Banquet Hall Wedding Venues in Florida

If you're getting married in North Central Florida, you have a lot of venues to choose from. While the World Equestrian Center is certainly one of the finest anywhere, what makes it even better is the staff ready to help you put the wedding of your dreams together. Lots of venues are nice and worth considering, but what sets WEC apart from the others is how they treat you from the moment you step foot on the property when considering this as a place for your wedding, until the lights are turned off following your wedding reception. The options at the World Equestrian Center are vast, and one more amazing then the next. The chapel, right on the property, is the perfect place to say your "I do's" if you're looking for a more traditional place to exchange your vows. But there are also beautiful outdoor locations as well as The Manor. Make sure you check them all out. Following your ceremony, why not hold your reception inside The Manor, an elegant facility perfect for ending your wedding day and giving yourselves and your guests and experience they will not soon forget. No matter where you live, taking a tour and considering having your wedding at the World Equestrian Center is a decision you will not regret. So, reach out to their incredible staff who are ready to help you with anything you need. You will not find better people to work with anywhere!

Unique venue within distinct atmosphere and friendly staff. Mimosas are 8 dollars if you don’t write a review...

WOW! What a special place for an event- especially a wedding. When we were first trying to plan for our special day my husband (then Fiancé) and I had just been to four weddings back to back at old, rustic barns. Not to say there is anything wrong with that, but we knew we wanted something different. Bricks and Brass was the perfect place. They accommodated our 150 guests very comfortably and the whole wedding was just stunning. We loved that the ceremony was able to be held outside under some shade and then have a whole new feel inside for the reception. Everyone we worked with was so kind and willing to help in whatever way we needed. If I had to do it all again, I would not change one thing!

I cannot say enough good things about Crystal Ballroom St Augustine. They are not like the other CBs that we considered; absolutely phenomenal experience from start to finish! My husband and I looked at so many venues, (including CB Ft. Lauderdale) but every one of them were either completely out of our budget, not the esthetic we were looking for, or didn’t include anything except the space itself. We were on the verge of eloping and tried to cancel our appointment with Kat at CB St Augustine out of pure frustration. But she convinced us to come in and take a look; she promised that they were different. That was an understatement. They were EVERYTHING we wanted and needed. From the drive in, at the World Golf Village, we thought we’d never be able to afford this place. We stepped inside and were completely blown away just from the cocktail hour room. The ceremony was so beautiful and the reception was a dream come true. We loved the place so much we opted for a weekday instead of a Saturday and moved our wedding date up 6 months to take advantage of their deals to book it. Planning: Jordan reached out to us 3 months before our big day and was very involved the entire step of the way. She was so approachable, never made me feel like I was bothering her, and brought our dream wedding to life. She was also our day-of coordinator but I think she was more of a super woman! I thought I had everything planned to a T but she thought of everything that I didn’t. She would bring us things before we even asked and she made our ceremony and reception run perfectly! Staff: Shoshani and the CB St Augustine staff were so attentive. I remember standing in the reception, waiting to walk down the aisle, sad that I couldn’t see my groom walk in (I left him a surprise in the front row and wanted to know if he saw it). She went to the ceremony and recorded it for me 🥹. That type of genuine care and attention - you can’t teach that to someone. If you’re considering on having your dream wedding, this is the crème de la crème. Don’t think about it - Book CB St Augustine and Jordan! Thank me later! - Mr. & Mrs. Caswell

Absolutely gorgeous venue and property!!! Right when we saw Marywood we knew it was the one! Marywood is truly a hidden gem! The whole property is stunning and on the water which makes for beautiful photos and absolutely breathtaking sunsets. The property grounds are blessed, so if you are Catholic you can have your wedding ceremony outside on the water. We had our wedding ceremony at our church and had our reception at Marywood. The River Room where we had our reception is gorgeous and perfect for a bigger sized wedding. They have villas on the property that are exquisite and perfect for in town and out of town guests. All our guests raved about their stay in the villas and the whole process with getting them was stress free, which they loved. Our guests loved the common area in the villas to reminisce and have family time with lots of laughter. The bridal suite is so beautiful and homey with lots of natural light. The groom and groomsmen have a wonderful spacious space to get ready in as well! The chef and catering staff were so kind and wonderful and the food was outstanding and so delicious! Everyone was raving about the food. After our wedding everyone was ready to do it all over again the next weekend since they had such a wonderful time! You will be amazed and in good hands with Marywood for sure! All our guests were raving about our reception, the space, the property, the food, the staff, the villas and Brianna! Brianna was absolutely amazing from start to finish! She is so sweet, and SO helpful! She was always there for whatever questions we had and responded so quickly and always made time for little meetings with us. Brianna definitely made the whole planning process stress free and seamless and she was a delight to work with and have with us on our wedding day! She was on top of everything! Brianna definitely knows how to help make your vision perfect and oh so beautiful! The whole Marywood team made our wedding day perfect! Everyone at Marywood was so accommodating, but especially Brianna! We can't say enough about her, she was so wonderful and we are so glad she was with us on our wedding day, I don't know what we would've done without Brianna! Marywood is the perfect venue because they have the beautiful property and space, but also because they handle the reception venue, catering and bar service all with their own staff and everyone was fantastic! Everything was so perfect!! We truly had our dream wedding at Marywood!!!

