Beautiful Venue!
We postponed our wedding due to the pandemic from January 2021 to January 2022 and they helped accommodate us flawlessly. We got married at the courthouse on our original date and The Heitman House team allowed us and our parents to come to the venue for a mini photoshoot at our empty venue which made the day so special. Once we finally had our wedding celebration is more beautiful than I ever imagined. Although it ended up being the coldest day in Fort Myers in the last 10 years, the team was able to get lots of heaters to help keep our guests warm at the last minute!
We highly recommend Heitman House for all of your wedding needs!! They have a great list of preferred vendors that were all just as amazing!
