Wedding Venue
We are so incredibly happy that we chose The Lakeside Ranches as our wedding venue. We had about 80 guests so we went with the smaller barn. The venue was the perfect amount of space and so many said their jaw dropped when they came through the doors! Not only was all the staff so friendly and helpful, they also have someone direct traffic when your guests arrive! They went above and beyond to make sure that every detail was perfect and nothing was overlooked. Thank you again Kaylee for such an amazing wedding!! -

Wedding was amazing, everything was perfect at the venue. They made everything so easy and less stressful. We bought their wedding table decor package, and they did a wonderful job. We had the big venue, it was soo beautiful. The staff were beyond great, Kaley answered any question I had on whatever day it was.
I would definitely recommend Lakeside ❤️ -

As a photographer videographer. I love Lakeside Ranch! This wedding venue Service is incredible. You get the best layout of going from cool photo shoot location to the next and such a beautiful rolling field with a golf course. They have hay bales, pony drawn carriages, extra chairs for days, and a barn banquet hall! They have everything you need. I would recommend anyone do photos at lakeside Ranch.
Most importantly they have great responsive service that is reliable. Everyone at the venue was incredibly professional and happy to help during their special day. Weddings are difficult events but they have smooth solutions for every problem. I always send the photos to the venue and their online pages so I’ve seen the sparkling magical reviews. You can rely on Lakeside ranch.

My wife and I got married here last November and couldn’t have asked for a better venue! The staff was courteous, professional, and easy to work with and the venue itself is beyond imaging. Beautiful scenery, and the white barn can’t be beat! Would definitely recommend to anyone who is looking for an outdoor barn style wedding, or just a one or a kind wedding in general.
They have houses to rent on the property that are well maintained and have lots of room and we had our rehearsal dinner their and it was an unbelievable success. For everything you get with the venue, and the location, surprisingly affordable as well compared to most venues! Definitely was worth every penny. 🙌🙌 -

We can't say enough good things about the Lakeside Ranch staff and property. From the moment my husband and I walked onto the ranch for our site visit we knew this was the place for us. Kaley was so helpful, patient and responsive. She worked with us from afar and even made time for our impromptu visits. The team made our dream of a simple, elegant wedding come true and executed all of our decor wishes perfectly. We 100% recommend Lakeside Ranch! -

Casey Sent on 09/03/2019The perfect, inclusive, versatile space!
I fell in love with Lakeside Ranches online, and it was confirmed once we visited! To me, it was the perfect mix of rustic and modern and indoor and outdoor. It's a farm setting, with a beautiful all-white air-conditioned "barn" with concrete floors, a wall of windows overlooking the lake, and chandeliers and string lights hanging from beams. We wanted to have an ourdoor ceremony because we love being outside, but we got married in August so we needed to have A/C, so the barn was perfect for our reception! The staff is awesome and accommodating, and the price for what you get can't be beat! In our package, we had all-day access with all the tables and chairs, benches for our ceremony, decorations provided by the venue, and they even have coordinators you can work with as well! Our day-of coordinator Cheryl was awesome and a huge help through the whole process, and ensured everything ran smoothly day-of! Kaley and her team are very responsive and accomodating, and work hard to make sure everything is just how you want it! They have tons of different ceremony sites and options, and the location is beautiful! They have tons of spanish oak trees with moss on the property, which was a huge selling point for me. Also, there are properties right outside the venue where your wedding party/family/guests can stay super close by, and that was a huge benefit, as we had many out of town guests! Lakeside made our venue choice easy, and the whole planning process easy, and I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a versatile, inclusive modern/rustic venue in Central Florida! -

We met with Kaley at Lakeside last Saturday to tour. We were amazed with this venue’s beauty and Easily saw ourselves getting married there. Just a few days later we had made the decision to book and begin the process. We are excited and can’t wait to get married at Lakeside!
Update: we had our wedding Saturday and it was absolutely perfect! Kaley and her staff are super helpful, stayed onsite, and answered any questions we had. The venue was gorgeous, I had so many compliments on the decor package and the venue itself. I would recommend this venue to anyone. -

My son's wedding was magical with the beauty of the property and the white barn to the houses on site, everything was amazing!!! Have your wedding here, you will love it. Thank you to Lakeside for the wedding memories for many years to come!!

