    Absolutely amazing!

    Gorgeous landscaping, amazing people, perfect setting for yoir perfect day. If you ever dreamed of a carefree day, this is the place to be, Cara helps to make everything easy. She is quick to answer messages and always cares. If I could give them more stars I would.

    Absolutely beautiful!!

    Can I give this venue 100 stars???? They were absolutely phenomenal! This place is gorgeous and honestly worth every penny. There's so much room because you have access to all the grounds and it was so nice to be able to stay the night here on our wedding night. We got to have a few close friends hang out with us that night and have a little after party as well. It was also perfect to be able to roam the grounds the next morning as they didn't have a wedding the day after ours. Cara and the team were excellent and we couldn't have picked a better, more beautiful venue for our wedding

    This venue was the BEST choice made to carry out the wedding!

    I was blown away by the entire affair. The servers were on point and made sure everything was handled exactly as envisioned and more. They gave additional insight that went further than what I had, which helped to make it the perfect wedding. We had accounted for the outdoor wedding but Mother Nature had other plans. There was no hesitation to bring everyone into the church for the ceremony instead of making everyone wait for the rain to pass. The bridal room was gorgeous as we prepared for the biggest day, so far, of my life. The groom and his groomsmen had there own little spot which was cute but crowded when everyone was in the train, I honestly that it was a cute idea. The grounds was amazing! There were so many spots that made the pictures turn out great. If you're looking for a place to go, I highly recommend this venue!

    The best day ever!

    I don't even know where to start because 5 STARS and the word amazing does not do the Estate on the Halifax and team enough justice!! After watching the youtube tour of the Estate I thought, I need to go see this place now! In all honesty seeing it in person will blow you away, because the video tour was great, but in person it is actually a thousand times better!! We got married on 9.10.22 at The Estate, and it was BEYOND PERFECT! Not only is the venue one of the most beautifully manicured places I’ve ever been to for an event, Cara and her team/family are PHENOMINAL!! I wish I could give more than 5 stars because they deserve ALL THE STARS!! This location has all the charm! From the beautifully landscaped gardens, to the ornate on-site locations for day of wedding party prep, it was all so over the top!! This venue literally has it all!! I looked all over Florida for the perfect venue for our wedding, and nothing compares to this Estate! The gardens, the warm glow of the reception hall, the fun train car / man cave, the oh so sweet Agatha’s house with all the vintage charm, the whimsical oak trees, the lush greenery, a fun Snow White Cottage in the garden, the ponds, the statues… it literally checks ALL the boxes!! On top of the great things I just mentioned; the process was made so seamless! From our first chat at the open house on the Estate, to the contract, easy payment options, helping answer any questions quickly, then the meeting before the event, Cara was so on point and made it so easy on me!! She really was on top of everything, and anything I was worried about, she took care of it all!! You are wonderful and so appreciated!!!

    Breathtaking

    Our venue was the most beautiful place we've ever seen. We couldn't be more thrilled to have been at the Hallifax. Our guests loved exploring the grounds and the cottage at Agatha's was so breathtaking. If we didn't have to leave so early, we would have loved to stay and enjoy it a bit longer but we understood the turn over speed. Thank you so much for everything.

    The best wedding, venue, and staff!

    First of all, I want to thank Cara (the owner) for being so personable and helpful since we booked our wedding in 2020. The Estate constantly invests back into their venue creating new bathrooms, train car seating areas, and paved walkways to show they want the best experience for their guests. We have seen the place change for the better over the past two years since deciding to make this our venue. Cara’s preferred venue list is solid and professional. The staff on the day of the wedding was so much fun and delightful. Everyone had an amazing time. I highly recommend booking your wedding here. They are the best!!

    Magical venue

    Wow, what an amazing venue for a wedding. The Estate was the perfect place for our winter wedding! The oak tree was our ceremony site, and we had a beautiful reception in the tavern. There is a guest house on site for the bridal party to get ready in, as well as, an over night stay for the bride and groom. The guys got ready in the train car on the property and enjoyed the neat experience it has to offer. The estate provides top notch photo opportunities. All of our guest were in awe at the beautiful property and all it has to offer.

    There are multiple ceremony options including a chapel, or gazebo. The gardens are maintained very well provide a great place for people to mingle.

    It’s definitely my top recommendation for any wedding!

    Estate on the Halifax's reply:

    Thank you for such kind words! We are so grateful for the incredible clients we get to work with and make amazing wedding memories for.

    Hidden Gem

    The Estate on the Halifax is a true hidden treasure! My husband and I looked at ten different venues, and this one was the very first one we visited. While looking at all the other venues, we could not stop comparing them to the Estate on the Halifax, and they all fell short. I absolutely loved the look of the Estate, from the charming cottage in the gardens to the beautiful tavern where receptions are held. The train car gives this venue its own charm that the guys instantly liked. All of our guests were amazed with the space, and I am still receiving compliments two weeks later! Cara and her team are exceptional and were very accommodating to any ideas or changes we wanted. Cara was very professional and I really felt like she cared about our wedding and making sure it was perfect. Plus we got to stay the night after our wedding on property at Agatha’s House, a gorgeous 4 room home with pool and hot tub! With so many beautiful locations to choose from around the area, we are so glad we picked Estate on the Halifax.

    Beautiful venue and wonderful staff

    I can’t say enough about how MAGiCAL my wedding day was. The estate is wonderful with its gardens, chapel, on site houses and reception areas. Cara the owner/manager is simply amazing. She always answered my questions in such a timely manner and made sure I was always in the know. It is amazing as a bride to feel so confident in your venue especially when the venue does everything they can to help you along the way.