The River House Events Center in St. Augustine did not disappoint! Our wedding took place on October 10, 2026, right in the middle of hurricane season. We were fairly confident that if a major storm were going to impact our wedding, it would happen well before our big day. Well, Mother Nature had other plans! The only hurricane of the year decided to make an appearance during our wedding weekend! Thankfully, we had an incredible team working behind the scenes. Our wedding planner, Jessica Durr of Seiromem Flowers & Design, and Crystal of River House remained in constant communication, coordinating logistics and developing contingency plans to ensure our celebration went as smoothly as possible. On our wedding day, the weather was anything but predictable. We experienced everything from sunshine and partly clear skies to scattered showers and even a torrential downpour as guests were arriving. Then, just like that, the rain would stop! Through it all, Jessica and Crystal handled the ever-changing circumstances with professionalism, grace, and precision. What I appreciated most was that I knew absolutely nothing about the weather-related challenges or what was happening behind the scenes until AFTER our reception! They protected my peace and allowed me to remain focused on what mattered most that day—becoming Mrs. Johnson! For that, I am incredibly grateful. As for the venue itself, River House was absolutely beautiful and comfortably accommodated our 130 guests. I initially had some concerns about whether the indoor cocktail hour space would be sufficient, especially with a live saxophonist performing. However, after seeing the photographs, those concerns were put to rest. Guests appeared comfortable, many were seated, and everyone seemed to be thoroughly enjoying themselves. The feedback we received was overwhelmingly positive. Our guests loved the venue and the overall experience! There were several features that made River House an excellent choice for our wedding: Covered guest drop-off area: This was an absolute blessing given the unpredictable weather! Guests could be dropped off under cover, helping them avoid the rain. Accessibility: With minimal stairs and an easily navigable layout, our guests with mobility challenges were able to move throughout the venue comfortably. Ample complimentary parking: A huge convenience, especially with so many guests attending. Vendor accessibility: There was plenty of space for vendors to load and unload their equipment and supplies. Full commercial kitchen: Our caterer absolutely LOVED the spacious, well-equipped kitchen, which made food preparation and service much easier. Spacious bar area: The bar easily accommodated multiple bartenders, with plenty of room for our beverages and supplies. Another major benefit is that River House allows clients to provide their own alcohol! Included linens and dinnerware: This was a wonderful convenience that helped simplify planning and reduce the number of items we needed to source separately. I also appreciated River House providing a preferred vendor referral list. We selected The Designed Events Catering from their required catering vendor list, and what an outstanding choice that turned out to be! The food and service were phenomenal, and our guests are still talking about their experience. One area where I believe River House could improve is its wedding planner referral list. Unfortunately, I did not receive responses to my calls or emails from any of the recommended planners, even after sharing that concern with Crystal. Fortunately, I found Jessica Durr of Seiromem Flowers & Design, who was absolutely exceptional. I would strongly encourage River House to consider adding Jessica to its preferred wedding planner list. Her professionalism, attention to detail, and ability to manage unexpected challenges made her an invaluable part of our wedding’s success. Despite the unpredictable weather, our wedding was everything we hoped it would be and more. River House provided a beautiful setting, excellent amenities, and a team that worked collaboratively with our planner to deliver a memorable experience for us and our guests. When approximately 80% of your 130 wedding guests have traveled from out of state, you want them to have an experience that makes the trip worthwhile. Based on the wonderful feedback we received, River House certainly helped us accomplish that goal! Would I recommend River House Events Center for a wedding or special occasion? Absolutely! The venue is beautiful, functional, spacious, and thoughtfully equipped to host an elegant celebration. Most importantly, when Mother Nature threw us a curveball, the team rose to the occasion. Thank you, Crystal and the River House team, for helping make October 10, 2026, such a beautiful and unforgettable day for the Johnsons! 💜

I can’t thank Denise Nova and the entire team at Hialeah Casino Banquet Hall enough for their amazing support at my daughter’s wedding! Everything was absolutely beautiful — the setup, the service, the food, and all the little details. Denise was truly like the wedding planner I couldn’t hire! She even drove all the way to the church to bring my daughter’s veil that we had forgotten. Her kindness and dedication made such a difference. The staff was friendly, professional, and went above and beyond to make the day perfect. We’re so grateful for everything you did to make this celebration unforgettable!

Nothing can compare to how absolutely perfect our wedding day went. This venue is spacious and has the most gorgeous spots to take your wedding photos. The owners are the sweetest people, they were there to answer any questions that I and my husband had, and we never felt rushed. I would highly recommend having your special day here.

This place was absolutely amazing! I loved their getting-ready rooms, their locations. The venue was stunning! I loved how friendly the staff was, and how accommodating they all were! 10/10 I would do it again for my next big event!
