Overview

In search of the perfect Floridian wedding setting? Look no further than Cypress Grove. With a beautiful tree-lined drive leading to this classic, southern style estate house overlooking the stunning Lake Holden, this is by far our most popular wedding location.

The White Gazebo is the most popular choice for weddings here, offering a gorgeous open-air colonial gazebo nestled into the luscious southern gardens. Alternatively, you can choose from several other stunning settings to exchange vows, including a romantic terrace, a wonderful amphitheatre or the intimate rose garden. Along with the hire of the grounds of the Estate House, we will also hire one of the rooms in the house for your cake and champagne presentation, which also serves as a great spot to cool down from the Florida heat.

You will also have the option of a Classic or Premier Wedding; our Classic Wedding features one hour of professional photography, a wedding coordinator on the day and ceremony seating for up to 24 guests. If you celebrate with our Premier option, you’ll be indulged with professional bridal hair and makeup services, a wedding cake, non-alcoholic sparkling wine, wireless speaker for music, fresh roses for the couple and a luxury white stretch limo… a truly special way to spend your wedding day.

There is great wheelchair access to all wedding areas.  No confetti is allowed at this location for the aisle or after the wedding.  Please note that only non-alcoholic drinks are permitted at Cypress Grove as Florida State law does not allow alcohol in public parks.

Additional Information
