Magical Weekend

The Edison Ford Winter Estates was the perfect setting for my destination wedding. I had a wonderful experience working with the event team, Maisen and Lindsey. They were responsive, professional, and have meticulous attention to detail. Even though I was planning my day from the other side of the country, Maisen was always an email or phone call away-- I was never left with an unanswered question. My wedding had a lot of moving pieces-- 83 guests, live music, plated dinner, potential bad weather etc. I was able to truly enjoy the whole day, and didn't have to worry about a thing knowing that I have Maisen and Lindsey in my corner. Their hard work really shined, and I can confidently say that to me, it was a perfect day. Thank you!!

Perfect Intimate Wedding Venue

Our wedding with 55 guests was held at sundown on the bank of the Caloosahatchee River at the Estates. The event staff coordinated all our vendors and made sure everything was in place and on time. They also stepped in for the florist who no-showed. Everything about the Estates added to the beauty of the wedding. The botanicals, the river, the sunset...it was magical!

We LOVED everything about our wedding at Edison and Ford

Our wedding at the Edison and Ford Winter Estates was more perfect than we imagined! It would not have been possible without support from Edison and Ford's day-of coordinator, Maisen. We planned our wedding from out-of-state which can be a bit tough, but Maisen helped make it easy and was very approachable. She also worked with all of our vendors to ensure things ran smoothly. After Hurricane Ian, we didn't think we would be able to still have our wedding. Maisen was transparent with everything that was going on - we were very impressed with how Edison and Ford worked to make their facilities quickly operational. We are amazed and very fortunate that we still had our wedding despite the devastation, which we attribute to Edison and Ford - several guests have commented on how our wedding was one of the most beautiful they've been to. Lastly, on the day-of, Maisen was like an additional bridesmaid - she helped bustle my dress, drove us around in a golf cart to make sure we got photos in all the places we wanted, and acted as great moral support. We cannot say enough great things about having an event at Edison and Ford Winter Estates, & highly recommend this venue to anyone considering it!

We have shot many portrait sessions, weddings and other events at this location. It is always a pleasure to work with the staff at the Edison & Ford Estate. The property is kept beautiful year round, its hard to take a bad photo while at this location.
