  Wedding of Our Dreams!

  We had the most amazing experience at the Highland Manor. From start to finish, not only did they express professionalism, but they exuded excitement towards our special day. You could tell they really wanted to make sure their couples had an amazing time. You really get to see the value that you are paying for with this venue. I have to say, having Shanna as our coordinator really relieved all stress we had going into our day. If there was anything she could do, she was there. Juan shouldn’t have the title of butler, but he should be called MVP! He was always there, fluffing my dress, getting us drinks, and all with a smile on his face. He was fantastic. The bartenders were on it with the drinks all night and the food was excellent. We received so many compliments! If I could do it all over, I would have it the same way! Thank you so much for everything you all did. It was truly magical!

  Michelle is a rockstar!!

  We are so grateful for Michelle and her banquet staff who made our dream wedding come true and ensured that everything ran smoothly the day of! From all of our planning meetings to dropping off the decorations to a failed wedding cake, Michelle handled every single second with the upmost professionalism. No complaints from us about anything, food was great, the decorations were set up perfectly, and the reception came together impeccably!

  AMAZING highly recommend

  I highly recommend this venue! We got married in November and had the greatest experience with the venue and coordinator, Michelle. The venue has really great and affordable packages for food and alcohol and the food was AMAZING! From start to finish our coordinator was helpful, responsive and constantly provided support for any questions or concerns I had. The day of the wedding everything was so well organized. The venue provides you with a butler, ours was Juan, and he was the most attentive, kind and helpful person. He made sure the whole wedding party was always taken care of and I have to say their attention to detail and support was beyond impressive. If I could do it all over again I would book this venue/Dubsdread every time. They made every part of the process easy and we had an amazing time because of their staff.

  Amazing venue, staff, people, experience

  Words cannot describe how amazing our wedding was. The venue, the food, the staff... everything was immaculate! The venue is amazing and gorgeous, you barely need to do any extra decorations because it has so much character! The staff were also so amazing and so kind! Our coordinator Bonny was amazing and helped every step of the way! Our personal butler for the day was Juan, and he KILLED it! We loved everything about our experience!

  Amazing Venue and Staff!

  Highland Manor on and leading up to our wedding day was extremely professional, over the top, friendly and accommodating.We had around 120 people attend our wedding. From the day we first toured this venue to the day of our wedding everything we hoped for was executed in a way that shows the level of talent and experience that Bonny and Juan have. Bonny made it her mission to give us a wedding we would never forgot. The attention to detail and her overall leadership made us know we were in great hands. Juan was there for us every step of the way and we can't thank him enough for making sure we had everything we needed throughout the day/night. They are truly an incredible crew. Of course we can't forget to mention the culinary team! They knocked it out of the park with the food cooked that night. Our friends still talk about how great their meal was and how it was "the best steak dinner they have ever experienced." The venue was stunning. The staff was family for the night. We couldn't have asked for anything more.

  Venue with a family feel and incredible staff!

  We are one-hundred percent satisfied with the value, staff, food, and organization of the Highland Manor! From our first tour, throughout difficult postponement decisions, to our big day, the Highland Manor staff was compassionate, professional, and so easy to work with. They respond to emails incredibly quickly and have a knack for making couples feel at ease. Our wedding day was so fluid and smooth. Their years of experience in events and weddings was absolutely evident.
  
  With Dubsdread Catering being part of the same company, it not only made planning so easy, but we were thrilled at the number of dinner and bar options. Our guests thoroughly enjoyed their food, and because Highland Manor thinks of every little detail, including boxing up a meal for the bride and groom, we got to enjoy our wedding dinner two nights in a row! The property itself is gorgeous, and the layout of the ceremony space, cocktail hour, and reception room adds a family feel to the whole day.
  
  Our day of coordinator, Bonny, made all of our wedding visions come to life. Our butler Gion worked so hard for us the night of-keeping me calm as we chatted minutes before my walk down the aisle, fixing a wardrobe malfunction, and keeping us fed and hydrated! Another highlight was the “room reveal”-getting to see our reception space before any of the guests, and having a moment to ourselves before the party. All of the team members who handled our contract and payments leading up to our day were also incredibly compassionate and helpful. We appreciate everyone on the Highland Manor team so much!
  
