About

Harmony Gardens Tropical Wedding Garden is an outdoor wedding venue located in De Leon Springs, Florida. This venue originally served as a retreat for Joe King and his wife. He founded Aragon Ranch almost 50 years ago and it remained in the family for many years after. It was his wife that originally started the renowned gardens that are a highlight of the venue. First their son and now their granddaughter Leah and her husband Joe took over and began tending to the property. Today, they offer up their gardens for couples to exchange their vows in and experience an unforgettable oasis as their wedding backdrop.

Facilities and Capacity
The entire Harmony Gardens Tropical Wedding Garden rests on the 35-acre ranch. Due to its setting in the sub-tropics, you will be surrounded by plenty of charming oaks and tropical plants such as exotic gingers, heliconias, elephant ears, and more. The woodland gardens make up seven of the acres and are quite romantic for weddings of all sizes and styles. In fact, there is more than enough room for you to invite up to 150 of your loved ones. In this setting, couples will find lovely water features such as a pond and fountain. Romantic details fill the space such as the lighted pathways and twinkle lights. There is even a marble dance floor, which is perfect for entertaining your guests. Regardless of the weather, you will be able to host your ceremony or reception outdoors because there is a covered dining pavilion. If you need a private place to prepare, there are separate bride and groom rooms.

Services Offered
When you host your ceremony and reception at the Harmony Gardens Tropical Wedding Garden, you will receive the assistance of the staff and be able to relax while they take care of your day of wedding coordination. You can enjoy the venue’s farm tables, white garden chairs, and table linens. The team can even help you out with your vendor selection process by providing you with a list of their preferred vendors. Parking is also available for the convenience of you and your guests.

Excellent Outdoor Venue!!

We fell in love with Harmony Gardens the moment we started the tour. The outdoor spaces for the ceremony, reception, and dance floor were amazing and exactly what we were looking for. Janice and Nicole were also fantastic to work with, very responsive and eager to help us have the best experience possible.

The venue is quite large, with more than enough parking, and is only a short drive outside of Deland. The venue was also very competitively priced. I would 100% recommend Harmony Gardens to any friends or family looking for a wedding venue.

Magical night in the woods.

We recently had our wedding at Harmony Gardens on March 2nd, 2024, and it was the perfect venue for our special day. From the moment we first visited, we were captivated by the beautiful, well-maintained gardens and the serene atmosphere. The venue’s natural beauty provided a stunning backdrop for our ceremony and reception, making our wedding photos absolutely breathtaking.

The staff at Harmony Gardens were exceptional. Nicole, our coordinator, was professional, attentive, and genuinely committed to ensuring our day was perfect. She went above and beyond to accommodate our needs and preferences, making the planning process smooth and stress-free. Her attention to detail was evident in every aspect of the venue’s setup.

Our guests were equally impressed with Harmony Gardens. Many complimented us on choosing such a picturesque and charming location. The venue's layout allowed for a seamless flow from the ceremony to the reception, and the amenities provided were top-notch.

We also recommend using their sister company, Harmony & Love, to provide catering for the event. Everything we ate was unforgettable. Malcolm and Cindi, our caterers, did an outstanding job. Our menu included steak, butternut squash soup, pasta primavera, a salad bar, and an unbelievable number of desserts. The food was delicious and beautifully presented, adding an extra touch of elegance to our celebration.

Thank you, Harmony Gardens, for providing such a magical setting for our wedding. We couldn't have asked for a better venue to celebrate our special day. We highly recommend Harmony Gardens and its catering service to anyone looking for a beautiful and memorable wedding location.

Perfect in every way!

My wedding was last weekend and I cannot say enough positive things about Harmony Gardens! They went above and beyond for absolutely everything. This venue is simply gorgeous and the wedding planners that work there are exceptional. Everything on our day was planned so perfectly, and Morgan (our wedding planner) helped communicate with all our vendors to ensure everything ran smoothly. As a bride I can tell you that it was SO NICE to feel like everything was being taken care of on the day of the wedding. All our guests were raving about how beautiful and unique our venue was. I cannot say enough positive things about the place and Morgan (and her team)! If you are in or around the DeLand area I highly highly recommend this venue for your special day!

My Fairytale Wedding

Picking Harmony Gardens as our venue was the best decision we could have made. From the moment that we stepped on the property we knew it was where we wanted to get married. The scenery is completely breath taking. The staff keeps it so well maintained. We had the pleasure of working with Morgan as our coordinator and she was a dream. I don't think we could have planned and gotten through our wedding without her. She is very responsive and does so in a timely manner. She knows what she is doing and she does it very well. I cannot recommend Harmony Gardens enough, I can't imagine getting married anywhere else. A true fairy tale location.

Perfect venue for a perfect day

We were actually the first couple at Harmony Garden to be impacted by COVID. Our wedding date was March 21, 2020 and less then a week before the wedding, we made the tough call to reschedule it. Morgan at HG was a gem to work with and so utterly supportive. The one good thing is that we more or less got to plan 2 weddings with her! :) The venue itself is unique, not only for the beautiful surroundings but "sectioned" layouts. Guests could enjoy a quiet dinner without having to shout over the dance floor music. With COVID still in full swing with our rescheduled date, we were grateful to have an outdoor wedding that offered plenty of opportunities for guests to wander and social distance. We really couldn't say more positive things about the location and staff. You'll have endless beautiful memories and pictures if you choose Harmony Gardens for your big day

The BEST outdoor venue!

