Breathtaking Venue!
Sydonie Mansion is a hidden gem! Immediately after touring this historic mansion for the first time, my husband & I knew without a doubt we wanted to get married here. Everything about it was timeless, romantic and beautiful. The grounds around the venue don’t compare to any other venue in the Central FL area. Sydonie Mansion is such a unique place with no shortage of plants, flowers and amazing views. We got married on Leap Year (February 29, 2024), and it was nothing short of amazing! Our guests raved about the cocktail garden and how breathtaking the overall venue was. The owner, Amy, is so sweet. We keep reliving this day in our heads, and everything about it was memorable. You will not be disappointed by booking Sydonie for your wedding! Shoutout to 28 North Photography (Joel & Sammy) for capturing these bittersweet moments; they’re truly the BEST!!! -

Suzanne A. Sent on 06/28/2023Sydonie Mansion was the Perfect location!
We chose Sydonie Mansion as the location for my daughters’s late spring wedding and it could not have been more perfect! The estate is romantic and beautiful, with just the right balance between historic vintage and beautiful landscape. Stacey, the event manager, could not have been more approachable, helpful, or accommodating. She took numerous phone calls for help and information from both myself, mother of the bride, as well as the mother of the groom, and was so helpful and receptive each and every time. The day of the event turned out to be a Very stormy day all across Central Florida, and our team was prepared and ready for anything. As it turned out I think Sydonie was the Only place in the whole area that did Not get rain! It was a miracle! However, had it turned out differently, everyone was well prepared and the day would have been beautiful and gone smoothly just the same! They really were amazing! You can trust them with your most special day I can promise you! -

BEST venue and experience ever!
Sydonie was a dream come true for a wedding venue!!!! From day 1 touring this venue, we fell in love and knew it was for us. Sydonie is not the cookie cutter venue; it is an extremely special and unique place that is marked with beauty and antique elegance. The staff was more than delightful and guided us through the whole process so seamlessly. They recommended top vendors and truly want what’s best for you. I couldn’t recommend this place more and it will forever be in our hearts! -

Sydonie mansions staff and preferred vendors were absolutely amazing. Like they created the most amazing wedding I’ve ever been to and it was mine! Lol. From the florist, to the wedding planner, catering, and dj, everyone was a joy to work with and being married there is truly magical. If you’re looking for a magical French garden wedding, Sydonie is your place. 20/10 would recommend -

I can’t say enough good things about this venue. It was perfect. We felt like we had been transported to a magical, faraway, Mediterranean garden and taken care of entirely along the way. Our wedding was a month ago and everyone is still raving about the “gorgeous venue”! Stacey and her team were fantastic from beginning to end. The preferred vendors were awesome. I wish we could do it all again! -

Sydonie was going to be our wedding venue the moment we stepped on property. I truly felt as though I found a hidden gem, it was exactly the venue I was looking for to make our wedding personalized, unique, destination-yet-homey feel. The historic home is incredibly well cared for by its owners, and each time we returned for a visit, more of its beauty was unveiled and its landscaping flourished. Behind all of the beauty was Stacey - she was the true gem behind it all. Stacey felt like my wedding day mom from our first phone conversation, to our first in person meeting, to her sewing my ripped dress moments before the aisle. Her "customer service", which is truly her love of Sydonie and weddings is unmatched. We had a 99% chance of rain and thunderstorms for our day, and Stacey never blinked an eye at my desire to keep whatever we could, outside. She will be there for you through it all, and I truly felt at home during my wedding day. Every detail of our rainy day turned out 10x better than we could've imagined, and I hope to inspire brides to keep your head up rain or shine on your day - esp at Sydonie - there was something magically romantic and intimate about the rain. I recommend Sydonie to each and every one of you searching - and would do it all over again if I could! Sydonie and Stacey will always hold a special place in our hearts. -

I got married here in February and it was a dream! The venue is gorgeous with endless places for photos. You feel like you are in a different country with the Mediterranean style and Spanish garden. Stacy is amazing and helped so much! She answered all my emails and texts and was so pleasant to work with during all the wedding planning. -

Sydonie is a true hidden gem! We had such a great experience from our first meeting with Stacey. The property is well maintained and has tons of great photo spots. Our guests raved about the beauty of the property and loved looking around. The vendors Stacey recommended were all exceptional, she really knows who works well at the property. The staff was friendly and helpful too! Sydonie is outstanding! -

