Estate on the Halifax is a 10-acre property and wedding venue located in Port Orange, Florida. Its versatile event spaces are set amongst exquisite landscaping that provides an escape from the hurried bustle of everyday life. The tranquil grounds, idyllic water features, and sophisticated spaces create a memorable backdrop well suited to milestone moments.

Facilities and Capacity

Couples can begin their marital journey in The Chapel, a historic building constructed in 1897. Originally a church, the team at Estate on the Halifax had it renovated while preserving many of its original details. It features a bell tower with a bell forged in 1893 which rings out after each couple’s ceremony is complete. Vow exchanges can also occur in the Gazebo. This classic structure is nestled by the lake with a fountain bubbling nearby. It can be decorated with flowers and drapery, allowing couples to add their own touch. The old oak trees that surround the area offer shade from the Florida sun. After the couple has expressed their love and commitment, they and their guests can move to Snow White’s Cottage. This charming building was constructed in the 1930s and it is enveloped by whimsical gardens. The koi ponds, water wheel, and stream enhance the storybook vibe that transports guests as they mingle. From here, newlyweds and their loved ones can venture to the Tavern, which was built in the 1920s. The indoor setting can accommodate guest lists of up to 200 people and has a welcoming interior with natural wood tones throughout. After, couples and their guests can retire to Agatha’s Guesthouse or The Estate House. Agatha’s can also be used for dressing rooms and has a full kitchen, indoor pool, and other amenities that make it a relaxing retreat, which sleeps six. The larger Estate House can accommodate up to 12 guests for overnight stays. Its classic architecture provides character to the property.

Services Offered

The team at Estate on the Halifax offers a number of event rentals for your convenience. This includes the option of white resin chairs that are suitable for outside gatherings. The rental of the Tavern also includes tables and chairs. For ceremony music, the Chapel has an instrument that can be played as a piano or an organ, along with a CD player and speakers. The staff also offers setup and cleanup services and welcomes outside vendors.

Our wedding day was perfect !

With my husband we wanted to thank Cara and all the team from The Estate for everything, we had a blast and everything was perfect in our wedding day, the food was amazing and we wanted to thank all the team for all the work and help. May God bless you and we would recommend the venue to everyone !! Everything was so beautiful. It was a pleasure to work with you guys. The fact that you have this package that allows to enjoy the venue, stay overnight in Agatha’s house and includes the food made everything so special and easy to work with. All our guests were amazed by how beautiful it’s the venue, how good was the food and portions and we all had so much fun ! We can’t thank you guys enough! May God bless you

Cook Wedding November 2024

The Estate on Halifax was the most breathtaking venue we could have ever dreamed of for our special day. From the moment we stepped onto the property, we were captivated by its charm, elegance, and beauty. The meticulously maintained grounds, stunning gardens, and picturesque chapel provided the perfect backdrop for every part of our wedding. It felt like a fairytale brought to life!

Cara was an absolute joy to work with throughout the entire planning process. She was attentive, organized, and always went above and beyond to ensure every detail was perfect. Her expertise and warm demeanor made what could have been a stressful process seamless and enjoyable. She genuinely cared about making our day unforgettable, and it showed in every aspect of the event.

On the day of the wedding, everything ran flawlessly. The staff at the Estate on Halifax was professional and accommodating, ensuring our guests felt welcomed and cared for. Every corner of the property exudes elegance, creating endless opportunities for gorgeous photos.

Our wedding day was everything we hoped for and more, thanks to Cara and the stunning Estate on Halifax. We will forever cherish the memories of this beautiful day and highly recommend this venue to anyone looking for a truly magical experience.

Enchanting - A True Fairytale Venue

After we got engaged, my husband had suggested Florida as a destination wedding spot. It made sense for us, as it was the "half way" point for both of our families. Upon our research, the Estate on the Halifax was one of the highly renowned venues that popped up on the list. We were immediately blown away by the aesthetics without even seeing it! It was charming, elegant, and resembled almost a small village straight out of a fairytale. Cara was always super responsive, professional, and helpful. She even gave us pointers and recommendations that not only fit our budget but were quite a success with our guests.

