The most magical place
Sydonie mansions staff and preferred vendors were absolutely amazing. Like they created the most amazing wedding I’ve ever been to and it was mine! Lol. From the florist, to the wedding planner, catering, and dj, everyone was a joy to work with and being married there is truly magical. If you’re looking for a magical French garden wedding, Sydonie is your place. 20/10 would recommend

Breathtaking Venue!
Sydonie Mansion is a hidden gem! Immediately after touring this historic mansion for the first time, my husband & I knew without a doubt we wanted to get married here. Everything about it was timeless, romantic and beautiful. The grounds around the venue don’t compare to any other venue in the Central FL area. Sydonie Mansion is such a unique place with no shortage of plants, flowers and amazing views. We got married on Leap Year (February 29, 2024), and it was nothing short of amazing! Our guests raved about the cocktail garden and how breathtaking the overall venue was. The owner, Amy, is so sweet. We keep reliving this day in our heads, and everything about it was memorable. You will not be disappointed by booking Sydonie for your wedding! Shoutout to 28 North Photography (Joel & Sammy) for capturing these bittersweet moments; they’re truly the BEST!!!

Sydonie Mansion was the Perfect location!
We chose Sydonie Mansion as the location for my daughters’s late spring wedding and it could not have been more perfect! The estate is romantic and beautiful, with just the right balance between historic vintage and beautiful landscape. Stacey, the event manager, could not have been more approachable, helpful, or accommodating. She took numerous phone calls for help and information from both myself, mother of the bride, as well as the mother of the groom, and was so helpful and receptive each and every time. The day of the event turned out to be a Very stormy day all across Central Florida, and our team was prepared and ready for anything. As it turned out I think Sydonie was the Only place in the whole area that did Not get rain! It was a miracle! However, had it turned out differently, everyone was well prepared and the day would have been beautiful and gone smoothly just the same! They really were amazing! You can trust them with your most special day I can promise you!

BEST venue and experience ever!
Sydonie was a dream come true for a wedding venue!!!! From day 1 touring this venue, we fell in love and knew it was for us. Sydonie is not the cookie cutter venue; it is an extremely special and unique place that is marked with beauty and antique elegance. The staff was more than delightful and guided us through the whole process so seamlessly. They recommended top vendors and truly want what’s best for you. I couldn’t recommend this place more and it will forever be in our hearts!

Dream wedding
I got married here in February and it was a dream! The venue is gorgeous with endless places for photos. You feel like you are in a different country with the Mediterranean style and Spanish garden. Stacy is amazing and helped so much! She answered all my emails and texts and was so pleasant to work with during all the wedding planning.

Dream Venue!
I can’t say enough good things about this venue. It was perfect. We felt like we had been transported to a magical, faraway, Mediterranean garden and taken care of entirely along the way. Our wedding was a month ago and everyone is still raving about the “gorgeous venue”! Stacey and her team were fantastic from beginning to end. The preferred vendors were awesome. I wish we could do it all again!

Rain or Shine Beauty!
Sydonie was going to be our wedding venue the moment we stepped on property. I truly felt as though I found a hidden gem, it was exactly the venue I was looking for to make our wedding personalized, unique, destination-yet-homey feel. The historic home is incredibly well cared for by its owners, and each time we returned for a visit, more of its beauty was unveiled and its landscaping flourished. Behind all of the beauty was Stacey - she was the true gem behind it all. Stacey felt like my wedding day mom from our first phone conversation, to our first in person meeting, to her sewing my ripped dress moments before the aisle. Her "customer service", which is truly her love of Sydonie and weddings is unmatched. We had a 99% chance of rain and thunderstorms for our day, and Stacey never blinked an eye at my desire to keep whatever we could, outside. She will be there for you through it all, and I truly felt at home during my wedding day. Every detail of our rainy day turned out 10x better than we could've imagined, and I hope to inspire brides to keep your head up rain or shine on your day - esp at Sydonie - there was something magically romantic and intimate about the rain. I recommend Sydonie to each and every one of you searching - and would do it all over again if I could! Sydonie and Stacey will always hold a special place in our hearts.

Outstanding from start to finish!
Sydonie is a true hidden gem! We had such a great experience from our first meeting with Stacey. The property is well maintained and has tons of great photo spots. Our guests raved about the beauty of the property and loved looking around. The vendors Stacey recommended were all exceptional, she really knows who works well at the property. The staff was friendly and helpful too! Sydonie is outstanding!

The most romantic and stunning venue!
I absolutely fell in love when I saw pictures of Sydonie Mansion and when I visited in person, I knew this was my venue! It was the first and only place I toured. Stacey was a DREAM to work with, so accommodating and sweet! She truly wants you to have the best experience possible! I would, and have, recommended this venue to everyone wanting an outdoor wedding!