My husband and I got married May 1st, 2021 and it was the most perfect day! From the moment we went and toured Sydonie Mansion in March of 2020, we knew right away that this was where we were going to get married. We fell in love with the property, I mean, how can you not? It’s absolutely STUNNING. It’s the perfect venue if you love the outdoors and nature. Our guests raved about how beautiful the venue was, too. The owners have put so much work into restoring this wonderful property, and it shows. The owners and assistants of Sydonie are all so incredibly nice and welcoming. We couldn’t have asked for a more perfect venue to say “I do!”. -

I would, and have, recommended this venue to everyone wanting an outdoor wedding! -

Absolutely perfect venue
We recently got married at Sydonie and it was the most beautiful and perfect experience. The grounds are gorgeous and full of personality. There are so many amazing photo opportunities to capture all of those moments you want to keep forever.
The staff is wonderful, Stacey and her team work very hard to make sure you are taken care of and your day is just what you want. -

Literally the wedding of our dreams at this venue! Stacey, the staff, and the owners of the home were so kind and are doing amazing things at this venue! Stacey was able to answer every question/concern we had with doing an outdoor wedding. She was there every step of the way during the rehearsal day and wedding day. The venue itself is like stepping back in time with it’s beautiful structures and peacefulness of the lake and garden. We received so many compliments on the beauty of this venue for our wedding. The venue also provides so many beautiful opportunities for photos! Overall, we are so happy and will continue recommend this venue! -

We had our daughter's wedding there Dec 13th, in the midst of a heightened season of COVID. I called the manager Stacey in despair because another venue had cancelled on us last minute. She was incredibly flexible and supportive of the whole situation and I knew the minute I spoke to her that they would take care of us. She was able to virually take the bride and groom through the place and show them everything when they couldn't even get away to see the venue for various reasons. Stacey got back to us all right away with any questions we had and was very thorough working through COVID spacing to keep all our guests safe. She even had a plan for my handicapped mother-in-law to get her easily to all the places on the property that she needed to be! She was at the event the whole time to make sure everything went flawlessly. This place is magical and has photo opportunities like no other place I have seen, and even a boat house with more character than I can describe. The expansive property, incredible gardens, large STUNNING porch and huge dance floor allow for settings that are entirely outdoors and safe for many guests. Having separate areas for the ceremony, cocktail hour in their stunning gardens with a fountain, another area for the reception, and even the most beautiful area for the sparler send off made this the perfect spot for a wedding...and no one got COVID! I can't say enough about this place and Stacey except that I wish it would open to the public for brunches so we could return there and just take it all in again. The pictures don't do it justice to the feeling you get when you step on the property. Thank you Stacey for making our daughter's wedding so special! -

Arriving at Sydonie Mansion is like walking into a fairytale!! We couldn't have chosen a more beautiful place to get married. Stacy, the venue coordinator, went above and beyond to make sure our special day went perfectly. We had a very intimate wedding due to COVID and she helped us stay with our timeline and made everything run so smoothly! We can't recommend Sydonie and Stacy enough. -

Jennifer A. Sent on 01/21/2021Beautiful venue to have a wedding, and feel SAFE during COVID!
I couldn't have asked for a more perfect venue, and wedding day itself. Stacey made the whole experience smooth, stress free, and SAFE. She went over every single detail on how a "COVID" wedding would look like and went above and beyond to take measures to guarantee that my wedding day would be as safe as possible. I would recommend this venue to any bride, especially those who haven't decided on a venue yet due to the pandemic, because it is outdoors. The views are stunning, and the manager Stacey along with staff were very professional and kind. Everyone at my wedding could not stop talking about the venue, and how it does not feel as if you are in Florida. They also felt comfortable to dance the night away since the reception is outdoor. The photo ops both inside and out the venue are spectacular. I am so blessed to have had my wedding here! -

