We absolutely fell in love when we saw this place and knew that it was the ONE for our special day! I live in Europe so my mom had to facetime me when she went to look at the venue, and even only seeing it through video did I know that it would be perfect. Chianna was soo lovely through the whole process and really helpful. The landscaping was absolutely gorgeous! I especially love the backdrop behind our arch where we had our ceremony with all the lush plants. And of course the bougainvillea!! Everyone raved about how lovely it was to have cocktail hour under it. We really couldn't believe how smooth and stress-free everything was and if I could I would do it over and over again at the Peña-Peck House! I highly recommend this venue if you want something classic, elegant, easy, and special!

Sunken Gardens was simply breathtaking—the perfect setting for our wedding day. From the moment we booked to our final walkthrough and rehearsal, the entire team was incredibly helpful, accommodating, and kind. They made the whole process feel seamless and stress-free. We held our ceremony outdoors on the North Lawn, which was absolutely stunning, and our reception under the clear tent on the Wedding Lawn—such a dreamy setup that allowed the beauty of the gardens to shine through all evening. For cocktail hour, we hosted guests in the Oak Pavilion, where the birds made a special appearance—such a unique and unforgettable touch that everyone loved. The entire setting feels magical. Everywhere you turn is lush, vibrant, and picture-perfect. I still get chills thinking about how beautiful it all was and how special it felt to celebrate our day there. If you’re looking for a venue that feels like a hidden oasis and delivers an unforgettable experience, Sunken Gardens is truly unmatched.

We recently had our small wedding at the Historic Entrance of Pinecrest Gardens, and it was nothing short of magical. The venue is absolutely stunning—lush, tropical greenery surrounds the area, and the historic stone architecture gives it a timeless, romantic feel that felt perfect for an intimate celebration. The staff at Pinecrest Gardens were incredibly helpful and attentive throughout the planning process and on the day of the event. Everything was well-organized, and they worked seamlessly with our vendors to make sure the day went smoothly.

The venue was awesome, it was raining during most of the wedding and last minute had to add on a tent. For the space, I didn't think a tent would look good, and reluctantly ordered the tent just a few hours before the event. It looked amazing, and even with the rain, it didn't really matter. Everyone had a great time, and the tent made it even better and more intimate. Would definitely go back at some point

Everything went as planned…. In fact it was perfect! The Bonnet staff were so accommodating to our needs. No one wanted to go home at the end of the wedding. The next few days we heard from friends and family about how lovely the setting was, the old world charm and history. Susanne and her team could not have been more helpful. So glad the Bonnet was available to us. Thank you!!!! ❤️❤️❤️

We had an incredible experience hosting a November wedding at the Burroughs Home. We had about 100 people wedding party included. Getting ready in the historic home itself made for some really incredible details/getting ready shots. Melissa was incredible as a wedding planner and we worked with her ~10 months out and up to the day of the wedding. Our guests loved the river views. We added on the option for tours inside the historic home and multiple guests enjoyed that too. The entire home staff day-of was very helpful and friendly and all guests were well tended- too. We selected Complete Weddings to coordinate videography, photography and DJ, and that was really convenient. The vendors knew the venue very well. We were thrilled with Christine for photography, Martin for videography, and Alex as DJ; all were quickly responsive via email or text and had no problem setting up meetings via zoom (as we do not live locally). We hired Glamology for hair and makeup and 100% would recommend, Elise and her assistant were incredible, everyone's hair and makeup truly stayed 1-+ hours. Fort Myers was hit by multiple hurricanes in 2 months leading up to our date but we got very lucky with minimal if any damage- keep that in mind if selecting this venue in late fall.

Casa Feliz really is a special place! It's beauty beams at you right when you pull up and it's history is just so incredible. Having grown-up in Orlando and being familiar with Gamble Rogers (the architect of this home), Casa Feliz was definitely high up on my list when we started the hunt for our wedding venue. When we arrived for our first tour with our parents, everyone knew right away that this was going to be our venue. It's Spanish inspired architecture remind my husband's family a lot of where they all grew up in Brazil making it even more special to us. It's beauty is one thing, but truly it's the partnership with Arthur's Catering that makes this venue even better. Our guests could not stop talking about how delicious the food was and how attentive the staff was. Everyone working at Casa Feliz & Arthur's was so professional and no detail was unnoticed. Working with Laurie was absolutely so fun and amazing! We really did vibe and hit it off from day one! Casa Feliz will always have such a special place in our hearts and now looking back on our day, I would not change one single thing! Everyone working that day truly made my vision come to life flawlessly. It really was just the best!

Different from other venues, we only had to book the space, and the rest was left to us. We could choose any vendors, and that allowed us to curate our wedding reception exactly how we wanted it. I've noticed other venues require food and drink minimum, but this was not the case at all. We were more than happy with the venue and loved every aspect. 10/10 venue, 12/10 staff

The White Room is the best venue in northeast Florida! We toured several other venues and nothing quite compares. Location, price, and experience is unmatched. Destiny was the absolute best coordinator! We had the pleasure of working with her from booking all the way until the end of our wedding night. She was there every step of the way and answered every question promptly and with professionalism. She assisted us with each choice and made sure everything was perfect. As the bride I did not worry about a single detail on our wedding day. She truly has a gift. I can not imagine a better venue or experience. Our guests have not stopped boasting about the night. hope I can attend an event at the White Room in the future!

ok I'll start with the most important thing - there is an approved vendors list. There might be a little flexibility with the photographers, DJs, and transportation, BUT I would run those by Angie to make sure you can hire them. However, this info is provided to you before you sign the contract. If you are willing to be limited to your vendor choices (which I should mention makes your job easier, because you have a list of vendors, contact them, pick your fave ones and you're done.... and all the vendors on the list are amazing so you won't miss out) you'll be ok. I feel like people that complain are the ones who just ignore the list and start hiring their vendors.... but that's on them... One more thing to mention (which is pretty obvious) is that the venue is outdoors, so you have to reserve a tent just in case it rains. Now back to my review and my experience with Angie (wedding coordinator) and the venue (both ceremony and reception were held at the Lllambias house). Angie is absolutely amazing. I have no idea what I would do without her. She was very prompt with emails, extremely friendly, professional, and willing to help out with anything you ask her for. She guided us through the process during the rehearsal, helped with the set up before the wedding, coordinated everything during, set up our cake on the well, and helped with the clean up. What else can you ask for? Also, our tent rental company set up the wrong tent (old and dirty) the day before the wedding. She called me and made sure I was aware and didn't freak out once got to the rehearsal. Then, I didn't have to do anything - she called the rental co for me and arranged everything to be changed. Tent was replaced the next morning without me having to call anyone. I can't thank her enough for everything she's done. as for the llambias house - I wouldn't have my wedding anywhere else - it's gorgeous!
