The event space is gorgeous and meticously decorated. The view of the lake and seaplanes landing and taking off is breath taking. We had a corporate meeting using the groom's room. It was the perfect setting for our function and also Amy & Carrie were the perfect hosts. The venue pricing is also very reasonable. Would definitely recommend Tavares Pavilion on the Lake as a special place to hold your next function.

We had our wedding at the Tavares Pavilion earlier this month. Carrie and Mike were very kind and helpful. The venue is awesome! And so beautiful. The sunset over the pier and the glass windows behind the wooden staircase made for some amazing photos! Our out-of-town guests were in awe and said it felt like being on a cruise. The Pavilion is truly breathtaking.

My husband and I got married here on 2/25/17. It was our dream location to get married, a place overlooking the water. The entire process was painless, the staff was so helpful and truly cared about making our day special. Carrie was always prompt with responding to emails and her staff knows what they are doing. Michael walked us through every detail and worked with me back and forth on specifics that I wanted. The venue is so beautiful that we used minimal decorations for the ceremony and reception because you truly don't need much to have beautiful pictures. The guests were blown away by its beauty and so were we. Highly recommend this place for any wedding. Thank you to the staff for everything!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
