Tina Sent on 04/16/2025Absolutely stunning!
I recently got married at Tavares Pavilion on the Lake. We had a small intimate ceremony followed by brunch so we opted to have it on lower level. Everything was so simple and having the pavilion and the garden area outside as our backdrop made everything so elegant. The staff that day was so nice and accommodating. I couldn't have imagined a more perfect day!Tavares Pavilion on the Lake's reply:

The lower level and garden make such a lovely setting for an intimate ceremony and brunch, and we’re so happy to hear it was everything you imagined. Our team truly enjoyed working with you and we wish you a lifetime of love and happiness! -

I absolutely LOVED the Tavares Pavilion on the Lake! The views during my ceremony and reception were breathtaking. My guests were speechless when they stepped onto the brick bridge over the water as they entered. The staff were beyond helpful and ensured all of our needs were met. The bridal suite for me and my girls was so cute and picture-perfect. I could not recommend this venue enough if you are looking for a scenic lake wedding!Tavares Pavilion on the Lake's reply:

This venue is so adorable. Among all the venues we searched for our wedding reception, this was the most amazing one. The process from start to end was so seamless and easy.
Amy, helped us a lot during the full process, and went above and beyond our expectations to ensure she meets all of our last minute requests and questions. She replies to all emails right away even when she's out of office.
The staff at the venue were very cheerful and helpful during the wedding day.
Definitely recommend the place!! -

The pictures of Tavares Pavilion on the Lake speak for themselves but Amy, Carrie, Michael, and Len really made the venue and our event perfect in every way!
Carrie, Michael, and Len were fantastic on the evening of our event and went above and beyond to make sure our every need was met without us even knowing we needed something. -

Maricel Sent on 05/10/2022What an amazing place!
This venue is not only gorgeous, but their team goes above and beyond for you during your special event. Even the pier is private during your event, in that way your guests can feel more than comfortable. This administration runs an amazing place. Every single staff member is there to help you take your event to the next level! Puff N'Stuff catering, one of their preferred caterer, worked alongside with the venue staff and everything was absolutely perfect. I am forever grateful to their talented, compassionate and wonderful team!! Thank you for making my client (and me, of course) feel so special. You guys are the real deal! God bless you all!! -

Grace Sent on 10/03/2020My Dream Venue
I could not have dreamt of a more perfect wedding venue than the Tavares Pavilion on the Lake. The location, view, amenities, and staff were beyond what we hoped for. The grand double staircase with the backdrop of the gorgeous water of Lake Dora made for the most beautiful and elegant setting. The staff at the Pavilion was responsive, flexible, accommodating, and friendly. We had a date change, a significant guest count decrease, and many logistical changes even through the last week of planning. I am thankful to the staff at the Pavilion (shoutout to Amy and Michael) for their flexibility and hospitality. I received countless compliments from guests regarding the elegance of the venue and the beautiful view. I highly recommend booking the Tavares Pavilion on the Lake for your wedding! -

Katrina Sent on 02/23/2020Incredible
Once I saw Tavares Pavilion on the Lake I knew I wasn't going to be able to have my wedding anywhere else. There was not one place in the greater Orlando area that compared. Once we made the decision to officially have our special day there, everything continued to be just that easy. Working with Amy was amazing. She is so incredibly responsive. If I emailed her with a question I was always blown away with how fast i'd have my answer and through this whirl wind of a process, having fast responses is everything. Come the day of our wedding, the venue couldn't have been more beautiful. It is so clean and so well taken care of. The... -

Sarah Sent on 02/13/2020The view is worth it alone!
We LOVED having our wedding at The Pavilion on the Lake! Our guests could not stop gushing about how beautiful it was. We got married January 4th and the Pavilion left up their Christmas decorations up for us for free! WOW- it was gorgeous! Our wedding was at 3:30 and by the time we were eating dinner during the reception the sun was setting. The entire back of the Pavilion is glass, so we had the best sunset view of Lake Dora through the windows- it was incredible! The city of Tavares owns the Pavilion so you do have to work around some city rules but the staff at the Pavilion make everything so easy! -

Vanessa Sent on 01/23/2020Beautiful and breathtaking
WOW! We came across this venue when we first started dating and there was a corporate event being hosted at the venue. I always dreamt of getting married here. It honestly was dream come true. It has some vintage/antique touches and requires very low decorations. I wish i could go back and just soak it all in again and relive our wedding day. Obsessed with this venue. I would not change a thing! -

