    Beautiful venue!

    This venue is a hidden gem in the middle of the downtown Orlando area. It’s pretty much already decorated, so minimal decor was needed. It’s a beautiful indoor/outdoor space, and provides a room upstairs for the bride and groom as well as the option to book additional rooms. (I recommend getting one the night before, it was so nice to wake up and be able to get ready at my own pace!)

    The package we selected included tables and chairs, catering, a beer and wine bar, as well as the venue. It made it SO EASY to only have one contact for everything. But here’s the best part-

    THE FOOD. IS. AMAZING. I’ve worked in catering for a very long time and never expect much from
    Wedding food. I had so many people tell me that this was the best meal they had at a wedding pretty much ever. Seriously better than weddings I’ve attended at big name hotels and Disney.

    They made it so easy and provided me a great backdrop for my wedding, as well as wonderful service!

    Best venue there is!!

    The Dr. Phillips House is such a gorgeous and unique venue! We loved that there are 6 bedrooms within the house that you can reserve for the night of your wedding and the day before if needed. We booked 1 room for the night before and then used it as the girls getting ready room for the morning. For the night of our wedding we reserved all 6 rooms and were able to have most of our wedding party stay on sight which was great!

    The staff here is also amazing and really made our wedding perfect! I was nervous about it raining and we talked through multiple different rain backup plans (which thankfully we didn’t have to use). They went above and beyond and made us feel so special and took care of us the whole night. We wanted to step away for a moment during cocktail hour and they brought us a whole plate of the cocktail appetizers we had chosen along with a drink for each of us. For dinner, we chose the buffet option but they brought us each a prepared plate to our table. By the end of the night they even had two leftover boxes of food waiting in our hotel room fridge in case we got hungry later. The food was amazing and so is this venue! I cannot imagine having chosen a different option for our wedding as everything was perfect with the Dr. Phillips House!

    Amazing staff and amazing venue!

    Not only did our wedding go so smoothly! The venue coordinator Angie was a gem and works with you and your needs! The price is perfect, they have millenia catering who has amazing food, great taste! Would highly recommend to anyone who is looking for intimate but needs to invite up to 100 guests. I wouldn’t have more than 100 only because the reception area inside is not the biggest, unless your entire reception is outside. I had the ceremony outside by the gazebo, the reception (dinner inside with 90 guests) and dance floor outside which was magical with the lighting they have set up and the atmosphere! 10/10 recommend! The staff as well on the wedding day are very attentive and very caring! Thank you so much for letting us be there on our special day to celebrate our marriage!

    Absolutely amazing!

    Having my wedding at the Dr. Phillips House was everything I could have wanted and then some. I loved how intimate our wedding was, but still was unique and FUN. Angie and the team were OUTSTANDING! The house was beautiful, clean, and made for the perfect “garden/house party” a bride could ask for. Not only is the house beautiful and functional, but the price truly was unbeatable. We even paid to have all of the rooms booked the night of the wedding - how cool is it to be able to stay at your venue the entire day and overnight?! The amount of compliments we received for how beautiful the venue was and how much it felt so special was beyond what I could keep up with. Angie - thank you for being an amazing person to work with. I truly admire your professionalism, fun, and loyalty to doing a great job. THANK YOU! You’ll be seeing us again (maybe just for a fun 30th birthday party 🥳)

    The BEST venue

    We cannot stop talking about our wedding here. Everything was incredible. The venue is absolutely beautiful. We loved everything about it. Angie made it even better. She is absolutely amazing and truly cares about your event. She never hesitated answering my million questions. She truly let us make our event exactly the way we wanted it. We rented out the rooms for the night before and night of, and cannot even describe how absolutely beautiful those rooms are! Everything was amazing there and we were so in love with our wedding and that beautiful venue.

    Blissful and perfect

    We were married on 10/31/2020. Angie was amazing at both the venue and catering. They were so professional. They made our wedding day so easy and more than anything I could imagine. They have a great price, a connected caterer, and so many things included. It was also intimate and just our wedding there. So no waking through it seeing other weddings or events going on. Many of my guests commented on how beautiful the venue was, how well it fit our theme, the delicious food, and intimate setting. I couldn’t have asked for more.