This outdoor venue is GORGEOUS - you can save money on decorations because this venue is already stunning!! No matter the time of year these gardens are lush and vibrant. Something about this place just brings you to life! The market lighting throughout the garden sets the atmosphere we were looking for, sooo dreamy. They offer a rainy day back up plan for the ceremony and A/C cottages for preparations the day-of. There are so many places throughout the garden which allows for the guests to mingle while enjoying all of the natural beauty. Our day-of coordinator Morgan and her helper were both amazing! Quick to get us anything we requested, drinks when we were taking photos and kept all of us right on schedule. Anything I needed, at any time, was fulfilled by Morgan and the Harmony Gardens team, 5 stars!!

Best day of my life!

Choosing Harmony Gardens was the easily the best decision for my wedding planning. From the moment we entered the venue, I knew that nothing else would compare to it. Morgan, our day of coordinator, was so easy to talk to and work with. Her demeanor and expertise was exactly what we needed. And she was so much more than a day of coordinator. She helped me whenever I needed her for the whole process!

The gardens are breathtaking and so beautiful. I had no stresses on my wedding day because everything was taken care of in advance. There was even a back up plan for rain, and thankfully we didn’t need it. The whole day was so amazing.

I would highly recommend Harmony Gardens. Not only because the venue itself is perfection, but because of the people that work there to make your day magical. I can’t express enough how happy I was to be able to have my special day at such a romantic venue.

This venue is a hidden gem!

I dont even know where to start with how grateful I am for this venue. Growing up I was never the kind of girl who planned out her dream wedding, so just trying to find a venue seemed like a daunting task. I knew that I wanted a nice outdoor venue for a medieval themed wedding but after 2 weeks of searching I was starting to think that the only outdoor venues were barns, vineyards or country clubs. Then once I found Harmony Gardens I thought “this is perfect!” I loved that the venue was a one-stop-shop. They have an amazing Day-of coordinator included in the rental fee and a list of their preferred/recommended vendors for everything else. All the vendors we picked from the list were amazing and we regularly referred to them as “the dream team”.
The on-site staff are all amazing. Janice and Morgan were fantastic and very helpful in the months leading up to the wedding with helping answer any questions and provide suggestions etc. Everything during the wedding went off without a hitch! I barely had to worry about anything the day of. They were on top of making sure everything was in place and that everyone knew where they were going. I'm forever grateful for the two of them making our wedding as perfect as it was.

Magical Venue, Amazing Support

It was back in 2014 when we stumbled upon Harmony Gardens, during the first year of our engagement. We took a trip to visit the venue and instantly knew it was the place we wanted to get married. However, after much consideration, we decided to put our marriage off until we were in a better situation to spend and plan. Despite this, we were set on Harmony Gardens.

It turns out 2019 was our year! We contacted Harmony Gardens again, and they readily set us with an appointment to come visit the gardens. We were smitten the first time we had seen HG four years prior, but revisiting made us realize what a gem these gardens really are. The owners made incredible upgrades to the amenities that makes the space seem like out of a fairytale! The owners are constantly adding to the outdoor-wedding experience. We can only imagine what they have in mind next, and are excited for what it will be like for future brides and grooms!
This venue can only be described as stunningly gorgeous and the true essence of what nature Florida provides. The land is well taken care of and hard work is put in to maintain its beauty. The scenery is just what we were looking for as the backdrop for our special day.

In addition to the natural backdrop, there are great facilities to use for the wedding. The venue has everything a wedding needs to keep guests comfortable. We cannot get over how wonderful it was to use the mosaic heart dancefloor...truly one of the highlights. The bridal suite was spacious; the makeup artist and hair stylist had no problems setting up. The dining pavilion is goooooorgeous!

There is value in this venue beyond just the space. Harmony Gardens has brilliant day-of coordinators. Everyone involved with this venue worked so incredibly hard. They really did care to make everything perfect and special. We originally communicated with Morgan, who is communicative, organized, and just as excited for your day as you are! Our day-of coordinator was Janice, who is an absolute ROCKSTAR. She communicated with all the vendors and completely took that stress off us and our family. She met with us prior to the wedding and also for the rehearsal at the venue. She provided so much assistance the day of, we were all blown away! Thank you for making our day so magical, Janice!

If you’re looking for an outdoor Florida-vibes or magical-gardens wedding venue, you should absolutely look no further than Harmony Gardens. Every person we have spoken to regarding our wedding has praised the venue. Many have said it was the “best wedding they’ve ever been to”. It feels wonderful to hear that as the bride and groom and we have Harmony Gardens to thank for that.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.

What an absolutely beautiful location for any event, but especially for that special day of a wedding. Spring brings out all of the blossoms on the variety of plants throughout the venue, especially the azaleas. And when the jasmine is in bloom - the fragrance is electrifying. This outdoor venue has all you could need - Bride's room, groom's room, chandeliers and torches throughout, great bar area, rose garden wedding area, and so much more.

As beautiful as Harmony Gardens were when we shot a wedding there , the owners are refusing to rest on what they have, funding even more improvements to this pristine property which is quickly becoming the jewel of Central Florida. Yes it's a drive --- but what you get at the end of that drive is paradise.

I've worked quite a few weddings at Harmony Gardens. They provided an excellent background and venue for both the ceremony and reception. They made all necessary provisions for bad weather. I recommend them highly.
