Old Davie School Venue

Kris and Cindy at the Old Davie School Historical Museum (ODSHM) are absolutely wonderful. I had a list of venues lined up for the day but, after visiting the venue and chatting with them, we canceled all of our other tours, went back, and booked the same day. Kris is extremely personable and made us feel special. She asked us questions about ourselves and genuinely felt interested in getting to know us and our story. Kris and Cindy answered any and all questions I had and provided accommodations and solutions to any issues that arose. ODSHM has two venues to choose from with a host of outdoor photo opportunities. I just really liked the feel of the venue for the kind of wedding reception my fiancé and I are looking for. If you are hosting an event, getting married, etc., then go and take a look! Even if you do not book with them, I have a feeling you will not be disappointed!

Beautiful, Unique and reasonably priced venue!

We wanted a venue in south Florida that wasn’t a beach or a hotel and are really glad we found old davie school. Both the indoor and outdoor areas of the venue are beautiful, and Kris was great to work with. The venue is also really reasonably priced, especially given that they provide chairs for the ceremony and chairs and tables for the reception/cocktail hour. Unfortunately there was a threat of rain on our wedding day and the ceremony had to be moved to the cocktail hour area, but the venue handled the sudden change seamlessly. We would strongly recommend the old davie school!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
