I agree with Yelper Janene who said: "he building is dated but the location is great" And it really…read moreis dated but being right on the water, has wonderful views. A lot of it looks like it's the same as its 1913 establishment date. The claim to fame is that the Mount Dora Yacht Club is Florida's oldest inland Yacht Club. But guess what it doesn't have? It doesn't have any yachts; hence a yachtless yacht club. So, about the only use of the place is as a rental facility for weddings, etc.

We found Venue 1902 through an event post on Facebook, and it was only the second venue we toured…read morein person -- we booked it within 24 hours. They had a great incentive at the time, and we immediately fell in love with the space. From the first tour, the team was amazing. Adriana showed us around and was incredibly kind, welcoming, and helpful. Aleshia assisted with finalizing our booking and was just as wonderful. We met with Adriana in person two more times before the wedding and also communicated frequently via email -- responses were always prompt and thorough, which made the planning process feel organized. Venue 1902 provides a curated list of recommended vendors (with catering to be selected from their approved options--plus with BYO alcohol option too) and hosts vendor events throughout the year (plus twice a year exclusively for couples who have already secured a date). These were a valuable part of planning -- we found our phenomenal vendors: caterer, hair/makeup artist, photographer, and photobooth company through these. The team was transparent about what their day-of coordination service includes versus what would require an additional decor placement fee, which we appreciated. They also offer a wide range of decorations, with a price list provided after booking. We were open about our budget throughout the entire process, and we never felt judged or pressured to spend more. A month before the wedding, they set up an online planning tool that helps organize the guest list/seating chart/general layouts and allows you to access/edit at home after, making it easy to visualize the wedding day setup. Small tip: If you plan to have hair and makeup services at the venue, coordinate with your artists early to determine what time you'll need venue access. You might be surprised at how long it takes to complete hair and makeup! Between our booking and our wedding, Venue 1902 implemented a day-of coordination partnership with the company Just Marry!. Initially, this change made me (bride) a bit nervous, but those concerns were put to rest. While our full experience with Just Marry! deserves its own separate review, I cannot say enough positive things about Emylie, who was absolutely incredible and played a huge role in ensuring our wedding day ran smoothly. Venue 1902 truly has thought of everything. It's an all-in-one venue with spacious bride and groom getting-ready suites (filled with natural lighting), lots of clean bathrooms, and beautiful outdoor ceremony (with the option to move indoors due to weather at no extra cost)/indoor+outdoor cocktail hour/indoor reception spaces. With so many unique spots for photos, the venue looks beautiful no matter the angle--and equally striking in color or black and white. There is ample parking plus valet service and elevator access to the reception area on wedding day (available for guests who NEED it). They even lock the bridal suite during the wedding to ensure personal belongings are secure. Brunch provided during wedding day was delicious and substantial. Thoughtful touches like mailing a letter and tote bag for the bride months before the wedding as well as giving us a bottle of champagne during the wedding rehearsal made us feel cared for. A little heads up for future brides planning to wear a long veil--mine got caught on the flooring of the outdoor ceremony aisle, which was totally fine; I just wasn't ready meheheheh! Overall, Venue 1902 is absolutely stunning, professionally run, and exceeded our expectations in every way. We highly recommend it to any couple looking for a beautiful, seamless, and well-thought-out wedding venue. (All wedding photos by Ashley Krug Photography )

What a beautiful location for a special event. The building is an old schoolhouse that has been…read moreconverted. I attended a wedding here and it was perfect. I like that they have multiple choices for the ceremony location. We were outside in the courtyard/garden area. It was beautiful. Cocktail hour was done downstairs in one of the rooms and foyer. Loved the natural light that came in through the huge windows. It didn't feel cramped at all! The reception was upstairs and this is the only reason I knocked off 1 star. I didn't see where there was an elevator to get to the second level. This would obviously be an issue for anyone that has issues with stairs or someone that was wheelchair bound. The upstairs reception area was beautiful! It's a big open space and makes for a nice place to decorate. I will definitely keep this place in mind for any future events.

The wallpaper and attention to detail in all of the fixtures to the color palate is just breathtaking. Unfortunately I have not attended an event here yet but I plan on it ASAP. I was given a private tour of everything from the two dedicated and passionate owners. The space is on the second floor of The Sanctuary near Lake Eola and can host anything from a wedding to a cocktail hour to a board meeting. Literally, everything is in place to hold a spectacular event here. The lighting, the tables, the chairs, everything can be run from the back of the house, the loading area is convenient, everything to make a top notch, glamourous gathering. Being an event planner and experiencing sound quality issues at other event venues, the sound system is built in here with such precision that 80% of the music is output on the dance floor and 20% around the perimeter so conversations can take place and when announcements are made, the output reverses. Genius. This space is truly something to be experienced to get the full effect of it's beauty and forward thinking flow. Make sure to look into this space if you are planning any event and you want to make it outstanding.

This review is for the venue, not the performance which was 5 stars and we really enjoyed it. The men's restroom was clean. However, I was informed the women's restroom from the very beginning (10pm performance) was out of toilet tissue and hand towels. Parking was minimal immediately around the venue, so unless you get there early (also depending on the day of the week) plan to park a few blocks away. We had to, but the walk seemed safe which is always a plus. We'd return to this venue should something we want to watch pops up.

We were greeted immediately and were told that our daily admission gave us a yearly membership. Yay us!

A raccoon? Seriously? That is hilarious. For me, I wish it wasn't so hot inside. It may have been that it was a cold and rainy January day when we visited. It would have been nicer if it wasn't as warm inside, though. 04.08.2025