Absolutely Amazing!
I highly recommend Lakeside Ranch for your big day! The location is stunning. So rustic but so elegant. It’s kind of like the perfect little black dress, where you can dress it up or down.
The houses on property for rent were perfect! The Manor House for the bride and her gals is gorgeous and looks fabulous in pictures!
Kaley and her team are so helpful in every aspect. Any questions you have, she’ll get back to you ASAP, and if you are unsure about where something should go (a table, table layout, decor, etc), she will guide you and give suggestions.
If your dream wedding is that rustic/elegant feel, this is your place! You won’t regret it! -

Vivienne Sent on 05/02/2018This was by far the most amazing place we could have had our wedding. I live in Massachusetts, so for us and all our guests this was a destination wedding. We got Married Friday, 4/13/18 on the lake, had our cocktail hour at the small pavilion and had our reception at the new White Barn. All on the same property. Greg and Dannette, who run the ranch were 2 of the most wonderful people to work with. We met in the middle on almost everything. The 2 of them really put the Bride FIRST!
Along with renting the ranch for our wedding day we also rented (3) of their rental properties for 5 nights. The houses are INCREDIBLE!! The White House is where a couple of my bridesmaids, my now husband and I stayed. Its decorated nicely and accommodates many people for getting ready.
Danette has a fun bubbly personality and loves to show you every detail. She helped me a lot with buttoning up all the last min. details. She has a room of amazing decor items to rent, which in most cases are much cheaper then buying them yourself. As mine was a destination, renting lanterns, greenery, signs etc was the best option for me. She worked with me on price and by the end Greg and Danette, threw a couple items in to help me out.
We had a HUGE problem with the bar tending company we hired, "Orlando Party Servers" . (BRIDES BE AWARE!!!! DO NOT HIRE HER) MIchele interrupted me multiple times about how she couldn't take all the trash she is required to remove at the end of the night. Greg got wind of the situation, and came to the ranch at 11pm the night of our wedding to speak w/ her. Long story short Michele left me and all my guests to clean up EVERYTHING! Greg got his crew together, and a man named Jesse (He is the absolute BEST) to help us clean up. LIFE SAVORS!
I would recommend Greg & Danette and Lakeside over and over again! I cant thank them enough for everything they did for my husband and myself! They made everything so beautiful for us and saved our night! -

Sheralyn Sent on 03/06/2018We knew within mintutes of stepping foot on Lakeside Ranch property that it was the perfect setting for our wedding and reception. The grounds are gorgeous and options are unlimited for how you'd like your day to unfold, it's literally a blank canvas. The fact tables, chairs, and benches are included is a huge perk that most other venues didn't offer at the time we were venue shopping. Especially considering they are beautiful farm house style tables. This was one less thing for us to plan and coordinate! Many home rentals are available for the wedding party / guests which makes booking the weekend a breeze. Including the beautiful Manor house that is the perfect space for your bridal party to get ready! Working with the team at Lakeside has been wonderful, they have been there for us every step of the way! We are super excited for our big day! -
Jenna Sent on 11/10/2017I can’t say enough about Lakeside Ranch and the owners. The venue is such an awesome place to have a wedding. It is so beautiful and the owners were so accommodating to everything! The property has such a serene appeal it cannot even be imagined. Every area was more beautiful than the next. They have multiple Barn and different options to make your wedding tailored to fit your imagination. Our daughter‘s wedding was just that! The wedding was three weeks ago and we still have all of our friends and family raving over it! We are so pleased with the way everything turned out I couldn’t imagine things being any more perfect than they were! We highly recommend Lakeside Ranch for any wedding or special event. Thank you Lakeside Ranch for the perfect wedding!

