The Howey Mansion

As Orlando wedding photographers, Howey Mansion is without a doubt one of our favorite venues to capture weddings at. This venue gracefully blends historic grandeur with timeless elegance, offering a captivating backdrop for couples to craft their wedding day story. Howey Mansion is a sanctuary of sophistication and heritage. From the moment you set foot within its grandeur, you're greeted by an atmosphere that's both regal and inviting. As photographers, we're obsessed with the ornate details and the storied architecture that provide a backdrop for capturing moments of love and celebration. From the upstairs getting ready rooms, to the outdoor ceremony locations, to the secret prohibition room, to the reception courtyard and indoor main area, everything is immaculate. The way natural light dances through the plethora of windows and plays upon the vintage interiors creates an ambiance that's both ethereal and enchanting. We’re able to capture the entire wedding day from start to finish with perfect lighting.

Beyond the aesthetics and overall feel, the staff of Howey Mansion are second to none. Fran and her team go above and beyond to make couples dreams a reality, while also paying close attention to preserving the pristineness of the venue.

For couples seeking a wedding venue that's a fusion of historic allure, timeless beauty, and a personable staff, Howey Mansion is the venue for you!

From the moment I toured Howey Mansion in September 2023, I knew it was something special. It was actually the very first venue I toured for our December 2025 wedding — and nothing else compared after that.

The mansion itself is absolutely stunning and full of character. The historic charm, architecture, and unique details throughout the property create such a romantic and timeless atmosphere. Because we had a December wedding, they were very transparent from the beginning about their Christmas décor. It leans more toward authentic 1920s holiday style, which honestly made the experience even more magical. I didn’t mind it at all — it added so much flair and warmth to the evening and complemented the historic feel beautifully.

Communication throughout the planning process was excellent. The team was organized, responsive, and clear about expectations. They are strict about using preferred vendors, but every vendor on their list was fantastic to work with. We mostly stuck with their recommendations, and we’re so glad we did — it made the entire process seamless.

On the day of the wedding, everything went perfectly. The staff was professional, attentive, and truly helped ensure the day flowed smoothly from start to finish. We felt completely confident and supported the entire time.

We were beyond happy with our venue choice, the staff, and every decision we made leading up to the big day. If you’re looking for a wedding venue outside of Orlando with historic charm and incredible service, we would absolutely recommend Howey Mansion!

As a Preferred Photographer at The Howey Mansion, I can say without hesitation that this is one of the most exclusive, high‑end wedding venues in Central Florida.