    Amazing! Would highly recommend

    Our reception was a Sunday brunch and it was perfection! The venue is absolutely beautiful! The staff of millennia catering was amazing, and we wanted for nothing! We worked with Angie throughout the entire process, and she was so easy to deal with and extremely responsive! Our one concern while booking was the highway noise in the back yard portion of the venue, but with music and speakers you can’t hear the highway. All of our guests commented on how beautiful the venue was and how yummy the food was! We can’t say enough good things!

    Beautiful Historic Venue

    My husband and I recently got married at the Dr. Phillips House. It is the perfect venue for anyone looking to get married in an intimate historic home setting. Angie was amazing from day one and was very quick to respond to our questions throughout the whole process. When wedding day arrived everything from the bridal suite, to the ceremony and reception area and the catering were perfection. All of our wedding guests truly enjoyed the beauty of the home and could not stop talking about how delicious the food was. We 10/10 recommend the Dr. Phillips House as a wedding venue. Thank you for helping make our wedding day special! It'll truly be a day we'll never forget.

    Mazzei Solanky Pre-Wedding Function

    We are so happy to have selected the venue Dr. Phillips House on Lake Lucerne. It is the most beautiful venue i feel and was perfect for our event. From the selection process, tour of the venue, catering, giving us the option to allow for outside catering for the main meal as we required a fully vegetarian meal, to the staff the day of the event were just wonderful and very accommodating. Angie was so patient with us during the planning and all through the day of the event. j She worked with us every step of the way. The staff the day of the event were exceptional. They were attentive and so kind to all of the guests. The appetizers and the desserts provided by the venue were absolutely delicious. Had so many positive comments from our guests.

    When we went to tour it was immediately love at first site. We will admit that from the photos online it didn’t seem that great, but as soon as we walked through the front doors we knew that was our venue. It’s an antique “Savannah-style” estate complete with antique furniture and an old-time feel. It is very affordable, including the catering and bar services. It’s also a bed and breakfast, so you have the option of renting out all 6 rooms in the house for the night with FREE breakfast for those staying the night! They have a large, newly finished courtyard in the back that is perfect for cocktail hour. They are very accommodating with special requests and Angie is a fantastic person to work with. We are very excited to host our special day here!! The price we listed includes buffet dinner and premium open bar, tables, ceremony chairs, linens, 5 vendor meals, 1 overnight stay for bride and groom, venue, cake cutting, etc.

    The Dr. Phillips House is magical!

    We worked with Angie in hosting our wedding for circa 90 people at the wonderful Dr. Phillips House and the whole process was completely seamless.

    We first visited the house as one of four potential destination venues we were taking a look at in the Orlando area and it was truly love at first sight. This venue has everything and we fell in love with the home's classic architecture paired with its dreamy, romantic outdoor spaces - it's beautiful and truly comes alive at night with with twinkle lights.

    The service throughout the evening of our wedding was impeccable and the free-flowing layout of the home is so perfect for mingling no matter how your guests choose to spend their time at your wedding.

    Our one reservation about this venue was its proximity to the highway but we didn't notice the noise at all once the ceremony had begun and the music played. Thank you to Angie and the team for providing us the wedding venue of our dreams. We cannot imagine a more perfect spot to have had our wedding.

    Beautiful venue for our fairytale wedding

    This venue is so stunning and unique, and the Dr. Phillips House was an easy choice for our wedding! Millennia catering does all the food, and they were great to work with as well, with very reasonable rates. Angie was our main point of contact leading up to our event and she was so kind and pleasant! Super helpful, very available, and all around made me feel more at ease to talk to her. Our day-of contact was Amy, and she is the sweetest little thing, and so thoughtful! She made certain that our every need was met for both our wedding and our stay that evening. Even though there were a few hitches due to rain and some schedule shuffling, the team at the Dr. Phillips House worked so hard to make sure it had the least possible impact on our experience. It was truly a beautiful wedding, and I have an incredible vendor team to thank for it!