Cara's family owns the property and there are a multitude of locations to hold the ceremony. My husband and I got married outdoors under the gazebo - a stunning location. The reception is held (typically) hybrid between Snow White's Cottage (for the cocktail hour) and the Tavern. On the night of your wedding, Cara allows you, your spouse, and a couple of close friends/family to stay a night in Agatha's Guesthouse, an elegant, spacious, classic looking house overlooking the water. Agatha's Guesthouse is also where my bridal party and I got ready. My husband and the groomsmen got ready in the stationary train car posted on the property - there are also train tracks surrounding the property giving in that storybook village feel.

Overall, 10/10 would recommend this venue! Affordable, stunning, and intimate!

This venue was the BEST choice made to carry out the wedding!

I was blown away by the entire affair. The servers were on point and made sure everything was handled exactly as envisioned and more. They gave additional insight that went further than what I had, which helped to make it the perfect wedding. We had accounted for the outdoor wedding but Mother Nature had other plans. There was no hesitation to bring everyone into the church for the ceremony instead of making everyone wait for the rain to pass. The bridal room was gorgeous as we prepared for the biggest day, so far, of my life. The groom and his groomsmen had there own little spot which was cute but crowded when everyone was in the train, I honestly that it was a cute idea. The grounds was amazing! There were so many spots that made the pictures turn out great. If you're looking for a place to go, I highly recommend this venue!

Absolutely beautiful!!

Can I give this venue 100 stars???? They were absolutely phenomenal! This place is gorgeous and honestly worth every penny. There's so much room because you have access to all the grounds and it was so nice to be able to stay the night here on our wedding night. We got to have a few close friends hang out with us that night and have a little after party as well. It was also perfect to be able to roam the grounds the next morning as they didn't have a wedding the day after ours. Cara and the team were excellent and we couldn't have picked a better, more beautiful venue for our wedding

The best day ever!

I don't even know where to start because 5 STARS and the word amazing does not do the Estate on the Halifax and team enough justice!! After watching the youtube tour of the Estate I thought, I need to go see this place now! In all honesty seeing it in person will blow you away, because the video tour was great, but in person it is actually a thousand times better!! We got married on 9.10.22 at The Estate, and it was BEYOND PERFECT! Not only is the venue one of the most beautifully manicured places I’ve ever been to for an event, Cara and her team/family are PHENOMINAL!! I wish I could give more than 5 stars because they deserve ALL THE STARS!! This location has all the charm! From the beautifully landscaped gardens, to the ornate on-site locations for day of wedding party prep, it was all so over the top!! This venue literally has it all!! I looked all over Florida for the perfect venue for our wedding, and nothing compares to this Estate! The gardens, the warm glow of the reception hall, the fun train car / man cave, the oh so sweet Agatha’s house with all the vintage charm, the whimsical oak trees, the lush greenery, a fun Snow White Cottage in the garden, the ponds, the statues… it literally checks ALL the boxes!! On top of the great things I just mentioned; the process was made so seamless! From our first chat at the open house on the Estate, to the contract, easy payment options, helping answer any questions quickly, then the meeting before the event, Cara was so on point and made it so easy on me!! She really was on top of everything, and anything I was worried about, she took care of it all!! You are wonderful and so appreciated!!!

Beautiful venue and wonderful staff

I can’t say enough about how MAGiCAL my wedding day was. The estate is wonderful with its gardens, chapel, on site houses and reception areas. Cara the owner/manager is simply amazing. She always answered my questions in such a timely manner and made sure I was always in the know. It is amazing as a bride to feel so confident in your venue especially when the venue does everything they can to help you along the way.

Breathtaking

Our venue was the most beautiful place we've ever seen. We couldn't be more thrilled to have been at the Hallifax. Our guests loved exploring the grounds and the cottage at Agatha's was so breathtaking. If we didn't have to leave so early, we would have loved to stay and enjoy it a bit longer but we understood the turn over speed. Thank you so much for everything.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
