About this venue

Welcome to Bridle Oaks! Our scenic wedding venue is situated just outside of Orlando, in Deland, Florida. Deland's best-kept secret, this farm is nestled on five acres of meandering paths, charming forests, and verdant fields. Along with special events, we also house a horse, two donkeys, seven goats, and lots of chickens, who may even stop by for a picture or two. It is a romantic, rural, and unique spot for your momentous occasion. We love our animals and farm as much as our special weddings!

Facilities and Capacity

Ceremonies at Bridle Oaks Barn take place in front of a one-of-a-kind outdoor altar. This consists of a custom-created wooden structure complete with a window, a chandelier, and white drapery. This altar is also set with built-in benches on which your loved ones can sit and watch the emotional exchange of vows. A beautiful leafy forest backdrop adds to the enchanting ambiance. Afterward, you can make your way to our cocktail barn for drinks and hors d'oeuvres. Our custom-built reception barn features authentic wood details, an elaborate six-foot chandelier, and strings of bistro lighting. It can accommodate up to 150 people for dining and dancing and can be jazzed up with a DJ of your choice. Our custom barn is truly the gem of our property. You won't find another barn like ours. That, I can promise!

Look no further! This is the place!

I cannot explain how amazing this venue is. Not only is it an amazing venue, but it is also a whole experience in itself!! I was searching for the perfect venue for about two months and when visiting other venues, I just did not get that "THIS IS THE ONE" kind of feeling. Once I visited Bridle Oaks, I put the deposit down right away without my fiancé, lol!! (we went back together for him to see it of course). Shawna and her staff are just simply wonderful. They made our vision come true and are truly so kind!! It brings me tears of joy as I am writing this because I wish I could just go back to our wedding night! Everything was perfect! I am already planning to have my future baby shower here at the cute cottage they have!! Thank you, thank you, thank you, Bridle Oaks!!! You guys are amazing!

Perfect from day 1

This venue is truly top notch. From the moment we stepped onto the property, we fell in love. The grounds are naturally beautiful with elegant touches that made it the perfect place for our wedding. From the time we booked, Shawna was wonderful to work with and helped make our big day everything we hoped for. She even hatched baby chickens for us to interact with on our wedding day, which was such a special touch.
We booked the cottage for our rehearsal dinner and it was the perfect size and exactly what we needed. We were able to get into the house early to get ready, and we stayed in the bridal suite after the wedding. The house was adorable and beautifully furnished, both for our stay and for the girls to get ready.
Even though Shawna was out of town on our wedding day, she and her staff made everything run smoothly. She was always quick to answer any questions before, during, and after the wedding. The property and the team truly provide a five star experience. I would absolutely recommend Bridle Oaks Barn for a wedding or any other event.

It was the venue of my dreams!

Bridle Oaks was the first venue for our wedding we toured, and truthfully it could’ve been the only one. We loved everything about it when we stopped in, and I loved Shawna’s professionalism and attitude. She was honest, showed all the amazing things about the venue, but straight to the point which I really appreciated. I feel like so many wedding vendors try so hard to sell their stuff and blow glitter in your face, which honestly was my least favorite part about wedding planning, so I appreciated just how real and down to earth Shawna was. She was super helpful and responsive. She gave us a list of her most recommended vendors when we booked which we used very heavily and it made the entire day SO smooth and absolutely perfect! Not only that, but the venue itself is just stunning. None of the other venues we saw held a candle to it. It was everything we wanted and more! Not only that but our guests loved it! We had a couple come to our wedding who reached out to Bridle Oaks to book their future wedding because they adored the area and thought everything just went so perfectly! We also loved the option for my bridesmaids and I to stay in the house the night before the wedding and get ready there that morning as a Saturday bride. It just made for a slow, easy start to the morning that set the perfect tone for the whole day. 10/10 would highly recommend and would plan other events here in the future!

Enchanting, Lush Venue that checks ALL the boxes!