    Phenomenal Experience

    The Dr. Phillips House was everything that my fiancé and I could have even begun to imagine. Angie and Amy were wonderful to work with throughout the entire planning process. Both of them were extremely flexible and professional. I couldn't recommend this venue more!

    Beautiful property

    We loved hosting our wedding at the Dr. Phillips House. The courtyard with the gazebo was perfect for our outdoor ceremony and the interior of the home was gorgeous for hosting our dinner and reception. It was also very nice to have the bridal suite included in our rental for the night of our wedding. Communication was prompt and professional. Highly recommend this venue!

    This was only the seconds venue that I visited and we booked only a few days after our tour. My wedding was yesterday and this proved the be the absolute perfect place for my intimate wedding. I had about 50 guests and the dining room fit everyone perfectly with comfortable elbow space. The Dr. Phillips house is beautiful with an enchanting historic charm. It can be dressed up or dressed down. The staff was very helpful and flexible. The price is reasonable as well and if u picl Millenia Catering off of their vendor list your wedding will be spectacular. There is not one thing I would change about my wedding event at this venue. The evening became magical as all the market lights came on in the courtyard and we danced the night away.

    I was so stressed trying to find the perfect wedding venue. The Courtyard at Lake Lucerne had everything we wanted and needed for our 70 person wedding. The staff was quick to respond to all of my emails. The bridal party and myself stayed the night prior to the wedding in the Dr. Phillips room and was able to have our hair and makeup stylist doll us up in the room. The room was huge, the gazebo was beautiful, and the lights made the venue something out of a fairy tale!

    The Courtyard at Lake Lucerne is an ideal location for a wedding! We loved the charm, the history and the unique features this venue had to offer. The location is perfect in Orlando, centered in downtown and easy for everyone to get to. The staff are very friendly and great to work with. We had Angie help us and she is amazing, very responsive and patient with me with all of my questions. The venue itself is stunning, it has a charm all in its own and very little decor is needed. We got married in October, it was warm but no rain. At night the lights strung up in the courtyard were so pretty. If you are looking for a venue that is unique, this is a great place to pursue. They have great wedding packages and are affordable, they make it very easy on you! We were so pleased from start to finish and loved this venue! The venue is an active bed and breakfast, so bonus we got to stay in an amazing suite the evening of our wedding! The room was huge! Beautiful decor, very clean and comfortable accommodations.

    I cannot say enough about this venue. As an out of state bride, I was fearing what the outcome would be and not having seen the plAce in person made me nervous. However, throughout my planning, Angie was very attentive and super accommodating. The venue is beautiful at night and gave is that homey feel we so wanted. I would totally recommend this place.

    There aren't enough good things I can say about this place! The staff is such a please to work with. I would call at the oddest hours and someone was always there to assist me. (Although Angie only works day shift)
    Let's talk about the venue: Absolutely beautiful. The pictures don't capture how breathtaking this venue truly is. From the dramatic tall columns at the front of the Dr. Phillips house, to the very back "Garden" area. I couldn't get enough. I actually opted to have my ceremony back in the garden area, cocktail and dancing in the actual courtyard, and dining inside. The Garden is such a hidden gem inside of the heart of Orlando. The forest feel in the midst of a busy city captivated each one of my guests. I was able to put french doors outside and come through them .. getting married under a huge gorgeous tree. The courtyard had lights put up prior to my wedding, much to my surprise and I almost cried of happiness when I saw them. Inside the Dr. Phillips is filled with character and vintage find in every detail of the house. I loved it.
    They have an OPEN BAR for 4 hours for astronomically LOW prices. (Which sold my Husband right away, lol) If you're looking for a beautiful vintage venue- The Courtard is the way to go.

    We had our wedding at the Dr. Phillips House and it was perfect! Everyone was commenting on how magical and surreal the location was - we held our ceremony in the backyard under the gazebo, dinner inside, and then dancing outside again. It is a gorgeous location and an amazing price for what you get. Angie was such a joy to work with throughout the process and we were able to visit the location multiple times throughout the process! I would definitely recommend this location to anyone looking to get married in the Orlando area!