    Beautiful Venue, Awesome Staff

    When I got engaged I started searching for wedding venues. When I came across the Estate I knew I had to tour it. After touring it was not even a question if I was going to get married there, we changed the original date we wanted just to book here as the other date was already taken.
    Of course with COVID we, unfortunately, had to postpone. Cara was SOOOO ACCOMODATING with helping us through everything. I had friends also getting married who told me nightmare stories about how their venue treated them in the process and I was so thankful to have had Cara. There was no issue when changing our date, we were allowed to pick any day that was available. They did not add any fees to our contract price, or change any pricing which was much appreciated.
    The grounds at the Estate are gorgeous and truly make for a whimsical wedding. If I could do it all over again I would choose the Estate in a heartbeat.

    Beautiful Venue and Fantasic Team to Work With

    Many thanks to Cara and her team for guiding us through COVID and helping us manage our wedding on June 6, 2020. Through all the uncertainty of this Spring, The Estate remained a calm, flexible and positive force. All of the buildings appeared to be thoroughly cleaned and ready for our arrival. Protective steps were apparent at the reception but not "in-your-face". More importantly, the venue was just fun! From the start of the day to the sparkler ending, The Estate on the Halifax pulled everything off without a hitch!! It was a relaxed, joyous day. I highly recommend this venue for any event.

    How does such a beautiful place exist?!

    I’m not sure where to begin. The Estate is absolutely beautiful. It is a huge venue & has so much variety to offer with 4 different ceremony sites. I loved that we had the backup option of getting married in the chapel in case our first ceremony site choice outside failed due to weather. I have to rave about the manager Cara. Any time I had a question she was so incredibly quick to respond. She really is so great & knows what she is doing. I wish we could get married all over again at The Estate!

    This venue is absolutely gorgeous and so much fun! The photo opportunities here are endless and the way the venue is set up makes the day so easy and enjoyable. It is a fairytale like venue! Everything you need is right there! There are a variety of ceremony locations, so there is something for everyone! We had our ceremony at the oak tree and it was so beautiful! We had the perfect day!!

    Perfect Wedding Venue

    I am beyond happy with choosing Estate on the Halifax as our wedding venue. The communication up until our day was always prompt; getting a response usually within the day to all of our various questions. The prices were very reasonable and the caterer that they provide has amazing food. Everything on the venue is picture perfect which makes photos a breeze. All of my guests loved how everything is right there on the property and there is no travelling in-between ceremony and reception. There are so many different ways to make the venue feel like 'yours'. Plus, having the guest house that night was just an awesome added bonus! My wedding day felt like it came straight out of a fairy tale and I couldn't be happier to have chosen this place!!

    Absolutely magical

    Working with the Estate was absolutely amazing! The venue is gorgeous and I knew the moment I visited an open house that I would get married there. Cara worked with us and did a fantastic job! We live farther from the venue and communication was never a problem night or day. The estate was extremely professional and made us feel like royalty! We also rented out the Estate house for the wedding party and it was PERFECT! Plenty of space for a party of 14 and so much fun! We never had to lift a finger, the venue did everything chairs, tables, place settings, decorations, CLEANING, etc. It could not have been better. I highly, highly recommend .

    The Venue of our Dreams

    Estate on the Halifax had everything that we dreamed our perfect wedding venue would have: a chapel (and a historical one at that) for the ceremony, gardens for the cocktail hour, and a tavern that had a warm, ski-lodge feel for our reception! Not only that, it has a functional antique train car for wedding party preparation and a full guesthouse for the other party's preparations and for the couple's stay on their wedding night! It's also perfect because it can work beautifully (and affordably) for a variety of guest counts. The staff was a dream to work with from start to finish and responded promptly to every question we had, big or small. This was the first venue we saw, and with the bar set so high, we wondered why we even bothered looking at any other venues after it. Estate has weddings down to a finely-tuned science, and they will ensure that every moment of your wedding turns out as perfectly as you dreamed it would. We absolutely and wholeheartedly recommend the Estate!!!!!

    Our dream come true!

    The Estate on the Halifax is like something out of a fairy tale. We couldn't have dreamed up a better venue. You have to come see it yourself, and it still won't light a candle to how beautiful it will look on your wedding day. I wish I could live my wedding day over and over again - I wouldn't change a thing!

    Cara was so easy to work with. We planned most of our wedding from across the country, and she was so responsive! She quickly helped answer any questions I had and addressed all of my concerns. I loved purchasing the wedding package - it was so nice to know that so many things were included that I didn't have to worry about finding vendors for, and Cara also has a lot of decor available for rent. Her team on the day-of was very helpful, and everything looked perfect!

    My husband loves trains, so imagine his surprise when I first brought him to tour the venue for the first time, and he learned he'd be getting ready in an old train car? He was beside himself. Agatha's Guest House, where I got ready, is an absolutely stunning old mansion, and it was such a relief to just be a quick walk away from the honeymoon suite at the end of the festivities! The chapel is beautiful, but we only did our rehearsal there. It was SO reassuring to know that we had a rain plan built into our venue though! The grounds and garden are so breathtaking, though, that we couldn't resist planning for outdoors. We had our ceremony under the oak tree, and our cocktail hour was in Snow White's Cottage. Our guests still comment on how beautiful our wedding was. The Tavern was a gorgeous reception venue, the food from Aunt Catfish's was amazing, and our guests loved that everything was all at once location! I honestly can't say enough good things about this place to do it justice.

    The Estate on the Halifax was absolutely wonderful to work with before, during, and after our wedding! The staff was fabulous, and so easy to work with! We had some unique challenges, and they handled everything with such grace and professionalism. The venue is spectacular and the staff was Top Shelf! I can't thank them enough for helping to make our event as wonderful as we ever could have imagined!
