    Spectacular!!

    I had the most enchanting wedding at Tavares Pavilion on the Lake! The venue's classy and beautiful ambiance was the perfect backdrop for our intimate celebration with 90 guests. Amy, who helped plan every detail, was exceptional, and Lee ensured the day ran seamlessly. I highly recommend Tavares Pavilion – a 100% perfect choice for a memorable wedding experience!

    Tavares Pavilion on the Lake's reply:

    We are so happy to hear that you enjoyed working with Amy. She is the best! Thank you for your wonderful review!

    Excellent!

    The Tavares Pavilion on the Lake team was extremely professional, helpful, and attentive to detail. They communicated clearly, quickly, and efficiently. Everyone was very friendly. We cannot recommend them enough! The venue was gorgeous and everything we dreamed for our wedding.

    Tavares Pavilion on the Lake's reply:

    Communication is so important to us so we are so happy to hear we exceeded in that category. Thanks so much for the fantastic review, Nicole!

    Great venue!

    Tavares Pavilion on the Lake was the best pick for our wedding! We had our wedding on June 22nd, and since it is summertime, we needed an indoor venue. Not only is the Pavilion a venue for the ceremony and reception, but they also host cocktail hour and it is absolutely gorgeous! Our day ended up being rainy, but they were quick on their feet with a backup plan for going indoors, and every guest raved on how beautiful the venue was. We got our pictures, and we were worried that since it was rainy that they would turn out too dark, but everything was truly beautiful. The staff is amazing and very attentive. From day one they have been a phone call or email away. We absolutely loved working with Tavares Pavilion on the Lake and would do it again if we needed to.

    Anderson Wedding

    This venue is absolutely gorgeous and their staff is equally incredible! I would highly recommend this venue for anyone to have their wedding at. Between the planning meeting ahead of time, last minute emails, to day of details they helped make our special day run smoothly and beautifully! Can’t get any better than getting married on top of a lake!

    Amazing Venue!

    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!!

    Simply Stunning!!

    This venue was simply stunning. From the large staircase overlooking the water to the elegant wooden features inside, our guests are still gushing about the Pavilion! Amy, Michael, and Lee were so wonderful to work with - they answered all of our questions in a timely manner and were always available to help. They accommodated all of our last-minute changes and were very helpful on the day of the event as well. Would definitely recommend to anyone searching for a venue in Central FL!

    Beautiful memories made at a beautiful venue!

    I attended a close friends wedding at this venue as a bridesmaid and had a beautiful and amazing time! Everything was flawless from start to finish. The staff went above and beyond and made us feel right at home. The communication and responsiveness leading up to the date was unbelievably. I would definitely suggest this venue to anyone who wants the highest level of personalized customer service at a beautiful, upscale venue. Thank you again Tavares Pavilion on the Lake!

    Good Afternoon Ashley,
    Thank you so much for the kind words! We are delighted we could exceed your expectations.

    What 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!!

    My 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!

    Beautiful lakefront venue!

    This was the perfect venue for my wedding! Aside from it being breathtakingly gorgeous, the staff was very friendly, helpful and responsive. They made the planning process very easy! Also, the venue is perfect for couples who want the ceremony and reception at the same location (our ceremony was downstairs, cocktail hour on the pier and reception upstairs). Highly recommend!

    Beautiful setting and responsive, excellent service!

    The Pavilion is an impressive and romantic setting for an evening wedding. The lighting and lake setting were a perfect backdrop for our nuptials. Amy, the manager of the facility, was so responsive to all and any request, responding to emails day and night.

    Perfect Classic Florida Venue

    This venue originally came onto our radar as we were looking for a Central Florida venue that could accommodate a medium large guest count that was on the water (but not necessarily on the beach). We settled on Tavares Pavilion since it was just so beautiful. Also wedding planning from out of state, we appreciated how thorough and open the venue website was, providing from the beginning venue pricing, floor plans, feasible guest counts, virtual tours, and we actually booked sight unseen because of that. We worked with Amy from the beginning and she was and is super responsive via email and phone, another factor making the remote planning super easy.

    Our guests loved the venue and thought it was super beautiful. We appreciated the variety of spaces - a brides room perfect for getting ready, numerous hang out spots and storage areas, and the separate upstairs and downstairs which made it easy to have a full on dance party downstairs while having a quieter space upstairs for guests who wanted to relax. Venue staff was also super friendly and helpful, and really made the day run smoothly.

    Overall we loved this venue and would choose many times over again. It was beautiful, everyone was helpful and great, and it was a truly special place that helped us provide a classic Florida experience for our guests.

    Incredible

    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 staff was amazing. I'm hoping i'm remembering his name correctly but Michael was there to great me at the car with an umbrella when I arrived to make sure not one drop of water got onto me on my way into the venue on this overcast day. Just incredible. Thank you to everyone at the pavilion so so much for everything.

    The 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!