My (now) husband and I toured many different venues throughout Central Florida, but knew we had stumbled upon a GEM when we found Bridle Oaks. The grounds are absolutely enchanting, perfectly blending fairytale landscape vibes with rustic charm and up-to-date amenities and ADA access. There are also several goats, chickens and donkeys that call this place their home which completely added to the charm. When touring the property, it was evident that the owner has really poured her heart into this place!

The owner, Shawna, was very professional and helped walk us through this process. What sold us on the venue was that they work closely with Heartwood Events (Wedding Coordinating services) and Shawna facilitated that process connecting us with our coordinator who was fantastic and has extensive knowledge of the property and local vendors.

Bridle Oaks also has loads of fabulous rentals right there on-site, including a room full of free "rentals" that can be utilized (including signs, lanterns, table numbers, etc). We ending up renting their colorful water goblets, and gold chargers for a small additional cost and it was so worth it. This made it easy on us and really added to the aesthetic.

We and our guests had just the most magical time, so much so, we've continually had family and friends bring up our wedding to us describing how special and impactful that experience was... and we AGREE.

Long story short- 10/10 HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!

Shawna is a Superstar

I don’t even know where to begin. Shawna was the most down to Earth, honest, and fun person to ignite my wedding planning fire! The venue was superb and she was there every step of the way! Please know that you will have the wedding of your dreams if you book here!

Beyond Expectations

Bridle Oaks stood out as the first and only venue in our wedding planning journey, and upon arrival, it became evident that it was the ideal setting for our dream outdoor wedding. The exceptional promptness and communication from Shawna and her team made our celebration feel uniquely tailored to our needs from the start.

Their template for crafting a dream wedding exceeded expectations, streamlining decision-making for my wife and me. The process felt nearly seamless, ensuring everyone experienced the joy of our special day. The flawless execution of every detail was a testament to Kim, our dedicated wedding coordinator from Heart Wood Events.

Despite the morning rain causing some anxiety, Shawna, Kim and the team had contingency plans in place, showcasing her expertise and calm demeanor. The night went off without a hitch.

Bridle Oaks not only provided a beautiful setting but also a team that understands the art of creating unforgettable moments. For those seeking a venue that feels like family and delivers flawless execution, Bridle Oaks is the ideal choice. Don't forget to ask for Eddie during cocktail hour; he won't disappoint!

Wonderful, Magical Experience

Bridle Oaks is a beautiful hidden treasure. All my guests felt like they were transported to a lush, scenic forest just for us. The value was great for the venue and you're able to bring your own vendors, which saved us a lot of money and helped us create the perfect night we wanted. The owner Shawna was very easy to work with as well. I highly recommend this venue in Deland, FL.

Wedding of my dreams!

There will never be enough words to put together to describe my experience with Shawna and her beautiful venue, Bridle Oaks. Alongside Desiree and her team at Heartwood Events. Such down to earth individuals I had the pleasure of planning my gorgeous wedding with. If I could re do my day over again, I’d do it a thousand times more with them. Love Shawna, Love Desiree, Love Bridle Oaks & Heartwood Events ♥️

The most perfect venue & staff!

12/17/2022 at Bridle Oaks will always be the most magical day ever! Where do I even begin? We looked at numerous venues & options when we started to plan our wedding but always kept going back to Bridle Oaks! Overall, it ended up being about a year of planning, but both Shawna & Victoria went above & beyond to make our special day absolutely perfect! Shawna was always available to answer any questions that we had, had the best vendor list which was extremely helpful during the planning process & was just always upfront & honest about everything which we both appreciated. Our guests could not stop talking about how beautiful the venue was! (They are still talking about it almost 4 months later!) The different locations on property for pictures is literally a photographers & bride's dream! We would 100% recommend Bridle Oaks to all of our family, friends, & anyone looking to host a wedding in the Central FL & surrounding areas. Thank you again Shawna for everything!
