A fabulous unique venue in the heart of winter park

The Winter Park Events Center crew were absolute gems to work with, they answered every little question I had and helped us with some great suggestions along the way. We had a fairly small wedding for the space (it can fit like 250 and we were approx 80), but the space was perfect. People were in awe of how beautiful a venue it is. The ease of seeing the calendar of dates available online made this such a quick and easy decision from the start, but the kindness that Joel and Alexandra and the staff had was the best. If you're looking for a unique space that is truly transformable to your vision, with support by a great staff... look no further!

Gorgeous space with wonderful staff!

My now-husband and I went to this venue and neighboring library during it's opening weekend, and mentioned to each other that this would be a stunning place to get married. Fast forward to getting engaged and starting the venue hunting process, this was the first place we considered. Once we had an initial tour, we knew we didn't want to look elsewhere. Leon, Joel, and Alexandra took great care of us during the planning process and were so accommodating to all of our questions. The venue is obviously stunning, but it really was the perfect backdrop to our celebration. I cannot recommend the people or the space enough.

The Perfect Reception

From the moment I walked into the Winter Park Events Center, I knew it was the place I wanted our reception for our wedding to be held! The amount of space you get is truly amazing. Cocktail hour was on the roof and many of our guests loved it! The space did not feel crowded at all with 110 guests plus all of our vendors. The Winter Park Events Center Team has been so helpful since day one. I have gotten multiple comments on our wedding photos and how well those turned out!

The space speaks for itself, but the team is fabulous!

Joel is truly a breath of fresh air and an absolute pleasure to work with from beginning to end! Joel met with my husband and I AND our vendors multiple times to talk everything through from layout, back up plans if weather was an issue, and overall success of our wedding at the Winter Park Event Center and I cannot properly put into words how great he was! He made my husband and I feel a mixture of extreme excitement while also feeling completely at ease each step of the way that everything would be perfect on our wedding day… AND HE WAS 100% CORRECT! He was attentive and extremely responsive to any questions or concerns from our side while also knocking the “day of” duties out of the park! If the WP Event Center's beauty, location, and layout wasn’t enough for us to have loved our wedding day; Joel was the cherry on top!!! We cannot thank him and the entire staff of the event center enough and 10/10 recommend if you’re thinking of hosting ANY event to give them a call!!!

Magical wedding!

Thank you WPFM for a great venue. It was truly magical and the space inside is just beautiful! pur guests loved the charm of the building and we had our open bar and photo book on the patio and it was perfect! It allowed guests to enjoy dancing inside and still enjoy the festivities outside too! It was truly perfect! we did add an extra hour to make sure our vendors had plenty of extra time to set up but WPFM always accommodated and worked with us. Sometimes it took them a day or two to respond but they were always very helpful. Thanks for making our wedding magical!!

Beautiful location, great value

This park is so serene and breathtaking. The gorgeous trees covered in moss and a spot overlooking the lake for our ceremony. We couldn’t have asked for a better location for our intimate wedding. Planning was so easy and the price was unbeatable.

Perfect Wedding Venue

This is such a beautiful place to have a wedding at. After reading all of the reviews I was actually afraid I was not going to book it in time. I ended up having a last minute wedding with 4 Months to plan and fortunately they were available for the date that I wanted which was October 4th ! The venue literally decorates itself and the lighting inside is amazing. I had my ceremony in the patio area, and the only thing I would say that sucks about it is the train. Luckily the train passed a couple of minutes after we were done with the ceremony! Samantha was my point of contact and let me tell you she is such a great person to work with ! She answered all of my questions and even made me feel a little calmer about the setup of everything. You just need to send her a drawing of where you want the tables and the sizes and once you get there they are already set up. My wedding was small and intimate and this was the perfect place for it! I had candles on the tables so it gave it more of that romantic feel. I would definitely recommend people to have their wedding here. The price is unbelievable ! It was worth every penny.

Great venue for the price

This is the best bang-for-your-buck venue in the central Florida region. I booked this venue about 15 months out since I read that this venue books up quick. Anyone who has their heart set on this venue, let me tell you, it's worth the wait. I loved how the ceremony and reception were all in the same location; we didn't have to worry about guest transportation whatsoever. Janna was a major help in ensuring I had all my needs taken care of. The day-of employee was friendly and let me hide in the office before the ceremony. Overall, money well spent!

Winter Park, FL

This venue was perfect for my daughter's cocktail hour and wedding reception! The cocktail hour started at 5:00 and was on the outdoor patio. The bar was set up on the patio and stayed there all evening. We had a string duo playing there for the cocktail hour which added to the atmosphere. The reception inside was beautiful. The ceiling lights were magical and the only other lights we had came from the fairy lights in the centerpieces. The venue was clean as were the bathrooms. With the tables set up and the decor in place the room was beautiful. Many guests commented on how beautiful the venue was and how unique the look was. We had close to 130 guests and the space was not crowded. We had 14 round tables and one sweetheart table, the DJ, buffet table and small tables near the door and there was still ample room for the dance floor. Guests were able to take advantage of the outdoor patio where the bar was and the inside area where the music was. Thank you all at the Farmer's Market for making their wedding reception so beautiful and memorable!

Absolutely perfect!

The Winter Park Farmers Market was the absolute perfect venue for our wedding! The old brick train station is such a unique location right in Downtown Winter Park. Such a beautiful setting in a beautiful town. Tables, chairs, and lighting are included which was a plus. There was plenty of room for our crowd and the patio was a great space for our bar and for people to mingle. I can’t say enough about the Farmers’ Market and about the friendliness and professionalism of the staff at the City of Winter Park.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
