Manor Magic!!

This beautiful place is now known as The Manor on Lake Juliana, and it is truly the most magical place. When they say "all inclusive" they really do mean it-the team at the Manor helped us so much just by taking care of so many things for us, we had less things to manage and therefore really got to enjoy our planning experience and our wedding day. This venue provides not only a stunning backdrop to your wedding day, with getting ready rooms on site for both bride and groom, but also provides the food, cake, bar, DJ, day of coordinator and planner, your table linens and centerpieces and more! Even their recommended vendor list was incredible-both our photographer and videographer came from those lists and we had the BEST experience with both of them. This is truly one of the best deals in all of central FL for couples looking for an intimate, garden and lake view venue. We cannot say enough about the team at The Manor, everyone from Julie and Gwen, to the wait staff and bartenders, multiple family members and friends told us after how wonderful and attentive everyone on site was. They are superheroes over there, we cannot thank them enough for creating an amazing, memorable day for all of us!

Incredible

We couldn’t have asked for a better all-inclusive yet affordable and flexible wedding venue! Our wedding planner, Julie, worked with us to make our visions a reality while we were planning the wedding from out of state. On the day of, the decorations were exactly as we wanted them, the service was impeccable, and we truly got to enjoy our wedding day! It seems like everything was thought of in advance. 10/10.

Perfect Dream Wedding!

I had my perfect, dream wedding at The Manor on Lake Juliana! First, the location is BEAUTIFUL! There is a beautiful garden, the ceremony area is a beautiful gazebo, terrace area, dining area, dance floor and all of it is right on the lake. Second, the staff is amazing! Julie is so sweet, organized and always made sure to answer all of my questions and the day went so smoothly thanks to her and the staff! Third, it was just PERFECT! The way the timeline of the day was set up went so smoothly, everyone had a great time and said it was a fairytale wedding which I 100% agree with!

Town Manor Bed & Breakfast is one of my favorite locations in Central Florida. Nandy & Don do an exceptional job of keeping this venue absolutely stunning. Please check out their photos on Wedding Wire and their website to see the beauty of this setting. In addition the staff goes out of their way to ensure that the wedding is seamless and enjoyable for the bride & groom, family, wedding guests, and vendors. A top notch wedding location!

As a wedding photographer I found Town Manor to be an exceptional venue! Their lake front location provided provided everything from seperate bride and groom outdoor photos with them silhouetted looking thoughtful out to their future to a gazebo with plenty of room to capture the ceremony moments and well manicured grounds (and pier) for the post ceremony formals and candids. You can count on plenty of charm, having everything well organized and very tasty food. I'm looking forward to shooting my next event there.