  From the day we signed our contract, we knew our central Florida wedding was in the best hands possible and we highly recommend Highland Manor as a wedding venue! Thank you from Corey and Renee W. and their families!

  We got married here on October 28, 2016 and would absolutely recommend the manor to anyone! The entire process was a breeze. We attended an open house here and were in contact with Bonny from the beginning. She ended up being our coordinator as the date got closer. Bonny had every part of the ceremony and reception organized from our meetings. She was in contact with all of our vendors to coordinate arrival times. We also dropped all of our decorations off with some instructions, and she set them up the day of! We didn't have to do any of the set up. Myself and my groom were assigned a butler and he was AMAZING! making sure we had drinks before the ceremony and he took our drink orders for after the ceremony. When the ceremony was over, all of the bridal party's drinks were ready when we went back into the house. He even followed us around with our cocktail hour treats and drinks while we were taking pictures. Our bridal party was very impressed. Bonny did an excellent job of directing our guests around, making sure they didn't come to the bridal suite or didn't see us prior to the ceremony. She kept us informed throughout the evening and assisted my parents in the breakdown of the ceremony (since they were the ones taking our decorations home). We ended up forgetting something and we were able to pick it up two days later. Everything was perfect and we would not have changed one single thing. Thank you so much to all the staff!!

  Beautiful Venue/Caring Staff!

  I cannot recommend using one of their facilities enough. We used the Highland Manor location and had Bonnie as our coordinator and she can walk the walk and talk the talk. She helped make sure my celiac issue was a priority along with the other diet restrictions we had. It was such a smooth process picking them. They are the caterers as well as the facility so everything including alcohol and drinks is in your package. No searching and taste testing a dozen different food vendors! Also, the facility was A+++ beautiful.

  Absolutely recommend!

  What an unbelievably stunning venue for a wedding. The Manor was everything we dreamed of and more. From getting ready and spending time in the bridal suite (also a super fun groom’s room for the guys), to saying vows under the oak, to dancing the night away in the ballroom, complete with breathtaking crystal chandeliers…it was just a dream come true. The catering team did a wonderful job with our food. Minor hiccups were handled promptly and overall our day was just perfect. Thanks to Michelle, Juan and the entire team.

  Amazing Venue!

  Highland Manor was the most perfect place to get married! The entire staff was amazing! I didn't have to worry about a single thing the day of my wedding. They were complete professionals! I worked with Bonny and she kept everything running smoothly. I was out of state while planning and they worked with me to show me the property, plan the details of my wedding, and schedule the tasting to when I was in town. 100% would recommend this venue!

  Excellence all around!

  Beautiful location, delicious food, and perfect execution. A bride couldn't ask for more on her wedding day! My now-husband is from Apopka and always wanted to get married at this venue. They made the entire process seamless. The in-house catering and coordination are perfect, and their list of preferred vendors is spot on. We were able to find the best cake baker, DJ, and beauty in the area through them. If I were to do it all over again, I would happily still choose Highland Manor and Dubsdread Catering!

  Highland Manor is wonderful

  Highland Manor was the perfect wedding location. Bonny and the Highland Manor team gave us our dream wedding. The location was gorgeous, the food was delicious, and the staff was amazing. The only thing I would suggest is more "crowd control". When we did our first look guests were wondering around the house and instead of it being a private moment we had an audience. Other than that things were perfect. We would recommend Highland Manor without doubt.

  Spectacular

  The Highland Manor was the perfect location for our micro-ceremony and will be for our postponed wedding reception next year as well. Bonny and the Dubsdread team were truly amazing and provided us with delicious food! Our wedding ceremony guest-list went from 120 to 8 guests but Bonny and her team made sure that the day still felt special and important. Every detail for the ceremony that we discussed, Bonny enhanced in execution on the day of the wedding. Anything and everything that I needed and/or forgot I needed, she was there to take care of and had already planned for. Bonny and her team truly know how to make a bride stress free on her wedding day and I can’t wait to work with her again for the rescheduled bigger wedding in 2021!