Tiffinibronson Sent on 03/09/2017So grateful we chose this venue!! The owners Greg and Dinette helped us in every aspect you could ever imagine! Dinette is one of the sweetest people I have ever met, her and her husband Greg have done things for us no other vendor would, they treat us like friends while at the same time being very professional. They were there to answer any questions we had along with accommodating our every need! Their daughter Kaylee is also very helpful with arranging multiple meetings at the venue, and her very quick responsiveness. Thanks so much to them! When booking this venue be sure to include in your plan Ashlei who is the exclusive lakeside ranch day of coordinator. Not only can she coordinate but she literally did all the footwork that unknowing couples have conflicts with! Ashlei says she is a "day of coordinator" but she really does so much more than that, she is AMAZING and so sweet, professional, and knowledgeable. If your looking for one of the best wedding experiences an elegant/ranch style can offer, I would put lakeside ranch at number 1! -

Anngela Sent on 12/23/2015Lakeside Ranch was the 3rd venue we looked at and it met every requirement we had. Once confirmed that "our date" wasn't already booked, we signed right up! We cannot say good enough things about Lakeside! They were affordable, they allow outside catering, they have on-site accommodations, they have outdoor ceremony and reception sites, their property is breath-taking and they are beyond flexible. We worked almost solely with Kaley, but any interaction we had with Danette and Greg was nothing but positive. Kaley was great at answering all of my questions within 24 hours and couldn't have been more pleasant. She is great! They have a home on property which we held our rehearsal dinner at (which they provided the chairs and tables for!--we catered Olive Garden) and where the girls (all 9 of us!) stayed the night and got ready the next day in. All the girls loved it and we felt so spoiled as it is beautiful! It was plenty large and had great lighting and space for all our vendors to work, they loved it too. The ceremony site is under oak trees on the lake, cocktail hour under a small pole barn and the reception under a larger pole barn, both with market lighting. It is truly gorgeous and exudes a relaxed but formal atmosphere. I provided them with the exact setup we wanted, it happened, and that was that. Simple and professional! To top it off, when taking our formal photos, the horses on property gathered around us and made for awesome and fun photos! The bonfire with s'mores was a hit! The fact that affordable rental homes were around the corner was perfect for guests! The handmade tables and benches were gorgeous! I could go on...Literally, the best day ever! THANK YOU! -

Destini Sent on 01/09/2017I'm so in love with Lakeside Ranch Resort and can't wait to marry my love there in March! It's absolutely perfect and so very romantic. And the owners ...well, they are pretty amazing themselves, and so easy to work with and quick to respond. They have so many decorations to choose from, and the home-crafted farm tables and benches are OUT OF THIS WORLD GORGEOUS, and included in the venue rental!! To top it all off, they offer a Manor House, which we'll be using for our rehearsal dinner and bridal suite. It's the icing on the cake! Seriously, if you're considering this venue, you need to make it your first choice - you won't be disappointed!! -

Sandra Sent on 05/27/2024Use caution
We had our wedding there June 2023. It is a beautiful location. All contracts were signed 8 months prior to our wedding date. Food, alcohol, venue etc. 2 weeks before the wedding the owner of the venue decided to break our contract and state, we could not use our vendor of choice for food and alcohol. The caterer did everything the owner requested including increasing the insurance liability. This game played back and forth up to the moment of the ceremony. Our beautiful wedding was stressful due to their games. As if that was not enough the restrooms located by the ceremony were out of order. The A/C was not turned on in the groomsman's area. It was June, it was hot and no A/C. The drapes for the ceremony area for the bride were nowhere to be found so they were not hung up. Then the lights inside the barn, were covered in cobwebs and bulbs were missing. For what we paid and what we were promised. Use caution when you choose a venue and bypass this one. -

Lashanda Sent on 11/05/2017The best advice i have to give to other brides is - ask ALOT of questions about this venue up front. Mainly about their preferred vendor list and insurance coverages for alcohol. Our wedding date was January 13, 2018 we ran into ALOT hiccups mainly from Greg, one of the owners. Yes, the ranch is beautiful and provides a blank slate for decorating your wedding to your liking. However, dont expect to get a 5 star customer service treatment. Greg is extremely rude and condescending to me and multiple vendors that I have been on a conference call with. And also expect to have ALOT of small print / undisclosed details that wont be told to you ahead of time. During this whole process and speaking to multiple vendors, alot of them have horror stories about this place. The vendor list they give you, isnt updated, the owner Greg will stand by your bar for majority of the night, there is a security officer in the parking lot, trash must be hauled off to a dumpster almost a mile away off site. And the list goes on. Brides, just beware of the small print and have everything they promise you in writing.