I cant recommend this place enough! All I wanted was a beautiful all indoor venue with an affordable price tag. There aren't enough descriptive words that I can use to relay how unique and gorgeous this venue is. Highly recommended!! Go check it out! Amy is AMAZING too. Timely, responsive and so nice. -

Jenny Sent on 09/25/2019Gorgeous and super friendly
Amy Pattee and her team at the Pavilion were super supportive throughout the whole process. The were flexible and extremely responsive. The venue is absolutely stunning- the best of Florida scenery without all the heat and bugs. I adored the venue from the beginning and the more I worked with them the more grateful I was to have chosen that as my venue. They are hands down wonderful. -

Keli Sent on 07/02/2019Gorgeous venue!
This was the first (and only) venue we looked at before making a decision. We were given a great tour of the facility and were just blown away by its beauty and knew we had to book it right away. It did not disappoint! Our guests loved the venue as much as we did and everyone was just in awe of not only the elegance of the inside, but also that it was literally sitting in the middle of a lake! The team at the Pavilion was so awesome to work with - shout out to Amy for making everything such a smooth and enjoyable process! -

Christiana Sent on 04/13/2019The best place ever!
We can’t thank Carrie, Amy, and their TPL family enough! Not only did we fall in love with the venue the second we walked in, their team was truly what sold us and made us have THE PERFECT DAY! Their prompt communication, family-like team, and flawless attention to detail put us at ease. Though we were the 3rd or 4th wedding IN A ROW that week, we truly felt like we were their only priority! We had worked with the TPL team for a year and truly could not have asked for a better experience! THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!!! -

Cassandra Sent on 03/17/2019Perfect Wedding Venue
From the moment we stepped foot on the property, we knew this was going to be our wedding venue. From booking last February to our event this February the staff was extremely helpful and answered any and all questions related to the venue! They had suggestions for vendors and were really the very first step in our perfect day! The day of the event we were so incredibly pleased with how everything was set and ready to go by the time we arrived. We received more compliments than I could count on how beautiful the venue was! I would definitely recommend this venue to everyone! -

Chelsea Sent on 01/11/2019Most Gorgeous Venue in the Central Florida Area
I cannot say enough wonderful things about the Tavares Pavilion. Working with Amy and Michael was excellent. Amy responded very quickly to all my emails and they were able to be flexible when we were not quite certain what we needed at first. We ended up doing a ballroom changeover so we could do both the ceremony and dancing downstairs, and have dinner upstairs. I definitely recommend doing this if you have a larger wedding (100+). The staff made sure everything was perfect the day of, bringing out carts to help us bring in the dresses and umbrellas when it started to sprinkle. The venue was set up perfectly when we got there and since they require you to... -

Tiffany Sent on 01/09/2019Best venue we could have asked for
Amy and the rest of the staff were wonderful! They were easy to get into contact with, answered all if my questions and really made our big day special. The venue is absolutely stunning and our guests could not speak highly enough about it and the gorgeous view of the lake. When the sun set the water looked like glass. I dont have many pictures myself, but some of the ones my guests have been sharing are stunning. I cannot recommend this venue enough. -

Megan Sent on 03/05/2018There is literally nothing negative that I can say about this place. I remember when I first stepped on the pier in January of 2017- I knew it was the place I wanted to get married. I cried when I walked inside for the very first time. It's breathtaking. There is simply nothing like the Tavares Pavilion. From the decoration, the architecture, the stunning staircase, the waterfront views and the staff....it really is perfect. I had my wedding on a Saturday, and the ability to select from a preferred caterer makes this venue much more affordable than some of the cookie-cutter hotel ballrooms we looked at. Amy is such a pleasure to work with and was my main point... -

Starleigh Sent on 04/10/2017If you are looking for your dream venue, this is it! I can't even put into words how perfect our wedding was. It was actually the first and last venue I went too because when I stepped out of the car onto the pier, I knew this was it! The team at the pavilion are the most responsive, accommodating and just amazing people ever. From planning to the actual day, they made all my dreams come true. I can't thank you enough and every single one of our guests kept saying how in awe they were of our venue. From the beautiful lakeside views, to the friendly staff & breathtaking staircases.. I couldn't have picked a better venue. Thank you so much Amy, Michael, Carrie and team. I couldn't be more happier in my selection for a venue.
