Lakeview Gardens

Lakeview Gardens is an outdoor wedding venue in Umatilla, Florida, where gardens, mature oak trees, open countryside, and lake views create a setting that feels removed from the city while still being about 20 minutes from Mount Dora and within easy reach of Orlando and Ocala. You have two very different places to say "I do." Sunset Grove offers a lake view and room for up to 150 guests, while the Garden Gazebo is set within the gardens for a more intimate ceremony of up to 70. After the ceremony, guests can gather around the pool for cocktail hour before moving to the terrace for dinner and dancing under the market lights. As the sun goes down, the property shifts from a honey-gold evening into a moonlit celebration. And if your crowd wants to end the night by jumping into the pool, they can. An easier place to start planning Our recommended all-inclusive experience combines Enjoy Your Blooms with The Essentials, bringing together the venue and primary services needed to keep your wedding day running smoothly. Day-of coordination is included, and our team is there to help throughout the planning process. You'll also have two personalized design sessions to work through your ceremony, guest experience, tables, linens, centerpieces, and reception details with our team. Want to bring vendors you already love? You can. Couples can use our preferred vendors, bring their own, or combine the two. There are no in-house-only vendor requirements. And when questions come up, call us. We don't meter communication or charge based on how often you need our team. Make a weekend of it The Garden Cottage, located about two minutes from the venue, is available exclusively to Lakeview Gardens couples and their guests. At the venue, two private getting-ready suites give everyone space to settle in before the ceremony, including one overlooking the lake and gardens and another with a kitchen, TVs, and pool table. Because outdoor weddings in Florida also need a weather plan, Lakeview monitors the forecast and arranges tent coverage when established rain or extreme-heat thresholds are met. Coverage varies by package.
