the photography they showed us examples of and what we got back was nothing like what they showed us, my friends I-phone photos were way better. When I downloaded the photos, I cried when I saw the photos and I was on my honeymoon which 2 days of my honeymoon was ruined because I was so upset. All the background of the lake was totally blown out and so was my dress so forget about wearing white. This was my wedding and there are no redo's! I was so upset I told Gary and he said it's standard photography, no this was sub-standard! I would be embarrassed to give this to anyone let alone the bride! He took offense and said that this was standard photography but for an xtra charge they would fix it. I complained with several emails and they finally redid our photos without charging the up charge which was acceptable. I felt scammed and lied to. If I had known the photography was so bad I would have had my own photographer. It left a bad taste and memories for our wedding. Too bad because they have a beautiful place. I had my reception somewhere else and thank God I hired a wonderful newer photographer that did outstanding work. They should be more upfront with their prices and give people options to get their own photographer.

It was certainly a beautiful place to hold a wedding, from the actual spot where the vows were exchanged, to the small open area where the appetizers were served (and open bar) to the bar area where the remainder of reception was held. All of it was visually appealing as it was definitely very functional for the purpose it was used. Staff were friendly, if not overly so, and certainly took care of the bride and groom and their direct family - as you would expect. The s'mores on a cool evening was a nice touch and one I definitely took advantage.

The food was exceptional. there was a buffet where the food was very good and for my vegetarian husband and me, two vegetarian dishes were served by a wait person at our table and it was absolutely delicious. It had to be special ordered in advance but there was no extra charge. The chef they have must be amazing to have served such a creative dish. We weren't told what it was so I can't say, but I'll post a photo of it. It was cooked perfectly. Parking was plentiful. the venue is on the second floor. There were two staircases plus an elevator that is located next to the rear of Foxtail coffee. My only reservation is that during the cocktail hour, it would have been nice to have additional seating options and more tables to stand at and eat the hors d'oeuvres.