  Exceptional Coordinator and beautiful venue

  Bonny was such an amazing coordinator! My now
  wife and I had the pleasure of working with her for
  our wedding at Dubsdread Catering at the
  Highland Manor in Apopka, FL. Bonny was very attentive, had everything we needed, Bobby pins for fall outs, bandaids, anything that you could
  think of! Bonny helped our wedding day go
  completely flawless. We couldn't have asked for a better coordinator than Bonny. Thank you so so so so much, Bonny you are and were more than
  appreciated and we cannot wait to share our
  wedding day photos with you!
  Thank you again!

  Everything and more!

  Our experience with Highland Manor and Dubsdread Catering was outstanding! I cannot rave enough about every single person we interacted with. From the waiting staff, to our butler Jose, to our wonderful coordinator Michelle. This staff knows what they are doing and make you feel so taken care of without any hint of worry. The food was also just as amazing, we did a buffet style and even our guests came up to us to rave about it as well. That always makes you feel good. The grounds of the manor are so well kept and beautiful with the amounts of fauna. The fact that there is a hotel, literally within steps of the venue/ceremony site, is next level. Our guests could stay there for a reasonable price and not have to worry about transporting to a far away hotel. Overall, I would recommend this site and company to anyone who wants that seamless romantic wedding of their dreams.

  Highland Manor - Where Dreams Come True

  This Venue is Magical! It has the best food in town, the most beautiful setting, with a team that caters to you, and makes you feel like royalty! From your wedding coordinator, a butler, a chef, a team of servers, and bartenders to make your day, they ensure it is spectacular, whether a small event or large wedding, it will be absolutely perfect! Let me share a bit about my wedding coordinator, they provided us. On May 17, 2021, Bonny & Team made every detail of the wedding at Highland Manor in Apopka perfect, for my daughter! Since I was putting together a surprise wedding of sorts for my daughter who lives out of state, Bonny was there each step of the way... I had so many questions, and emailed her day and night. Bonny was patient with me, answering and providing great advice. At the food tasting, we met Bonny in person. She was full of energy, and delightful! She made some great suggestions for the food. She helped with the contract a few times as I made changes, and she was happy to accommodate my requests. Bonny ensured all our needs were met, and every time we changed the menu she was patient and accommodating. Bonny helped us with all the vendors, and I chose the best DJ ever at her recommendation. The wedding day was absolutely perfect. Bonny made the wedding party, and guests, feel so special! If we needed anything at all, Bonny and Team were there making it all come together! She helped me with every detail down to the seating, number of tables for the reception room, colors to choose for the table cloths, and she took down the names of the wedding party and the order of entrance for the ceremony and how the bride & groom would make the grand ballroom entrance, and made certain it all went exactly as planned! I brought many decorative items in for set-up, the day before the wedding. Bonny took the items, and placed them absolutely perfectly in the venue, just as we wanted. What an amazing decorator she is too! When it came time to see the reception room prior to guests going in, it was the most amazing WOW moment ever! Bonny ensured the lighting, cake set-up, tables, flowers, and linens were placed absolutely perfectly! She even insisted the DJ up light with pin lights, so the cake was glowing, when I had not asked for that. But Bonny knew this was needed. This made all the difference in the world. The cake table looked magical! Bonny ensured the timing of the ceremony, to the guests making their way to the ballroom for dinner, to the grand finale of sparklers was timed exactly as needed, to ensure the DJ, and photographers were at the right spot at the right time. At the end of the night, all the items we brought and flowers from the wedding were sent up to my hotel room. The butler from Highland Manor helped us to pack up all the hair, make-up and clothing from the area the bride and girls were dressing, so this was just fantastic! Thank you Bonny & Team for making that easy. Bonny made the entire day so wonderfully easy, that I am still talking about it, a month later! I highly recommend Highland Manor as your venue. I promise it will be magical! On a last note, I want to thank Michelle, another coordinator at Highland Manor who helped out too, and all those folks behind the scenes whose names I do not know, that handle the cooking, cleaning, and table serving making this venue just beautiful for each event.

