Lakeview Gardens has been part of the Florida landscape since 1946. Designed by Earl W. Ohlinger, an apprentice of Frank Lloyd Wright, the property blends timeless architecture with the relaxed charm of old Florida. You'll notice it in the small things, like the gardens that open up toward the lake and the gentle breeze that carries the scent of pine and flowers. It's a place that feels both classic and comfortable at the same time.
A History That Adds Meaning to Your Day
Every couple deserves a setting that feels as special as their story. Lakeview Gardens sits in the quiet countryside of Umatilla, Florida, surrounded by trees, water, and sunshine. It's peaceful, welcoming, and full of the kind of beauty that makes you slow down and take it all in. Here, you can celebrate with the people closest to you and make memories that linger long after the last dance.
A Place Where Memories Take Root
Lakeview Gardens gives you two distinct ceremony settings: Sunset Grove overlooking the lake, and the Garden Gazebo tucked within the garden for a more intimate celebration. As the evening settles in, honey-gold light gives way to market lighting across the property, and for couples who want to end the night with a splash, the pool is right there. Every couple also gets personalized design sessions with our team to plan their layout, décor, and flow together, and the freedom to bring their own vendors, choose from our preferred partners, or build their own combination. We stay in touch throughout the process, without limits on how often you reach out.
A Wedding Designed Around You
Rooted in the Land