Vanessa D. Sent on 12/07/2020Breathtaking Venue with an Awesome Venue Manager!
When we drove up to Sydonie Mansion, we immediately thought wow, are we still in Florida? It took our breath away. We were greeted by the venue manager, Stacey, who took us around the property and it got more beautiful with every step we took. From the acres of land where the ceremony area is (with a lake in the back), a hidden boat house for beautiful pictures, a garden that makes you feel like you're in Spain, the bridal and groom suite...I could go on and on. Stacey was so incredibly helpful with sending us recommended vendors, making sure our vision was brought to life, answering our questions amidst a pandemic and helping us to pivot and still make sure everything went smoothly and beautifully. Her and her staff were there on the day of our wedding and they did a wonderful job with set up and making sure the bridal party and family had everything they needed. It was an absolute dream come true getting married here - my husband and I are so grateful we stumbled across this hidden gem in Mount Dora!! -

Dream come true
We had our wedding scheduled for April 2020, due to covid we had to reschedule and the staff and Stacey at Sydonie were so accommodating and supportive to us during such a hard time! They went above and beyond to accommodate a new date for us. We had our wedding in October 2020 and it is a day I will never forget! From helping us during the planning to the day of, Stacey and her staff made our wedding day the most beautiful day. It was better than can ever be imagined! -

Omg. Where to begin. So far, Sydonie has been incredible. Our first tour was perfect and after learning the history behind the mansion, we knew this was where we were going to have our wedding. We went to another venue, but it just didn't have the same charm as Sydonie. Jeane, the planner they want you to book, is also AMAZING. Our wedding is in April 2020 and I seriously cannot wait to get married there! -

Lindsay B. Sent on 03/15/2020The Perfect Old Florida Venue With An Idyllic Garden
After seeing Sydonie Mansion online, I could feel that it was the venue I'd been searching for. My husband and I arranged a tour and although it was their off season, we could see how beautiful it was and how much the owners and staff care for the property. Between the time that we booked and our wedding day, the dance floor was redone with polished concrete, pavers were added up to the wooden arch, and additional paving was done on the driveway. All of this was done in a way that enhanced the experience for our guests without losing any of the historic charm.
We visited the property 5 times total: venue tour, engagement photos, walk-through with our day of coordinator (their preferred DOC was unavailable), rehearsal, and wedding day. Sydonie requires a DOC and we were so glad we had one on the day! Our families still helped here and there, but there was guidance for vendors running silently in the background while they took care of specific, personal tasks.
A huge perk with this venue is having tables and chairs included and being able to add market lighting to our package. That saved us some rental fees and time negotiating additional contracts. Depending on the time of year you're getting married, you may need heaters. For our wedding, we booked 4 heaters with their preferred vendor the day before the wedding when a cold front came through. Their price was lower than renting them through our caterers. My MIL also brought a basket of blankets, which were a hit when the temperatures dropped! They also have small machines that can fit on your table to mitigate mosquitos, but they spray prior to weddings. We had them as backup and I didn't notice any all night. We also forgot our card box and they happened to have one we could use. Thankfully, that's all we forgot.
Thank you so much to Stacey! She answered our texts and emails about little details along the way and made us feel welcome throughout our visits to the property. Karen took over for our wedding day and everything went perfectly. She made sure their team was able to execute all the little details and even tried to help my husband find his lost keys at the end of the night. We can't thank you all enough for all your hard work making our day perfect!
With Love,
Lindsay and Sal

Our wedding was on January 4, 2020 and our hearts were set on an outdoor wedding venue in the Florida winter time frame from the get go. We had checked out 5 other venues across Florida before we stumbled upon this gorgeous, lush venue from a photographer's blog! We knew immediately that we had to add it to our list and as soon as we completed the tour with Stacey, we had our decision made. It checked all the boxes from us starting with having the ceremony and reception in one place, greenery everywhere (less decor needed!), and the most fantastic staff that will take such good care of you from the minute you take your first tour to your wedding day. We had 110 guests and felt so comfortable to roam around, dance, mingle and the courtyard area is an absolute dream!! Everyone is still raving about this place weeks afterwards because it is so unique and special. We can't thank the owners enough who pour their hearts and soul in restoring this mansion as well as Stacey and Jeane who made this entire process so easy and fun. -

Choosing Sydonie Mansion for my daughter's wedding was the BEST decision we made. The owners, Stacey, and Skyler were accommodating and welcoming. The mansion is immaculate and doesn't really need any decorating. You will NOT be disappointed with this venue! Thank you Sydonie Mansion! -