  Beautiful Venue, Great Food, & Even Better Staff!!!

  My husband and I fell in love with Highland Manor. We had our ceremony under the beautiful Oak Tree and our reception inside of the Manor. The best thing about the venue, however, was the staff! When we booked our Big Day with Highland Manor we booked with their amazing catering staff (Dubsdread Catering), were assigned a wedding day coordinator (Bonny is the BEST!) and had a "butler" (José was the MVP!) who attended to me and my husband the entire time! Bonny (our venue coordinator) worked with our vendors to ensure proper arrival time, schedules, and more. Highland Manor staff also is in charge of setting up and taking down all wedding decorations that you bring. They work like clockwork to ensure that my husband and I had nothing to worry about on our Big Day! Thank you for making us feel so special!!!

  Breathtaking

  This venue is absolutely gorgeous. I fell in love with it the minute we stepped inside. Michelle was super informative and helpful and able to answer all of my questions. I am excited to be working with them for my wedding and cannot wait for the big day!
  
  Editing after my wedding. Everything went off without a hitch. If anything went wrong I didn’t know about it. David was great throughout the whole process. The whole staff day of was nothing but exceptional. My husband and I never had to ask for anything. Anytime we wanted food or a drink, it was already right there for us. Even when we went out for photos after the ceremony they followed us out with hors d’oeuvres and drinks. All in all will definitely recommend to anyone.

  Amazing - perfect - do it

  Where to begin? This manor built in 1904 was amazing and the staff just as flawless. The selling point for me was the huge Oak tree in the back! You get SO much for your cost. The entire manor, the ceremony set up and tear down, cake cutting, etc.
  Everyone was phenomenal and the pictures came out PERFECT.
  If you want a Disney adjacent location, with an on site hotel, amazing staff and day of coordinator and butler, this is where you want to look. OH and the brunch food was to die for! who would've thought brunch food could be talked about for days after? I can't say enough nice things about this location and staff.

  Beautiful venue!!

  We LOVED Highland Manor from the first moment we toured. David was a huge help with everything and we found that the staff worked quickly and efficiently to help us with whatever was needed. Even though it rained on the day of our wedding and our outdoor ceremony was forced to move inside, the staff made sure everything ran smoothly. The butler they provide you on the day of was also so helpful and amazing. When you add this gorgeous house, what's not to love? We highly recommend Highland Manor!

  Perfect venue!

  The Highland Manor was absolutely perfect for our wedding especially in the midst of a global pandemic. Bonny and the rest of the staff were amazing and worked with us to meet all of our requests and were available constantly to talk through any concerns that came up and were quickly addressed. Having the new Hilton next door was great for all of our out of town guests and ensured all of those who needed a room from the festivities also had one. It also saved a lot of time day of with getting ready at the hotel and walking right over to the venue when it was time. The Highland manor is a gorgeous venue that would be an ideal choice for anyone looking to get married in central Florida with a Victorian home vibe and the staff is a delight to work with as well.

  AMAZING! Highly recommend

  I could not say enough good things about Highland Manor! I am soooo happy we chose highland manor as our venue and we wish we could get married all over again just to experience the day one more time.
  
  The staff were amazing to work with. Michelle helped us when we were first touring the venue and she was great! Then we were assigned Bonny as our day of coordinator and she was also fantastic to work with.
  
  The venue is so beautiful and our reception exceeded our expectations. The room was beautifully decorated and Bonny and team made sure to incorporate all the details that we had asked for. We also had a butler, Jose, on the day who was there by our side for anything we needed. He was literally amazing!!
  
  I would highly recommend choosing Highland Manor as your wedding venue! It does not disappoint.
